Abstract: A related information presenting system includes identification devices and an information presenting apparatus The identification devices are provided in respective materials distributed to users. Each identification device stores an identifier that specifies presentation information relating to the corresponding material so that the identifier is wirelessly readable The information presenting apparatus includes a presentation information storage unit, a reading unit, a searching unit and a presenting unit. The presentation information storage unit stores the presentation information corresponding to the identifiers. The reading unit wirelessly reads an identifier from the identification device that exists within a proximity range of the reading unit. The searching unit searches the presentation information storage unit for presentation information corresponding to the read identifier. The presenting unit outputs found presentation information visually.

Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for supporting evaluation of usability in consideration of situations particular to each business and ISO evaluation standards. The usability evaluation support apparatus uses an instrument including a display portion for displaying information, and supports the evaluation of usability in achieving a given task. During achievement of the task, a control unit acquires information of an operation log related to an operation performed by a user, and divides an effectiveness index associated with achievement of the task, efficiency index associated with efficiency for the achievement, and satisfaction index associated with subjective satisfaction of a task achiever for each predefined subtask. The unit evaluates the indexes by a statistical calculation using measurement results of a plurality of measurement items including the information of the operation log for each subtask.
