Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is designing a framework that can realize “Sassuru computer”. “Sassuru” is a Japanese word, which mainly means predicting. However, it includes the meaning of sympathy, too. So, “Sassuru computer” is defined as a computer that can guess, perceive and sympathize with us. In order to realize such a computer, this research conducted the following; analysis of brain waves by using simple electroencephalograph; recognizing user condition by using heart beat and perspiration sensors; detecting actions by using acceleration sensors; and predicting behavior from life log data.　As a result, this research made it clear that tension, concentration and fatigue, which are the type of non-intentional human conditions, could be detected, and human behavior and intention could be predicted by analyzing human action and behavior.
