Web-services employ XML that is the well-formed structure as a de-facto standard to represent data. SOAP or REST is one of the representative web-services using XML based massage passing systems. The XML parser can be divided into event driven and DOM tree. A streaming parser as an event driven is widely used for high-speed parsing. Since the streaming parser processes XML documents in sequence, they have any limitation to improve system performance. In order to improve speed of streaming XML parser, we present multibyte based streaming XML hardware parser using the element analyzer instead of the state machine. Compared to other parsers, the proposed MStreXHP can achieve about 2.72 times improvement in the number of clock cycles to be consumed in comparison of characters and sustain about 7.8Gbps throughput. Therefore, our MStreXHP is desirable for the streaming XML hardware parser on high-performance systems.

Though Android-based smart phones are being released in Korea, Korean TTS engine is not built on them and Google has not announced service or software developer's kit related to Korean TTS officially. Thus, application developers who want to include Korean TTS capability in their application have difficulties. In this paper, we design and implement Android OS-based Korean TTS system and service. For speed, text preprocessing and synthesis libraries are implemented using Android NDK. By using Java's thread mechanism and the AudioTrack class, the response time of TTS is minimized. For the test of implemented service, an application that reads incoming SMS is developed. The test shows that synthesized speech are generated in real-time for random sentences. By using the implemented Korean TTS service, Android application developers can transmit information easily through voice. Korean TTS service proposed and implemented in this paper overcomes shortcomings of the existing restrictive synthesis methods and provides the benefit for application developers and users.

As a form of reciprocity or exchange, gift giving is one of the processes that integrate a society. There has been a long history of research on gift giving behavior in the communication area. Recently with the advent of digital environment, digital contents gift giving behavior became a prevalent social custom. But there has been little research of an individual consumer's consumption behavior of digital contents gift giving. Drawing on the innovation theory, technology acceptance model, and gift giving literature, the author take a quantitative approach to the effect of innovation attributes on mobile coupon gift giving behavior. The result showed that innovation attribute did positive influence to mobile coupon gift giving behavior. Furthermore, consumer innovation attribute moderate in the relationship between product innovation and mobile gift giving attitude.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of mobile health intervention for employees with diabetes. The study subjects were 101 employees having fasting blood glucose over 100 mg/dL. The study participants were educated to check their blood sugar before meals every day, and received text messages to help improve general lifestyle habits for blood sugar, diet, and exercise for 12 weeks. There was a sufficient difference in blood sugar, body mass index and blood pressure before and after the intervention. As a result, fasting blood glucose(129.38±1.95 to 123.63±1.82) decreased(P<0.001). Body mass index(26.20±0.29 to 25.81±0.28, P<0.000), diastolic blood pressure(124.60±1.03 to 122.56±1.05, P<0.032), and systolic blood pressure(79.86±0.83 to 78.06±0.79, P<0.017) decreased, which were also statistically significant. It is expected that this study will be used as basic data to develop a self care program by using mobile and apply it to employees with diabetes.

As the number of elderly people living alone has been increasing in the recent years, systems for their safety have been required, and some related services or pilot systems have been operating. These systems provide the monitoring service for the activities of the elderly people living alone with indoor location tracking technology using the various sensors. However, most systems provide services on expensive infrastructure such as attached tags and mobile devices. In this point, this paper attempts to suggest a system based on low cost sensors to collect event data in home environment. And a main characteristic of the system is that people can monitor the results of provided services through web browser in real time and the system can provide related context information to guardians and health care managers through SMS of mobile phone.

Recently, As the increase in interaction between the person and the person, the people plentifully use a messenger. Thus, we propose a new messenger program, we call Hellow Fellow Messenger. The hollow fellow messenger has functions of general messenger such as chatting, note exchange, friend addition. Also, hollow fellow messenger provide with special function, which find friends satisfied conditions in PDA and PC environment. So, Client can find not only friend who is register already but also friend who is the possibility of seeing a movie and can comfortably talk together and so on. For this, server sends information for users satisfied in condition from databases to client and client selects a user among received information for users. Client-server communication is implemented using MFC[1].

This paper presents a Web-based interactive and adaptive learning system that helps students learn the pumping lemma for the family of regular languages. Our system allows the students to proceed with their learning according to their individual differences through Web-Based Instruction and gives them opportunities for the interaction so that they can practice exercise related to the learning and gain feedbacks on the results of the exercises immediately. Especially, the system provides adaptive scaffolding that helps learners understand each step for the proof of the pumping lemma. Unlike existing systems that support learning the pumping lemma, the proposed system defines possible errors in advance and provides appropriate messages for corresponding errors. In addition, the system allows the learners to decompose a string into three parts so that they can understand the pumping lemma precisely.

In 2017, Korea has reached 1.3 million elderly people living alone. The government is promoting the basic care service for the elderly by using care workers to check the security of the elderly living alone. However, due to lack of service personnel and service usage rate of elderly care workers, it is difficult to manage. To improve these environmental constraints, this study attempted to construct a monitoring system for elderly people living alone by using sensors such as temperature, humidity, motion detection, and gas leak detection. The sensor periodically collects the current status data of the elderly and sends them to the server, creates a real time graph based on the data, and monitors it through the web. In the monitoring process, when the sensor is out of the range of the specified value, it sends a warning text message to the guardian to inform the current situation, and is designed and implemented so as to support the safety life of the elderly living alone.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of preparatory nursing information and information offering by SMS on anxiety and nursing satisfaction among family members of ICU (Intensive Care Unit) inpatients. It utilized a quasi-experimental research design with a non-equivalent and non-synchronized control group. Methods: The experimental group and the control group were offered a booklet guiding ICU and were offered face-to-face information by nurses using Power Point. The experimental group was additionally offered SMS (short message service) message on patient's safety at night every morning during the hospital stay between 8 and 9 am. All participants in the experimental group and the control group were measured in reference to anxiety at the point of hospitalization and were surveyed anxiety and nursing satisfaction on the third day of hospital stay. Results: The anxiety demonstrated no significant difference between the groups, while the nursing satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group than that of the control group. Conclusion: Proving direct information and indirect information via SMS message were considered effective in improving the family member's satisfaction with nursing care. The frequencies of SMS message and the contents of the message and information need to be defined and specified in the given population.
