Current mobile content's classifications have two major problems. One violates a principle of classification and the other reveals limitations in dealing with various convergence services. This study proposes a new mobile content's classification system to resolve these problems by adapting Al Ries's principle of symmetric and asymmetric transition. Symmetric mobile contents take a form of mutation in convergence process; therefore, the contents would appear different from their originals whereas asymmetric type combines mobile contents in an autonomous way. This new system not only demonstrates a clearer classification but also implies the trend of mobile content development and services. The current suggests that symmetric type is preferable and symmetric type of mobile contents is re-developed to become a symmetric type as much as the technology can support. Nonetheless, it is found that asymmetric type would still be serviced to some extent. Thus, new mobile content's classification, proposed in this research, provides a more constructive understating of mobile content's directions in the era of digital convergence and a ground for comparative analysis of mobile content's development or positioning strategies.

최근 온라인게임, e-Book, 모바일콘텐츠, 포털 등 IT 기반의 새로운 서비스 산업으로서 디지털콘텐츠 산업이 급성장하고 있다. 또한, 과거 엔터테인먼트 위주의 콘텐츠산업이 미래에는 제조, 서비스를 포함한 전 산업영역에 체화융합되어 확산되고, CT 및 IT 기반의 새로운 콘텐츠 산업이 급성장할 것으로 전망되는 등 융합형 콘텐츠에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 정부에서도 신성장동력으로서의 융합형 콘텐츠 산업에 주목하여, 관련 산업을 발굴육성하는데 정책적 관심을 기울이고 있다. 기존의 콘텐츠 분류체계는 영화, 음악, 방송 등 장르 중심적이어서 관련 기술의 발전 및 융합현상을 제대로 반영하지 못하는 한계점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 미래 정책추진의 기반(base)로서 효과적으로 활용되고, 콘텐츠 분야의 외연확장을 포괄하는 새로운 분류체계(taxonomy)의 정립이 요구되는 상황이다. 이에 본 고에서는 미래 정책추진 및 산업활성화에 초점을 맞추어 기존 분류체계의 한계점을 극복하는 차세대 융합형 콘텐츠 산업에 대한 새로운 분류체계를 제시하고자 한다.

This paper is about adult certification on Mobile RFID Service Environments coming through the combination of RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technology, as the core technology of ubiquitous environments, and mobile telecommunication technology. To overcome the shortcoming of simple adult certification on current internet, we suggest a framework for content-based classification and propose an adult certification system using it. At first, we explain conventional methods for adult certification, and show a criteria of content-based classification for preventing an exposure of adult contents from minors. Additionally, we describe data structure and system for the proposed adult certification on mobile RFID environment, and finish it with concluding remarks.

The paradigm of communication is changing by the generalization of mobile computers and the extension of network service. In the mobile messenger communication, people are increasingly using character emoticons to substitute linear text. This means that the character emoticons are functioning as narrative characters so that they are becoming the nonlinear techno-code, which can substitute for the alphabet code. As Vil$\acute{e}$m Flusser said, the post-modern communication is arrived. In this kind of communication, storytelling with character emoticons are effective enough to tell various stories. In this point of view, this paper tries to prove the functions of character emoticons and suggests the classification of the character emoticon series. This paper also structures the post-modern communication model as a new paradigm of visual communication.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is one of the technologies which represent the core value of the creative economy. It has served as a vehicle connecting the existing industry and corporate infrastructure, developing existing products and services and creating new products and services. In addition to the ICT, new devices including big data, mobile gadgets and wearable products are gaining a great attention sending an expectation for a new market-pioneering. Further, Internet of Things (IoT) is helping solidify the ICT-based social development connecting human-to-human, human-to-things and things-to-things. This means that the manufacturing-based hardware development needs to be achieved simultaneously with software development through convergence. The essential element the convergence between hardware and software is OS, for which world's leading companies such as Google and Apple have launched an intense development recognizing the importance of software. Against this backdrop, the status-quo of the software market has been examined for the study of the present report (Korea Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology: Professional Design Technology Development Project). As a result, the software platform-based Google's android and Apple's iOS are dominant in the global market and late comers are trying to enter the market through various pathways by releasing web-based OS and similar OS to provide a new paradigm to the market. The present study is aimed at finding the way to utilize a smart content by which anyone can be a developer based on OS responding to such as social change, newly defining a smart content to be universally utilized and analyzing the market to deal with a rapid market change. The study method, scope and details are as follows: Literature investigation, Analysis on the app market according to a smart classification system, Trend analysis on the current content market, Identification of five common trends through comparison among the universal definition of smart content, the status-quo of application represented in the app market and content market situation. In conclusion, the smart content market is independent but is expected to develop in the form of a single organic body being connected each other. Therefore, the further classification system and development focus should be made in a way to see the area from multiple perspectives including a social point of view in terms of the existing technology, culture, business and consumers.

Various efforts are being made to live a Green life began to recognize an importance of eco-friendly living. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a mobile-based environmental keeping education service, which is offered well-defined category searching and environmental outreach related designed categories, for the purpose of supporting distribution of educational application. The implemented prototype system not only plays a function of environmental pollution report, related to simple environmental stewardship schemes, but also provides environmental monitoring service and integrated educational system supporting certified online volunteer activity. This study provides an one of famous methods to the youth for environmental monitoring education system based on mobile environments, and suggests an improvement to the environmental education for schools students.

Participatory budgeting has been introduced and proliferated with differentiated types by Local Finance Act which had been revised in 2011. This study aims to classify the types of Participatory Budgeting by participatory institutions and participatory levels and suggest the implications. We have reviewed the participatory budgeting operation ordinances, operating plans and operating systems of 243 local governments. And the participatory budgeting can be divided into five types. First, submission of opinion type found in 100 local governments is characterized by operating without participatory institutions. Second, commission type found in 85 local governments is characterized by having only participatory budgeting committee. Third, regional meeting type found in 21 local governments is characterized by having participatory budgeting committee and regional meeting or only regional committee. Fourth, public-private partnership type found in 30 local governments is characterized by having citizen-government meeting. Fifth, delegated power type found in 7 local governments is characterized by having policy fair or mobile voting, or both. Analysis showed that institutionalization levels of participatory budgeting is not high because many local governments(76.5%) are belong to submission of opinion type or commission type in South Korea. For developing participatory budgeting, participatory institutions, such as citizen-government meetings, policy fair or mobile voting, should be adopted and proliferated in more and more local governments.
