FRIEND21 PROJECT aims to realize personalized information
environment in the society which is highly structured on the basis
of communication network and various information processing
capabilities in the 21st century.
To get the goal, innovation of human interface between individuals
and information processing facilities is strongly expected.
Such a future human interface will be implemented in a personal use
computer, and will enable everybody to directly engage into the
information society by means of :
- Interaction with machine
- Use of everyday life based metaphors
- Adaptation to his / her personal preferences
- In FRIEND21 PROJECT, the following technologies are to be developed
in term of 6 years (1988 - 1993)
- Human Interface Technology
- Media Conversion Technology
- Information Structurization Technology
- Intension Understanding Technology
- FRIEND21 PROJECT is carried out by P. I. E. (Institute for
Personalized Information Environment) under the trust of the
Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).
- P. I. E. was established on June 7, 1988 by permission of the
Ministry of International Trade and Industry based on Article 34 of
Japanese Civil Law.
- Major tasks of P. I. E. are as follows:
