Google Android, which is one of the popular smart phone platforms, employs a security model based on application permissions. This model intends to reduce security threats by protecting inappropriate accesses to system resources from applications, but this model has a few problems. First, permission requested by an application cannot be granted selectively. Second, once the permission has been granted it is maintained until the application is uninstalled. Third, applications may acquire powerful permissions through user ID sharing without any notice to users. In order to overcome these limitations, we designed and implemented a flexible application permission management scheme. The goal of our scheme is to enhance security and user convenience while keeping compatibility to original platform. We also verified the operation of our scheme with real applications on Android emulator.

The existing smart-phone software is dependent on the platform, which should be developed per each different platform, Each vendor will develop its own platform such as Apple's Cocoa platform, Google Android, Microsoft Windows Mobile, etc. In this paper, we apply model transformation technique for developing heterogenous software at a time in heterogenous smart phone area. This approach separates the independent model and dependent model. and automatically transforms the difference between them with model transformation language. To execute model transformation, it is required with meta model, model transformation language. In this paper, we are applied to smart-phones as follows: model will be UMLmodel, metamodel be UML metamodel, and choose ATL as Model transformation language. We show examples of the Windows Mobile platform environment to be developed using model transformation. As a result, if we use platform-independent model in this paper and redefine model transformation rules for the iPhone or Android, it will be automatically transformed into heterogenous platforms.

현재 스마트폰 시장에는 다양한 모바일들이 등장하고 있다. 심비안과 윈도우 모바일이 주를 이루던 모바일 업계에 애플사가 iPhone을 들고 나타나 큰 반향을 일으켰다. 애플사의 iPhone은 앱스토어라는 새로운 시장을 창출하여 모바일 폰의 거대한 변화를 일으키고 있다. 그리고 이제 구글이 지원하는 안드로이드가 나타나 자리를 차지해 나가고 있다. 휴대폰뿐만이 아닌 다양한 모바일 기기에 안드로이드 플랫폼이 올라가고 안드로이드가 우리 생활의 구석구석을 차지 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 부산버스노선, 지하철노선의 어플리케이션이 다른 지역에 비해서 개발이 미흡한 실정이다. 시민들이 많이 이용하는 버스, 지하철에 대한 정보를 스마트폰에서 구현함으로써 사용자가 실생활에 편리하게 이용할 수 있게 버스, 지하철에 대한 노선정보, 대기시간, 환승정보, GPS를 이용하여 현재위치에서 역검색을 할 수 있게 한다.

Most domestic educational mobile contents put special stress on learning foreign languages such as English, and usually the telecommunications companies and the education companies partner to provide mobile terminals with the contents such as video files. Recently the trend of mobile platforms for the educational contents have been changed because of the release the many kinds of smart phones like iPhone and Google Phone. In this paper, we design the educational contents for Korean listening education to aid to study Korean effectively as a foreign language. It carries out a detailed design to realize and run the contents based on the Android OS which is an open source platform backed by Google.

Most of the domestic educational mobile contents are concentrated on learning foreign languages like English and it's common to provide contents with mobile cellphone under partnership between mobile and education companies. In recently, the trend is that the mobile platform of educational contents is changing according to development of various smart phones like I-phone and Google-phone. In this paper, so, we implement listening contents for Korean education to support learning Korean as foreign language effectively. In detail, we implement the operation of contents based on android OS of Google open-type platform of smart phone.

Android that was made by Google and Open Handset Alliance is the open source software toolkit for mobile phone. In a few years, Android will be used by millions of Android mobile phones and other mobile devices, and become the main platform for application developers. In this paper, the integrated login application based on Google's Android platform is developed. The main features of the mobile combination login application content based on Android are as follows. First, the application has more convenient login functionality than the functionality of general web browser as the web browser of the mobile-based applications(web browser style applications) as well as security features and faster screen(view) capability by reducing the amount of data transfer. Second, the application is so useful for management of ID and Password, and it can easily manage multiple ID information such as message, mail, profile. The results of performance evaluation of the developed application show the functionality that can login many kinds of portal sites simultaneously as well as the ability that can maintain login continuously. Currently, we are trying to develope a couple of the technologies that can insert multiple accounts into one ID and check all information on one screen.

The existing note on mobile can store only text data and cannot share the data, which means that the notes stored on mobile are just seasonal or temporary memo. Therefore, this research designs an improved note on mobile and gives a chance for sharing by importing a concept of Mindmap and backup server through the internet. The mobile application is developed based on Android Platform and the server applications are developed based on Linux. These can communicate each other throughout the internet to upload and download some mindmap data.

Based on the case study methods, the study analyzes emergence and ensuing typology of global ebook platforms such as Google eBook, Amazon Kindle, iBooks Store. Global ebook platforms show adaptation process responding to rapidly changing digital technological envirment and it's fitness landscape. The critical elements in its emerging process are the distinct selection criteria, the degree of resource abundance and the search process based on open innovation. Based on these critical elements, the global platforms show speciation process, so called niche creation and are evolving into a variety of the typology based on the initial condition of key resource which makes the platform emerge and grow. Each global ebook platforms is evolving into open platform, hybrid platform, closed platform. Google eBook has openness and extensibility due to a variety of devices based on Android and a direct involvement of actors. Amazon Kindle has developed from a online bookstore and into the hybrid platform which have not only closed quality but also openness with ebook devices and mobile network. iBooks Store has developed into the closed platform through the agency model based on competitive hardwares and closed quality with iphone and ipad.

Google Android employs a security model based on application permissions to control accesses to system resources and components of other applications from a potentially malicious program. But, this model has security vulnerabilities due to lack of user comprehension and excessive permission requests by 3rd party applications. Broadcast intent message is widely used as a primary means of communication among internal application components. However, this mechanism has also potential security problems because it has no security policy related with it. In this paper, we first present security breach scenarios caused by inappropriate use of application permissions and broadcast intent messages. We then analyze and compare usage patterns of application permissions and broadcast intent message for popular applications on Android market and malwares, respectively. The analysis results show that there exists a characteristic set for application permissions and broadcast intent receiver that are requested by typical malwares. Based on the results, we propose a scheme to detect applications that are suspected as malicious and notify the result to users at installation time.

Android that was made by Google and Open Handset Alliance is the open source software toolkit for mobile phone. Nowadays, Smart phone users have been rapidly increasing, by that reason a lot of application contents have been released and especially contents which focus on user convenience have been developed. In this paper, we develop a new application content smart alarm based on Google Android flatform. The features of the developed content are as follows. First, users set their day's schedules. So they can notify easily what they have to do at the moment. Second, when users set their alarms not to forget several sequential tasks, they can set their schedules by not only alarm method but also timer method. In the performance evaluation, we show the results of simulation using AVD(Android Virture Device).
