The goal of this research is to understand the extent to which active seniors' mobile app usage level affects their lifestyle and life satisfaction. For this, we surveyed for 15 days in early December 2021 targeting about 150 users nationwide. As the questionnaire content, the independent variable was "mobile app usage level", the parameter was "lifestyle", and the dependent variable was "life satisfaction". As a result of empirical analysis, reliability and exploratory factors between each variable were verified, and it was confirmed that internal consistency was secured. It was investigated that the concentration validity of each item was generally well confirmed. As a result of hypothesis testing by the structural equation, 'App usage level ⇨ Lifestyle' was 0.244, 'Lifestyle ⇨ Life satisfaction' 0.707, and 'App usage level ⇨ Life satisfaction 0.141' was adopted. This study shows that the higher the level of mobile app usage of active seniors, the higher the lifestyle. Also, the better the lifestyle, the better the quality of life. It is analyzed that life satisfaction will improve as the level of mobile app use increases. Therefore, in order to improve life satisfaction, it seems necessary to increase the level of app use and lifestyle.

In development environment focused on computers, the ideas of app developring tool have been presented in terms of improved software productivity. Historically, for smart applications, app developing tools have not yet effectively developed or initiated locally or internationally. Therefore, developer have difficulty in studying developing process due to the difficulties of text based language. The basic concept of a new innovative App development tool, App Developing Tool, which has been proposed in this study and enables to apply on-site requirements to smart phones, is to develop Apps on the level using easy-to-learn Word or Excel in a computer. App developing tool is developed process focus instead of program focus by introducing SOA(Service-oriented Architecture) to develop reasonably reusable service units. Since service-oriented architecture allows reusing by service unit when there are changes in a specific process or service, it is possible to provide a new function by replacing the service instead of developing a new program.

The use of smartphones and the launch of various apps have increased exponentially, and malicious apps have also increased. Existing app recommendation systems have been limited to operate based on static information analysis such as ratings, comments, and popularity categories of other users who are online. In this paper, we first propose a robust app recommendation system that realistically uses dynamic information of apps actually used in smartphone and considers static information and dynamic information at the same time. In other words, this paper proposes a robust Android app recommendation system by partially reflecting the time of the app, the frequency of use of the app, the interaction between the app and the app, and the number of contact with the Android kernel. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed method proved to be a robust and efficient app recommendation system.

Mobile's health care and diagnostic capabilities are accepted as the most innovative sectors, and the combination with wearable device is being predicted as the future's most promising industries. However, the level of consumer acceptance and utilization is still insufficient compared to the development of technology. This study explores the use intention of wearable device based on previous studies about health apps. In particular, health-related use efficacy of the app, app use intention and app satisfaction are analyzed through a structural equation model. The use of health-related apps revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship with the use of the wearable device. The results suggest that the importance of app use efficacy, satisfaction, apps use should be considered for the successful diffusion of wearable health devices.

This paper empirically investigates the factors that influence the consumer choice of an app market based on the rational choice theory. The app market is the only channel where a consumer can buy smartphone apps, which give various functional convenience and are considered to be a major contributor to the proliferation of smartphones. Analyses of 281 questionnaires show that usability and structural guarantees as benefit factors significantly influence the app market choice. From the cost perspectives, both monetary and non-monetary conversion costs are found to significantly influence the app market choice. On the other hand, customer trust, information quality, and market image were found to have no significant effect on app market selection. In particular, Korean app market platform providers (KT, LG U +) seem to be superior in terms of structural guarantees, such as customer center operation and damage compensation regulations, compared to overseas app market platform operators (Google). However, in the case of the Google App Market, it is pre-installed on all Android phones, so it is not inconvenient to install additional apps to use other app market. This is disadvantageous to domestic app market platform operators, and it is necessary to establish a policy solution point. In terms of operator costs, both monetary and non-monetary conversion costs have a significant impact on app market choice. In particular, non-monetary conversion costs have a negative impact on Korean app market platform operators. It can be explained that the service expectation level of the domestic app market is low and it is recognized that the time cost factor such as membership is large for new users to use. It seems to be necessary to improve the domestic app market business. Meanwhile, extant research on smartphone apps focuses on the purchase of apps themselves, but not on the selection of the app market itself. In order to fill in this gap, this study focuses on the determinants of app market selection, including the characteristics of an app market and the switching costs.

광범위한 스마트폰의 보급으로 인해 관련 APP 시장 또한 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 많은 APP이 개발되고 있지만 대부분 특정 분야에 집중되어 있으며 교육용 APP이 시장에서 차지하고 있는 비율은 극히 낮다. 시장 비율이 낮은 이유는 기존 출시된 대다수의 교육용 APP이 가지는 두 문제점 때문이다. 첫 번째는 동일 콘텐츠의 반복학습으로 인해 재사용 빈도가 많이 낮고 자기주도학습 능력을 이끌어 낼 수 없다는 점이며 두 번째는 문제 제공 및 정답 확인의 단순 구조로 되어 있어 사용자가 자신의 수준 및 취약 부분을 분석하기 힘들다는 점이다. 본 논문은 스마트폰 환경에서 앞서 언급한 두 가지 문제점을 해결하기 위해 시스템 구조 변경 없이 콘텐츠 변경이 가능하며 사용자의 수준을 파악할 수 있는 기능을 가진 사용자 맞춤 교육을 위한 교육용 앱 설계에 대하여 제안한다.

This study investigates the factors that stimulate or suppress the use of food delivery applications. As potential antecedent factors, the present research examined the review diagnosticity, descriptive norms, and multidimensional risk perception. Based on this, users' data were collected from major metropolitan cities where the food delivery application business is most active. The results of structural equation modeling confirmed that users' approach to food delivery apps becomes more favorable when the review diagnosticity and descriptive norms were improved and when the perceived multidimensional risk expected to be associated with app use is mitigated. Additionally, we found that the positive influence of these attitudes on the actual intention to accept delivery applications became weaker at higher levels of perceived risk. These empirical results may contribute to the formation of strategic and systematic guidelines for promoting the expansion of the recently emerging O2O service platform across diverse sectors. Namely, the significance of this study lies in that it has raised awareness regarding the strategic considerations that such new O2O service providers should take into account for their market positions, in addition to discovering factors that could aid the prompt expansion of the applications' user base.
