Conventionally the subjective assessment for measuring the human sensibility is always performed after an experiment or a stimulus is terminated. This aftermath method can not. exactly, reflect the human sensibility which is produced at the moment of the presentation of the stimulus. In the present study, a new real-time subjective assessment system is developed. The system is composed of two parts: the sensibility input part and the sensibility evaluation part. The sensibility input part gets the values, which are recorded on the input board using pen-mouse, from the evaluation of each subject on his/her own subjective sensibility for the stimulus. The sensibility evaluation part displays the level of the pleasantness and arousal on one and two dimension in real time. An experiment on the design of the input board that any subject can easily and exactly evaluates one's own sensibility is also included in this study. The system can be used for evaluating the human subjective sensibility in real time, and, also, can be applied to other subjective assessment tests that require real time evaluation.

Human sensibility ergonomics is applied to evaluation of dynamic performance of a vehicle driving simulator. Vehicle, driving environment, and human perception models are constructed and integrated. Driving simulations are carried out based on these models. This study defines a set verbal expressions collected and investigates which are the most appropriate for describing the fidelity of translational and angular accelerations of the driving simulator. An statistical analysis is uscd to find correlation between the ergonomic sensibility and the cut-off frequency of the washout algorithm. This study suggests a methodology to obtain an ergonomic database which can be used for the performance evaluation of dynamic environments.

A large number of indices are produced from human sensibility ergonomic data, which are accumulated by the project "Study on the Development of Web-Based Database System of Human Sensibility and its Support". Since the research in this field will be increased rapidly, it is necessary to automate the index processing of human sensibility ergonomic data. From the similarity between indexation and summarization, we propose the automation of this process. In this paper, we study on extraction of keywords, information types and expression features that are considered as basic elements of following techniques for automatic summarization: classification of documents, extraction of information types and linguistic features. This study can be applied to automatic summarization system and knowledge management system in the domain of human sensibility ergonomics.rgonomics.

User's sensibility has an important effect upon appreciating household electronic appliances and user's feeling of satisfaction with products has a good effect on the choice of product on purchasing those items. In this point of view, the human-oriented approach of product development system can be adopted as Human Sensibility Engineering. The target of changed development system is to define user's sensibility factors and to apply them to design and development. In this study, the human sensibility ergonomics approach and usability test have been applied to the development and evaluation of an electronic product model.

This study describes the research contents, strategies, and applications of simulator for measuring and evaluating human sensibility. The simulator is the integrated experiment facility which can change the physical environment artificially to measure and grasp the reaction feature of human sensibility for the products and environments. The design technique consists of two parts; development of technique to present the mock environment related to sensibility elements and development of software to measure and evaluate sensibility physiologically and psychologically. The simulator can be utilized for evaluating the main industrial products and environments. Therefore, the simulator can increase the added-value of the product and environment, and also contribute to the improvement of quality of human life.

The relationship between the product design and product image can be defined using human sensibility. If there is a way to grasp the product value or product design that people want most, it could be possible to make and sell user-oriented products. In human sensibility ergonomics, the categories of design factor can be broken into shape and color of the design. Although, the color is the major factor of the design, however, texture were is also an important factor for the shape. In this study, wall-papers that have various shapes of texture were used for the experiment. The purpose of this study was to conduct a sensibility estimation experiment for the product image, and to estimate the parameters of various textures for creating new textures that could be more suitable for human sensibility.

Simulators have been used to evaluate drivers'reactions to various transportation products. Most researches, however, have been concentrated on their technical performance, thus this paper considers drivers'senses of moving on a vehicle simulator through the analysis of human sensibility ergonomics. A sensibility ergonomic method is proposed in order to improve the faithfulness of vehicle simulators. A simulator of passenger vehicle consists of such three modules as vehicle dynamics, virtual environment, and motion representation modules. To evaluate drivers'feedback, human feelings are categorized into a set verbal expressions collected and investigated to find the most appropriate ones for translational and angular accelerations of the simulator The cutoff frequency of the washout alter ill the representation module is selected as one sensibility factor Sensibility experiments were carried out to find correlation between the expressions and the cut-off frequency of the filter. This study suggests a methodology to obtain an ergonomic database which can be applied to the sensibility evaluation of dynamic simulators.

In many fields, the human sensibility ergonomics has been applied to the product development for user's satisfaction. Also, it may use to lots of products and environments related to human convenient life. If the measurement and the validation of human sesnibility are accomplished subjectively and qualitatively, then a good design is expected. Under the very competitive products development, designers applying with human sensibility ergonomics has faced with lots of problems including lack of experience, time, cost, and knowledge. In this study, a method of design for human sensibility application system is presented. Information element database such as adjectives, sensitivities, functions, and design factors is conducted, and design of system development including product development mechanism is produced. Also, the requirements and the specifications of this development model are discussed to develop the qualified implementation system.

The purpose of this study was to develop an automatic expert system for the evaluation of human sensibility, where human sensibility can be inferred from objective physiological signals. The study aim was also to develop an algorithm in which human arousal and pleasant level can be judged by using measured physiological signals. Fuzzy theory was applied for mathematical handling of the ambiguity related to evaluation of human sensibility. and the degree of belonging to a certain sensibility dimension was quantified by membership function through which the sensibility evaluation was able to be done. Determining membership function was achieved using results from a physiological signal database of arousal/relaxation and pleasant/unpleasant that was generated from imagination. To induce one final result (arousal and pleasant level) based on measuring the results of more than 2 physiological signals and the membership function of each physiological signal. Dempster-Shafer's rule of combination in evidence was applied, through which the final arousal and pleasant level was inferred.

This paper describes the implementation process of Virtual Modeling system for a customer-oriented product. The human sense is measured and analyzed by physical design factors and can be applied also for the product design. The first step implementing virtual modeling is to make a human sensibility("Kansei") database. Human sensibility database is constructed with the relational data of Kansei words and design factors. The next step is extraction the design information from the human sensibility database by fuzzy inference algorithm. This design information is used for the input data for the graphic database. Virtual implementation software compounds 3D shape of product. The final product can be modified according to the customer's requirement.quirement.
