Purpose of this study is enhancing usability of online video platform by analyze link-depth and advertisement frequency. In this study, researcher checked market share of video platform which publishing web-drama, and compare their link-depth and advertisement frequency. As a result, access to the latest content has two to three link-depth. So it does not worsen usability. but, if contents doesn't show on main page or search result, it requires more than five to six steps. Image advertisement show up more than twice on every platform. 'Youtube' and 'Naver TV' show up pre-roll video advertisement in video player before offering contents. In this video platform information structure, directory searching needs high link-depth level and advertisement frequency. It will increase user's bounce rate and decrease return visit rate. So researcher suggests prototype using drop-down menu to reduce link-depth and enhance information structure.

이 연구의 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째로는 전통적인 선박의 개념설계 과정에 처음으로 GUI 개념이 도입되었다. 둘째로는 특정 GUI tool을 선정함에 있어서 그래픽 표준이라는 개념이 적용되었다. 따라서 이글에서 소개된 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스는 다음과 같은 좋은 점들을 갖고 있다. 우선, 설계하고자 하는 대상이 가시화되고, 설계 과정 자체도 가시화되므로, 설계자의 생 산성을 향상시키게 된다. 또한, 대부분의 작업이 마우스로 처리되고, 특수한 명령을 기억할 필 요가 없으므로 개발된 설계 시스템을 쉽게 이용할 수 있다. 즉, 사용자 교육이 간단하며, 원활한 사용을 위하여 많은 경험을 요구하지 않는다. 이것도 설계 생산성의 향상을 가져오는 인자가 된다. 사용자 인터페이스의 구축에 있어서 표준화된 부품들을 사용하였으므로 다른 EWS 환경 에도 쉽게 이식이 된다. 이것은 장치 독립성 (device independence) 또는 이식성(portability)라고 하며, 여러 가지 서로 다른 컴퓨터시스템을 사용하는 환경에서 절대적으로 요구되는 요소이다. 현재까지 개발된 사용자 인터페이스에 앞으로 추가되어야 할 사항들은 다음과 같다. 우선 한글화 작업이 추가되어야 한다. 현재로서는 영문으로 된 메뉴들이 사용되고 있으나, 현재 GUI 컨소시 움을 중심으로 진행되는 한글화 작업이 이용될 수 있겠다. 한글로 된 사용자 인터페이스는 설 계자들에게 더욱 편리할 것이다. 또 한 가지 추가할 것은 3차원 그래픽 기능이다. 선박이라는 구조물을 가시화하기 위해서는 3차원 그래픽 기능이 이용되어야 하고, 이미 PHIGS와 같은 국 제표준이 많이 사용되고 있다. 개념설계 단계에서는 2차원 그래픽의 기능만으로도 충분한 역할을 수행할 수 있지만, 그 다음 단계인 기본설계나 상세설계와의 자료 공유를 생각하면, 3차원 그래 픽이 필요하다. 다만, 3차원 그래픽 기능을 추가하기 위해 많은 노력이 요구되는데, 현재 PHIG S와 x-window가 결합되어 PEX라는 라이브러리로 개발되고 있으므로 차후의 연구에 포함될 수 있을 것이며, 이 글에서는 간단한 2차원 그래픽 기능만을 이용하였다. 앞으로 PEX의 기능을 적 절히 구사하면, 좋은 효과를 볼 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, a new touch user interface which is based on the hand operations of dragging and diversion is presented. With it, convenience and quickness for inputting of texts as well as searching and selecting of multi-layered menus are improved. The new interface also applies relative coordinate systems which display texts on the touch positions corresponding to the moving of touch location. It accommodates more text codes than those in conventional fixed coordinate systems which allocates texts to fixed location on touch screen. The suggested interface is implemented to IPTV remote control and set-top box to prove its practicality and effectiveness.

In this study, the usability evaluation of a menu-structure was performed using spreading activation model with respect to human's memory retrieval. Spreading Activation Model is effectively used to understand the process of information retrieval, so it can be used as a theoretical background for modeling of the process of human's information retrieval. For spreading activation test (SAT), subjects were presented with 67 pairs of menu titles, which consist of a menu title in the high level menu item and a menu title for the next lower level menu item, from Korea University's web site. For performance tests, three scenarios were developed with longer reaction times and ambiguous associations found in the SAT to reflect the existing problems of the website. As a result, the SAT was found to bean effective tool to enhance the website usability because the SAT could bea substitute for the performance test with a high correlation $({\rho}=0.735,\;{\alpha}=0.05)$. After remaining menu titles with slow reaction times and ambiguous associations found in SAT, the website usability was significantly improved with faster reaction times and less ambiguous associations proven with smaller number of web-page visits. Therefore, the SAT could be used as a methodology to design and evaluate the user-centered menu structure related to human's association structure.

As products are getting more diverse and new products are entering the market faster, customers have trouble learning how to use them. User-oriented menu structures may solve this problem. In order to design user-oriented menu structures, spreading activation theory has been studied. The spreading activation test shows that the strong associative relationship between words has shorter response times. Based on the spreading activation test, asymmetric spreading activation was introduced and a hypothesis that in a well-designed menu structure, association between upper-low menu pairs is not affected by an activation direction was tested for this study. In this study the menu of a cellular phone (Model: SPH-w2900) was extracted, and underwent 1st spreading activation tests. Then, on each menu pair, response time differences (asymmetric transition) by accuracy and directions were analyzed to find out problems in labels and improve menu structures and vocabulary. Second spreading activation tests were conducted to check whether asymmetric transitions decreased. The results showed that response time differences (asymmetric transition) for activation directions were found to be dropped significantly. Asymmetric transitions in spreading activation presented in this study will be helpful to define user-oriented menu structures.

This study was designed to validate Spreading Activation Theory (SAT) for an evaluation methodology for menu structure through Eye-Tracking approach. When a visual search is on the way, more eye fixations and time are necessary to visually process complex and vague area. From the aspect of recognition, well-designed menu structures were hypothesized to have fewer numbers of fixations and shorter duration because well-designed menu structures reflecting the users' mental model would be well matched with the product's menu structure, resulting in reducing the number of fixations and duration time. The results show that the shorter reaction times for SAT had significantly fewer numbers of fixation and shorter duration time as the hypothesis for this study stated. In conclusion, SAT was proved to be an effective evaluation methodology for menu structure with the eye tracking equipment. In addition, using SAT instead of the real performance experiment would be useful for designing user-centered systems and convenient information structures because SAT was proven to be the theoretical background for design and evaluation of menu structures.
