Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) On the button interfaces used in information devices, such as controllers, automatic teller machines (ATM) and ticket machines, we programmed a virtual button-interface software to assess workload. Then, the total operation time, the number of clicks and the click intervals were experimentally measured. The 35 subjects, formed themselves in groups of 5 using 7 sorts of interface identified by the number of buttons, accomplished the task of inputting the Japanese family names which composed of 6 alphabets. As a result, the total operation time changed non-monotonously against the number of buttons, and was a minimal point when the number of buttons is set around 18 on the interface window. In order to clarify why such a unique minimum appears, we phenomenologically modeled the non-monotonous change of total operation time using liner equation, composed of two variables on the workload, i.e., the search and operation behaviors. It was suggested that anti-synergism of them for the workload generated the non-monotonousness.
