Study of user interruptibility estimation based on focused application switching

In this study, we propose a user-interruptibility estimation method based on focused application switching (AS) during PC work. It was experimentally demonstrated that the interruptions of AS are more acceptable than those during continuous work. Therefore, we constructed an algorithm that estimates the interruptibility of AS at three levels based on 19 selected indexes. The feasibility of the interruptibility estimation of AS was demonstrated by an estimation experiment using another dataset of 11 users.
