Pictograph Chat Communicator III: A Chat System That Embodies Cross-Cultural Communication

摘要

The Pictograph Chat Communicator III is a modified version of the conventional system, where pictograph selection and the taxonomy of picto-graphs were taken a closer look. We added new pictographs (subjects, verbs, adjectives, 5W1H, symbols, and alphabets) and deleted unnecessary pictographs. We also changed the taxonomy of pictographs. Experiments were carried out 9 times in international conference halls of America, Vietnam, and Portugal, between people who do not share the same spoken language (or native language). As a result, the level of understanding is 91.1%. We supposed that pictograph communication was enough in the ice-breaking communications.
