Abstract

In recent years, the scope of users receiving information from information systems has been increasing. However, the timing of interruption is not controlled in most of these systems. In this paper, we propose a secretary agent to mediate interactions between users and others. The agent estimates user interruptibility from PC operation records and head motions. Moreover, the agent requests interaction from others by controlling the avatar's gaze, joint attention, and mutual gaze on the basis of the interruptibility. We confirmed the usefulness of the mediation based on the estimation of user interruptibility.
