Abstract

An assessment device includes: a display control unit configured to display unit images including at least one of an object having specificity and an object having sensitivity on a display unit in different tasks; a region setting unit configured to set, for each task, an object determination region corresponding to each object and an entire determination region corresponding to an entirety of the display unit; a determining unit configured to determine whether a gaze point of a subject is present in each object determination region and the entire determination region based on a detected position of the gaze point; an arithmetic unit configured to calculate an object gaze rate and an entire gaze rate based on a determination result of the determining unit; and an assessing unit configured to calculate a score based on the rates, and acquire assessment data based on the calculated score.

Claims (25)

1 . An assessment device comprising:

a display unit;

a gaze-point detecting unit configured to detect a position of a gaze point of a subject;

a display control unit configured to display a plurality of unit images including at least one of an object having specificity and an object having sensitivity on the display unit in different tasks;

a region setting unit configured to set, for each of the tasks, an object determination region corresponding to each of the objects and an entire determination region corresponding to an entirety of the display unit;

a determining unit configured to determine whether the gaze point is present in each of the object determination region and the entire determination region based on the detected position of the gaze point;

an arithmetic unit configured to calculate an object gaze rate indicating a rate at which the gaze point is present in the object determination region in each of the tasks, and an entire gaze rate indicating a rate at which the gaze point is present in the entire determination region throughout all the tasks based on a determination result of the determining unit; and

an assessing unit configured to calculate a score based on the object gaze rate and the entire gaze rate calculated by the arithmetic unit, and acquire assessment data based on the calculated score.

2 . The assessment device according to claim 1 , wherein the assessing unit is configured to assign a heavier weight to the entire gaze rate than the object gaze rate, to calculate the score.

3 . The assessment device according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage unit configured to store reference data of the object gaze rate and the entire gaze rate, wherein

the assessing unit is configured to calculate a correlation coefficient indicating a strength of correlation between the reference data stored in the storage unit and the object gaze rate and the entire gaze rate calculated by the arithmetic unit, and assign weights to the object gaze rate and the entire gaze rate based on the calculated correlation coefficient, to calculate the score.

4 . An assessment method comprising:

detecting a position of a gaze point of a subject;

displaying a plurality of unit images including at least one of an object having specificity and an object having sensitivity on a display unit in different tasks;

setting an object determination region corresponding to each of the objects and an entire determination region corresponding to an entirety of the display unit;

determining whether the gaze point is present in each of the object determination region and the entire determination region based on the detected position of the gaze point;

calculating an object gaze rate indicating a rate at which the gaze point is present in the object determination region in each of the tasks, and an entire gaze rate indicating a rate at which the gaze point is present in the entire determination region throughout all the tasks based on a determination result; and

calculating a score based on the object gaze rate and the entire gaze rate calculated, to acquire assessment data indicating whether the calculated score exceeds a threshold.

5 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an assessment program causing a computer to perform:

detecting a position of a gaze point of a subject;

displaying a plurality of unit images including at least one of an object having specificity and an object having sensitivity on a display unit in different tasks;

setting an object determination region corresponding to each of the objects and an entire determination region corresponding to an entirety of the display unit;

determining whether the gaze point is present in each of the object determination region and the entire determination region based on the detected position of the gaze point;

calculating an object gaze rate indicating a rate at which the gaze point is present in the object determination region in each of the tasks, and an entire gaze rate indicating a rate at which the gaze point is present in the entire determination region throughout all the tasks based on a determination result; and

calculating a score based on the object gaze rate and the entire gaze rate calculated, to acquire assessment data based on the calculated score.
