　View Summary

Due to the pandemic of the COVID-19 infection, almost Japanese university were to move the classes online. Heretofore, there were canceled as a face-to-face gave the guidance for entrance ceremony, registering for the course and lectures except for special skill trainings. Almost university student had to join the classes from their room of the residence. Under in ordinary circumstances, it was free utilization of campus equipment as open space PC and library for their own learning. For the experienced student, it was prepared high performance computer in each laboratory. However there were expected up to about 90 minutes in a day by 5 frames, approximately totally 8 hours at the longest, and additional assignments of these lessons will be handled by telework in their room. Originally, it was hard to say that all university students were able to get telework in an appropriate environment, because of conditions precedent using campus equipment as schooling. Moreover, prolonged VDT work in improper posture cause to increase the frequency of ergonomic injuries and illnesses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the individual student environment of working for ICT in the rooms. The individual data from photo was classification desk, chair, chair with armrest or not, desk light, cushion for ergonomic evaluation as a guideline of Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The Data were collected over 300 students via cloud e-Learning system from May to December in 2020.There were 30% student who has no chair, using low table and sitting the floor. There were 23% student has used Japanese style low table called Chabudai for the attend their classes. The major findings out of this study, it was not enough the equipment for the long hours study in a day about 23% student from their room. There was significant difference population proportion teszt between male and female, using desk or low table. It was conducted an online questionnaire to over 300 university students in their 20s to investigate whether an appropriate working environment was established. Compare and evaluate with the ideal working environment and report the current situation.

　View Summary

<p>This experiment tested the effectiveness of pain relief patches using a human factors engineering method. It is said that sticking pain relief patches on the plantar arch of the foot can help reduce fatigue around the hips and knees. Measurements for this study involved the evaluation of the static upright postures of 8 female participants. I got the subject to measure blood pressure and cardiac beats rate. Moreover, the Visual Analog scale questionnaire survey was conducted. Data were collected a total of four times per person, both before and after exercising with and without the pain relief patches. The eye-opening state and the eyelid closure state were added, respectively. Since it measured by eight patterns, 64 data was collected. While there were no effects observed before exercising for both conditions. There were no significant difference in area between Center of pressure (COP) measurements during the static upright postures in an eyes-open state after conducting the exercises with and without the pain relief patches. Consequently all participants reported that they did not feel the pain relief patches on their feet. The results of this experiment support the fatigue-alleviating effects of the pain relief patches and suggest its possibility in maintaining a more stable static upright posture. It was considered that post physical activity, due to decreasing the trajectory of COP, it was effect of possibility anti-fatigue function..</p>

　View Summary

Fall accident is one of the problems in aged society. And Joint disease is also severe, especially in the field of rehabilitation. They are related to the walking ability. Thus, the evaluation and training of walking ability are important to prevent fall accidents. Conventionally, it needs long term of experiments to evaluate the walking ability by motion capture systems, force plates, and so on. In addition, the conventional methods spend costs expensively. The evaluation should be obtained easily in order to reduce the subjects’ burden. In this study, evaluation by the accelerometer and gyrometer was practiced in place of the conventional methods. Two 8ch acceleration and gyro sensors (RF10, MicroStone Corporation) were installed to a subject’s sacrum and vertebra to measure his spine stick picture motion during his walking. Power spectrum, movement track and RMS were used for comparison with measurements of motion capture system (Vicon). All the results have shown the validity and reliability of the simple measurement method. It was revealed that the stick picture motion has the possibility to be applied to the walking ability indicator.

　View Summary

It is one of the most important to create an optimal sleep environment. People who lived irregular hours, i.e. shift workers, global communication tasks, typically obtain 1–2 hour less sleep than the generally accepted target of 8 hours per day. Shift work has become increasingly common in the modern globalized economy. Many work settings such as factory work, service industries, power plants, internet communication management, health care and emergency services require shift work that includes work at night. Furthermore, not only shift workers but also young smart phone device users often experience an extended period of acute sleep deprivation at the start of a new day. Most sleep deprivation studies using complex cognitive tasks require the participants to complete the tasks alone. It was effected human health care and learning performance in young people. The purpose of the current study was to investigate how sleep environment changes between high school student and university student. Jissen Womenn’s Uiversity Ethics Committee approved this survey. There were 831 students (male: 387, female: 444) participate in this study. It was 16 sleep questionnaire items on our web server, i.e.: depth of sleep, difficulties in waking up, quality and latency of sleep, negative affect in dreams, and sleep irregularity, etc. It was collected data during our course activity. There was no significant difference sleeping pattern in between high school and university student. Additionally it was on roughly the same level sleeping conditions of them. However it was a tendency toward to sleep deprivation onto nocturnal life. In the current report we present results of a prospective study that used objective measures to evaluate sleep, it was consequently sluggishness due to the chronic sleep deprivation, to become a late-night students.

　View Summary

It was well known to apply makeup to get well daily life for especially dementia person. Then it was very important to makeup, enjoying paint own face beautifully for all women. Recent years there were many opportunities to makeup conditions during recruiting occupational period in Japanese university students. They had a training session about makeup and arrangement of hairstyle to best suited to getting jobs. That’s the way that the purpose of this study was to investigate in difference between a man and a woman about virtual image of recruited makeup and hairstyle. There were over 82% student from preliminary survey (n = 145), to learn important events markup for recruiting. There were 22 students (men: 6, female: 16) participate in this experiments to evaluate the 16 image of virtual markup patterns. It was produced the virtual markup images from jKiwi (GPL, OpenSource, ver0.9.5) to according to result of questionnaire markup materials (eye shadow: 2 colors, cheek color: 2 colors, lip liner: 2 color, and basemake: 1 type). It was applied sensory reactions in both pair comparison method and normalized standings methods. Additionally we tried to data acquisition of point of gaze compare two different images side-by-side by using EMR-9 (Eye Mark Recorder, Nac Image Technology, Japan). There was the most popular image of pair comparison method that not too long hairstyle with elastic viewable ear, eye shadow with light brown color than pink, cheek with orange than pink, lip liner with pink than orange. However, it was finding of normalized standings methods that the most popular image was to markup cheek with pink than orange in a confined change. It was observed the different of gazing pattern between men and female that it was more long period of residence-time distribution at mouth in men. Consequently, it was showed that it was mood shift the ill-loved onto heavy using of orange color makeup. It was indicated that perceive a need to worry about what the other person likes in acceptance wide variety for recruiting makeup.

Quantitative confirmation of residents’ everyday life behavior by acceleration measurement of facilities in a house

Macky Kato, Yoshie Shimodaira, Takeshi Sato

New Ergonomics Perspective - Selected Papers of the 10th Pan-Pacific Conference on Ergonomics 243 - 249 2015

　View Summary

In aged society, decreasing of worker population is one of the most important problems. Especially the farming population has been decreasing in recent years. On the other hand, the elderly people’s families live away from them, because they cannot expect a reasonable profit from farming. In addition, it is hard to find other jobs in a rural area. Thus, the isolated farmers need somebody’s help to take care of themselves. For example, the families can confirm their everyday lives by a remote system with monitor cameras. However, it can violate the residents’ privacy. The appropriate system should have a confirmation function without violating the privacy. In this study, facilities in a house can be thought as sensors of everyday life in place of cameras. The acceleration measurement was held for quantification of the residents’ behavior in a house. The residents in the subject house are 62-year aged husband, 58-year aged wife and 91-year aged father. The accelerometers have been fixed on the refrigerator and the door in the house. Approximately one-year lengths, acceleration of the facilities were recorded through 2013 and 2014. The fluctuation of acceleration of the refrigerator can indicate the resident’s using in a day. It showed that the residents lived well-regulated lives. The refrigerator will be able to indicate the feature of their everyday life. On the other hand, the fluctuation of acceleration of the door can indicate the resident’s movements inside out. The door movements depend on the seasons. The number of the door movements in each season is different. They kept the door open through the daylight in summer, but they close the door after going in winter. These results reveal that the acceleration measurement of facilities in a house can become the quantitative confirmation method of residents’ everyday life stability.

　View Summary

Motion repeatability is one of the required skills for any sports including tennis. One of the reasons why expert tennis players can accurately serve the ball to another side is their motion repeatability. On the other hand, however the novice players can luckily serve the ball, they are required to practice again and again to repeat the motion. The reliable criterion by the objective numerical indicator is needed for training and evaluation of motion repeatability. In this study, the method of numerical evaluation of motion repeatability would be developed by a motion capture system. The correlation coefficients of each segment angular fluctuation on the serving motions were validated as the criterion for motion repeatability. 17 sensors measure three-dimensional 23 segments and 22 joints angle fluctuations during the two seconds around the ball impact. Three experienced tennis players and three novice players tried to serve ten balls by right arms. The results of the experiments indicated that the repeatability of upper body tends to be stable comparing arms and legs for all the subjects. The correlation coefficients of the fluctuations at the measurement joints that are far from the upper body tend to be low. Comparing the experts and the novices on the motion of the arms and legs, the novices have much variation of correlation coefficients of each motion than the experts. In addition, most of the motion fluctuations of novices are larger than those of the experts. This study revealed that the joint angular fluctuation would be able to be applied as a criterion of motion repeatability.
Simplification and transformation of ASTM F1292 measurement procedure for fall accident injury criteria

Industrial Health 52 ( 5 ) 407 - 413 2014

　View Summary

Protecting children from injuries caused by fall accidents from playground equipment is important. Therefore, measures toward minimizing the risk of fall accident injuries are required. The risk of injury can be evaluated using ASTM F1292. In this test, G-max and the HIC are used to estimate the risk of injury. However, the measurement procedure is too complicated for application to a large number of installed equipment. F1292 requires simplified by reducing the number of phases, even with a small risk of loss in accuracy. With this in mind, this study proposes a shortened measurement procedure and a transformation equation to estimate the risk as same as F1292. As the result of experiments, it was revealed that G-max and the HIC values for both procedures linearly increase with drop height. The differences in outcomes between the regression equations of the standardized procedure and those of the shortened procedure can be used as a correction value. They can be added to the value measured by the shortened procedure. This suggests that the combination of the shortened procedure and transformation equation would be equivalent to F1292, with the advantage of being more easily and efficiently applied to the evaluation of installed playground equipment.

　View Summary

There were few data for spot of the difference searching skilled on eye movement. Especially, it was unknown how to view and recognition of spot difference quickly. The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavior of spot the difference due to the time pressure tasks. Twelve students participated in this study (average 21 years old). Every subject equipped eye movement apparatus recorder (NAC EMR-9, Tokyo Japan), it was displayed gaze point of spot the difference as the stimulus pictures. The attention stimuli was same two photos it's has spot the difference. The device was measured the spot of the difference as x and y coordinated. It was within one minute to each one recorded searching behavior. After recording gaze and eye movement coordinate apparatus was analyzed it with analytical software (EMR-dFactory ver2.12b, Tokyo Japan). The results of this study were the findings of major two skilled patterns. They gaze tracking one side that was not easily to find out the spot of difference like as inattentional blindness. And it was too quickly eye gaze movement to detected difference. The other it was equal time and trajectory on right and left stimulus picture. © 2012 IADIS.
Elderly people's health confirming by measurement of fixtures acceleration

Proceedings of the IADIS International Conference Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction 2012, IHCI 2012, Proceedings of the IADIS International Conference Game and Entertainment Technologies 2012 335 - 338 2012

　View Summary

The numbers of the elderly people who live alone have been increasing in Japanese society. One of the countermeasures against solitary elderly people's problems is the development of a safety confirming system. Past studies indicated that measurement of acceleration on fixtures at home may be able to become a method to confirm the solitary elderly person's condition at their home. However the acceleration measurement at multiple positions in the house may be applied not only as a safety confirming method, but also as a health confirming method. In brief, the rhythm observed in the acceleration variation may indicate the inhabitant's usual behavior rhythm. The results of a month-long record of six fixtures indicated that subjects have their own behavior rhythm on each day. When some irregular wave was recorded out of their rhythm, we can suppose that some irregular "event" has occurred. For example, the variation of bedroom door acceleration indicates the subject's behavior through the night. When no acceleration was observed at the time to go to bed, the subject did not use the bedroom, but had dozed off in the living room in spite of risk of cold. Also there were other flat lines through the measurement period. Those flat lines meant the subject's absence of movement. These facts mean that we can confirm elderly peoples' behavior, health condition and safety by measurement of acceleration of fixtures. © 2012 IADIS.
Comparison of postural control ability among three age groups using acceleration measurement

Macky Kato, Yoshie Shimodaira, Takeshi Sato

Journal of human ergology 40 ( 1-2 ) 101 - 108 2011.12

　View Summary

The purpose of this study is to suggest a numerical model for postural control ability variations in children, young adults and the elderlies. Three sensors were attached to the subjects' bodies at the vertex, the iliospinale and the mid-patellar to measure three-dimensional acceleration at each point while subjects maintained a standing posture for two minutes. Variations in acceleration at the vertex differed among the three age groups. Most children subjects could not maintain the initial position during the trials, whereas the young adult subjects could maintain it. Most elderly subjects could maintain their lateral balance however it was difficult for them to maintain their anteroposterior balance. From the results of acceleration measurement, it is indicated that the scalar of the average acceleration vector at the vertex point could serve as a numerical criterion of postural control ability.

　View Summary

Number of elderly people who live alone or elderly only couples are going to increase as ratio of elderly people increase in Japan as same as the other developed countries. They often have trouble with their health which needs care by someone. However most of their families live away from them. In this study we tried to develop remote monitoring system by measurement of fixture movement at home to observe the elderly people's daily behavior for safety. Through eight days experiment at rural area in Nagano, Japan, the acceleration measurement system recorded the door movement to observe the inhabitant's characteristics. Extracted characteristics from the results has shown the inhabitant's behavior which can be used for criteria of their activities. Elderly people who live alone or elderly only couples will be able to be monitored their safety by this automatic confirming system without violation of the inhabitant's privacy. © 2011 IADIS.

平成19年度から20年度にかけて実施された入力に関するインターフェイスとして用いる新規デバイスに関する研究の結果、入力方法の簡素化が必要であることがわかったため、インターネット接続用の機器として安価に入手できる携帯型ゲーム機に用いられるインターフェイスによるWEBブラウザ利用を試みた。操作すべき対象の数は減るため、学習に要するユーザの労力は低減する。しかしながら小型のブラウザ機器は画面の大きさが小さく、利用に困難が生じるため、表示機能との間でトレードオフが生じることが明らかとなったことから、表示を拡大する必要があることが明らかとなった。
また、入力側インターフェイスの構造に対して、平成21年度は、出力インターフェイスを課題とした寛容性の研究を行った。すなわち、前年度までの調査によって、高齢者に対する操作性向上を目的とした機能制限は,インターフェイスレベルにおいて必要であることがわかったため、特にコンピュータによる表示情報についての寛容性を実現するために、専門的に用いられる用語を普通の態様で使用される言葉への置き換えについて検討した。初心者向けに用意された教本から抽出した用語の多くは専門用語を用いているが、これを普通に用いられる言葉に置き換えることで、ユーザの理解を促すことが可能になることがわかった。つまり実装されるインターフェイスとして、ユーザ自身が持つボキャブラリへの変換が行われることが、表示デバイスに求められることがわかった。以上のことから、PCの用途を限定している多くの高齢者ユーザに対してPCの利用促進にあたっては、複雑な学習を要するPCではなく、高齢者のユーザ特性を考慮し、機能が限定された安価な端末を用いる方法が、寛容なPC学習方法として有効であるといえる。

　View Summary

One of the purposes of this study is decreasing residents' physical and mental burden in a depopulated area by applying IT to Mura-Yaku, the role of the village, by introducing information and communication technology. Another purpose is preparing the computer environment at elderly people's house as communication tools for their hobby, farm and communication for their family who stay away.
At first, we held PC class with aim of applying information technology to Mura-Yaku, the role of village. However, we had only suggested the alternation of Mura-Ysku to the IT at that time, because of the little number of participants in small area and the problem of infrastructure in the village. It was cleared that expanding number of users is important for the computerization. Mura-Yaku will be changed into information technology when they use PC without any limitation.
In order for the elderly people to continue using PC at their house after the lessons, they need some support systems. By the support system and assist of a computer club in the neighbor village, we came to send tutor to them from community center. On the other hand, we started Nakajo PC Cub for the students of computer class to communicate each other and get some help of supporters. We opened the permanent computer room at the community center to expand the number of users and to support them to use IT. Furthermore, we conducted an experiment of pointing device manipulating by elderly users and could find out a factor of device for elderly users.
The purpose of PC was for use as a stand-alone until this time. So we held the next PC classes to build homepages with the consciousness of use in network. At this time the staff of community center and village office participated with the residents. Most of their concerns are about their personal materials, such as hobby, farm, and so on. Thus, it will become possible to activate the communication outside a village by dispatching their personal information. This resident network was able to show the direction which agriculture and depopulated area activate.

　View Summary

In this study, Mura-Yaku is paid attention, which has been the role to manage the community for many years. However, it is felt as burden for the residents in the depopulated aged area. The purpose of this study is applying IT and proposing an effective model to reduce the burden. Some of case study for novice elderly users of PC was proposed in 2003. And in 2004, the problems were clarified for the aged students using PC continuously at their home. Although PC was used for a while at the house, it will not be used when agricultural work becomes busy. Therefore, some of them forgot that basic operation task. And there was a case that frequency of communication with their family by the E-mail decreased gradually. Thus, use frequency also decreased. Although they can ask to the researchers when they have trouble, they hesitated to ask. Consequently, there were students who call the researchers after long time, and students who stop using after the trouble.
The charge of the Internet use was expensive for elderly people to connect, even if they know the convenience. Continuation uses of PC by the elderly people needs improvement of the interface such as language, their own purpose to use PC, and keeping of troubleshooters.
At the 2nd class, staff of a public hall was positioned as a supporter. Moreover, PC room was prepared continuously to be able to contribute to the improvement in the rate of PC use. Attendances also want to use PC for Mura-Yaku positively. As a result of this study, the model of the local management system was established, which replaces Mura-Yaku and be applied in a depopulated aged area.

　View Summary

本研究の目的は介護従事者に対する情報提供のために携帯情報端末を有効利用することであるが,平成16年度は前年度まで行ってきた,利用の前提となるインターフェイスの適正化が必要である点に関して継続的な研究を行った.特に端末のユーザのニーズに対して適切な情報を提供するためには,ユーザのニーズを明確化する必要があるため,携帯情報端末を継続的にモニタリングする介護従事者に対する直接的な聞き取り調査を行ったところ,ユーザが求める情報のうちもっとも優先順位が高いものは,介護対象となる要介護者の個人情報であった.聞き取り調査および質問紙調査においても同様の結果がえられたことから,これを可能にするシステムの導入が求められていることがわかった.ただ単純なイシターフェイスを具備した携帯情報端末に対して個人情報を提示することは,その保護の観点から望ましくないため,十分なセキュリティが必要となる.そこで簡素なインターフェイスとしてバイオメトリック認証技術などの導入が必要であることがわかった.
質問紙調査では,PDAの普及については低迷していることがわかった.対象となった104名のうち約89%が携帯電話を所有していたが,PDAについては約3%であった.さらに携帯電話所有者のうち約87%は電子メールを利用しており,テキスト形式の情報の取り扱いについて可能であることが示唆された.PDAの普及が進まない原因は2点あげられる.一つはPDAを用いることによる仕事上の利点に関して知識がないことであり,もう一つは携帯電話の高性能化と普及率の拡大である.このことから,介護従事者に対して携帯性の高い情報端末を普及させるための用件として,ユーザビリティの向上に加えて,外部との通信機能の確保があることがわかった.従って今後の展開として,一層の効果的な情報提供を図るため,携帯電話のPDA化とユーザビリティの向上を検討する.

A Study of Farmer's Physical Burden for Harvesting Rice in Middle Mountainous Area

0 ( 66 ) 61 - 71 2011

　View Summary

Autumn in Japan is the season of harvesting rice, the Japanese staple food. Large scale farmers can use the large harvesting machines. However, small scale farmer's fields are often too small to use the machine. Thus they have to work with their hands. One of the hardest operations is procedure of drying rice on the rack, because they have to repeat manual labor so many times that they become exhausted . The purpose of this study is development of low burden method of drying rice procedure. Through the observations and interview, two kinds of measures are found out. One is reduction of physical movement by using some tools such as standing-chair and wheelbarrow to remove vertical motion of up and down. Another is the system to gather volunteers from the young ages to the elderly ages.

A study of effect of walking pole on the walking exercise

( 65 ) 75 - 80 2010.12

　View Summary

So-called metabolic syndrome is one of the medical problems in our country, because many of people have difficulty at lack of exercises. Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare suggest healthy life by exercise and moderate foods. Walking is one of the effective exercises to keep health in everyday life. Walking with poles, the exercise method of cross country skiing, is noticed as the effective exercise nowadays. Some studies show the effect of the pole walking exercise from view points of circulation, medical rehabilitation, and so on. In this study, we investigate the effect from view points of muscle load and balance keeping function. Experiment of comparing the normal walking and the pole walking has shown the effect of fitness, comfort, and safety.

　View Summary

One of the farmer's problems in depopulated area is lack of human power to keep agriculture business. Agricultural volunteer is considered as one of the solutions of the problems in farm areas. The purpose of this study is investigation of introduction of farm volunteer by senior generation in town area. The result has shown that the senior generation in town areas is going to join the agriculture for some purposes. One is to exercise for their health. Others are getting fresh and safe foods, studying of agriculture, contribution for other people, stopping the increase of wasteland, and so on. In addition, the result has also shown that the volunteer's requirements are time, close places and transports. Some of the volunteers require some consideration to their labor. Thus the matching system of farmers and volunteers is needed to build the relation among them.

Proceedings of the ... Symposium on Human-Environment System 34 203 - 204 2010

　View Summary

The goal of this study was to evaluate the physiological responses during field tests(FT)in between nordic walking (NW)and normal walking (W). Two healthy middle-aged men and four healthy women participated in this FT experiments. Heart rate (HR)and Electromyogram(EMG)were monitored continuously by portable data logger device. The disciplines showed differences during all trials in integrated EMG value between NW and W The maximum increasing value was measured at upper limb muscles. In accordance with HR, was higher in NW compared with W during all stages. While there were higher HR for NW and W There were no differences for the HR: Our results demonstrate that metabolic responses are a helpful instrument to assess the intensity during bipedal exercise. As NW EMG activity is higher than in W test measures i upper limb and partly lower limb. These data was showed it's suitable for NW training recommendations.

Young chi ldren need wel balanced breakfast, with staple food, main dish, side dish for the physical and mental development. Previous study has shown that young children have habit to take breakfast， however the combination of menu have to be improved. In this study, we investigates young children's breakfast tendency mainly from view point of the life rhythm, lifestyle patterns and appetite. The purpose of this study is to clear the cause of the difference of combination of the menu. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 118 subjects in 2 nursery schools in Nagano city, whose age are about 3-6 years old. The results has shown that the time from getting up to going out of A group was longer than B group. Number of dish of breakfast for children of A group is enough to get well balanced meal, however B group was not. From this point of view, the cause of the difference of combination of the menu is time in the morning. In addition, 44% children have habit to watch TV during dinner. There was little difference between both groups about appetite on breakfast. 30 Children reported a poor appetite at breakfast. Those children with such a poor appetite tended to sleep later than the other children. 16 children who get just a poor appetite at dinner also demonstrated a poor appetite at breakfast.

　View Summary

Introduction of volunteer into agriculture cannot less as ooe of the method to support farmers who have few workers because of aging in the mountainous area. Sometimes government in the area can secure people for the farmers who need man power. On the other hand, people who want to help farmers may need concrete information such as transportation to the farm area, detail of the job, equipments, job fee, and the farmers personal information, and so on.If there is chance, many university students want to participate in the agriculture experience program. Most of them had done some farm job in junior school. In fact, the farm job in warm and humid weather makes them tired, however many students think about the farm job positively. Activation of agriculture will be possible if we can place them to the farm area. In this study, we investigate the farmers' requirement and the students' one to the agricultural experience program. Matching of both of them will be one of the condition to establish the man power secure system.

Characteristics of input devices for remote pointing manipulation : comparison of target chasing movement by gyro mouse and ordinary mouse

63 ( 63 ) 39 - 44 2008.12

　View Summary

Pointing task is one of the most frequent one in VDT job. Many computers have not only mouse device, but also touch pad, trackball, infrared rays, and gyro sensors. It is not easy for the users to manipulate usual mouse from remote position without any tables or desks to fix the device. Thus they use remote controller which has some sensors from distant place. In this study, we investigated the difference of performance among usual mouse, touch pad, and gyro sensor device. As the result, it was cleared that Fitt's Law can be applied to the remote pointing task. Especially, influence of the size of target for the remote control is larger than the usual mouse. The ratio of distance and size of target should be approximately 8.6 to enclose the gyro device performance to the usual mouse.

The difference in the image of the city dweller about the agriculture and elderly people of a depopulated area, and a local citizen

63 ( 63 ) 45 - 52 2008.12

　View Summary

The method of getting food is different in urban and rural areas. In urban area, the method is limited although rural areas are close to a locality. Requests for food differ between them. The price is important for both of them. In addition, freshness, an expiration date, a security, convenience, etc. are required. Many of those who live in rural areas are related to an agricultural, or their respect is high. Since a familiar household is concerned with an agricultural in many cases; they experienced agricultural, or they work for the company relevant to an agricultural. In this study, the image to the agricultural, the depopulation, and the elderly was investigated to those who live in urban area, and those who live in rural areas. Those who live in urban area tend to have an impression "poor" and "severe" about depopulation. They tend to have an impression of a "passive" and "plainness" about an elderly and an agricultural. Those who live in rural areas tend to have an impression "favorable" and "beautiful." The depopulation and the elderly are familiar for those who live in rural areas. The image will become good if the exchange with farmhouses increase.

　View Summary

Most of computer applications have been ever developed by increasing their functions with graphical user interface. Especially Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh have good interface with pointing device. This progress can be done by speed up of CPU and cost down of hardware. However, not all the user can use all the current functions in computer applications because they do not need too many functions for their jobs. In addition, complicated functions in GUI make the novice users embarrassed even when they just make a simple document. In this study, we have a point of view to pick up some necessary functions for the novice users to develop simple user interface. Investigation to 150 users shows that there are some differences about way of using computer between novice users and exparts. The result of this study can be applied to minimizing function of computer to make the novice users feel easy to use.

Journal of Nagano Prefectural College 62 ( 62 ) 53 - 64 2007

　View Summary

Aging of farmers in Japan have increased abandoned field and food selfsufficiency ratio has decreased. Thus, agricultural machines are necessary for the elderly farmers because of the decline of their physical strength and muscular power. At the same time the machines should keep their safety. One of them, the bush cutter can remove weeds in the field, however it can sometimes injure the farmers by the rotary blade. In addition, it is dangerous to work at the sloping ground in mountainous area because the farmers might fall by slipping on the weeds. Nevertheless some farmers do not wear safety equipments such as the protectors and the eye guard during the job. Burden of most farmers in the middle mountainous area is not small because of shortage of man power and they cannot keep their successor. Thus they have made their farm rough against their will. This study verified the necessity of safety provision and conditions for elderly people and shows the necessity of human support for the elderly farmers.

　View Summary

Many of elderly people are not good at operation of PC with mouse and keyboard, because they need more time to experience to get enough skill. Through the observation to them in PC school, their characteristics are different from the younger people's movements. In this study, the difference of mouse operation between elderly people and younger people became clear by measurement of mouse movement. Mouse rotation in the horizontal pointing operation can make some difference among them. The volume of acceleration to the target would be the cause of the difference. From the result, we can find out the needs for development of mouse movement system which consider the elderly people's operation characteristics.

　View Summary

For application of Information Communication Technology to the elderly people in depopulated area, they need human support to continue their utilization for everyday life. Through three years of PC school for elderly people in Nakajo village, Nagano, the students have capacity to use PC, however, small trouble would be able to disturb their continuation. Though they have chance to ask question to supporters by telephone, facsimile, and E-mail, they do not do that because of two reasons. First, they cannot explain detail of their troublesome. Second, they hesitate to ask because they think supporters are too busy to help them. Thus, we prepare Web camera system for an elderly woman as support which can be used and could find out some possibility to use the camera for support. In addition, we can find that not only everyday jobs but also entertainments material would be able to become motivation for the elderly people. Such action will help build information-oriented society in depopulated area.

　View Summary

In this study, we held the computer literacy lessons for elderly people in Nakajo village, Nagano, following the past study of PC usability for the aged. We prepared PC room and support staff for them. Average age of the students was a little younger than the first time. And some of students have used Word Processor before. Thus, they told after the lesson that their past experience influenced to their evaluation of PC usability. It also became clear that they need clear purpose to use PC and troubleshooter to continue using PC at home. When they do not have both or one of them, they would not continue to use PC after the lesson. In other words, they need reason to use computer for everyday life, not only for learning skill to use PC. Additional investigation to the entire household in the village conducted in parallel showed that number of PC owners in the village is partial. Some of owners often use PC to collect local information by the Internet. Thus, using computer network can become the method to share the village local information. We can suggest the next three points of view for applying IT into village in Aging as the conclusion. 1) Increasing infrastructure and number of PC is needed as a backbone in the local area. 2) Elderly people need their own curriculum to learn the computer literacy, not same as younger people. 3) Clear purpose and local support for the elderly people are needed to continue using PC at home.

　View Summary

In the aged society, numbers of problems with elderly people are going to increase because of decline of physical and psychological function. In fact, many of elderly people feel anxiety with everyday life both of inside and outside of their home. However, some of retired people would like to enjoy their aged life in various ways and the government also has planned to support their life. One of them is practical use of IT(Information Technology). But many people think that elderly people cannot use IT devices very well because of not only difficulty of PC but also decline of the elderly peoples' physical function. In this study, we are going to lecture the way of use PC for elderly people in Nakajo village, Nagano prefecture. After the lecture, 7 persons in the 8 elderly people are eager to continue using PC in their own house. Thus, it was cleared that we need continuous supports and improving unique user interface for elderly people to continue using IT devices.

One of the most popular recreations in winter is snowboard; however, there are some dangers to enjoy the exciting sports in Winter Mountain. KATO(2002) investigated snowboarders' awareness to hazardous situation in skiing resort and showed many of them think that one of the hazardous places for snowboarders is place to getting down from the lift chair. In this study, were corded motions of getting down from lift chair by series of video at lizuna Resort in 2003. Many of incidents at the place were occurred by cross of two snowboarders' different direction after getting down from lift chair. Researchers prepared guideline under the snow to lead them to safety zone as improvement method. As the result, reduction of hazardous situation was observed. We need objective study to many of recreation to reduce potential dangers in resort.

　View Summary

In aged society, new insurance system has been introduced in Japan since April 2000, as an economical support to lighten burdens of the care job for the elderly. Additionally, we will have to support in-home care workers and families physically and mentally because demands for the care will increase in the future. There were some researches about the standardization of the care work to increase the efficiency of welfare. Furthermore, if welfare information can be carried to in-home care worker more easily, the improvement and standardization of the service will be able to advance. In this research, end users of the information devices evaluate demand level for some kinds of welfare information. Covariance structure of end users' demands for welfare information could be extracted as a result of the investigation. And, when it was compared with one of students, it was found out that the covariance structures varied according to the purpose when they use the information. The result would be useful for building of interface that is easy to use for them, and building a simple and effective database system.

　View Summary

An accident sometimes happens to the recreation as same as the daily life. One of the causes of the accident is thought to be insufficient danger awareness. It is necessary to have correct knowledge about the accident for prevention. In this research, Investigation was conducted to skiers and snowboarders in the skiing area. It was found out that the frequency of collisions on the course was the highest as a result of the investigation. There were many people who felt danger with falling at getting off a lift and with collision on the course. Comparing with experts and novices, averages feel little danger with the collision. We can make three proposals for prevention based on this research. First, we need to indicate the characteristics of the recreation. Second, we need feedback of the analysis of accidents. And last, all of people need to have continuous prevention awareness.

Most of residential spaces are not arranged for elderly people who have some disorder to live independently. Therefore, they have to employee the home-helpers to care themselves. Unfortunately, most of the Japanese residents are not suitable for the home-helpers to care, especially at bathroom. In this paper, a survey to the Japanese home-helpers was conducted to investigate the subjective suitable size of lavatory and bathroom. It comes to be clear from the result that the ratio of elderly people's ergonomic data affects on the home-helpers' evaluation. We have to consider of the measurements of elderly people when we construct the lavatory and bathroom.

　View Summary

In this study, changes of the pressure distribution of a chair used at work was measured with a pressure measurement system. The pressure distribution was divided into three sections: the large thigh, the buttock, and the dorsal section, and each section was changed into a power-spectrum of a time series. We compared the inclination of the recurrence of the straight line of the power spectrum and the frequency with ‘1/f Swinging’ which shows the degree of comfortableness. The subjects are 8 university students. They performed word-processing input work for 45 minutes, after which, they subjectively evaluated the chair. We measured the pressure distribution at every second. The results were as follows: The pressure distribution showed a changed random time series pattern. Therefore, a static evaluation index is unreliable; and the recurrence analysis was done between the each power spectrum and the frequency. We compared the regression line with ‘1/f Swinging’. Concerning the large thigh and the buttock, the correlation coefficient between the subjective evaluation and the variable coefficient of the regression line was low. However, we obtained an extremely high correlation between the regression line and the subjective evaluation for the dorsal section.

　View Summary

A camera, while it is being used, is constantly subjectd to vibration by its users. That vibration, the subject of this paper, was studied in two experiments. One was the measurement of the bias size of a target in a picture. Three types of cameras were used in this experiment. The pictures taken by subjects had a target image. They were measured for bias by normal-photography and by timer-photography. The other was an analysis of oscillation sampled from the cameras. Two types of cameras were used in this experiment. Each of the cameras had three dimensional accelerometers on top of it and a manometer on its shutter button. When a subject pushes the manometer to take a picture, the oscillations were determined by the accelerometers.<br>From these experiments, two causes of camera vibration may be distinguished, as follows: One is camera vibration caused by microvibration on the surface of the subject's hands and physiological tremor on forearm. This oscillation is about 4.0Hz. The other is caused by the subject's pushing action against the shutter button. This oscillation is about 2.0Hz. This kind of vibration occurs because the user's pressure on the shutter button is too strong to keep the camera fixed. The results show that most of the vibration of cameras is caused by manipulation against the camera.

交通弱者の優先性を実質化するトラフィックヒエラルキーにかかる研究

2023

　View Summary

混合交通の発生する道路上において，歩行者，自転車，自動車どうしの交通事故が発生する危険があることから，いわゆる交通弱者（歩行者，自転車）の安全のため，優先性の確保が求められており，諸外国では法律または慣習によって一定の優先性が確保されている．この優先性をトラフィックヒエラルキーといい，我が国では道交法38 条に規定されている．日本自動車連盟が2016年より継続している，無信号横断歩道における歩行者の優先にかかる調査で，歩行者の横断に対して一時停止する車両は１割程度だったが，2023年には4割以上にまで改善されてきたことがわかっている．　本研究課題では自動車と交通弱者の立場から横断歩道における進行または横断の判断に影響をおよぼす要因についてとりあげ，そのうち交通弱者としての自転車の走行における車両との関連性について検討した．実験の結果自転車による危険運転として車両と路側帯との間のすり抜け行動における特性として，自転車の幅と通過する間隙との間に一定の比率が認められたことから，接触を回避するための自転車側ならびに自動車側のリスク評価にかかる基礎資料を構築した．左側通行が義務づけられている自転車の直進を妨げる駐車車両があった場合の回避行動の前提として必要となる自転車の後方確認動作の実験的な評価を実施し，目視確認とともにミラーによる後方確認の有効性を示すとともに，自転車の挙動特性を定量的に示したことで，自動車側から見た前方左側を走行する自転車の回避運動特性を示すことで，ドライバの危険予測に寄与する基礎的な資料が構築された．

　View Summary

横断歩道におけるドライバーと歩行者の判断にかかるWeb調査を実施した．その結果，歩行者の立つ位置と人数によりドライバーが歩行者を優先する確率に差が生じることがわかった．すなわち自車に対して対向車線側に立つ場合と左右に立つ場合は一時停止の割合が低下し，徐行の割合が増えた．自車前後に車両がいる場合は単独走行と比べて一時停止の割合が低下し，徐行の割合が増えた．歩行者が横断判断に対して接近する車両の距離の把握が横断決定に影響する．車両の左右からの接近方向の差は小さいが複数台の接近時は横断しない割合が増えた．また車両停止時の歩行者横断ではドライバーに対して会釈，挙手などの意思表示が認められた．

自転車は，自動車に対しては交通弱者であるが，歩行者に対しては交通強者であるため，大学生を実験参加者として自転車シミュレータ運転を行った．特に外部刺激に対する認知能力が低下する高齢者が歩行者や障害物に対して示す挙動を計測するために，高齢者を模した身体機能および認知機能を制限する装具を装着した状態で自転車を運転し，特に安全確認に要する時間が長くなることが明らかになった．また交通法規の法律遵守にかかる国際比較に関連して，歩行者優先を含む各国の道路標識に対する知識の有無について予備的な調査を行い，一定の標識については認識の過誤が認められたことから，改善または教育を要することが明らかになった．

日本自動車連盟が2016年以降実施している、信号機のない横断歩道における歩行者の優先にかかる運転行動調査では、道交法の規定を約9割のドライバーが無視している。交通弱者優先を前提とする交通の強弱関係の曖昧さが背景にあると仮定し、欧米で用いられるトラフィックヒエラルキーの導入を目的とした研究を実施している。歩行者優先の規定について知識を有するドライバーを対象に、信号機のない横断歩道を有する直線道路を模したドライブシミュレータ上の走行実験を行った結果、歩行者の待機位置の運転行動に対する影響が示された。これを踏まえ歩行者に対するドライバーの視線移動と実車乗車時の運転行動の観察を実施するに至っている。

　無信号横断歩道通過時のドライバーの運転行動に着目し,要因をSHEL モデルに当て嵌め,無信号横断歩道における歩行者優先の原則に対するドライバーの運転行動を定量的に示す研究を実施した．その結果，交差点構􏰀は譲る割合について有意差が示された.また天候条件と時間条件は運転行動に影響を与えていた一方で,譲る割合に影響がなかった.視認性の低下は構􏰀による影響が大きい．譲る割合に影響がない一方で,運転行動に影響を与えていた．大学生被験者と教官被験者の間で譲る割合に差が認められた．ブレーキ回数について大学生間では有意差が認められた一方,教官被験者には差がないなど,教官被験者は無信号交差点でも停止行動に一定の安定性があると考えられる.

昨今の高齢化により，特に中山間地などの過疎地域では高齢者のみの世帯や独居高齢者の割合が増加しており，日常生活における事故や疾患が懸念される．一方，子ども世帯等の同居は経済的理由等により困難であることから，遠隔の家族が建具と家具の使用状況を加速度センサによりモニタリングするシステムを構築する研究を行った．当該年度は既存データと新規データを合わせた年間活動記録を分析することで突発的自体の抽出アルゴリズムを構築した．また従来用いた有線のひずみゲージによるセンサから無線方式の簡易なセンサとPCに切り替え，その有効性を検討した結果，従来比で1/4程度の低コスト化とシステムの占有空間の削減を可能にした．
独居高齢者の生活状況を評価する機能を有する住居構造に関する研究

2013

　View Summary

　遠隔地に居住する家族の生活状況をモニタリングは高齢社会においてニーズが高い．本研究では，日常生活のリズムを定量化する手法を構築することを目的とする研究を行った．長野市西部の中条地区の農家の協力を得て，特に住居の建具および家具に着目し，外出時に使用する頻度が高い縁側の出入り口と，冷蔵庫の扉に加速度計をとりつけた．2013年9月より2014年2月まで継続的に測定を行い，その変動波形に対する解析を行った．　出入り口の測定では，人の移動が多いことから，開閉動作だけでなく，人の通過により生じる振動も敏感に反応するため，活動量を評価するのに適している．ただ9月頃の暑い時期と1月,2月等の寒い時期とでは扉の開閉頻度が異なる．冷房設備がないことから，夏季は出入り口の扉は開けたままにされ，冬季は出入りするたびに開閉を伴うことから，日常生活の季節間変動があると推察される．また，居住者や来客等の区別は困難であるが，活動があること自体が日常的なことであり，これを定量的に示すことが可能となった．一方で午前0時近辺より朝4時くらいまでは振動が計測されず，睡眠時間帯であると推察できる．　家具として用いた冷蔵庫の扉については，6時前後，12時前後，19時前後に振動発生頻度が高い．これはつまり食事の時間帯にほぼ恒常的に冷蔵庫を用いていることを示している．出入り口の場合が比較的ランダムな人の出入りを測定しているのに対して，冷蔵庫の場合は夫婦のうち，妻の側が使用する頻度が高く，その日常的な使用状況から，特定の対象者の日常生活のリズムを示す指標として有効であることが示された。この点からは，居住者が複数名いる場合，個別の生活状況を評価するためには，居住者個人の行動特性を明確化させることが望ましい．　今後，継続的な測定により年間を通じた特性の抽出をすることで，通年で用いることができる，定量的な日常生活リズムの評価ができると思われる．
