Abstract

This paper is a research of gaze analysis for measuring task switching behavior at multiple windows in GUI of windowing system. Previous methods that define area of interest for categorizing gaze had difficulties to define dynamic content that disappears or changes over time. On the other hand, this study suggests a new method to categorize gaze that defines Area of interest in a unit of window during the eye tracking experiment. In this paper, we constructed the conception of WOI(Window of Interest) in GUI of windowing system. Therefore, we developed a system using an eye tracker device and implemented a number of experiments. In addition, we analyzed the number of task switching and proportion of watched content. The method in the study comprehend from previous researches as it can measure and analyze the multi-tasking behaviors using multiple numbers of windows.

본 논문은 윈도윙 시스템 GUI에서의 다중 창 전환 이용행위 측정을 위한 시선분석 시스템 및 방법 개발을 연구한 것이다. 기존의 시선 분류를 위한 관심 영역 지정 방식은 시간에 따라 나타났다가 사라지거나 변화하는 다이내믹 콘텐트를 지정하기에 어려움이 컸다. 그러나 본 연구는 창 단위로 이루어지는 작업 전환 행위를 측정하기 위해 개별 창의 관심영역 WOI(Window of Interest)를 실험 진행과 동시에 실시간으로 지정하여 시선을 분류하고 이에 따른 창 전환 회수 및 주시 콘텐트의 비율 등을 분석하는 연구 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 분석 시스템은 다중 창 이용이라는 멀티태스킹을 측정하고 분석할 수 있다는 점에서 기존 연구방법과는 매우 다른 접근이다.
