최근 사이버 채팅을 사용하는 인구가 증가함에 따라 다양한 사용자 그룹이 형성되었고 사용범위와 영역 또한 많은 변화를 가져오고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 사이버 채팅은 부가 서비스 사용 확대를 목적으로 운용되어 사용환경이 천편일률적이며, 기능의 다양화로 인하여 사용자 중심의 환경을 제공 해 주지는 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 사이버 채팅 시스템의 사용상 문제해결 방안을 위하여 사용성 평가를 통해 도출된 문제점을 비교분석하여 사용성 향상을 위한 사용자 인터페이스 디자인의 가이드라인을 제안한다. 이에 본 연구는 크게 두 부분으로 구분된다. 먼저 현존하는 문헌을 중심으로 웹 커뮤니케이션 도구로서의 사이버 채팅 시스템에 대하여 고찰하고 현재 사용되고 있는 채팅 현황을 조사하여 소개한다. 두 번째로는, 사용상의 문제점을 만족도 평가, 발견평가, 수행도 평가, 관찰평가를 실시하여 알아내고 사용성 평가결과 분석에 따른 사용상의 잠정적 문제 해결 방안을 제시하는 것으로 구성된다. 이는 향후 사이버 채팅 시스템의 보다나은 사용성 평가의 적용방법과 활성화를 꾀할 목적으로 진행되었다. 사용성 평가에 따른 주요 발견 점으로는 채팅 기능의 구조화, 화면 구성요소의 크기 및 배치에 따른 화면의 가시성, 대화환경에 따른 이미지나 기능의 적절한 메타포 사용의 개선 및 개발이 필요한 것으로 대두되었다.

The automation of agricultural machines is an irreversible trend considering the demand for improved productivity and lack of labor in handling agricultural tasks. Unstructured working environments and weather often inhibit a seemingly simple task from being fully autonomously performed. In this context, we propose a remote driving system (RDS) to aid agricultural machines designed to operate autonomously. Particularly, we modify a commercial speed sprayer for orchard environments into a robotic speed sprayer to evaluate the proposed RDS's usability and test three sensor configurations in terms of human performance. Furthermore, we propose a confidence error ellipsebased task performance measure to evaluate human performance. In addition, we present field experimental results describing how the sensor configurations affect human performance. We find that a combination of a semiautonomous line tracking device and a wide-angle camera is the most effective for spraying. Finally, we discuss how to improve the proposed RDS in terms of usability and obtain a more accurate measure of human performance.

In Top-down sites, there are many open sections around the tower crane installed on the steel frame. The open section near the tower crane may cause slab cracks and deformation of the steel frame members installed in the open section due to earth pressure. Therefore, in the field, additional consideration during construction of the open section near the tower crane should be considered.

At the construction site of the driving site, the pile rebound and penetration measurements are performed manually to determine the end point of the driving operation, thereby causing the measurer to be exposed to a death accident. In this study, in order to eliminate the risk of this work, a non-contact penetration measuring device was developed and usability evaluation was conducted. The penetration measuring device is manufactured based on the ultrasonic sensor, and can be combined with the pile to deliver the data in real time, and the delivered data can be output in real time on the portable PC and the final penetration can be calculated. Usability evaluation on the device was conducted by comparison with manual work. Usability evaluation was largely evaluated on measured values, subjective comfort, and body parts comfort. The result of the measured value tended to overestimate the value measured manually by the measuring device, which is similar to the previous research. In terms of subjective comfort and body part comfort, overall satisfaction was higher than the manual method when using the measuring device. Taken together, these results indicate that it is possible to use the rudder measuring device in place of manual work in the construction site, and it is judged that the worker's comfort is greatly increased by using the measuring machine. The results of this study suggest that the use of non-contact measuring device in the field can be used as basic data to support them.

Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a usability test for CPAD (Cognitive Perceptual Assessment for Driving) and improve it based on the test results. Background: The cognitive perceptual assessment for driving is a computer-based assessment tool to assess the driving capacity of people with brain-damages. It may be a good tool for evaluating the brain-damaged drivers' safe driving capabilities and screening cognitive and perceptual deficits related to driving. We performed a usability test to improve the CPAD based on the result. Method: Both the software consisting of 8 sub-tests (depth perception, sustained attention, divided attention, stroop test, field dependency, digit span, trail making A, trail making B) and the hardware including the input and output devices ( joystick, mouse, keyboard, touch screen) were evaluated through user interviews. Also we identified the problems and issues in using them by observing the participants performing the CPAD tasks. Results: Based on the results, the task instructions were visually and auditorily improved and more practice examples were added to help the users understand the instructions better and increase the input accuracy, a response time window was added and the joystick and touch screen were simplified, which made it easier for the user to perform the CAPD tasks. Conclusion: User discomforts were minimized by improving the task environment, unless it had affected the evaluation criteria. Application: We plan to distribute the improved version of the CPAD to the regional rehabilitation hospitals, and the driving support centers for people with disabilities throughout the country, so it could be used as an evaluation tool for disabled drivers' cognitive and perceptual functions.

The main objective of our research is analyzing user's emotional changes while using a product, to reveal the influence of usability on human emotions. In this study we have extracted some emotional words that can come up during user interaction with a product and reveal emotional changes through three methods. Finally, we extracted 88 emotional words for measuring user's emotions expressed while using products. And we categorized the 88 words to form 6 groups by using factor analysis. The 6 categories that were extracted as a result of this study were found to be user's representative emotions expressed while using products. It is expected that emotional words and user's representative emotions extracted in this study will be used as subjective evaluation data that is required to measure user's emotional changes while using a product. Also, we proposed the effective methods for measuring user's emotion expressed while using a product in the environment which is natural and accessible for the field of design, by using the emotion mouse and the Eyegaze. An examinee performs several tasks with the emotion mouse through the mobile phone simulator on the computer monitor connected to the Eyegaze. While testing, the emotion mouse senses user's EDA and PPG and transmits the data to the computer. In addition, the Eyegaze can observe the change of pupil size. And a video camera records user's facial expression while testing. After each testing, a subjective evaluation on the emotional changes expressed by the user is performed by the user him/herself using the emotional words extracted from the above study. We aim to evaluate the satisfaction level of usability of the product and compare it with the actual experiment results. Through continuous studies based on these researches, we hope to supply a basic framework for the development of interface with consideration to the user's emotions.
