ABSTRACT:
A usability evaluation processing system and method evaluate usability by simulation for estimating operating interaction between a user and a human interface. The usability evaluation processing system and method receive a simulation start command; input data into virtual-operation-object state data storing means, virtual-operator state data storing means, and operation procedure data storing means; perform a simulation to update virtual-operation-object state data and virtual-operator state data to states at the next time step by simulation processing means in response to a virtual-operator control signal; calculate a value of a usability evaluation function in accordance with at least one of the virtual-operation-object state data and the virtual-operator state data updated by the simulation processing means, or a history of the updated data; and output the resultant value and resultant data of the simulation.
