| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In individuals with motor disabilities such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive speech impairment necessitates the use of an assistive communication aid. However, these individuals also need accessibility equipment to use these aids. Because they have limited control over body movement, we have been investigating the utility of the EOG as a means of accessibility and previously reported a technique to identify voluntary eye blink on the EOG. We propose a scanning input method using one switch as a communication control device using EOG. However, with the scanning input method, it takes time to complete a sentence, and there is a tendency to intentionally shorten the sentence, for example. In addition, studies using a coding input method based on multiple input operations have not been made, and this research was conducted with the aim of proposing a coding input method.
