Abstract

The current users of real-time online communication tools have a problem in recognizing the status of interaction partners. Therefore, the start of dialogue has a risk of unintended interruption of the partner. To overcome the problem, we focused on application-switching (AS) as a potential intelligent activity discontinuity for uninterruptibility estimation. The preliminary experiments revealed the uninterruptibility reduction effect of AS. Therefore, we developed an online communication system which allows users to naturally recognize the uninterruptibility of interaction partners, by estimating uninterruptibility using AS, keystroke, mouse click and presenting uninterruptibility as avatar posture and motion.
