Objective: This study investigated the effect of a video game-based home exercise program on the improvement of balance and muscle strength in the elderly. Design: Randomized controlled trial Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: a video game-based home exercise training group (experimental group, n=16) and a control group (n=17). The experimental group trained three times a week for 50 minutes per session for six weeks, and the control group did not perform any exercise. To evaluate postural balance, one leg standing test, Berg balance scale, functional reach test, and timed up and go test were performed, and five times sit-to-stand was performed to evaluate lower extremity muscle strength. Results: In the experimental group, there were statistically significant improvements (p<0.05) in one leg standing test, Berg balance scale, functional reach test, and timed up and go test, and five times sit-to-stand after the intervention, but in the control group, the difference before and after the intervention was not significant. The difference between the groups according to the experimental method showed a significant increase in the experimental group (p<0.05). Conclusions: These results suggest that a video game-based home exercise program effectively improves balance and muscle strength in the elderly. A video game-based exercise program can contribute to the rehabilitation of the elderly as a method of home remote rehabilitation.

(2) The frequency of video game showed significant relationship with place. preference formation, relative preference. and parents involvement. The time of video game showed significant relationships with place. preference formation, relative preference, and cost. The career showed significant relationship with place and cost.

This study was to investigate whether there are any differences in social competence by the frequency of young children's video and computer game use. Social development was categorized as peer popularity and social competence. The subjects were 215 children(118 boys, 97 girls) aged 4-6 years(M= 63.6 months, SD=6.8) from 3 kindergartens in Chung-Cheong Nam Do. The frequency of children's video and computer game use was reported by their parents. Peer popularity was rated by their classmates and social competence by their teachers with Kohn Social Competence Scale(KSCS). No significant relationship was found between game use and peer popularity. The children who played video and computer games once or twice a week got the highest score on the‘social interest and participation’But social cooperation dimension was not related with the frequency of video and computer game use but with the sex of children.

본 논문은 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 새로운 네트워크 적응적 N-스크린 게임 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 목표하는 시스템은 클라우드 서버에서 연산된 게임 화면을 가정에 설치된 게임서버를 통해 한대 이상의 게임 단말로 전송해야 한다. 하지만, 하나의 게임 영상을 가지고 서로 다른 해상도를 가진 N-스크린을 지원하는 것은 어렵고, 무선 네트워크에서의 게임 사용자 이동은 영상 화질을 저하시킨다. 따라서, 본 논문은 스케일러블 비디오 코딩 기술과 채널 코드 기술인 랩터 코드를 이용하여 네트워크 적응적 게임 영상 추출 및 전송 기술을 개발하였다. 실제 게임 영상을 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안하는 영상 기술의 효율성을 입증한다.

As video games gain popularity and become a normal part of home entertainment, concern about youth access to inappropriate games continues to grow. Some people have claimed that violent video games influence children's aggressive behavior and that violent video games have some responsibility for violence in the school. In response to people's concerns, the video game industry created a video game rating system in 1995 to help parents decide which video games are appropriate for their children. This study investigated whether parents were aware of the video game rating system and how often they have used it when selecting video games for their children. This study attempted to find relationships among parents' attitudes toward video games, their guidance styles for their children's video game play, and their use of the video game rating system. This study found that most parents have used the video game ratings very frequently when they select video games for their children. But many parents still don't understand the video game rating system. This study showed that parents who had more negative attitudes or less positive attitudes toward video games were more likely to impose restrictions on their children's video game play and to use the video game rating system as a means to restrict their children's access to violent video games.

The purpose of this study was to investigate actual trends of young children's video and computer-based game uses. Four hundred and eighty parents of 4-6 year-old children were questioned about children's game uses and their attitude toward them and 180 of their children were interviewed. As the results of this study, most of children have been playing video and computer games. Boys played them more frequently than girls and the olders than the youngers. The majority of children liked video and computer games. The first reason to play games was 'interesting'. The most parents considerably tolerated to their children playing games except the arcade games. Many parents limited their children's time of playing games. They occasionally played with their children or observed them playing games.

A survey analysis of home video games was carried out for 1,018 elementary school children. Children responded to a questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic variables, degree of game participation(frequency and mean time), control behavior(eg. resting during games, lightening interior), and physical symptoms(eg. eyestrain, headache, trembling, paralyses) during and/or after playing games. Statistical analysis was done by frequency, percentile, and chitest. The results showed that many children enjoyed video games frequently and played continually, that few children did control behavior during games. Main variables related to degree of game playing and control behavior were sex, game experience, parent's education, and mother's activity. In particular, the results implied that the level of physical symptoms during and/or after game differed by lighting factors.

가정용 게임기는 한 때 개인용 컴퓨터에 필적한 만큼의 높은 보급률을 자랑했지만 스마트폰, 태블릿과 같은 모바일 기기의 등장으로 성장세가 주춤하였다. 그러나, PC 게임이나 모바일 게임에서 제공되지 않는 다양한 IT 신기술을 적극적으로 도입하면서 여전히 관련 시장에서 위치를 굳건히 지키고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가정용 게임기의 역사, 시대적 동향, 업체 동향에 대해 알아보고, 게임기에 적용된 기술 및 주목할만한 IT 신기술에 대해 알아보았다. 가정용 게임기 시장은 동작 인식 기술, 음성 인식 기술, 미디어 파사드 기술, 가상 현실 기술 등의 IT 신기술을 적극적으로 도입하면서 새롭게 등장하는 IT 기술의 각축장이 될 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, a video broadcasting system between a home-server-type device and a mobile device is proposed. The home-server-type device can automatically extract semantic information from video contents, such as news, a soccer match, and a baseball game. The indexing results are utilized to convert the original video contents to a digested or arranged format. From the mobile device, a user can make recording requests to the home-server-type devices and can then watch and navigate recorded video contents in a digested form. The novelty of this study is the actual implementation of the proposed system by combining the actual IT environment that is available with indexing algorithms. The implementation of the system is demonstrated along with experimental results of the automatic video indexing algorithms. The overall performance of the developed system is compared with existing state-of-the-art personal video recording products.
