智能手机在各种情况下都是有益的，例如搜索信息、拍照、听音乐和社交。然而，与智能手机过度使用相关的各种问题也出现了。这项研究提出了一个系统，鼓励用户不要过度使用他们的智能手机，而不强行限制他们的行为与使用限制和警告。所提出的系统通过安装在用户的智能手机中的拟人角色通知用户，该拟人角色发送消息以阻止过度使用智能手机。为了给角色注入个性，鼓励适度使用智能手机的消息辅之以对情况的同情、对其他行动的建议、对过度使用的谴责以及关于角色本身的话语。该系统进行了实验评估25名大学生。结果表明，通过拟人角色的消息通知可以提高用户减少使用智能手机的动机。
Smartphones are beneficial in various situations, such as searching for information, taking photographs, listening to music, and socializing. However, various problems related to smartphone overuse have also emerged. This study proposes a system that encourages users not to overuse their smartphones without forcibly restraining their behavior with usage restrictions and warnings. The proposed system notifies the user through an anthropomorphic character installed in the user’s smartphone, which sends messages to discourage excessive use of the smartphone. To imbue the character with personality, messages which encourage moderate use of the smartphone are complemented with messages of sympathy for the situation, suggestions for other actions, reprimands for overuse, and utterances about the character itself. The system was experimentally evaluated on 25 college students. The results showed that message notification by an anthropomorphic character can improve users’ motivation to reduce their smartphone use.
