Abstract
This paper describes a mechanism of operation monitoring to combat user fatigue in controlling a PC through a mobile touch-type device. This mechanism enables to enhance the capability of the user interface system, named T4, which allows motor-impaired persons to use any application without burden of using a keyboard/mouse, by minimizing eye-movements to confirm operation results on the PC. To minimize eye-movements, the enhanced T4 on the mobile touch-type device displays just the appropriate image fragment of any application window on a PC according to operations, e.g., text entry, Kanji conversion, or mouse click/drag. The effectiveness of the mechanism was revealed in the preliminary experiment simulating daily tasks on a PC for university students. Due to its usefulness, the eye-movements were hardly occurred during tasks completion even though each subject made many eye-movements into the PC display when they used a keyboard/mouse.
