Abstract
Information processing systems with computers are widely used not only by computer experts, but also by non-professional users. Therefore, such systems should be designed based on human factors in its operation. For this purpose, this paper proposes a design method for Human-Computer Interaction by applying a visual recognition model proposed in a previous paper for the modeling of human recognition processes. As application examples, the proposed method is used for setting two parameters in the design of a menu retrieval system. Using computer simulation in this method, the search time for two different configurations is estimated, and actual experiments with human subjects are then carried out for confirmation. The usefulness of the method is verified by comparison of these results. In addition, some features of the proposed method are discussed through a comparison with a traditional method based on experiments.
