Abstract

In recent years, in accordance with the rapidly increasing number of smartphone users, various social problems have started to occur. Examples of these problems are the overuse of smartphones and bad usage habits of smartphone users that can cause new social problems such as smartphone addiction and other smartphone related diseases. With the aim of preventing these social problems, this paper proposes a new smartphone addiction and disease prevention system. This system was developed by collecting and analyzing smartphone usage patterns. This proposed system analyzes the usage patterns and working hours of smartphone users in real time. If the detected smartphone usage patterns reach a dangerous level, the system will send warning messages to the user. This will enable users to recognize the unhealthy situation in advance by themselves. In addition, this solution could possibly prevent smartphone addiction and other smartphone related illness by preventing overuse and encouraging abstinence from using smartphones to the extent that it becomes harmful to the user.

최근 스마트폰 사용자들이 급격히 증가함에 따라 다양한 사회적 문제점들이 발생되고 있다. 대표적으로, 과도한 스마트폰의 사용과 잘못된 이용습관은 '스마트폰 중독(smartphone addiction)'과 '스마트폰 질병(smartphone disease)'과 같은 새로운 사회적 문제점들을 야기시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제들을 사전에 예방하기 위해 스마트폰 사용자의 패턴을 방향센서를 이용해서 수집하고 분석해서 스마트폰 중독 및 질병을 예방하는 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 사용자의 스마트폰 사용형태와 사용시간을 실시간으로 분석하여 위험수준에 도달하였을 경우, 사용자에게 이를 알려 줌으로써 사용자 자신이 사전에 위험을 인지할 수 있도록 하며, 자신의 의지로 스마트폰 사용을 절제하도록 하여 스마트폰 중독 및 질병을 사전에 예방할 수 있도록 제안한다.
