This study covers the results obtained after three years of development work of real - time gas safety monitoring app. In order to reduce the risk of accidents in the gas workplace, it is essential to provide information so that operators can recognize the location of dangerous substances, dangerous facilities, safety procedures, and the temperature and humidity of the workplace. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop a monitoring app that allows the main system to efficiently receive the information in the field where the information is continuously updated. As a result of quantitative and qualitative research and analysis on app scenarios based on the research done in the past and web screen of the main system, it was modified and improved in terms of ease of use, readability, and intuitiveness. Especially, we made many improvements at low depth, which is a sub-area of ease of use. As a result of conducting a user satisfaction survey on the finally derived app scenarios, the average score of 98.5 was obtained in terms of functionality, convenience and readability.

Thanks to diffusions of mobile devices and advances of network technologies, demands for mobile app have been increased dramatically. It has resulted in mobile app industries as well as mobile app authoring tools are facing a crisis over subordinate to specific OS and platform such as iOS, Android and Apple App Store. Because these particular OS and platforms are obstacles to overcome for supporting interoperability and compatibility. In this study, we have conducted expert interviews and surveys to analyze status of mobile app markets and needs for mobile app user and developer. As a result, mobile app based on HTML5 leads to interconnect various mobile devises without additional efforts. Thereby, mobile app user and developer take a positive view of HTML5. However, mobile app developers tend to have the technical path dependence, they especially in venture and small enterprises need to government support for professional manpower training.

According to the changes of the mobile environments, the usage and interest of the Android apps have been increased. But the usage of illegally-copied apps has been also increased. And the transparency and dependability of the app markets has been decreased. Therefore there are many cases for the copyright infringement of app developers. Although several methods for preventing illegally-copied apps have been studied, there may exist possible ways to bypass the methods. Since it is difficult to find out the first distributors of the illegally-copied apps, it is not easy to punish them legally. This paper proposes the method of detecting illegally-copied apps. The proposed detector can detect the illegally-copied apps using odex file, which is created when the app is installed. The detector can also find out the information of the first distributors based on forensic watermark technique. Since the illegally-copied app detector is running as a service on the system server, it is granted that the detector hides from the users. As an experiment result, the illegally-copied app detector takes on average within 0.2 seconds to detect and delete an illegally-copied app.

본 논문에서는 MIT에서 개발한 앱인벤터 2 서버를 자체적으로 구축하여 서비스를 제공하고, 자체 서버에서 안드로이드 앱을 개발하는 과정을 분석한다. 앱인벤터 2는 프로그래밍 언어를 배우지 않은 사람도 원하는 기능의 스마트폰의 앱을 개발할 수 있는 공개 소프트웨어로 초증등 학생들의 창의 및 논리적 사고 형성에 많은 도움을 주고 있는 교육적이면서 기능적으로 확장성이 뛰어난 전 세계적인 도구이다. 하지만 지금 사용되고 있는 앱 인벤터 2 는 MIT 사이트에 접속하여야 하며, 구글 크롬 브라우저에서 작동이 되고, 구글 메일 ID를 생성해 로그인을 해야 함으로, 만 14세 미만은 사용할 수가 없다. 이러한 앱인벤터 2를 자체적인 서버로 구축하여 로컬 서비스를 함으로써 이러한 단점을 보완한다.

스마트폰의 보급률이 폭발적으로 증가하고 있으며, 모바일OS 중 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 것은 안드로이드이다. 안드로이드의 스토어에는 100만개가 넘는 앱이 존재하고, 그 중 대다수를 차지하고 있는 것이 무료 앱이다. 무료 앱은 장치 고유의 키를 사용하여 암호화 시켜 접근을 제어하는 유료 앱과 달리, 스마트폰에 설치 된 후 앱에 대한 접근 방지책이 없어 접근에 취약하다. 본 논문에서는 무료 앱 접근에 대한 취약성을 분석하고 무료앱의 파일을 보호할 수 있는 대응방안을 마련하였다.

Mobile applications are software systems running on handheld devices, such as smartphones, PDAs, tablets and so on. The market of mobile application has rapidly expanded in the past few years. In this paper, we present a novel approach to track smartphone application usage from a event logs on the mobile device and analyzed both on client system and usage analysis server. We implemented our client system on Android device based usage analytics platform. Based on the analysis server system, we obtained over 47,000 user base, and we get the user's app usage informations on realtime. In this paper, we describe a large scale deployment-based research for a smartphone usage patterns and usage information visualization techniques.

The purpose of this study is to compare the types and capabilities of smartphone apps related to tea, coffee, wine and beer. As a result of examining the capabilities of 200 tea, coffee, wine and beer apps from Apple App Store, 17 types of capabilities were identified. The study found no significant difference in the capabilities of tea and coffee apps, but there was a significant difference in the capabilities of tea and wine apps, and tea and beer apps (p<0.01). Entertainment-oriented apps take up a higher proportion of tea-related apps while wine apps, provide a higher proportion of consumer usability-oriented apps such as finding information about wine, writing notes about wine characteristics, finding nearby shops/cafes. In order to increase practical use of tea-related apps, this study proposes capabilities of coffee, wine, and beer apps as examples and presents app menu to promote development of tea-related apps.

The objective of this study is to identify the relationships among app attribution(perceived usefulness, design, information quality, and mobility), user satisfaction, trust, and continuous use intention of bus information apps; The structural equation of AMOS 21.0 was used to test the hypothesis of this study. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, perceived usefulness, design, information quality, and mobility positively impact user satisfaction. Second, only mobility has a positive effect on trust, but the remaining perceived usefulness, design, and information quality have no effect at the significance level of 5%. Third, user satisfaction has a positive impact on trust and continuous use intention. Fourth, trust has a positive impact on continuous use intention. Therefore, it was confirmed that the characteristics of the bus information mobile app are important influencing factors for the improvement of user satisfaction, trust, and continuous use intention. Local governments and bus companies will be able to establish strategic directions for the activation of bus information mobile apps. The limitation of this study is that it is somewhat lacking in generalizing the study results, so future research needs to focus on improving this part.
