The present web informations are mainly described in terms of HTML, which users obtain through input devices such as mouse, keyboard, etc. Thus the existing GUI environment have not supported human's most natural information acquisition means, that is, voice. To solve the problem, several vendors are developing voice user interface. However these products are deficient in man -machine interactivity and their accommodation of existing web environment. This paper presents a VUI(Voice User Interface) supporting web browser by utilizing more and more maturing speech recognition technology and VoiceXML, a markup language derived from XML. It provides users with both interfaces, VUI as well as GUI. In addition, XML Island technology is applied to the bowser in a way that VoiceXML fragments are nested in HTML documents to accommodate the existing web environment. Also for better interactivity, dialogue scenarios for menu, bulletin, and search engine are suggested.

Tangible Space Initiative (TSI) is a new framework that can provide a more natural and intuitive Human Computer Interface for users. This is composed of three cooperative components: a Tangible Interface, Responsive Cyber Space, and Tangible Agent. In this paper we present a Tangible Tele-Meeting system in TSI, which allows people to communicate with each other without any spatial limitation. In addition, we introduce a method for registering a Tangible Avatar with a Tangible Agent. The suggested method is based on relative pose estimation between the user and the Tangible Agent. Experimental results show that the user can experience an interaction environment that is more natural and intelligent than that provided by conventional tele-meeting systems.

As the microelectronics technology is developed, new types of smart intelligent products are being emerged. OSD user interface is one of the critical factor in this kind of product, especially brown goods and information devices, as it is responsible for imput and output function. OSD is being treated as accompaniment to hardware in spite of its importance, and therefore is developed from only simple and separate usability testing based on performance measurement. This study propose a usability evaluation method of OSD based on subjective preference to support existing usability testing. The purpose of this analysis is to make clear what is important factor and how its preference level is from the user's viewpoint. The various attributes of OSD are clarified from user's questionaire and interview, and orthogonal array is generated with specified factor levels. The prototypes are generated from rapid prototyping tool and tested in natural simulation environment. The preference data which collected in this usability testing is analyzed with conjoint analysis module. This usability evaluation is not the final stage in user interface design process but the early planned and circulated stage.

The assessment of environmental impact on NO$_2$ (or TSP) emitted by vehicles is important for local residents from the point of view of their health and environmental protection. In the course of field investigations, correct concentrations are measured and meteorological data are observed for numerical simulation. To determine background concentration for numerical simulation, annual average concentrations of NO$_2$ (or TSP) are estimated using the Puff-Plume model. If the estimated result affects the environment, it must be considered in the environmental conservation activity. To make the process of a estimation of environmental assessment more easily, this system is developed. Moreover, this system was supplied a Graphic User Interface (GH) for the user who calculated the concentration of air pollution exhausted from the traffic on general roads except special roads such as interchanges and entrances to tunnels. This system can offer not only the numerical result but also a graphic display. Even a beginner who is not a professional programmer can calculate the result easily.

This paper proposes an intelligent search modeling using avatar agent. This system consists of some modules such as agent interface, agent management, preprocessor, interface machine. Core-Symbol Database and Spell Checker are related to the preprocessor module and Interface Machine is connected with Best Aggregate Designer. Our avatar agent system does the indexing work that converts user's natural language type sentence to the proper words that is suitable for the specific branch information retrieval. Indexing is one of the preprocessing steps that make it possible to guarantee the specialty of user's input and increases the reliability of the result. It references a database that consists of synonym and specific branch dictionary. The resulting symbol after indexing is used for draft search by the internet search engine. The retrieval page position and link information are stored in the database. We experimented our system with the stock market keyword SAMSUNG_SDI, IBM, and SONY and compared the result with that of Altavista and Google search engine. It showed quite excellent results.

현대의 PC 환경에서 사용자 인터페이스의 변화는 계속하여 발전할 것으로 기대된다. HCI 전용 인터페이스는 종래의 CLI; Command Line Interface의 시대에서 MS-Windows 기반의 Graphic User Interface의 시대로 전환되어 왔으며, 가까운 미래에는 NUI; Natural User Interface의 시대로 도래함은 부정할 수 없는 현실이다. 미래에는 전통적인 표준 입력 장치인 키보드, 마우스를 탈피하여 새로운 개념의 입력 장치들이 개발되고, 터치 방식과 같이 인간의 직관적 인지능력을 흉내 낸 인터페이스로 발전할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 NUI의 사례 연구로서 닌텐도 WiiRemote를 Bluetooth와 함께 PC에 연동하여 차세대 인터페이스인 PC Controller를 설계, 사람 제스처를 통한 자연스런 한글입력의 가능성을 제안한다.

Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) is a compulsory element in a voice-controlled machine due to its inherent capability of interpreting imprecise natural language commands. To control such a machine, user's perception of imprecise words is very important because the words' meaning is highly subjective. This paper presents a voice based controller centered on an adaptable FNN to capture the user's perception of imprecise words. Conversational interface of the machine facilitates the learning through interaction. The system consists of a dialog manager (DM), the conversational interface, a Knowledge base, which absorbs user's perception and acts as a replica of human understanding of imprecise words,...

인간의 가장 자연스러운 통신 수단은 자연언어이다. 본 논문에서는 자연언어 대화체를 사용한 인터네트 상에서의 정보 검색에 있어서 사용자 모델링 에이젼트 (User modeling Agent or User modeling system)의 모델 형성 기술 및 그의 역할을 서술하고 있다. 사용자 모델은 인간의 심성 모델 (Mental model)에 해당하며, 심성 모델이 사용자가 시스템에 대한 지식과 자신의 문제상황 또는 주변환경에 대하여 가지는 모델임에 반하여, 사용자 모델은 시스템이 사용자의 지식 및 문제 상황을 표상(Representation)하여 형성한 사용자에 대한 모델이다. 따라서 사용자 모델은 시스템의 지능적인 Human Computer Interaction (HCI)의 지원을 위하여 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 모델 형성 기술 및 지능형 대화 모델의 지원을 위한 시스템 실례로써 사용자 모델 형성 시스템 $BGP-MS^2$ 와 사용자 모델의 형성을 위하여 구축된 지식베이스 구조를 설명하고 있다.

Natural language query is the best user interface for the users of web text retrieval systems. This paper proposes a retrieval system with expanded keyword from syntactically-analyzed structures of user's natural language query based on natural language processing technique. Through the steps combining or splitting the compound nouns based on syntactic tree traversal, and expanding the other-formed or shorten-formed keyword into multiple keyword, it shows that precision and correctness of the retrieval system was enhanced.
