Abstract
本稿では,ユーザの作業支援を目的として,ユーザが行うべき作業(タスク)が先にあり,タスクの実行に必要な機器をユーザ端末が周辺で検索・発見したときに,ユーザ端末がそれらの機器と連携しながらタスクを実行する,タスク駆動型機器連携システムを提案する.タスクには優先度が付与され,優先度に基づくタスクの割込/再開制御を可能にすることで,ユーザが実行すべきタスクの的確な選択と中断されたタスクのし忘れを防止する.例として家電量販店の店員の作業支援を想定したシステムを試作し,そのユーザビリティを評価するために定量評価を行った.その結果,タスク制御負荷が高い状況でのタスク制御,および機器連携を円滑に行うことができ,十分実用的であることを確認した.
In this paper, we propose task driven device orchestration system which enables user task support by carrying out pre-defined user tasks by orchestrating user terminal and its surrounding devices. Before starting a task, user terminal searches devices which are required for task execution and the task is started when they are discovered. Each task has its own priority, and the proposed system support users' task selection and resumption by controlling user tasks based on their priorities. We developed prototype system for supporting electronics retail store staff as an example, and evaluated its usability. We confirmed that it was practicable since the task control under a heavy load condition and the device orchestration were smoothly executed.
