TL;DR: Strong and positive correlations between interaction performance (active response and engagement) and preference (likeability, trust and satisfaction) in the human-robot interaction are found.
Abstract: This study investigates the effects of culture, robot appearance and task on human-robot interaction. We propose a model with culture (Chinese, Korean and German), robot appearance (anthropomorphic, zoomorphic and machinelike) and task (teaching, guide, entertainment and security guard) as factors, and analyze these factors’ effects on the robot’s likeability, and people’s active response to, engagement with, trust in and satisfaction with the robot. We conducted a laboratory experiment with 108 participants to test the model and performed Repeated ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis Test on the data. The results show that cultural differences exist in participants’ perception of likeability, engagement, trust and satisfaction; a robot’s appearance affects its likeability, while the task affects participants’ active response and engagement. We found the participants expected the robot appearance to match its task only in the interview but not in the subjective ratings. Interaction between culture and task indicates that participants from low-context cultures may have significantly decreased engagement when the sociability of a task is lowered. We found strong and positive correlations between interaction performance (active response and engagement) and preference (likeability, trust and satisfaction) in the human-robot interaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to extract the security sensitive words/data from the source document for each MILS level, stores the extracted data in a corresponding extract store for each level and permits reconstruction/reassembly of the dispersed data via said extracted data at each said level of said multiple security levels and remainder data only in the presence of a predetermined security clearance commensurate with each level.
Abstract: The method, program and information processing system secures data, and particularly security sensitive words, characters or data objects in the data, in a computer system with multiple independent levels of security (MILS). Each level of MILS has a computer sub-network with networked workstations. The MILS sub-networks are connected together via security guard computer(s) and each guard computer has separate memories for each level (TS, S, C, UC (or remainder)). The method extracts the security sensitive words/data (a granular action), from the source document for each MILS level, stores the extracted data in a corresponding extract store for each level and permits reconstruction/reassembly of the dispersed data via said extracted data at each said level of said multiple security levels and remainder data only in the presence of a predetermined security clearance commensurate with each MILS level.

TL;DR: In this paper, a remote access personnel identification system for tracking personnel in, or controlling access to a secured area in which an identification module includes a micro-computer chip is programmed with identifying information.
Abstract: A remote access personnel identification system for tracking personnel in, or controlling access to a secured area in which an identification module includes a micro-computer chip is programmed with identifying information. The identification module is worn by personnel for interrogation by a remote field reading unit and includes a transmitter and receiver for two-way transfer of information to the portable hand held field reading unit. The system includes a central processing station in a master control center for programming each idenfication module with specific information regarding the personnel having access to the secured area. Information such as name, identification number, social security number, and descriptive characteristics are programmed into the module. The remote field reader unit allows the identification module to be interrogated at anytime, anywhere with a secured area. A security guard simply points and triggers a handgun to send an infra-red signal to interrogate the module. If identifying information is mis-matched during the interrogation an alarm is sounded to alert the security guard. Additionally the field reading unit records each interrogation storing information about personnel movement within the secured area.

31 Oct 2002TL;DR: In this article, a remote security guard monitors a scene using a variety of imagery sources that are rendered upon a model to provide a three-dimensional conceptual view of the scene, and the security guard may dynamically select a camera view to be displayed on his conceptual model.
Abstract: A method and apparatus (102) for providing immersive surveillance wherein a remote security guard (122) may monitor a scene (100) using a variety of imagery sources (108, 110, 112, 114) that are rendered upon a model to provide a three-dimensional conceptual view of the scene. Using a view selector (120), the security guard may dynamically select a camera view to be displayed on his conceptual model, perform a walk through of the scene, identify moving objects and select the best view of those moving objects and so on.
