Examining the Qualitative Gains of Mediating Human Interruptions during HCI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent trends in software development directed toward intelligence, distribution, and mobility have brought sophisticated software artifacts that often come with some unwanted side effects; frequent interruptions, for instance. In general, people are less effective when exposed to interruptions. We have created a framework that helps in selecting the most appropriate timing for interruption as a way to mediate human interruptions by the computer. The proposed framework is based on a new Interruption Taxonomy and uses Bayesian Belief Networks for selecting the best timing when mediating interruptions. An empirical study was conducted to empirically measure the qualitative gains of mediating interruptions compared to condition with no interruption control i.e., interruptions were presented immediately at random-generated points. The experimental results suggest that mediated coordination of interruption was effective in decreasing some disruptive effects of interruptions on a socioemotional level, such as: the feelings of frustration, distraction, annoyance and workload.

Empirical Validation of a Computer-Mediated Coordination of Interruption
User’s cognitive state is extremely fragile and sensitive to external interruption, especially when a user is performing a cognitively-taxing task. Given that interruptions frequently occur during human-computer interaction, and given the relative scarcity of human attention and their vulnerability to interruptions, interruption-resistance is needed to be considered when designing user interfac...

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...

In this paper, we outline our research into the appropriate timing of robot interruptions of humans. This research is motivated by the rising popularity of collocated human robot task execution and the resulting need for robots to be mindful of human cognitive limitations. We draw inspiration from existing work in Psychology, Human Factors Research, HCI, Ubiquitous Computing, and build upon pre...

متن کاملPrivacy and Interruptions in Team Awareness Systems
Several evaluations of team awareness systems showed, that interruptions and privacy violations during usage often lead to the rejection of the system by users. Most authors argue, that this rejection is due to a fundamental dual trade-off between sending awareness information and privacy, and between receiving awareness information and disruption or resource consumption. While the assumption o...
