| Research Abstract |
This project is aimed to construct the database of characteristic behavior of elderly IT users, utilizing the collected field data of the HQL. The database is expected to accelerate the development of IT equipment suitable for the elderly. In general, it is said that the elderly supplements the decrease in the acknowledgment ability with the current experience, and can achieve the problem. Then, we try to clarify the difference of characteristics of IT devices according to attributes other than the age.
The database system that was able to retrieve 15 experiment results to the same Monitor by various attributes was constructed.
We stored it in the data base system of 15 experimental data.
We made the user a pattern by the literacy to small number of IT devices, and we clarified the difference between groups for the attention power and the memory, and designed the design manual to each group.
