With the multiplex and wide release strategy, the monopolies of four major distribution companies and three multiplex chain, the polarization of Korean movie's Box Office performance is deepening. The four major distributor of NEW, CJ CGV, Lotte Cinema distributed 290 movies of 538 movies produced from 2009 to 2014 in Korea. The audience market share of these four distributors is 85.74%, while other 248 movies covers only 14.26%, which are distributed by outsides of the four major distribution system. The concentration of film admission has been deepened in Gini Index from 0.53 in 2004 to 0.85 in 2014. The movies distributed by others rather than four major companies suffers inequality in numbers of secured screens, screening times, and secured seats of movie theaters. In the highest 10% of box-office ranking, there is only one movie distributed by others. The lowest 50% of box-office ranking, there are 186 movies by others, while four companies have 81 movies. However, Occupancy rate of seat of major companies is lower than 16.83% of that of the others in the lowest 50% section. Workers of Korean movie industry are suffered from this polarization and they seek their breakthrough by producing erotic movies for VOD in recent years.

This paper proposes PredFeed Net, a neural network model that mimics the food distribution of fish farming experts. Unlike existing food distribution automation systems, PredFeed Net predicts food distribution by learning the food distribution patterns of experts. This has the advantage of being able to learn using only existing environmental data and food distribution records from food distribution experts, without the need to experiment by changing food distribution variables according to the environment in an actual aquarium. After completing training, PredFeed Net predicts the next food ration based on the current environment or fish condition. Prediction of feed ration is a necessary element for automating feed ration, and feed ration automation contributes to the development of modern fish farming such as smart aquaculture and aquaponics systems.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of distributors on the movie exhibition by distributor types. For the analysis, the concept 'screen elasticity of box office' is adopted. Using the weekly screening data of 94 hit movies released in Korea in 2014 and 2015, the panel analysis estimates the 'screen elasticity of box office' with the Hausman-Taylor estimator. The results show that the screen elasticity of box office is smaller for vertically integrated distributors(CJ E&M and Lotte Entertainment) and Hollywood distributors than the local distributors(Showbox and NEW) that do not own integrated cinemas. This means that exhibitors allocate a larger number of screens to vertically integrated distributors and Hollywood distributors. As the two distributor groups had higher market share during the period, the results imply that the screen elasticity is related to the market performance of distributors. Smaller screen elasticity of the vertically integrated distributors might be related not to the ownership to theaters but to higher market share of the distributors.

Nowadays, the interests about medical service and health concerting, in other words "Healthcare",are increasing. For healthcare, one of the most convenient and populated methods is taking nutritional supplements like vitamin everyday. According to social currency, we realize ' Automatic Pill Dispenser (APD)' in order to make the storage of pills easy and to help people take pills steadily periodically. First, the APD alerts at the time when the user sets. To prevent polluting pills, if the ultrasonic sensor recognizes user hands, and then after the APD distributes pills through activating the motor. If there are more the APDs, for example, hospitals can manage manpower more efficiently. Furthermore, If it is recorded which and how much pills are distributed automatically, It can be expected that people can take the pills more efficiently and healthfully.

본 연구에서는 다양성영화의 온라인 배급 사례를 분석하였다. 영화의 온라인유통은 일반적으로 극장상영 이후에 매체의 다양화를 통한 수익의 확대 측면에서 이루어지나, 다양성영화의 온라인 유통은 현실적으로 유일한 유통배급망일 경우가 많다. 이 연구는 다양성영화의 온라인 유통양상을 분석하여 다양성영화에 적절한 온라인 배급 형태를 고찰하는 것을 목표로 하였다.

We examined the annual film distribution portfolio of a Korean film distributor, Lotte Entertainment, investigating how the company puts big-budget films and low-budget movies together. As a result, the distributor was found to invest more than 80% of its whole budget in producing medium-size movies. The more successful box office, however, was witnessed from big-budget films that the company spent more than 6 billion Korean wons. With respect to genre, comedy and drama were the most and second-most frequently produced. However, Those two genres were not the most successful genres in the box office. Korean movie-goers favored actions and thriller the most and second most. Comedy took only the third place of the Korean box office, signifying a discord between the portfolio and the Korean box office.

This study investigates a comprehensive context between the vertical integration and concentration of Korean film market. The concentration of distribution and screening markets are result of industrial strategy to defend demand uncertainty and to pursue economies of scale. Major distributors are increasingly inclined to defend industrial risk by concentrating resources on blockbusters and bargaining power of the multiplex is getting strengthened by distribution competition to secure as many screens as possible. Vertically integrated multiplexes operate discriminatory preferential treatment to their affiliates, however, there is a difference in degree of discrimination between vertically integrated groups. Furthermore, it is difficult to exclude each other from the distribution competition in which the largest screen number has to be secured. It is difficult for multiplex only to pursue the interests of affiliates and make negative choices in screening performance. As the number of screening screens increases, the seat occupancy also increases. As a result, the polarization of the distribution and screening markets, including the screen monopoly, is a phenomenon that occurs commercial films centered markets and the unfair behavior of the vertically affiliated multiplex has a limited effect on the movie market.

This raper analyzes the effect of visually lossless image compression for efficient distribution of digital cinema. Currently, distribution of digital cinema is carried out based on JPEG 2000 standard that has been selected by DCI. We first summarize characteristics of JPEG 2000, and then define the concept of visually lossless coding that plays an important role in digital cinema distribution. We provide a test for JPEG 2000 compression performance according to DCI specification for visually lossless. Based on the experiment, the result satisfies high quality for cinema distribution.

The purpose of this essay is to check what are the problems of the current Korean independent films and to find the solutions for effective circulation of the Korean independent films in terms of its intimacy to public. For this, I would like to define 'independent film' and 'its ambiguous distinction', and then I presented the current issues of the Korean independent films and suggested the alternatives of the effective circulation of its production and distribution. Independent films can be defined through our understanding and identification, and it is significant of mutual communication with the audience, so that I will classify the cases of box office of the independent films. The effectiveness of production can be suggested by lower budget and many financial supports, and the effectiveness of distribution is to have many occasions to release, to benefit with them and to release in many festivals. The effort of independent filmmakers, mutual communication between filmmakers and the audience, and the official supporting system will make it possible for effective production and distribution. With this possibility, the future of Korean independent film will be bright.
