In this paper, we suggest the Deep Neural Network Model System for predicting results of the match of 'League of Legends (LOL).' The model utilized approximately 26,000 matches of the LOL game and Keras of Tensorflow. It performed an accuracy of 93.75% without overfitting disadvantage in predicting the '2020 League of Legends Worlds Championship' utilizing the real data in the middle of the game. It employed functions of Sigmoid, Relu and Logcosh, for better performance. The experiments found that the four variables largely affected the accuracy of predicting the match --- 'Dragon Gap', 'Level Gap', 'Blue Rift Heralds', and 'Tower Kills Gap,' and ordinary users can also use the model to help develop game strategies by focusing on four elements. Furthermore, the model can be applied to predicting the match of E-sports professional leagues around the world and to the useful training indicators for professional teams, contributing to vitalization of E-sports.

One of them is online community which is popular among this modern society. However, it is not appropriate to suggest that online community is solely for personal usage or solely for work-related usage. The usage of online community goes beyond only one purpose. On the other hand, our daily activities whether personal or work-related activities are usually accompanied with preconception ideas whether it is a fun activity or not. However, even with this preconception, individuals are still enjoying themselves while doing activities that are considered as boring or mundane. Furthermore, individuals are really into the activities that they forgot about their surrounding and found themselves being in flow while conducting these activities. Unfortunately, there is little research done in South Korea addressing this emotion related factors. Because of that, more research concerning emotion related factors need to be conducted to better understand users behavior especially in online environment. With regards to that concern, this research studied two distinct everyday activities which are studying and playing games in online community. It is expected that when an individual feels more enjoyable and feels more comfortable, it will be more likely for them to be more satisfied. This satisfaction will lead them to being in a flow state. Hence, this study proposed three hypotheses. In order to investigate these three hypotheses, studies were conducted in two stages. The first stage was conducted in order to derive the implicit knowledge about fun from the participants. The second stage was done by an empirical study. It was conducted with two sample groups. The first group is the study group and the second group is the play games group. There were asked a set of questionnaires related to their enjoyment, comfort, satisfaction and flow while conducting the relevant activity. The results showed that both groups reached the state of flow regardless whether they belong to the study group or play games group. Therefore, the preconception idea about an activity does not promote or prevent individuals from feeling enjoyment, feeling comfortable and achieve satisfaction while conducting those activities.

Digital items, considered as virtual assets, include avatars, accessories for the avatars, digital wallpapers, and game items, etc. The objective of this study is to examine the factors influencing the purchase of digital items. Factors, based upon Uses and Gratifications theory, including image making, self-expression, social awareness and fun-seeking, are introduced as salient variables for purchasing digital items. In addition, social identification and flow are also considered as key motivators. Statistical results indicates that social identification affects both flows and the intension to purchase digital items, and then flow next influences intension to purchase. It was also found that motives based upon Uses and Gratifications theory influences social identification, but have no impact on flow. As a conclusion, the academic and practical implications of these findings are also discussed.

인터넷이 널리 보급됨에 따라 온라인 상에서의 활동은 보편화 되었고 사용자들은 자아를 표현하고 성장시키는 것에 대하여 더욱 다양하고 확장된 환경을 요구하게 되었다. 사용자 간의 상호작용, 자신을 대표하는 상징물과 현실세계의 자아와의 상호작용은 매체의 몰입의 한 요소로서 중요하다. 이는 게임에서도 마찬가지이며, 플레이어의 게임 속 상황이나 역할에서의 행동은 자신만이 아닌 다른 사용자에게도 직간접적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 플레이어의 모든 행동은 인터페이스를 통하여 이루어지게 되는데, 다변화적인 상황에서 역할을 수행하면서 사용자는 자신의 성향과 편의에 부합하는 인터페이스를 원하게 된다. 본 연구는 사용자 맞춤형 인터페이스(Customized UI)를 연구하는 한 과정으로, 게임 인터페이스를 하나의 매체로 선택하여 사용자 맞춤형 인터페이스를 제공하는 것이 매체 몰입을 향상 시킬 것이라는 가설을 바탕으로 진행되었다. 게임 인터페이스에서 개인의 취향에 따라 인터페이스를 차별화 시킬 수 있는 Add-ons 기능이 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 MMORPG 'WOW'의 플레이어들을 대상으로 설문과 분석을 한 결과 게임상의 다양한 상황과 역할에 따라 요구되는 인터페이스의 복잡수준은 차이가 있을 뿐만 아니라, 사용자의 개개인의 요구를 충족시키는 맞춤형 인터페이스를 제공하는 것은 게임의 지속적인 흥미를 유발하고 몰입을 강화시킨다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

This analysis is intended to approach a computer game in the context of cultural-study theories. The semiotics can be applied to various area, and it is assumed to also applied to computer games. In semiotical background we tried to analyze the mythology of Starcraft mainly by using Propp's narratives theory and Brathes' mythologies theory. In the narratives of Starcraft, we fouind some simplified functions which penetrate the internal structure. And while most of the games having paradigmatic flow in narratives, Starcraft has syntagmatic flow mainly because of the function of network. With these conditions, we could find some mythologies in Starcraft : (1) naturalization of discipline and control, (2) time and space as resources, (3) deprivation of values of object.

Various construction bonds and warranties critically burden the general contractor. Also, sporadic or cumulative delays of progress payment by the owner can further trap the contractor in a financial quagmire. Facing the possibility of cash flow deficiency and callous response from the banks, most construction firms may become financially incapable of market competition, and attractive project tenders become a bidding game among few deep-pocket players. The downside of such market environment is that the depth of pocket, rather than that of professional competency dictates the choice of market winners. In Taiwan, this has been a potential crisis to the construction industry after the financial crisis which started out since 2008. To encounter this problem, this research will examine the means to better manage the construction industry. Essentially, a credit guarantee system (CGS) is the prime solution to strengthen a bank's confidence in any particular construction firm. Thus establishing a national platform which evaluates and rewards a construction firm's overall credibility is pivotal, and this third-party rated credit can help a bank to render a loan more wisely. Finally, this paper will propose the ideal operating schemes of construction-specific CGS in Taiwan and a credit scoring prototype model for construction industry, as reference for the government and banks, respectively.

This study is to focuses on users' attitudes toward augmented reality games. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Flow theory, continuous usage intention was set as a dependent variable, and immersion was set as a mediating variable. As independent variables, spatial presence, perceived interactivity, perceived pleasure, and sickness were set. Besides, this study strived to compare and analyze Korean and Chinese Data. The results of this study were as follows. First of all, Korean users significantly affected spatial presence, perceived pleasure, and immersion. Spatial presence and perceived pleasure had also mediated effects on continuous usage intention through immersion. However, perceived interactivity and sickness did not affect immersion and even no mediating effect to continuous usage intention. In the case of Chinese users, spatial presence, perceived interactivity, and perceived pleasure were grouped into one variable. This variable influenced immersion and also had mediated effect on continuous usage intention. However, sickness, like Korean users, did not affect the set path. This study had implications for analyzing user perspective using immersion, a significant variable in previous research. In addition, this study found similarities and characteristics through a comparative analysis between Korean and Chinese users indirectly.

As the computer becomes a trend, interactive multimedia design can be one media to communicate the cultural knowledge. A folktale can be a powerful material to show a country's culture. In this project, we try to make the folktale content to be understood easily by implementing some cultural information background. The main aim of this project is to give a vision of the richness culture through the interactive multimedia technology. In this paper, we would like to show a flow map content, a streaming of design process and a visual interface design prototype. Finally, interactive multimedia design content is very useful for a transferring the richness culture because people tend to like a multimedia content. In order to make an effective interactive multimedia design content based on a cultural background, a designer should need to understand about users, culture, technology and the whole design process.
