记忆是支持生命活动的关键人类设施，包括社会交往，生活管理和解决问题。不幸的是，我们的记忆并不完美。正常人偶尔会有记忆问题，这可能会令人沮丧，而那些记忆障碍的人往往会经历生活质量的大幅下降。增强记忆有可能使正常人更有效率，而那些有严重记忆问题的人则有更高的生活质量。目前的技术可以自动捕获和存储长期的日常生活经验，甚至可能是一生的经验。这种类型的数据收集通常被称为个人生活日志（PLL），可以包括诸如从第一人称视角连续捕获的图片或视频、诸如书籍的档案材料的扫描副本、读取或创建的电子文档、发送和接收的电子邮件和SMS消息的数据，沿着捕获和访问时间的上下文数据以及经由GPS传感器的位置。PLL提供了内存扩充的潜力。现有的关于PLL的工作主要集中在数据捕获和检索技术上，但很少有人探索如何将这些捕获的数据和检索技术应用于普通人的实际使用以支持他们的记忆。在本文中，我们探讨的需求，从正常人的基础上，心理学文献的记忆问题的机制增强人类的记忆，并讨论可能的功能，PLL可以提供支持这些记忆增强的需求。在此基础上，我们还提出了数据捕获，检索需求和基于计算机的界面设计的指导方针。最后，我们介绍了我们的工作过程中的原型锁相环搜索系统在iCLIPS项目中给出一个例子，增加人类的记忆与锁相环和计算机为基础的接口。
Memory is a key human facility to support life activities, including social interactions, life management and problem solving. Unfortunately, our memory is not perfect. Normal individuals will have occasional memory problems which can be frustrating, while those with memory impairments can often experience a greatly reduced quality of life. Augmenting memory has the potential to make normal individuals more effective, and those with significant memory problems to have a higher general quality of life. Current technologies are now making it possible to automatically capture and store daily life experiences over an extended period, potentially even over a lifetime. This type of data collection, often referred to as a personal life log (PLL), can include data such as continuously captured pictures or videos from a first person perspective, scanned copies of archival material such as books, electronic documents read or created, and emails and SMS messages sent and received, along with context data of time of capture and access and location via GPS sensors. PLLs offer the potential for memory augmentation. Existing work on PLLs has focused on the technologies of data capture and retrieval, but little work has been done to explore how these captured data and retrieval techniques can be applied to actual use by normal people in supporting their memory. In this paper, we explore the needs for augmenting human memory from normal people based on the psychology literature on mechanisms about memory problems, and discuss the possible functions that PLLs can provide to support these memory augmentation needs. Based on this, we also suggest guidelines for data for capture, retrieval needs and computer-based interface design. Finally we introduce our work-in-process prototype PLL search system in the iCLIPS project to give an example of augmenting human memory with PLLs and computer based interfaces.
