Abstract

We have developed a pictograph chat communicator for distant places, named Pictograph Chat Communicator IV. The system has an awareness function, an example sentence indication function, a pictograph quotation function, and a Web image search function. Experiments were carried out 9 times in Japanese and Chinese. As a result, the level of understanding is 88.2%. Though we experimented with the system in distant places, the results did not differ from those in the same room. It was supposed that pictograph communication was sufficient for ice-breaking communication between distant places.
