Problems solved by technology

[0004] The ability score described in Document 1 only indicates the ability to perceive the meaning of each image, and the ability score cannot be used to evaluate the degree of concentration when mental workload is given to the user.
[0005] On the other hand, in the case of the technique described in Document 2, it is possible to calculate the change in the user's concentration during the problem period provided as a trace job, but since the trace job is not a mental workload, the trace job is not suitable for concentration degree evaluation
In addition, the tracking operation relies on the motor ability of the user's hand, so from this point of view, this technology is not suitable for evaluating the degree of concentration

Embodiment Construction

[0015] In the embodiments to be described below, examples of users include workers in an office and learners in educational facilities or learning environments. The staff in the office do not mainly perform physical tasks that require physical exercise to obtain the results of the work, but mainly perform mental tasks such as document preparation, information management, and classification tasks.

[0016] Hereinafter, the productivity of mental work is called "intellectual productivity". Intellectual productivity is not only affected by personal knowledge and skills, but also by the degree of concentration during work (hereinafter referred to as "concentration") and the duration of the state of concentration (hereinafter referred to as "concentration time period").

[0017] For example, in the case of a relatively large mental work load, the improvement of intellectual productivity requires a high concentration of mental resources used in mental work, which requires a high degree o...

Abstract

Provided is an evaluation device for calculating an objective evaluation value regarding a degree of concentration. The evaluation device (10) is provided with an acquisition section (11), a storage section (12), a processing section (13), and a correction section (15). The acquisition section (11) acquires a processing time measured for each of a plurality of tasks performed by a user. The storage section (12) stores the processing time for each task. The correction section (15) uses a load coefficient, which is determined in accordance with the degree of difficulty for each task, to correct the processing time stored in the storage section (12) to an effective time corresponding to a predetermined degree of difficulty. The processing section (13) calculates an evaluation value regarding the degree of concentration of the user on the basis of statistics obtained from a set of the effective times.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a concentration evaluation device and a program, and more particularly relates to a concentration evaluation device configured to evaluate the concentration of workers performing mental tasks, and a main part for implementing the concentration evaluation device using a computer The function of the program. Background technique [0002] In the related art for measuring the recognition ability of the user, it is known that it is based on the time from the moment when the user is shown a degraded image containing the meaningful subject to the moment when the user perceives the subject ( Perception time) to calculate the ability score (for example, see Document 1 "Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 2006-87743"). Document 1 describes a technique in which the technique is used to pre-calculate information related to the difficulty of an image to be perceived by showing images to a plurality of users, and is based on informat...
