本研究運用智慧型代理人的技術,為身心障礙者設計一套輔助性多代理人系統,以提供一個輔具評估及模擬服務,整個系統是由評估代理人及模擬代理人所組成,評估功能將建立輔具自動評估資料庫系統網站,將針對個案需求,進行評估找出適合個案之輔具,若是沒有適合的,則會提出需求公告給輔具研發者或相關單位進行研發,模擬代理人可在未有適合輔具時,讓個案預先使用系統模擬功能來熟悉輔具,之後再進行模擬代理人效益評估,評估模擬功能的效益,以強化輔具功能及縮短輔具開發時間。 本系統與傳統照護系統不同之處在於它具有相當的自主能力,能夠以人類行為為基礎,與使用者互相溝通、處理與協調,搭配無線電收發模組與現有的科技輔具技術,能使本代理人系統在身心障礙者的家中更便利、有效地提供他們所需要的服務,研究中所收集與製作的資料庫,可延伸提供給其它相關研究參考使用。期望這個想法與設計理念在未來可以真正應用在身心障礙者身上,讓本研究可以為社會盡一份心力,幫助更多需要幫忙的人。
This study proposes a conceptual model of testbed to support multimodal interaction evaluation throughout the agent-based user interfaces development. Taking into account the user’s requirements, the conceptual model consists of human test subject, agent-based user interface, evaluation analysis, and application simulation. Both evaluation analysis and application simulation cooperate with each other to form the testbed. A multi-agent based architecture is also designed to construct the testbed. The multi-agent based architecture aims to achieve a generic, flexible, and portable testbed to support user observation and analysis in an efficient way, also independent of the implementation of the system application functions. We hope can really be applied on the disabled in the future by this study and help more people who needs assistance.
