HCI (8) - Basic experimental verification of grasping Information Interface concept, grasping force increases in precise periods
Human Interface and the Management of Information. Methods Techniques and Tools in Information Design, 2007Co-Authors: S. Sato, Muneo Kitajima, Yukio FukuiAbstract:In human-human communications, especially in face-to-face communication, sub-verbal and non-verbal messages have more importance than messages transported by words. On the other hand, in traditional manmachine Interfaces, machines only understand pre-defined operations, and never understand operators' sub-verbal and non-verbal messages. This causes some usability problems in machine operations. We have proposed elsewhere that Grasping Information Interface Concept (GIIC) is the key idea to alleviate the above-mentioned communication gap between man and machine, and this paper verifies GIIC experimentally. GIIC regards grasping-and-moving as a fundamental hand operation necessary for performing tasks using modern manmachine Interfaces, and behavioral measures associated with grasping, such as force, posture, etc., should have much potential in developing task-adaptive and operator-adaptive Interfaces because it is known that how people grasp devices is dependent on the purpose of these tasks. GIIC provides machines with a communication channel to understand operators' intents more through the grasping Information.

ICRA - A concept of grasping Information Interface for remote pointing task
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004Co-Authors: S. Sato, Muneo Kitajima, Yukio FukuiAbstract:In human-human communications, especially in face-to-face communication, sub-verbal and non-verbal messages have more importance than messages transported by words in communications. On the other hand, in traditional man-machine Interfaces, machines only understand pre-defined operations, and never understand operators' sub-verbal and non-verbal messages. This causes some difficulty of machine usability. Grasping-and-moving are fundamental hand operations necessary for performing tasks using modern man-machine Interfaces. However, behavioral Information associated with grasping, such as force, posture, etc., has not been utilized for traditional Interfaces. Although behavioral Information should have potential utility in developing task-adaptive and operator-adaptive Interfaces; it is known that how people grasp devices is dependent on the purpose of these tasks. As an example of typical pointing devices, This work describes a computer mouse whose approaching speed, or gain, is adjusted depending on the nature of the task. This work suggests that the grasping-and-moving tasks should consist of two phases. The first or approaching phase is when the operator moves the mouse pointer close to the target with a small grasping force. The second or positioning phase follows when the operator makes a fine adjustment of the pointer to locate it within the target area using a larger grasping force. This proposed new computer mouse has a sensor to detect the operator's grasping force and uses it to control the gain of the mouse. Two sets of experiments were conducted; one for confirming the assumption that the grasping force should be small while approaching the target and large while positioning, and the other for confirming that the proposed mouse should be effective in reducing the time necessary for pointing various kinds of objects.

The Role of Language in Human Information Interaction: A Social Semiotic View
2018Co-Authors: Yinshan TangAbstract:Human Information interaction is a dynamic and complex process and is affected by various factors including social and cognitive factors. This study provides a new approach to study human Information interaction from a social semiotic perspective and views human Information interaction as a social semiotic process. Language, as a most important Information carrier, is viewed as a social semiotic system and plays a key role in human Information interaction. It not only carries and stores Information, but also construes Information. This study analyzes the role of language in human Information interaction by exploring human judgment in native language and foreign language, which implies that language affects human judgement and thinking that conducts human Information activities. The effect depends on the natural logic which limits the meaning-making process of language. Language, to an extent, affects the meaning creation at Information Interface through which human interact with Information content and process Information.

A Wirelessly Powered UWB RFID Sensor Tag With Time-Domain Analog-to-Information Interface
IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, 2018Co-Authors: Dongxuan Bao, Zhuo Zou, Majid Baghaei Nejad, Yajie Qin, Li-rong ZhengAbstract:This paper presents a wirelessly powered radio frequency identification sensor tag with an analog-to-Information Interface. A time-domain Interface, incorporating an ultra-low-power impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter (TX), is employed. The analog signal from the sensor is compared with a triangular waveform, resulting in a pulse-position modulation signal to trigger UWB pulses. Thanks to the high time-resolution IR-UWB radio, time intervals of the impulses can be used to represent the original input value, which is measured remotely on the reader side by a time-of-arrival estimator. This approach not only eliminates the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) but also significantly reduces the number of bits to be transmitted for power saving. The proposed tag is fabricated in a 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ CMOS process with an active area of 2.5 mm2. The measurement results demonstrate that a 300-kS/s sampling rate with a 6.7-bit effective number of bits (ENOB) is obtained via a UWB receiver with a sensitivity of −93 dBm and an integration window of 10 ns. The ENOB is improved to 7.3 bits when the integration window is reduced to 2 ns. The tag can be powered up by a −18-dBm UHF input signal. The power consumption of the proposed tag is 41.5 $\mu \text{W}$ yielding a 1.3-pJ/conv.step figure of merit, offering 9 $\times $ and 67 $\times $ improvements compared with the state of the art based on an ADC and a backscattering TX, and the tag based on an ADC and a narrowband TX, respectively.

On the medical informatics structure.
International Journal of Medical Informatics, 1997Co-Authors: Jana ZvárováAbstract:Abstract This paper contributes to the discussion of R. Haux paper on essential aims and tasks of medical informatics. New views on structure of informatics and consequently medical informatics are given. Information is introduced as outside and inside Information. Inside Information is divided into three different types as data, evidence and knowledge. This terminology slightly differs from the commonly used terminology data, Information and knowledge. Based on understanding of Information as outside and inside Information the field of informatics is divided into four rings, namely Information Basic Ring. Information Methodology Ring, Information Interface Ring and Information Technology Ring. Medical informatics is defined and its structure explained using four Information rings. These views on informatics and medical informatics open possibilities to see more clearly where are the essential aims and tasks of medical informatics.
