After the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been growing interests in metaverse technology and social use of virtual reality platforms in non-face-to-face environments, but social issues and ethical concerns raised by metaverse have not been sufficiently discussed. In this paper, we discuss the social functions of the metaverse by examining the movie 'Ready Player One', and investigate the ethical problems that may arise in various implementation of metaverse. We identify the potential ethical problems that could occur in the context of metaverse including identity fragmentation, metaverse violence and crime, and mismanagement of personal information. We also propose some promising approaches to tackle these ethical problems ranging over descriptive ethics, normative ethics, and analytical (meta) ethics.

The interrelation between abusive game designers and players are revealed and considered as one of the game arts by Miguel Sicart. This study is based on the frame analysis of Ervin Goffman. The player centered game design, in the case of a digital game, is penetrated into the frame, and player's experience and game frame at the same level can be assumed as positive down-keying. Conversely, confusion of the game is experienced by the players and perceptions about the games are required. The term of Miguel Sicart, generated the abusive game design in the view of the game art, considers both common game and design of the game, respectively. Nevertheless, the abusive game design refreshes the reflections of players in a game and presents possibilities of bridging the designs of standard games through the techniques and devices.

컴퓨터 게임 산업이 발전함에 따라 사용자의 흥미를 측정하거나 불법 소프트웨어 구별을 위해 사용자 분석에 관한 연구가 진행 중이다. 그 예로 최근에 사용자 분석을 통하여 게임 레벨 디자인을 하거나 이를 게임 균형에 이용하는 연구들이 있다. 본 논문은 개인적인 게임 환경에서 사용자의 적절한 게임 경험을 위해 시간열 데이터 마이닝 개념을 이용하여 게임 사용자 모델 분석을 제안한다. 본 논문은 사용자가 게임을 하고 있는 동안 의미 있는 사용자 행동을 저장하고 차원감소와 SOM을 이용하여 4가지 행동 유형으로 클러스터링하고 행동 유형에 따른 사용자를 분석한다.

MPEG Media Transport (MMT)는 방송 서비스에서 방송망 및 IP망을 활용하여 미디어 데이터를 보다 효율적으로 전송하고 이를 저장 및 소비 할 수 있게 하기 위해 MPEG에서 개발 중인 표준이다. MMT에서는 방송프로그램을 하나의 Package로 정의하고, 해당 Package에서는 비디오, 오디오 및 데이터를 포함한 다양한 구성요소를 각각의 Asset으로 정의하고 있으며, 각 Asset은 전송 및 재생/저장의 최소단위인 MPU (Media Processing Unit) 파일들의 집합으로 구성되어져 있다. 이와 같이, MMT에서는 비디오 콘텐츠를 하나의 파일로 취급하는 기존의 방법과 달리 여러개의 MPU파일로 구성하게 함으로서, 가변적 네트워크 상황에 따라 효율적 전송 및 부분 저장을 가능하게 하였다. 본 논문에서는 여러개의 MPU파일로 구성된 MMT 콘텐츠를 각각의 MPU 파일별로 저장 및 접근을 가능하게 하고, 또한 여러개의 MPU파일들을 끊김없이 하나의 콘텐츠로 재생할 수 있는 재생기의 설계 및 구현방법을 제안하였다.

This paper presents a scheme that generates a caption file by extracting a Closed Caption stream from DTV signal. Note that Closed-Captioning service helps to bridge "digital divide" through extending broadcasting accessibility of a neglected class such as hearing-impaired person and foreigner. In Korea, DTV Closed Captioning standard was developed in June 2007, and Closed Captioning service should be supported by an enforcing law in all broadcasting services in 2008. In this paper, we describe the method of extracting a caption data from MPEG-2 Transport Stream of ATSC-based digital TV signal and generating a caption file (SAMI and SRT) using the extracted caption data and time information. Experimental results verify the feasibility of a generated caption file using a PC-based media player which is widely used in multimedia service.

In this practice article, we present the results of a scenario planning approach that is a hybrid of the three main schools of thought. Our research objective was to study the future of Interactive Digital Media applications such as online music, on-demand television and massively multi-player online role-playing games. Our approach, while essentially qualitative in nature, nevertheless draws from the rigors of the quantitative school in identifying and then tracking the significant dimensions of analysis that emerge over time as strands of events leading to plausible scenarios. Our empirical analysis revealed mapping strands to three themes - ownership, distribution and innovation - which we used in an expert validation exercise to formulate scenarios. We present and discuss the major findings and implications of this empirical investigation. In a nutshell, we conjecture that an open, competitive IDM marketplace with performance safeguards may serve both and lead to a win-win scenario. While there are differences among IDM sectors, a unified approach to regulation and policy would be effective.

Web streaming environment need a suitable video playback service technique, a streaming technique for real-time delivery and an efficient control technique due to its limited environment. In this paper, we propose an effective control technique for real-time media stream playback as a connection technique between the high-quality media player and web browser based on Linux environment. The proposed stream control technique presents control data through 050 on media playback screen of web browser, and process the user's input data. It acts GUI-independently, and is designed considering addition and extension for control data.

The purpose of this study is to classify the types of internet personal game broadcasting in China and to examine viewers' preferences type of it. By targeting top 100 creators of Player-Unknown's Battleground streaming as a personal game broadcaster with over 100,000 followers, the game types were classified based on the purpose and characteristic of game broadcasting such as game play, entertainment, and audience participation. As a result, the type of internet personal game broadcasting in China was classified into progamer type, cooperative playing type, storytelling type, and reciprocal entertainment type. The progamer type was 38% and it was the highest proportion of Player-Unknown's Battlegrounds streaming. Next came storytelling type, cooperative playing type and reciprocal entertainment type with 25%, 19% and 18% respectively. In sum, progamer type and storytelling type which shows relatively low real - time communication with audiences accounted for a high percentage of 63%. This implies that the characteristics of the broadcast media focused on 'showing' have influenced the production and planning of personal game broad casting. The interactive characteristics of the platform of personal game broad casting can be expected to gradually change the conventional customs of broadcasting media.

Streaming Technology can support the real-time playback without downloading and storing multimedia data in local HDD. So, client browser or plug-in can represent multimedia data before the end of file transmission using streaming technology. Recently, the demand for efficient real-time playback and transmission of large amounts of multimedia data is growing rapidly. But most users' connections over network are not fast and stable enough to download large chunks of multimedia data. In this paper, we propose an intelligent IP streaming system based on personalized media service. The proposed IP streaming system enables users to get an intelligent recommendation of multimedia contents based on the user preference information stored on the streaming server or the home media server. The supposed intelligent IP streaming system consists of Server Metadata Agent, Pumping Server, Contents Storage Server, Client Metadata Agent and Streaming Player. And in order to implement the personalized media service, the user information, user preference information and client device information are managed under database concept. Moreover, users are assured of seamless access of streamed content event if they switch to another client device by implementing streaming system based on user identification and device information. We evaluate our approach with manufacturing home server system and simulation results.
