Smart hand-held devices like iPhone, iPad, Andriod and other mobile-OS machines are becoming a well known part of our daily lives. Utilization of these devices has gone beyond the expectations of their inventors. Evolution of Apple's iOS from a mobile phone Operating System to a wholesome platform for Portable Gaming is an adequate proof. Using these smart devices people are downloading applications from numerous online App Stores. Utilizing remote storage facilities and confining themselves to computing power far below than an entry level laptop, netbooks have emerged. Google's idea of Chrome OS coupled with Google's AppEngine is an eye-opener for researchers and developers. Keeping all these industry-proven innovations in mind we are proposing a Context-Driven Cloud-Oriented Application Architecture for smart devices. This architecture enables our smart devices to behave smarter by utilizing very less of local resources.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of mobile applications (apps) related to pregnancy in South Korea and evaluate their quality. Methods: We conducted a systematic search for pregnancy-related apps available in Korea in two app stores as of April 29, 2022. The quality of apps was assessed using the Korean translation of the Mobile Application Rating Scale for objective quality with four subdomains (engagement, function, aesthetics, and information) and four items for subjective quality. Results: In total, 163 apps were selected and reviewed. Both the objective and subjective quality of the apps were found to be desirable, with scores exceeding 3 out of 5 (range, 34-82). All subdomain scores in the objective quality assessment were also desirable. Among the four objective quality subdomains, aesthetics received the highest scores, followed by information, function, and engagement. In terms of subjective quality, the scores for a comprehensive overall evaluation, continuous use, and recommendation exceeded 3 out of 5, with the exception of payment. Only a small number of apps (n=4, 2.9%) were backed by a reliable authority, such as an expert review. Significant differences were observed in the objective quality of apps across different content categories (F=3.86, p=.003). Conclusion: Most pregnancy-related apps had desirable levels of objective and subjective quality. However, app content experts seldom provide reviews. It is crucial for nurses to recommend apps to expectant mothers that offer dependable content, regularly updated with the latest information.

Purpose: The study aims to assess the current status of domestic public food delivery apps and analyze the process through which sellers choose between private delivery apps and public delivery apps. This involves exploring strategiesto achieve the original purpose of public food delivery apps, which is to enhance the small business owners income and promote consumer welfare by preventing the monopoly of private food delivery apps. Research design, data and methodology: the research methodology is based on a model that introduces adjustments for non-economic effects, considering the preferences of multi-homing consumers, to more realistically reflect the benefits of sellers' choices. For data analysis, real business performance data from 'Daeguro', 'Meokkaebi', and 'Somunnan Shop' were used. Results: The study revealed that if the market share of public delivery apps within a specific region increases beyond a certain level, the benefits for small-business sellers also increase. This leads to the strategic advantage of simultaneously using both delivery apps. Furthermore, the results exhibit a tendency similar to real social phenomena. Conclusions: This analysis confirmed the role of public food delivery apps in the domestic delivery app market and presents policy recommendations, including application integration and the implementation of exclusive public interest functions, to effectively fulfill this role.

This paper is to suggest how to apply smartphone application making for literature class as a learning tool. New specialists in literature are not satisfied with the traditional learning methods for the acquisition of theoretical knowledge any more. They try to learn the making process of smartphone application using app writing tools to meet their attention and needs. As a result, they can experience "deterritoriatization" of their major. Such a new learning method not only makes the learners build up their literary knowledge, but also plays a part to meet their needs to make it reality as a practical method that satisfies their learning needs. On this basis, there can be a possibility for literature to be the important resource of the contents development for mobile application.

스마트TV는 스마트폰과 달리 가족이 사용하는 디바이스로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 스마트TV도 SNS(Social Networking Service), 웹 서비스 등 가족인 아닌 개인 단위로 사용하는 앱(application)뿐만 아니라 각 개인마다 선호하는 게임을 포함한 앱(application), VOD 리스트, TV 채널 등이 다르다고 볼 수 있다. 그리하여 스마트TV에서도 개인 맞춤형 사용자 인터페이스가 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 스마트TV 환경에서 기존 윈도우 로그인 시스템처럼 개인만의 맞춤형 사용자 인터페이스를 제시한다. 그리하여 각각의 사용자들은 개인만의 환경에서 앱(application)을 실행하거나 TV를 볼 수 있다. 기존 연구되고 있는 채널 네비게이션 기법을 토대로 VOD list, 게임을 포함한 앱(App)을 개인 맞춤형 인터페이스로 보다 편리하게 사용할 수 있는 방법도 제시한다. 채널 네비게이션은 로그인한 각 자신만의 환경에서 사용자가 과거에 시청한 TV 채널을 조사하여 많이 시청한 TV 채널을 보여 주게 한다. 그리하여 보다 자신이 선호하는 채널을 쉽게 시청할 수 있다. 이와 더불어 VOD 리스트와 게임을 포함한 앱(application)을 과거에 시청하거나 사용했던 패턴을 분석하고 선호하는 VOD 리스트와 앱(application)을 예측하여 보여주어 개인의 맞춤형 인터페이스에서 보다 빠르게 접근이 가능하며 편리하게 사용할 수 있다.
