디지털 기술이 발전하면서 산업디자인 프로세스에 컴퓨터를 활용하는 CAID 필수적인 부분이 되었다. 3차원 모델을 렌더링 하여 사진과 같은 최종 이미지 결과물이 만들어내는 것은 CAID에 특화된 작업들 중 하나이다. 이 작업을 위해 디자이너는 가상 모델의 재질, 조명, 카메라 둥의 위치 및 세부 변수들을 적절히 조절하여야 한다. 기존 CAID도구의 사용자 인터페이스는 이러한 속성을 컴퓨터 그래픽 연산을 위한 변수 설정 창에서 주로 해결하고 있어 디자이너들이 사용하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CAID를 위한 디지털 렌더링 작업 특히 라이팅과 관련된 인터페이스 문제를 해결하기 위해 증강현실(Augmented Reality)과 실체적 인터페이스(Tangible Interface)를 활용한 가상의 라이트 조작 도구, TLS(Tangible Lighting Studio)를 제안하였다. 이는 카메라의 위치 설정, 라이팅 효과를 위한 변수설정의 인터페이스를 실체화하고 작업공간에 분산시킴으로써 보다 직관적인 렌더링 작업을 지원하는 도구이다. TLS는 가상의 광원, 카메라, 렌더링 대상 등을 물리적으로 직접 조작할 수 있는 마커, 컨트롤러 유닛들, 사용자가 착용하는 비디오 투시형 HMD 등으로 구성된다. 이를 활용하여 사용자는 증강현실 작업공간에서 직접 라이팅 속성을 조정할 수 있다. 유용성 평가 실험을 통하여 TLS가 기존 CUI(Graphic User Interface)기반 시스템보다 유효성, 효율성 그리고 사용자 만족도가 높다는 점을 발견하였다. TLS는 CAID도구의 인터페이스 분야뿐만 아니라 광원과 카메라의 효과를 활용하는 건축, 사진 촬영 교육 등의 분야에서 효과적으로 활용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

이 논문에서, 모바일 장치에서의 이미지 브라우징을 위한 모션 기반 상호 작용 방식의 가능성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 모션을 기반으로 한 인터페이스와 상호작용 방법을 디자인 하였다. 디자인된 인터페이스를 평가하기 위해 이를 현재 모바일 장치에서 사용 가능한, 가속도계와 비전을 이용한 하드웨어와 고성능의 트랙커를 이용한 하드웨어로 구현하여 버튼 인터페이스와 비교 실험을 하였다. 그 결과 모션 인터페이스들의 경우 버튼 인터페이스에 비해, 사용자의 흥미를 유발할 수 있었고, 충분한 훈련을 거치면 사용성 및 사용자 성능의 증대 효과도 컸지만 버튼 인터페이스의 성능에는 미치지 못하였다.

There is currently a focus on usability of interactive computer software. Previous research in software ergonomics has indicated the importance of evaluating the usability of software user interfaces. Software developers, interface designers or human foctors engineers often confront the task of comparative evaluation among systems, versions or interface designs. This study presents a structured model for comparative evaluation of user interface designs using usability criteria and measures. The proposed model consists of twomain phases : the prescreening phase ad the evaluation phase. The first phase involves expert judgment-based approach with qualitative criteria. The prescreening phase uses absolute measurement analytic hierarchy process to filter possible altermative interfaces to a reasonable subset. The second phase involves user-based approach such as usability testing, with quantitative criteria. The objective of the evaluation phase is to evaluate a subset of altermatives using objective measures. A set of criteria and measures for evaluating the usability of computer software designs is presented. The proposed model provides practitioners with a structured approach to select the best interface based on usability criteria and measures.

The operation and monitoring (OM) interface is the digital medium between nuclear power system and operators. The cognitive load of OM interface has an important effect on the operation errors made by operator during OM task between operator and computer. The cognitive load model of OM interface is constructed for analysing the composition and influencing factors of OM interface cognitive load. And to study the coping strategies and methods for cognitive load of nuclear power system. An experiment method based on eye movement is proposed to measure the cognitive load of OM interface. Experiment case is carried out with 20 subjects and typical OM interface of a nuclear power system simulator. The OM interface is optimized based on the experiment results. And the results comparison between the original OM interface and the optimized OM interface shows that the cognitive load model and proposed method is valuable contributions in reducing the cognitive load and improving the interaction efficiency of OM tasks.

Major deficiencies of current automation scheme including various robots for bioproduction include the lack of task adaptability and real time processing, low job performance for diverse tasks, and the lack of robustness of take results, high system cost, failure of the credit from the operator, and so on. This paper proposed a scheme that could solve the current limitation of task abilities of conventional computer controlled automatic system. The proposed scheme is the man-machine hybrid automation via tele-operation which can handle various bioproduction processes. And it was classified into two categories. One category was the efficient task sharing between operator and CCM(computer controlled machine). The other was the efficient interface between operator and CCM. To realize the proposed concept, task of the object identification and extraction of 3D coordinate of an object was selected. 3D coordinate information was obtained from camera calibration using camera as a measurement device. Two stereo images were obtained by moving a camera certain distance in horizontal direction normal to focal axis and by acquiring two images at different locations. Transformation matrix for camera calibration was obtained via least square error approach using specified 6 known pairs of data points in 2D image and 3D world space. 3D world coordinate was obtained from two sets of image pixel coordinates of both camera images with calibrated transformation matrix. As an interface system between operator and CCM, a touch pad screen mounted on the monitor and remotely captured imaging system were used. Object indication was done by the operator’s finger touch to the captured image using the touch pad screen. A certain size of local image processing area was specified after the touch was made. And image processing was performed with the specified local area to extract desired features of the object. An MS Windows based interface software was developed using Visual C++6.0. The software was developed with four modules such as remote image acquisiton module, task command module, local image processing module and 3D coordinate extraction module. Proposed scheme shoed the feasibility of real time processing, robust and precise object identification, and adaptability of various job and environments though selected sample tasks.

This paper describes a cell programming environment that deals with problems associated with programming Flexible Manufacturing Cells(FMCs). The environment consists of the cell programming editor and the automatic generation module. In the cell programming editor, cell programmers can develop cell programs using task level description set which supports task-oriented specifications for manipulation cell activities. This approach to cell programming reduces the amount of details that cell programmers need to consider and allows them to concentrate on the most important aspects of the task at hand. The automatic generation module is used to transform task specifications into executable programs used by cell constituents. This module is based on efficient algorithm and expert systems which can be used for optimal path planning of robot operations and optimal machining parameters of machine tool operations. The development tool in designing the environment is an object-oriented approach which provides a simple to use and intuitive user interface, and allows for an easy development of object models associated with the environment.

With the increasing application of explosive composite structure in many engineering fields, its interface bonding state detection is more and more significant to avoid catastrophic accidents. However, this task still faces challenges due to the complexity of the bonding interface. In this paper, the concept of nonlinear output frequency response functions (NOFRFs) is introduced to detect the bonding state of explosive composite structure. The NOFRFs can describe the nonlinear characteristics of nonlinear vibrating system. Because of the presence of the bonding interface, explosive composite structure itself is a nonlinear system; when bonding interface of the structure is damaged, its dynamic characteristics show enhanced nonlinear characteristic. Therefore, the NOFRFs-based detection index is proposed as indicator to detect the bonding state of explosive composite pipes. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the detection approach.

This paper presents a dialogue interface using the dialogue management system as a method for controlling home appliances in Home Network Services. In order to realize this type of dialogue interface, we first investigated the user requirements for Home Network Services by analyzing the dialogues entered by users. Based on the analysis, we were able to extract 15 user intentions and 22 semantic components. In our study, example dialogues were collected from WOZ (Wizard-of-OZ) environment to implement a reasoning model for generating meaningful responses for example-based dialogue modeling technique. An overview of the Home Network Control System using proposed dialogue interface will be presented. Lastly, we will show that the Dialogue Management System trained with our collected dialogues behaves properly to achieve its task of controlling Home Network appliances by going through the steps of natural language understanding, response reasoning, response generation.

In this paper, a prototype tele-operative system with a mobile base was developed in order to automate cultivation of house melon. A man-machine interactive hybrid decision-making system via tele-operative task interface was proposed to overcome limitations of computer image recognition. Identifying house melon including position data from the field image was critical to automate cultivation. And it was not simple especially when melon is covered partly by leaves and stems. The developed system was composed of 5 major modules: (a) main remote monitoring and task control module, (b) wireless remote image acquisition and data transmission module, (c) three-wheel mobile base mounted with a 4 dof articulated type robot manipulator (d) exchangeable modular type end tools, and (e) melon storage module. The system was operated through the graphic user interface using touch screen monitor and wireless data communication among operator, computer, and machine. Once task was selected from the task control and monitoring module, the analog signal of the color image of the field was captured and transmitted to the host computer using R.F. module by wireless. A sequence of algorithms to identify location and size of a melon was performed based on the local image processing. Laboratory experiment showed the developed prototype system showed the practical feasibility of automating various cultivating tasks of house melon.
