요즘 스마트폰을 사용하는 사람의 수가 늘어감에 따라 무분별한 스마트폰 사용으로 인한 스마트폰 중독의 사태가 일어나고 있다. 특히, 본인이 스마트 폰을 소유 하지는 않지만 부모의 스마트 폰을 가지고 사용하는 영유아들은 자제력이 부족할 뿐만 아니라 중독의 위험이 청소년이나 어른들보다 높은 실정이다. 스마트폰을 직접 소유한 10대 청소년뿐만 아니라, 어른들 역시 무분별한 스마트폰 사용으로 일상생활에 지장이 많다. 본 논문에서는 자제력이 부족한 청소년이나 어른들에게 스스로 사용시간 설정을 통하여 무분별한 스마트폰의 사용시간을 자제 시킬 수 있는 스마트폰 사용제한 어플리케이션을 설계하고 구현하였다.

Participants included 570 students attending universities in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Chungnam areas using self-report questionnaires. Data was analyzed with SPS 23.0 using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, hierarchical multiple regression, and Sobel test with SPSS 23.0. The study results were as follows: first, as smartphone addiction increased, subjective happiness decreased (${\beta}=-.17$, p<.001). Second, as smartphone addiction increased, resiliency decreased (${\beta}=-.24$, p<.001). Third, as resilience increased, subjective happiness increased (${\beta}=.36$, p<.001). Fourth, resiliency partially mediated the relationship between smartphone addiction and subjective happiness (Z=-4.645, p<.001), and explained 16% of the variance. Findings show that resiliency can play a role in improving subjective happiness of university students. Finally, the implications and limitations of findings were discussed based on the results.

In recent years, in accordance with the rapidly increasing number of smartphone users, various social problems have started to occur. Examples of these problems are the overuse of smartphones and bad usage habits of smartphone users that can cause new social problems such as smartphone addiction and other smartphone related diseases. With the aim of preventing these social problems, this paper proposes a new smartphone addiction and disease prevention system. This system was developed by collecting and analyzing smartphone usage patterns. This proposed system analyzes the usage patterns and working hours of smartphone users in real time. If the detected smartphone usage patterns reach a dangerous level, the system will send warning messages to the user. This will enable users to recognize the unhealthy situation in advance by themselves. In addition, this solution could possibly prevent smartphone addiction and other smartphone related illness by preventing overuse and encouraging abstinence from using smartphones to the extent that it becomes harmful to the user.
