In this paper, we propseded the Youngwoo keyboard to help the communication disorders experienced by patients with dysarthria. Existing methods for communication by patients with dysarthria include a letter board with consonants and vowels, a mouse using eye tracking, and communication assistance applications. However, there was a delay of more than 5 minutes per sentence, so there were many difficulties in communication. However, unlike the existing method, the proposed method has been improved so that the patient with dysarthria can communicate by completing the sentences with eye movements. In the conclusion and future work of this paper, the educational use value for Yeongwoo keyboard was analyzed, and it was shown that this training can be of great help to families with ALS patients. The proposed keyboard will be able to improve the difficulties of families by facilitating communication of patients with dysarthria.

The purpose of this study is to predict the usefulness and predictable effects of the use of dementia prevention games and dementia management applications provided in smart-phones for the elderly. First, 6 dementia diagnostic tools used to verify the effectiveness of the dementia prevention program were selected and the cognitive domains tested by each diagnostic tool were extracted. Second, 29 smart-phone dementia prevention game applications and dementia management applications were selected and the expected effects after using these applications were analyzed in connection with the cognitive domain extracted from the dementia diagnosis tool. As a result, it was expected that it would be helpful to manage dementia prevention by improving cognitive function in certain areas when playing games or managing dementia continuously using smart-phone dementia prevention applications. Smart-phone dementia prevention applications will be useful in improving the cognitive ability of the elderly and preventing dementia by supplementing the limitations of the dementia prevention program that is operated offline through time-space ease of use, continuous usability and economic feasibility.

최근 인터넷의 발달과 함께 웹을 기반으로 하는 클라이언트-서버 분산 구조의 웹서비스 시스템 구조가 점차 확산되고 있다. 게다가, 최근에는 스마트폰을 이용한 스마트폰 애플리케이션이 대중화 되면서, 웹 서비스의 활용이 점차 확대되는 추세이다. 웹을 기반으로 클라이언트와 서버 사이에 통신을 하기 위해서는 원격 프로시저를 정의한 인터페이스가 규정되어야 하며, 기존에는 W3C에서 정의한 WSDL를 사용하여 웹서비스를 기술하곤 하였다. 그러나, 이와 같은 기존의 웹서비스 기술 및 사용방법은 그 구성이 복잡하고 오버헤드가 큰 이유로 널리 활용되지 못하였다. 최근에는 스마트폰이 대중화 되면서 REST 웹서비스의 활용이 확산되는 추세다. SOAP 기반 웹서비스에 대해서는 서비스 조합에 대해서 충분히 다루어 졌으며, 어느정도 정리된 연구분야이다. SOAP 웹서비스는 기계가 인식하기 쉽도록 엄격한 규약과 인터페이스를 정의한 것이기 때문이다. 하지만, REST 웹서비스 조합 방법에 대해서는 현재까지도 충분히 연구되지 않았다. REST 웹서비스는 사람이 사용하기 편리하도록 설계된 기술이고, 그 조합에 대해서는 표준에서 관여하지 않기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 REST 웹서비스의 기존의 소켓(socket)을 이용한 서버-클라이언트 통신 방법 대신에, REST 웹서비스를 활용하는 서버-클라이언트 스마트폰 앱개발 방법을 제안한다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the usability of serious-game apps for robots that are being developed for hospitals to add familiarity to hospital life for hospitalized patients. We conducted a usability test of 10 experts and 12 elementary school students with inpatient experience. The usability evaluation of the developed apps was based on the professional (MARS) evaluation tool and the user (uMARS) evaluation tool. The results of the usability test of the serious game robot app were $3.67{\pm}0.342$ for professionals and $3.68{\pm}0.592$ for children. The expert group obtained the highest score in the aesthetics category, and the user group obtained the highest score in the functionality category. In the subjective comments, the experts pointed out the game layout and the consistency of the style. According to the children, the methods were easy to learn, and the screen movement was mainly described. Both groups received low ratings in terms of engagement through participation. This study will provide useful reference material when the functional game app is actually installed in the robot and the usability test is conducted again after the results obtained in this study are considered.

Currently, most of the mobile game market releases games through Google play and App Store, which have a high share. Because it uses a third-party platform, only the payment API system provided must be used, and third-party platform pays the game company after excluding certain fees. Because game companies do not know whether or not to refund items and cannot get back items through third party transactions, users and professional websites are continuously appearing that exploit refunds. In this thesis, after analyzing problems of existing payment method and presenting a payment model using blockchain smart contract, we analyzed differences from existing model in terms of transparency, decentralization(fee), efficiency, and as a result, payment model using smart contract has low commission through P2P transaction without third parties and transparent transaction record, preventing item forgery and refund. Later, the proposed payment model would lead to the culling of companies acting on behalf of refunds for words that deviate from moral ethics such as "Refund OK even with items" and resolve the problem of unreasonable fees that arise through third-party platforms.

One of the major requisites for the success of the smart-TV is to create a circumstance where smart-TV app's are produced and purchased on a large scale. However, the smart TV app's may succeed only under the condition that the user interface of the smart TV is greatly evolved from the typical TV remote controller. Several equipments have been devised to tackle the problem of the poor user interface of the smart-TV; however, they are not satisfactory in the aspects that they usually increase the costs of TV-set and they do not help practically the app developers. The equipments are pre formed so that it is hard for the app developers to design their own user interface using them. In the paper, sMartUX, a method for developing the smart-TV app is introduced. sMartUX provides a new paradigm and development environment for designing, implementing, and operating the user interface of the smart TV app using a smart-phone. With sMartUX, app developers can design their own user interface using the various facilities of a smart-phone, and they need not to care the details of various smart-phones and how to launch their user interface onto a smart-phone.

This study explores the concept of Study Time Management Service(STMS) and the characteristics of gamification elements in STMS, in order to propose the meaning of psychic anti-entropy and the role of a meme as a new gamification element. The goal of gamification in education is to enhance study motivation and lead to flow by integrating similarities between game and study into the study environment. STMS also aims at such a goal. However, it differs in that the external anti-entropy environment, such as blocking apps, is connected with game mechanics or game thinking to give extrinsic motivation. It is also unique in that it uses a meme as a new gamification element to induce intrinsic motivation. In particular, a meme as a kind of guideline for performing study activities induces intrinsic motivation to imitate good study patterns and offers the driving force to sustain psychic anti-entropy state. Therefore, gamification in STMS is to strengthen the external anti-entropy environment by utilizing game mechanics or game thinking, and to maintain the psychic anti-entropy state by utilizing a meme of study patterns.

As to the rapid development of mobile technology, the era of 1-person 1-smart phone has come. Also, the application of smart phone became the part of our life. Especially mobile RPG(Role Playing Game) has the biggest market and the largest number of users. There could be no precise quality assessment result, if quality evaluation model of PC RPG game were applied to the mobile RPG. Thus, it is time to focus on new quality evaluation model for mobile RPG with the great reflection of smart phone attributes. In this paper, based on ISO/IEC 9126, the international standard of software quality, quality evaluation elements for mobile RPG were deducted. Then metrics for validation of elements were redefined and new quality evaluation model was proposed.
