In this paper, we propose a font automatic generating system considering quality of a generated font. This system learns a placement of skeleton points in a font to evaluate shape of the font by GRNN (General Regression Neural Network) for each element. Furthermore, using the shape evaluation by the GRNN, the proposed system generates a font considering the quality by revising placement of skeleton points and transformation parameters of the font. In addition, to learn the shape evaluation of the font, a user can evaluate the generated font interactively on the Web. The proposed system has the following three advantages. First, it is possible to evaluate a shape itself of the font. Second, it is possible to make a modification automatically for a skeleton and transformation parameters of a font by shape evaluation. Finally, an interactive shape evaluation of a generated font is possible with low burden.

In human face-to-face communication, not only verbal messages but also non-verbal behaviors such as facial expressions, body movements, and gazes are conveyed; these non-verbal behaviors can express human affect. In addition, it leads to sharing of empathy unconsciously in human interaction and enhancing intimacy between humans. In particular, cognitive empathy as well as emotional empathy play an important role in sharing of empathy. Therefore, it is expected to evaluate emotional empathy based on the features of affect for enhancing intimacy. In this study, for the basic research of evaluating emotional empathy, a method that estimates the emotional centroid based on the coordinate system in the Russell’s circumplex model was proposed. In addition, the experiment was conducted to evaluate the proposed method. The results demonstrated that the method has a possibility to estimate the features of affect.

Because the color of lipstick is important for total fashion image, we tried to analyze the characteristics of colors of lipsticks of popular brands especially for Japanese female students. Preparing a database consists of 294 color images obtained from websites of lipsticks, we performed statistical analyses such as distribution chart and decision tree for their RGB values. The analysis results show that “MAC has relatively different RGB values from other brands,” “The products with high R values tend to be CHANEL,” and some similarities between brands. Those successfully gave the subjective evidences for the empirical knowledge of the fashion expert.

This paper demonstrated a relation between tempo of ‘Healing’ music and listener's ‘Healing’ evaluation. Some previous studies suggested that tempo is one of the most important factors in music. In present study, at first, we investigated tempo of ‘Healing’ music from the market, and analyzed acoustical property of them. Next, we made a simple sound from a result of the analysis, and we used it in the listening experiment. The subjects answered subjective ‘Healing’ impression of the sound stimuli, which were constructed from simple sounds in various tempi. According to the confirmation, the peak of the evaluation value was found at about 60 BPM (Beats Per Minute). Distribution of subjective ‘Healing’ evaluation resembled distribution of tempo values of ‘Healing’ music. There must be a tempo that fitsKANSEIand heals us, and such tempo is possible to be originated from heart rate in rest. Results of this study are useful for composition and choice of ‘Healing’ music.

Emojis are extensively used to convey emotional nuances non-verbally in computer-mediated communication. Previous studies have examined how emojis are used and how they change the expression of a sentence, as well as the subsequent impression of the reader. Regarding whether the writer’s emotion is understood correctly by readers, evidence shows that emojis can enhance specific emotions. However, the effects of variation in the kinds of sentence, emotion, and emoji on the shifting emotion conveyed have not been studied. In this study, we examined the various factors that affect the shift in emotions being communicated. Our results demonstrated that positive emotions can be communicated more correctly compared with negative emotions and that smiley emojis (a.k.a. emoticons) can communicate emotions more clearly compared with other kinds of emoji.

The main purpose of this paper is to develop an easy-to-use smartphone case with “fall prevention function”. It shows as a remarkable point that our developed technique of determining the grip form reflecting the traditional craftsmanship verifies for the made-to-order wooden products. It also provides the experimental result of wooden smartphone case using electromyography (EMG). The experiment consists of two cases, with using a smart phone case and not it. Then, it compared with these two cases, the result of measuring the amplitude of gripping forces. The experiment suggests that using the smartphone case relatively clearly that applies significantly less gripping force, so that prevents dropping a smartphone. The experiment suggests that using the smartphone case it applies significantly less gripping force. It will provide a new guideline of the universal design as a case study of Kansei/affective engineering regarding human grip.

With the spread of digital games, board games as analog games are also popular. There are several discussions focusing on educational methods using board games. However, although it is said that it will have improved communication skills and educational effects, there is not much specific analysis. It is considered impossible to conduct social experiments that only control the use of board games, and it is generally difficult to measure them. Therefore, in this study, based on the hypothesis that it is effective, we set the “Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons” by METI as educational effects for 24 types of board games and analyzed the relationship. This paper describes the results. In addition, we discuss whether board games can be generalized for playing and learning, and the “Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons” for educational effects.

Motivated by the recent Reinhardt's experiments for a therapeutic purpose that suggested the heartbeats of cancer patients were synchronized with music, we attempt to explore if the heartbeats of normal individuals are synchronized with music of decreasing tempo, and also its physiological effect. Based on the tool verifying synchronization between music and heartbeats, we found that the heartbeats of normal individuals are synchronized with tempo of our music stimulus. Furthermore, we suggest, in our experiment, that the synchronization affects autonomic nervous activity related to relaxation in physiological state.

This study aimed to construct a cognitive model of facial youthfulness. First, we investigated which higher-order impressions (e.g. lively, clean, etc.) compose youthfulness on the hypothesis that youthfulness is a complex impression. Then, we investigated which lower-order impressions (e.g. wrinkles, translucency, etc.) account for the constituent impressions of youthfulness. Eight trained participants rated 27 impressions of 32 women’s facial images in their 50s. Factorial analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted on the rating data. Our investigation revealed that youthfulness consisted of lively impression and clean impression in addition to estimated age, while lively impression was the main constituent of youthfulness. Further analyses showed that those three impressions respectively related to strong appearance of eyes, perceived translucency, and wrinkled appearance. Based on these results, we proposed a cognitive model representing that youthfulness is a complex impression composed of three higher-order impressions, which are affected by particular facial features.

<p>In order to increase the number of videos playback, we researched on the thumbnail images and the titles which were selected by the viewers. We built the samples and conducted the questionnaires in order to reveal the factors that make a great influence on the evaluation and be clear about the positive levels. We revealed the viewers decide the videos under the influence of the images rather than sentences and words. Also, Images factors are particularly effective for males. On the other hand, females are more affected by sentences and words than males. This research revealed the guidelines that YouTuber creates thumbnail images and titles and the elements to incorporate according to the target the males or the females. As a starting point of this research, we will be able to conduct more detailed research on thumbnail images and titles. </p>

People can enjoy Japanese traditional comic storytelling by both hearing the voice and watching the gesture of a teller. Some records of comic storytelling are available only by a voice record. If the animated motion for the talk is generated, we may enjoy storytelling more. We propose two methods to generate animation in accordance with a talk. One is a real time teaching; animation is generated at real time using a mouse. The other is a semiautomatic method; the timing for a new motion will be searched and the candidates of possible motion patterns are shown to an operator. The operator will choose a motion pattern fitted with the talk of a teller. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of these methods. The methods will be applicable to the development of animation fitted with voice or music data.

This paper proposes a new approach for the analysis of a customer's initial impressions of an automobile front view. It is important for manufactures to analyze the differences in the expression that a studied automobile provokes in the viewer. We have tried to estimate quantitatively both the “facial expression” and the “perceived age” using modals that are already in common usage, for fifty automobile front views. Two visual stimuli were used in our experiments: the drawings and the caricatures generated by an automotive caricaturing system coche-PICASSO. The results show that this approach is effective in analyzing motor vehicle viewer perception.

Extracting keywords from a target text data is essential for an analysis to describe substance characteristics of message content. We picked a use of a stopword filter from among alternatives because the method has the advantage that it is simple yet effective way. The filter we present was made up of non-content words and low-content words. Non-content-bearing words consisted mainly of function words and were gotten rid of by using part-of-speech (POS) tag information. High occurrence rate words in remaining had prospects of being keywords, however usually there were some low-content words like delexical verbs and so on. This article presents a stopword list obtained to come up with low-content words by sensuous manual procedures carried out using 40 text files from the CASTEL/J database and establishes it in the view of general versatility.

Considering the great popularity of amusement machines and contact lens that magnify the iris, it is clear that eyes play a significant role in facial attractiveness. However, there have been few studies that investigated attractiveness using average faces while manipulating the size of the iris and the shape of eyelid. In this study, we generated average female faces with either flat or double eyelids, we also generated four patterns of the size of the iris, and asked participants to rate their attractiveness and how natural or otherwise the faces appeared. The research found a face with flat eyelids and an iris at 125% of normal size was judged more attractive and more natural than faces with double eyelids. These results suggest that females with flat eyelids can readily enhance their facial attractiveness utilizing commodities such as contact lens that magnify the iris.

This paper discusses the changes of magazines which women read according to the age using figures of the network, which we got from the answers to questionnaire of women's junior college students. The link of the network expresses frequent combinations of magazines read in the same period or frequent changes of magazines which women read. This paper covers fashion magazines, comic magazines and animation magazines. At first, it is found that the combination of magazines with a similar property are read in the same period. Next, changes of magazines which women read is clarified. 51.22%, 28.66%, and 19.51% of the college students read “Chao,” “Ribon,” and “Nakayoshi” in their childhood, respectively. Readers of “Chao” and those of “Ribbon” come to read fashion magazines or boys' comics for teenagers, and then street fashion or girly fashion magazines. “Nakayoshi” readers, however, tend to continue reading comic magazines sequentially.

Mindfulness-based meditation is one of the most widely used techniques among many different meditation techniques. In this study, we examined the effect of mindfulness meditation on the performance of a task that requires control of timing. The participants performed a timing task after exercises of mindfulness meditation or silent reading. We analyzed accuracy (degree of closeness of measurements to the true value) and precision (standard deviation of measurements). The results showed that mindfulness meditation exercises increased timing precision of the performance, but did not influence accuracy of it. These findings suggest that mindfulness meditation stabilize the timing of human behavioral rhythms.

In this paper, first, analyses of many maxims are carried out to obtain knowledge for heart-touching phrases. Next, a creation system for heart-touching encouraging sentences is proposed using these findings. As for analyses, we collected 1,830 maxims because heart-touching phrases have a large effect on healing and encouragement. As a result, some interesting findings could be obtained such that positive and sentimental words are often used in heart-touching sentences. Contrast and emphatic sentences also tend to contribute to impressive expressions. The proposed system utilizes these findings to create heart-touching encouraging sentences. We performed evaluation experiments. We compared the sentences created by the proposed system with sentences created by humans. Many output sentences received evaluation values close to those created by humans.
