Abstract

For the business communication by e-mail with cellular phones, we think there is a serious problem. We sometimes misunderstand the intention of a sender and get into trouble as a result. Such missing each other is caused by a human egocentrism. Therefore, this egocentrism becomes a prevention factor of the good communication on e-Business. To handle this problem, this paper proposes a new model of the egocentrism for e-Business on the Internet based on DSM method which is the standard evaluation index of mental diseases in the psychiatry. It also describes a technique to predict egocentrism using N-gram model. Finally, we examined an evaluation experiment and got results that the precision was 100% and the recall was 34%. From these results, we conclude that this egocentrism presumption method is useful way to reduce misunderstanding the intention of messages on the Internet for e-Business.
