Ubiquitous computing is a study area explained in a myriad of contexts and technological terms. Payment, however, refers in nature to an act of money transfer from one entity to another, and it is obvious that a payment method will be valued as long as the transaction can be completed with safety no matter what technology was used. The key to U-payment is convenience and security in the transfer of financial information. The purpose of this paper is to find a desirable U-payment scheme by looking at the characteristics of seamlessness under the ubiquitous environments, strong personal device, and peer-based information transactions. We also propose U-SDT Protocol integrating technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth, Personal Payment Device, Account Managing Application and Transaction ID as a way to make transactions between users seamless and secure better privacy protection.

Currently most of leak detection monitoring systems use digital maps with paying royalties, and this increases the cost of system construction and financial burdens on local self-governing bodies that manage such systems. Moreover, they have inefficiencies in repair and maintenance, functional expansion, and compatibility with other systems. Thus, this study developed a waterworks pipe network monitoring system that pursues low cost and high efficiency using general-purpose maps on the Internet such as google maps. As this system uses highly compatible free maps, it costs less in construction and its hardware requirements are lower than existing systems, and consequently, overall monitoring performance is enhanced and the cost of construction goes down sharply. This study also proposed a method for pipeline DB construction, which can be started together with the construction of the monitoring system, in order to improve the field applicability of the system.

This study is focused on analyzing the characteristics of repeat foreign tourists to Korea and suggest how to increase the repeat ratio. As the result of analysis, there were significant differences in the variables of sex, age, country in the case of demographic characteristics and in the variables of travel types, the number of company, the purpose of visit, accommodations, major visiting places and visiting areas in the case of travel characteristic. And also there were significant differences in the variables of accommodation fees per person and expenses per person in their own country in the case of travel expenses and in the variables of immigration formalities, public transportations, accommodations, foods, shopping, tourist attractions and security in the case of satisfaction. Lastly there were significant differences in the variables of revisit intention within 3 years, recommendation intention, the image of Korea(before trip) and the image of Korea(after trip) in the case of behavior intention after trip and image evaluation. Therefore it should be considered the characteristics of repeat foreign tourists when we make the tourism products to increase the repeat ratio.

Currently financial support for vocational skills development training is provided based on the NCS standard unit price set according to the NCS occupational classification. Such a standard unit price system has the advantage of reducing administrative burdens required in managing the training levy-grant system. In this paper, it is pointed out that current unit price system may distort the social integration function of vocational training policy as it is based on the tuition fees of training course. As a basis for finding a more appropriate financial support system, we analyzed what factors are influencing the training course fees set by training institutions. As a result, it was confirmed that the monopolistic nature of the training courses or the high level of willingness of pay of training participants influenced the training course fees. Therefore, the necessity of removing the influence of such factors from unit price system was suggested so as that the training policy contributes to the social integration. Furthermore, it is required to establish new support criteria centered on the government's policy judgment if the training costs of all training courses cannot be exactly estimated.

The paper describes implementation of smartphone edition based on embedded Linux, which is composed of smartphone middleware and basic applications. Existing smartphone platforms entails loyalty expenses and has difficulties on customization due to the closed policy of their source codes. Although GPE - based on embedded Linux has solved the loyalty issues, other problems are remained unsolved. Since GPE has been designed for relatively large PDA-level devices, applications are generally inoperable under the condition of small LCD size and input methods without touch-screen; the condition is typical limitations of the smartphones. In the implemented smartphone edition of the paper no loyalty is required, because the smartphone edition is based on embedded Linux. It also supports keypad-only operating functionality such as moving between folders or running applications with operations. Besides, it provides more user-friendly environment to use the smartphone editionscreen interfaces and indicatorsto those of the regular cellular phones.

The fusion stream of recent broadcasting and communication make multimedia content served in the area of broadcasting into IPTV service which transmits it through high-speed internet, cable TV net and satellite net in realtime. However, as the digital broadcasting service is extended to various media, the security of IPTV service content provided to users by service provider is not fully supported by CAS(Conditional Access System) provided by existing broadcasting system. This paper proposes interactive certification protocol which can efficiently distinguish the receiving-qualification of user between Set-Top Box and Smart Card which are parts of configurations for IPTV system. The proposed protocol uses hash function to make Set-Top Box transmit receiving-qualification about the channel fee which user pays more properly than existing protocol. Also, the proposed protocol uses session key generated between receiver and smart card through inter certification process and encrypts EMM not the service to be used by anyone illegally.

This study aims to analyze in depth the operation of the Public Lending Right(PLR) system that is implemented in 34 countries in the world in order to propose the ideal operation of PLR system. The PLR system is that authors receive payment because they lose the sales opportunities due to the loan of their books by libraries. Among 34 countries implementing the PLR system, 31 are European countries and 20 countries enforce the copyright law for the operation of the PLR system. Fund for the PLR is financed by the budget of the central government in 25 countries and payments are made on the basis of loans data in 20 countries. Writers, illustrators, translators are eligible to receive payments in many countries. 17 countries provide payments to the authors who have contributed to books lent out by libraries.

Every CP has its own contents classification system for charging. Currently most classification system is based on the CPID and Service ID of the WAP. An service ID from a common CPID pool is provided to CP for each service. Then charges are computed for each service ID. But in this system CPID range must be changed whenever the CP adds a new service. Therefore all CPIDs of the existing services must be updated. Another problem is that when a CP provides several services, it has multiple CPIDS. Therefore with increasing number of services CPID would be exhausted in the future. In this paper, we proposes a new contents ,classification system. We remove CPID range and instead we propose a new CPID composed of a system n, service classification ID and a serial number. The new CPID is assigned to each service. By this scheme we improve the contents classification system.

Ansim Flat DATA Plan is a DATA additional service product related to DATA call in a mobile telephone company A. Up to now, the company A is selling it by outbound TM after targeting customers which used data within specific price band. In this paper, we propose a targeting method applying score model combining response rate and retention rate by data mining. The suggested target model is to find customers more likely not only to respond to outbound TM but also to retain Ansim Flat DATA Plan. The proposed targeting method is expected to improve both from 23.7% to 38.8% in the response rate and from 53.2% to 61.4% in the retention rate.

다목적댐의 레크레이션 편익은 수자원 관리 측면에서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그러나, 레크레이션 편익의 중요성에도 불구하고 이에 대한 충분한 고려없이 댐의 관리와 다목적댐에 대한 평가가 이루어진 결과 경쟁적인 물의 용도간 부적정한 유량배분의 결과를 초래하고 있었다. 최근 비록 시범적이지만 하천의 환경개선을 위해 다목적댐의 flusing 방류가 이루어지고 잇는 점도 댐의 기능이 점차 확장되어 가고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 다목적댐의 레크레이션 편익에 대한 인식은 효율적인 수자원 관리뿐만 아니라 레크레이션 이외의 다목적댐의 다른 용도의 진실된 가치 및 효율성을 확보하기 위해 어떻게 효율적으로 시간의 흐름에 따라 다목적댐의 저수(貯水)가 방류되어야 하는지에 대한 이해로 연결된다. 다목적댐의 레크레이션 편익 측정은 댐의 역할에 대한 진정한 평가가 될 수 있으며 그동안 간과되어 왔던 댐 건설로 인해 가능하게 된 레크레이션 기회를 가치화하는 시도가 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 조건부가치측정법(Contingent Valuation Method, CVM)을 이용하여 서울과 춘천지역을 대상으로 표본에 대한 설문조사와 함께 집중그룹인터뷰(Focus Group Interview, FGI)를 통해 소양강댐의 레크레이션 편익을 측정하였다. 서울은 소양강댐의 하류지역에 위치하면서 일반적으로 소양강댐의 건설로 인해 가장 큰 혜택을 누리는 지역이며 춘천지역은 소양강댐의 주변지역으로 소양강댐의 건설로 인해 가장 많은 피해를 입는 지역으로 여겨지고 있어 양 지역에서 느끼는 소양강댐에 대한 인식은 매우 독특할 것이라는 기대와 함께 댐으로 인한 레크레이션은 댐 저수지뿐만 아니라 댐 하류 하천 전체에 걸쳐 이루어지기 때문에 댐 저수지 지역인 춘천과 댐 하류지역인 서울을 대상지역으로 삼았다. 4개의 시나리오를 적용한 결과 소양강댐의 연간 레크레이션 편익은 235억원$\sim$913억원으로 추정되어 소양강댐의 주요 기능인 용수공급이나 발전에 따른 편익과 비교할 때도 결코 작지 않은 편익을 보여주고 있다. 아울러, 일반적으로 댐 건설로 인한 피해자로 인식되고 있는 하천의 상류지역인 댐 주변지역에 거주하는 사람들의 지불의사액(Willingness to Pay, WTP)이 댐의 수혜자로 인식되는 하류지역에 거주하는 사람들의 WTP보다 크다는 것과 댐 주변지역에 거주하는 사람들은 댐에 대하여 양 극단적인 태도, 즉 강한 애착과 강한 반감을 함께 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 레크레이션 기능이 댐의 주요 기능으로 고려되어야 하는 가에 대한 해답을 줄 수 있는데, 그동안 댐의 레크레이션 편익 측정을 어렵게 하였던 댐의 레크레이션 편익의 개념화를 통해 편익이 측정 가능하며 소양강댐의 경우 다른 목적의 물 사용 용도보다 편익이 클 수 있기 때문에 향후 다목적댐의 주요 기능을 확장할 필요성을 보여준다. 또한, 레크레이션 편익을 어떻게 내재화(內在化)하여야 하는지에 대한 향후 연구의 필요성도 제기한다.
