Abstract:
Human error is still one of the most frequent causes of catastrophes and ecological disasters. The main reason is that the monitoring systems concern only the state of the processes whereas human contribution to the overall performance of the system is left unsupervised. Since the control instruments are automated to a large extent, a human – operator becomes a passive observer of the supervised system, which results in weariness and vigilance drop. Thus, he may not notice important changes of indications causing financial or ecological consequences and a threat to human life. It therefore is crucial to assure that the operator’s conscious brain is involved in an active system supervising over the whole work time period.
1.INTRODUCTION
BlueEyes system provides technical means for monitoring and recording the operator’s basic physiological parameters. Computers would be much more powerful if they had a small fraction of the perceptual ability of humans. Adding such perceptual abilities to computers would enable computers and humans to work together more as partners. Imagine yourself in a world where humans interact with computers. You are sitting in front of your personal computer that can listen, talk, or even scream aloud. It has the ability to gather information about you and interact with you through special techniques like facial recognition, speech recognition, etc. It can even understand your emotions at the touch of the mouse. It verifies your identity, feels your presence, and starts interacting with you .You ask the computer to dial to your friend at his office. It realizes the urgency of the situation through the mouse, dials your friend at his office, and establishes a connection. Blue Eyes uses sensing technology to identify a user's actions and to extract key information. This information is then analyzed to determine the user's physical, emotional, or informational state, which in turn can be used to help make the user more productive by performing expected actions or by providing expected information realize his physical or emotional states that people take for granted .
2.SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Blue eyes system monitors the status of the operator’s visual attention through measurement of saccadic activity. The system checks parameters like heart beat rate and blood oxygenation against abnormal and triggers user defined alarms. BlueEyes system consists of a mobile measuring device and a central analytical system. The mobile device is integrated with Bluetooth module providing wireless interface between sensors worn by the operator and the central unit. ID cards assigned to each of the operators and adequate user profiles on the central unit side provide necessary data personalization.
The system consists of
• Mobile measuring device (DAU)
• Central System Unit (CSU)
The tasks of the mobile Data Acquisition Unit are to maintain Bluetooth connections, to get information from the sensor and sending it over the wireless connection, to deliver the alarm messages sent from the Central System Unit to the operator and handle personalized ID cards. Central System Unit maintains the otherside of the Bluetooth connection, buffers incoming sensor data, performs on-line data analysis, records the conclusions for further exploration and provides visualization interface.
3.IBM’S RESEARCH
One proposed, non-invasive method for gaining user information through touch is via a computer input device, the mouse. This then allows the user to relate the cardiac rhythm, the body temperature, electrical conductivity of the skin and other physiological attributes with the mood. This has led to the creation of the “Emotion Mouse”. The device can measure heart rate, temperature, galvanic skin response and minute bodily movements and matches them with six emotional states: happiness, surprise, anger, fear, sadness and disgust. The mouse includes a set of sensors, including infrared detectors and temperature-sensitive chips. These components, User researchers’ stress, will also be crafted into other commonly used items such as the office chair, the steering wheel, the keyboard and the phone handle. Integrating the system into the steering wheel, for instance, could allow an alert to be sounded when a driver becomes drowsy.
Emotional mouse
The mouse developed in order to evaluate the user’s emotion such as anger, fear, sadness, disgust, happiness, surprise, etc when we use a computer.
• Measure the physical and physiological data without user¡¯s perception or obstruction as much as possible
Data acquisition system to get the analog data from several sensors.
Behavioral information
• Mouse movements
• Button click frequency
• Finger pressure when a user presses his/her button
Physiological information
• Heart rate ( Electrocardiogram ,Photoplethysmogram )
• Skin temperature (Thermester)
• Skin electricity (Galvanic skin response, GSR)
• Electromyographic activity (Electromyogram, MG)
