“…User trials have also been conducted by placing the product in a consumer's home (Martel, 1998;Shinya et al, 2004). This allows for more naturalistic use of the product over a longer period.…”

“…Users can become familiar with the products and integrate them into their normal routine. Although data arising from these types of trials are typically self-reported, a recent report demonstrated that it is possible to provide actual usage data by instrumenting the product using a servomechanism and an infrared data logger (Shinya et al, 2004). These data proved useful in demonstrating that a television remote designed with larger buttons for use by the elderly actually created more entry errors than the original product.…”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that accidents rated as the fifth leading cause of death in 2002. A large proportion of these accidents occur in and around the home. For 2003, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimated that just under 11 million injuries were caused by children's nursery equipment; toys; sports and recreational equipment; home communication and entertainment; household containers; yard and garden equipment; home workshop equipment; home maintenance; general household appliances; heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment; home furnishings and fixtures; and home structures and construction materials. Even those products that are safe to use may not be designed to allow the user to be maximally effective when using those products. This chapter describes a framework that can provide a foundation for understanding the components that play a role in making products safe and effective, a process that can be used by designers to ensure a consideration of the components of the framework, and a discussion of the extent to which consumers select products based on these features. Difficulties in conducting research in this area are identified, as well as some directions for future work.

In-Situ Ergonomics" which extended the direct observation method was discussed. It is the method of using a sensor for data collection. By observing all the situations in which a user works for a long period of time, this method can be used in order to improve service. As an example, the use situation of the electric pot with a communication function was analyzed. Various users' use situation over one electric pot was clarified. And the improvement proposal of service was shown.
