As the performance of game consoles is so highly progressed that services such as internet browsing become available on the consoles, the need for text input schemes on game consoles is rapidly raised. In this paper, we present a text input method of alphabet characters and several symbols using a gamepad, which is a widely used input device for most game consoles. Just like other text input methods using gamepad, our method allows users to enter texts by manipulating the gamepad with a user interface displayed on the screen of the console. A key idea of this paper is to present the user interface that is similar to the $4{\times}3$ keypad on mobile phones. The motivation of this idea is a principle that the experience of using a text input tool can be transferred to another tool that has similar interface. Another motivation is that the keyboard-based interface is too complex to be easily manipulated by simple input from a keypad, which is four orthogonal directions and several fire signals. Since most of keys on keypad of $4{\times}3$ keys are represented by a combination of two orthogonal directions, users feel easier in entering texts using keypad-based interface. We prove this argument in this paper by a user test of ten subjects. After about two experiment sessions, subjects reach 13 WPM in average, which proves that the proposed text input method enables much faster text input than the existing keyboard-based text input methods.

The Nintendo Switch(NSW), which appeared as an 8th generation console, has succeeded worldwide as a hybrid gaming console. The NSW has E-shop itself, users can sign in to their account and purchase games. The keypad built in the NSW is similar to QWERTY keyboard. In the password input field the input information is hidden, but it's possible to get the value entered from the keypad with shoulder surfing attack. Because of the NSW with many party or family games, there is a high probability that someone else is watching the screen nearby, which acts as a vulnerability in account security. Thus we designed the new keypad which improve from this issue. In this paper, we check the problem about the keypad which built in the NSW, we present the proposed keypad and the compared to the built in keypad by showing the test result of unspecified individuals use.

In this paper, we developed digital TV interactive game using mobile device. This enables a TV viewer to participate in the game using mobile devices. Recently, advanced interface is adopted in the mobile devices, especially touchpad type interface is favorable. Such type interface has the advantage of more familiar interface for users, and the user can input various type of action. Using a mobile phone enables many users can participate in the TV game, and provides a private screen. In this paper, we describe contributions of the program in detail, and we present the architecture and a demonstration of the proposed program in a similar broadcasting environment.

This study proposes suitable input processing technique for producing the mobile platform based virtual reality contents. First of all, we produce the mobile platform based virtual reality interactive contents to be used in experiments for improve user's immersion who experience the virtual reality contents, get interests and design the input processing that easily controllable. Then design the input processing technique in two methods, with gamepad that accessibility to mobile and with directly through user's gaze to interface. Through virtual reality based input processing technique that we proposed, we analyse effect of improve user's immersion, cause of get interests and whether provide the convenience or not for controlling contents through experiments. Moreover we verify whether bring negative psychological elements like sickness, fatigue or not.

Currently mobile phones possess the new features including the control interface provided with an ease, an intuition, and a variety and the display ensured for wide area. Mobile phones mounted with the touch screen release actively due to such strengths. This is the mega trend of the development of the latest mobile game. Mobile games set to the past keypad input system have changed for adaptation in the input environment and the progressive development. Consequently it is necessary to research for 'Touch User Interface(TUI)' of mobile games fixed into input environment by "Touch screen". This study have concreted the application method of touch game through the comparison analysis with the past game and implemented touch mobile game based on usability for ten touch mobile game titles released from the inside and outside of the country in oder to apply the touch interface fixed in the game to the hand-hold device with the function of touch interface. The result of this study have two implications. First it enhances the playability and diversity of game genre restricted by reason of the limitation of the past keypad input device. Second, it utilizes the basis for the standard of the interface of the touch mobile game by genre.

Mobile devices provide various services through payment and authentication by inputting important information such as passwords on the screen with the virtual keypads. In order to infer the password inputted by the user, the attacker captures the user's touch location information. The attacker is able to infer the password by using the location information or to obtain password information by peeping with Google Glass or Shoulder Surfing Attack. As existing secure keypads place the same letters in a set order except for few keys, considering handy input, they are vulnerable to attacks from Google Glass and Shoulder Surfing Attack. Secure keypads are able to improve security by rearranging various shapes and locations. In this paper, we propose secure keypads that generates 13 different shapes and sizes of Tetris and arranges keypads to be attached one another. Since the keypad arranges different shapes and sizes like the game, Tetris, for the virtual keypad to be different, it is difficult to infer the inputted password because of changes in size even though the attacker knows the touch location information.

최근 콘솔 게임 시장은 닌텐도 위 출시 이후 체감형 인터페이스 기반의 게임들이 주류를 이루고 있다. 기존의 조이스틱 혹은 조이패드 중심의 콘솔 게임 시장은 체감형 인터페이스의 등장으로 인해 메이저 회사들의 다양한 인터페이스 개발을 유도하고 시장 규모도 점점 확대되고 있다. 그러나 콘솔 게임의 경우 개발 회사의 인터페이스 및 콘텐츠에 종속되어 사용해야 하기 때문에 확장성이 떨어지고 일반인들이 사용하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 스마트폰을 활용한 PC게임용 체감형 인터페이스를 제안한다. 스마트폰의 다양한 센서를 활용하여 PC게임을 제어하고 다양한 응용 프로그램들을 제어할 있는 방안을 제시하여 향후 PC게임에서도 체감형 인터페이스를 활용한 다양한 콘텐츠들이 활성화되기를 기대해본다.

This paper presents the analysis of tactile effects on different body parts according to the various vibration patterns. The experiments use a vibration pad made of 16 vibration elements in the form of $4{\times}4$ array. The vibration elements are controlled by a 8-bit microprocessor. The sound of gunshot initiates a vibration pattern on different body parts and its sensitivity is measured. The analysis of the experiments lead us to conclude that the vibration pad is the most realistic interface for shooting games and the shoulder part is the most sensitive part in the body. In addition, the most effective vibration pattern is the for the pattern which gives the sensation of spreading out from the center to the outside. This study analyzes the relationship between the human body parts and the tactile sensations by the various vibration patterns. The result of this study will be a good reference for user studies in the field of haptics based on the vibration.

2018 년 평창 동계올림픽부터 우리나라 사람들이 컬링이라는 종목에 큰 관심을 갖기 시작하였다. 하지만 이 종목을 직접 체험하거나 경기를 보기 위해서는 빙판이 있어야 하는 특수성과 비싼 장비, 찾아보기 힘든 경기장 등 여러 열악한 조건들 때문에 결국 올림픽 시즌에만 반짝 관심을 가졌다가 시들어버렸다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 우리는 Unity 라는 게임 엔진을 사용하여 사람들이 쉽게 접할 수 있는 컬링 게임을 제작하였다. 실제 컬링을 게임으로 만들기 위해 컬링에 필요한 도구들을 이미지로 제작하여 Unity 내부에서 저장 후 오브젝트에 입력하였고 물리 법칙을 구현하기 위해 Unity 상에서 방향, 세기, 속도, 충돌들을 프로그래밍하였으며 대한컬링연맹에 나와있는 컬링 경기 규칙서를 활용하여 게임에 적용하였다. 또한 컬링의 진행이 현실적인 운동과 비슷하게 하기 위하여 스크립트 안의 충돌 및 마찰 관련 계수를 조절하였고 이를 이용하여 반복한 결과값들을 수치화 하여 그래프로 작성해보았다. 추가적으로 컬링 게임의 점수판과 카메라 시점 등을 통해서 게임 사용자가 게임 진행에 있어서 도움이 되는 부분을 구현하였고 현실성을 위하여 Arduino 를 이용한 게임 패드를 제작하여 직접 게임하는 듯한 느낌을 들도록 하였다. 최종적으로 게임을 이용하여 컬링에 대한 이해도가 증가하고 사람들이 컬링이라는 비인기 종목에 한 걸음 더 접근할 수 있게 되고, 스포츠발전에 조금이나마 기여할 수 있게 될 것이다.
