GUI(graphical user interface) has been the dominant platform for HCI(human computer interaction). The GUI-based style of interaction has made computers simpler and easier to use. However GUI will not easily support the range of interaction necessary to meet users' needs that are natural, intuitive, and adaptive. In this paper we study an approach to track a hand in an image sequence and recognize it, in each video frame for replacing the mouse as a pointing device to virtual reality. An algorithm for real time processing is proposed by estimating of the position of the hand and segmentation, considering the orientation of motion and color distribution of hand region.

생체신호 기반 인터페이스 기술이란 근전도 및 뇌파와 같은 인위적으로 발생 가능한 생체 신호를 이용하여, 노약자나 장애인이 컴퓨터를 이용하는 데 있어서의 인터페이스(Human-Computer Interface)로 사용하거나 휠체어 등의 재활기기 구동 제어를 위한 명령어를 생성하기 위한 기술을 의미한다. 생체신호 기반 인터페이스는 센서를 몸에 부착하여 사용하며 사용자의 의도에 의해 자연스럽게 생성된 생체신호를 이용하기 때문에 가상현실, 착용형 컴퓨터나 지체 장애인용 인터페이스로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 생체신호 기반의 인터페이스에 관한 국내외 기술 동향과 현재 개발중인 HCI 시스템에 대한 개요에 대해 논하고자한다.

This paper describes a basic study for the classification of cognitive mental states as a basic research of a human-computer interface technique. To recognize the mental states, we obtained 22 subjects’brain waves in course of two types of experiments. One of the experiments is to choose an answer among yes, no or reject buttons, to underlying questions and the other is to select an icon displayed in a monitor screen. After acquiring the brain wave signals, we construct a feature set with the percent power increase for a given segment with respect to that of the reference period. The linear discriminative algorithm is used to classify the cognitive yes/no mental states.

This paper presents the system design and implementation of 'Mon-e', the KT's edutainment robot for young children. We paid our special attention to the computer- illiterate young children, and the provision of the physical and friendly human interface of robots. Specifically, the paper focuses on the video telephony and home monitoring service using the Mon-e robot. RFID cards -based calling makes it possible for the computer-illiterate children to make a phone call to their parents. The SIP and DTMF based remote control of the robot enables the search and track of the children. This experimental development shows the potentialities and values of the convergence service of telecommunication and robotics.

최근 컴퓨터의 발달로 인하여 많은 부분에서 컴퓨터가 사용되고 있다. 그러나 컴퓨터가 한글 사용을 전혀 고려하지 않고 개발되었기 때문에 한글 사용에 많은 문제점이 발생하였다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터에서 한글의 사용에 있어서의 문제점을 고찰해보고 이를 해결하기 위하여 한글 코드변환 인터페이스를 연구하였다.

Hand posture recognition is an important technique to enable a natural and familiar interface in the human-computer interaction (HCI) field. This paper introduces a hand posture recognition method using a depth camera. Moreover, the hand posture recognition method is incorporated with the Moving Picture Experts Group Rich Media User Interface (MPEG-U) Advanced User Interaction (AUI) Interface (MPEG-U part 2), which can provide a natural interface on a variety of devices. The proposed method initially detects positions and lengths of all fingers opened, and then recognizes the hand posture from the pose of one or two hands, as well as the number of fingers folded when a user presents a gesture representing a pattern in the AUI data format specified in MPEG-U part 2. The AUI interface represents a user's hand posture in the compliant MPEG-U schema structure. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the hand posture recognition system and verified that the AUI interface is compatible with the MPEG-U standard.

This thesis aims to investigate new approaches to the control strategies of human arm movements and its application for the human interface. By analyzing myoelectric signal(MES) from the arm movements of the normal human subjects, neurological informations obtained patterned could be used to identify different movement patterns of the arm movement. In this paper Artificial neural network for separation of the contraction patterns of four kinds of arm movements, i.e. and flexion and extension of the elbow and adduction and abduction of the forearm were adopted through computer simulation and experiments results were compared with the experimental added-load arm movements.

More than half of all incidents in large complex technological systems, particularly in nuclear power or aviation industries, were attributable in some way to human erroneous actions. These incidents were largely due to the human engineering deficiencies of man-machine interface (MMI). In nuclear industry, advanced computer-based MMI designs are emerging as part of new reactor designs. The impact of advanced MMI technology on the operator performance, and as a result, on plant safety should be thoroughly evaluated before such technology is actually adopted in nuclear power plants. This paper discusses the applicability of human reliability analysis (HRA) to support the design review process. Both the first-generation and the second-generation HRA methods are considered focusing on a couple of promising HRA methods, i.e., ATHEANA and CREAM, with the potential to assist the design review process.

A comprehensive review on the technical standards about human factors (HF) design and software reliability maintenance for digital instrumentation and control (I&C) and human-machine interface technology (HMIT) in Japanese light water reactor nuclear power plants (NPPs) was given in this paper mainly by introducing the relevant activities at the Japan Electric Association to set up many industrial standards within the traditional framework of nuclear safety regulation in Japan. In Japan, the Fukushima Daiichi accident that occurred on March 11, 2011 has great impact on nuclear regulation and nuclear industries where concerns by the general public about safety have heightened significantly. However for the part of HF design and software reliability maintenance of digital I&C and HMIT for NPP, the author believes that the past practice of Japanese activities with the related technical standards can be successfully inherited in the future, by reinforcing the technical preparedness for the prevention and mitigation against any types of severe accident occurrence.
