Conference

The figure shows the schematic structure of the system. It consists of three components, each represented by rectangles and connected by arrows. The rectangles on the left and right each show a stylistic person sitting at a computer with headphones and a nearby person with a speech bubble, as well as the words 'Wake word recognized'. The left-hand rectangle also shows 'wake word recognized' and 'do not inform', while the right-hand rectangle shows 'wake word recognized' and 'inform'. In the middle of the two rectangles is another one labeled 'Context analyzer' that connects both rectangles with arrows. The context analyzer also contains 'context-sensitive decision' and a list with 'speaker recognition', 'environment analyzer', 'predefined factors' and three dots. From the context analyzer, an arrow goes to the left-hand rectangle with the caption 'Addressing person unknown' and 'Context unaccepted'. Another arrow goes to the right rectangle labeled 'speaking person known' and 'context accepted'.

Open Sesame! Use of Headphones at Work Considering Social Acceptance

    In this article, assistive technologies are examined with regard to different contexts and target groups to determine the extent to which they promote concentration and at the same time enable social interaction in a context-sensitive manner. The investigations focus on the needs of autistic people in vocational training centers, for whom a low-noise environment at the workplace is often a prerequisite for concentrated work. The work shows the results of observations in a vocational training center, analyzes contextual factors and presents a concept for an adaptive support system specifically designed to meet the needs of autistic people in office environments.
