Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) With the rapid growth of high performance ICT devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs, multitasking has become one of the popular ways of using mobile devices. The reasons users have adopted multitask operation are that it reduces the level of dissatisfaction regarding waiting time and makes effective use of time by switching their attention from the waiting process to other content. This is a good solution to the problem of waiting; however, it may cause another problem, which is to increase the traffic volume as a result of multiple applications being worked on simultaneously. Thus, an effective method to control throughput adapted to the multitasking situation is required. This paper evaluated a rate control method designed by a human-centered approach based on the behavioral characteristics of users during multitasking. It also quantitatively demonstrates the effect of the method in a field experiment. We show that the degree of satisfaction in relation to waiting time did not degrade even if the throughput for the background content decreased throughput by 40%.
