                Abstract: 
                The communication among the blind deaf persons and others became more easy than before using the “YUBITSUKI” system. When they become dementia it is estimated that the “YUBITSUKI” system shows some information processing signal of the situation corresponding to the dementia situation. Therefore, it is important that the structure model of information process and information content applied to this situation are made clear. In this paper, firstly the outline of the “YUBITSUKI” system working is described and the necessity of analysis of information structure of such communicating situation is shown. As a result, it is described that it is important for the new information content different from the Shannon’s ordinary information content to be introduced into the analysis of information process of dementia and its communicating structure with the “YUBITSUKI” system, and an example of consideration with regard to the elements of the new information content is proposed on the basis of di
                scussing Peirce’s semiotic and other concepts of some information elements.
