The Location Based Services (LBS) comprise spatial information and mobile technology allow users to receive various services based on Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Although, spatial information based services are very useful, it has lots of possibility to damage privacy protection. But the contents of the legislation by government have problems conflicted between protection of a person's location information and invigoration LBS. Therefore, in this study suggest a causal model to deal with user satisfaction and factors affecting spatial information based services to customer perspective. The proposed research model is tested empirically with one hundred and forty one usable questionnaires and partial least square (PLS) method. Experimental results showed that the usefulness, playfulness, and service quality play a prominent role in influencing the spatial information services satisfaction compared to other factors. But, easy of use and perceived risk are not significant.

In recent years, health management services have been increased according to the increase in interests on health and the development of information technology (IT) based on increases in advanced ages and chronic disease patients. Thus, it requires the monitoring of health conditions and the specialized healthcare services not only in a hospital but also their own home. This study provides the specific notification services related to the context information based on users' bio signal data and the notification services of specific patients and attempts to develop a hypertension monitoring system and a notification service system according to indexes. Because this system considers the context of users by differing it from the conventional monitoring services, it makes possible to obtain more exact measurement values. In addition, it is able to reduce certain health risks through managing specific patients and based on living indexes. Also, it can provide more customized services to users due to the exact and finely classified services.

Recently, improved capabilities of the mobile device is represented in a demand for same level services with the desktop device services but the service that is developed for desktop device is not compatible with mobile devices. To fulfill these demands, it is needed to provide services with considering features of mobile devices. This means that CP(Contents Provider) must do contents transformation in order to make suitable contents on mobile device. For managing some information that is required to do contents transformation, we need the DDR(Device Description Repository) which can store and search a variety of device information to grasp the constraints on the mobile device as compared with desktop devices. Also, defining standard API is required to offer a service regardless of platforms. Hereupon W3C(World Wide Web Consortium) introduced DDR Simple API. However that specifies the limited functions of DDR, which is inevitable to be added for more precise search services. In this paper, we expanded DDR Simple API and implemented DDR that supports DDL(Device Description Language) conversion and storing and searching device information.

Various kinds of data broadcasting services can be offered using a return-channel in digital broadcasting TV compared to analog services. In these data broadcasting environments, several data(associated with TV broadcasting programs, or not) are provided to the TV audiences except for audio/video broadcasting data. In this paper, a structure of data manager for data/object carousel, based on data broadcasting protocols, was proposed for data broadcasting services using a return-channel, and were supported to the production technologies of DTV contents. These contents application techniques for DTV will be implemented with this data manager in MPEG2-TS data broadcasts using PID(Packet ID).

With the advent of Ubiquitous era, Korean government understood its strategic importance and formulated 'IT839 Strategies' with various action plans not to miss the great opportunities which it may allow and eventually to realize u-Korea. As a result, m-Commerce is actualized and new types of Ubiquitous services such as digital multimedia broadcasting(DMB) and wireless broadband Internet(WiBro) are now on their commercial stages. Digital contents are the key success factors of these new services. Digital contents industry is regarded as next generation of growth engine in the digital economy, because it is knowledge-based and high value-added global industry affecting positively on the whole private and public sectors. This paper reviewed the characteristics, business models, technical and market trend of digital contents to be compatible with Ubiquitous environment. Also, it reviewed the development strategies of DMB and WiBro services, which are newly introduced and commercialized in Korea to make it as world leader in these fields. It may be concluded that Korea should make more efforts to development market-oriented digital contents for Ubiquitous era and to realize the sustained economic growth.

Recently, the Social Internet of Things (IoT), the follow-up of the IoT, has been studied to expand the existing IoT services, by integrating devices into the social network of people. In the Social IoT environment, humans, devices and digital contents are connected with social relationships, to guarantee the network navigability and establish levels of trustworthiness. However, this environment handles massive data, including social data of humans (e.g., profile, interest and relationship), profiles of IoT devices, and digital contents. Hence, users and service providers in the Social IoT are exposed to arbitrary data when searching for specific information. A study about the recommender system for the Social IoT environment is therefore needed, to provide the required information only. In this paper, we propose the Social correlation group based Recommender System (SRS). The SRS generates a target group, depending on the social correlation of the service requirement. To generate the target group, we have designed an architecture, and proposed a procedure of the SRS based on features of social interest similarity and principles of the Collaborative Filtering and the Content-based Recommender System. With simulation results of the target scenario, we present the possibility of the SRS to be adapted to various Social IoT services.

Recently, online real-time web accessible mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs and application services have been developing rapidly. Hospitals also need to adopt an efficient information system that can provide decent medical services under mobile computing environments to complete future medical services. This study proposes a system in which a doctor can examine a patient and make out a prescription in a ward on a real-time based on the current Order Communication Systems (OCSs) through mobile interfaces. The proposed system implements mobile web pages using HTML5, instead of a mobile app. Web processing speed can be enhanced using the web socket and web storage functions of HTML5.

This study establishes a simple Causal Map in order to understand the structure of Social Network Services(SNS). From this, the paper proposes a simulation with drawing Simulation Model and it examines whether a Dunbar Number is available for the emergence of collective intelligence based on an on-line network. Through my analytical research, it turn out both Closed SNS and Open SNS have their own Dunbar Number. However, it appear that Open SNS can expand infinitely as it has a unique property namely weak tie. This implies that it is significant for a system or policy to be developed in order to overcome the problem of Dunbar Number, whereas restricting the extension of a network by considering the Dunbar Number would have a negative impact on emergence of collective intelligence.

The paper reviews the relationship between mobile services and u-City services in order to promote u-City service. In the u-Cities, a variety of services are provided based on u-IT technology, which brings the benefits of efficient city management and offers convenience to the city residents. However, most of the available services are designed for the areas of city operation or administrative management, which hinders the growth and propagation of the services. Hence, the paper suggests a concept of mobile life service that is a service that can be ubiquitously accessible by city residents in everyday life. Accordingly, the paper examines and analyzes the usefulness of such services and the intention to use them by conducting a survey among the residents of the metropolitan area. The paper verifies that the mobile life service will contribute to promoting the use of u-City services.

VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks) is a network between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure. VANET-specific characteristics such as high mobility, movement limitation, and signal interference by obstacles make it difficult to provide stable VANET services. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a vehicle type-based priority clustering method that improves the existing bus-based clustering. The proposed algorithm constructs a cluster by evaluating the priority, link quality, and connectivity based on the vehicle type, expected communication lifetime, and link degree of neighbor nodes. It tries to simplify the process of selecting a cluster head and increase cluster coverage by utilizing a predetermined priority based on the type of vehicle. The proposed algorithm is expected to become the basis for activating various services by contributing to providing stable services in a connected car environment.
