为了减少远程办公人员在集中精力工作时的分心，本研究探讨了估计PC用户注意力水平的可行性。特别是，它侧重于假名-汉字转换确认时间。假名-汉字转换是一种流行的日语输入法，它要求用户确认转换后的汉字字符是否正确。由于已知分布式认知会增加反应时间，因此预期确认时间会受到分配给文本输入任务的认知资源的影响，即手头任务的集中程度。我们进行了一系列实验，有六名参与者。我们指导他们通过打字复制假名文本，同时将给定的假名文本转换为汉字。我们设定了三个条件：专注、双重任务和分心。在双任务条件下，我们给参与者一个指令，让他们在听新闻的同时，数出新闻中提到的地名，同时执行主要的打字任务。在午餐和轻度体育锻炼后进行的最终实验中使用分心条件以诱导疲劳和困倦。结果表明，当用户由于子任务或其他干扰而不太专注于任务时，假名-汉字转换确认时间在统计上会增加。
Aiming at reducing distractions of remote office workers while they are concentrating on their work, this study discusses the feasibility of estimating the concentration level of PC users. In particular, it focuses on the kana-kanji conversion confirmation time. Kana-kanji conversion, which is popular input method for Japanese, requires users to confirm that the converted kanji characters are correct. Since distributed cognition is known to increase reaction time, the confirmation time is expected to be affected by the cognitive resource allocated to the text-input task, i.e. the level of concentration on the task at hand. We conducted a set of experiments with six participants. We instructed them to copy kana text by typing and concurrently convert the given kana text into kanji. We set three conditions; Concentration, Dual-task, and Distraction. In the Dual-task condition, we gave an instruction to the participants to listen to the news and count the names of places mentioned in it while performing the main typing task. The Distraction condition was used in the final experiments that were conducted after lunch and light physical exercise for inducing fatigue and drowsiness. The results suggested that the kana-kanji conversion confirmation time statistically increases when a user is less concentrated on a task because of a subtask or some other distraction.
