Disassembly and De-Compilation Based Data Logging for Mobile App Usage Analysis

모바일 앱 사용행태 분석을 위한 역컴파일 및 역어셈블 데이터 로깅

This study presents a logging method to trace the usage patterns of existing smartphone apps. The actual smartphone app itself, not a specially developed similar app with usage logging, would be used best for the experiment of observing the usage patterns. For this purpose, we used a method of injecting logging codes into existing smartphone app. Using this method, we conducted an experiment to trace usage patterns of a commercial IPTV app, and found that the method is very useful for acquiring detail usage log without influencing participants.
