The present study aims to design an application for anger control training of individuals and test its practical usability with the goal of encouraging preventive training in daily life. This study also investigates, through usability evaluation, whether users can use the application to carry out the actual anger management training program, whether it is useful and convenient, and whether it produces adequate learning effects. In order to conduct usability evaluation, a usability evaluation scale comprised of six factors-utility, reuse intention, learning, error, and reflectivity-was derived, and survey items tailored to each factor were produced. The association between usability evaluation elements, user demographic parameters, mobile usage behavior, and state anger was also examined. The result demonstrated that additional menus and features are necessary to increase the usability of the application for anger management. The result also revealed that it is vital to build an intuitive application interface that users unfamiliar with mobile app functionality can easily navigate, as well as to add entertaining components in the content, as users may be somewhat bored. On the basis of the findings, ideas of modifying and creating anger management training programs were discussed.

As the online shopping market grows, channels in the mobile shopping environment have become increasingly diverse as a wide variety of products are introduced every day. This study investigated the effects of the self-construal type, mobile product recommendation system type, and fashion product type on purchase intention. The experimental design of this study was a 2 (self-construal type: independent vs. interdependent) × 2 (product recommendation system: bestseller vs. content-based) × 2 (fashion product type: utilitarian vs. hedonic) 3-way mixed ANOVA. Women (n = 387) in their 20 to 30s residing in Seoul and the Gyeonggi area participated in the study. The data were analyzed with the SPSS 24 program and 3-way ANOVA and simple main effects analyses were conducted. The results were as follows. First, self-construal, product recommendation, and fashion product types had a statistically significant impact on purchase intention. Second, fashion product and consumers' self-construal types had significant interaction effects on purchase intention. Finally, product recommendation and fashion product and self-construal types showed significant 3-way interaction effects on purchase intention. The study confirmed an interaction between the self-construal, type of product recommendation system, and the type of fashion product used in influencing purchase intention.

In the mobile gaming market, it is desirable for a specific content to be served on various platforms. Recently, it is a very important issue in the market for mobile games. This problem incurs extra cost, because we need to redevelop existing contents to be executed on another platforms. Moreover, the release of a new platform has spent much more effort and cost developing many contents in short period of time. Therefore, we need to research about translation techniques that enable the existing contents to run on a different platform. In this paper, we propose translation techniques for mobile games. The techniques can be applied on converting mobile contents to runnable contents on a new platform. To realize it, we design and implement a source-level contents translator which is targeting Android platform using the suggested techniques. Our source-level contents translator is implemented systematically by applying compiler theory. Also, we solve partially translation problems between different programming languages. The translator has been implemented separately divided into three tasks such as kernel porting, library mapping as well as language translation. We expect these techniques to increase utilization of existing mobile games and contribute to vitalizations of mobile contents industry.

Since Korean mobile communication companies each use different mobile platforms, developers must configure and translate their game contents to run under each of the platforms so that they can be serviced correctly. Nevertheless, such translation tasks require lengthy times and costs. This is one of the reasons why a variety of contents could not be provided. In order to mitigate such difficulty, this paper implemented an automatic mobile contents translating system that automatically translates mobile C game contents of the GNEX platform to mobile java contents of the Android platform as a smart platform using a source-level contents translator. The GNEX C-to-Android Java automatic contents translation system helps minimize the amount of time and cost required in servicing contents to different mobile communication companies by promptly translating a platform-specific-content to run under other platforms. Also, the automatic translation and servicing of existing contents increases the reusability of these contents and also the productivity of new contents thereby offering users with a more variety of games.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of virtual manipulatives apps that can be used to teach students struggling to learn mathematics. To achieve this goal, ten general characteristics of 23 virtual manipulatives apps were evaluated. The instructional, interface, and interactive design features of apps were also evaluated on five-point scale ratings of 18 items. In addition, SPSS frequency analysis and the correlation between each feature was analyzed. Frequently presented instructional contents among 23 virtual manipulatives apps were geometry, arithmetic operation, number concept and measurement. The frequently presented level of instructional contents was lower grade elementary school and kindergarten age. The frequently presented instructional type was the simulation. Regarding the design features, instructional design was rated as the highest (mean = 3.7); interactive design (mean = 3.6) and interface design (mean = 3.3) were also rated higher than neural. In addition, as the learning strategy was appropriately presented, it was evaluated that there was less screen linkage and content error.

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) or Near Field Communication (NFC) technology has many advantages over other visual interfaces since it does not require line-of-sight alignment, can identify multiple tags simultaneously, and does not destroy the integrity of original objects. In addition, smart devices such as smartphone and smartpad have NFC/RFID readers which can provide mobile and natural interactions with digital and physical contents. Augmented reality has an excellent visual interaction capability with digital contents in a real environment by embedding digital contents into the physical world. In this paper, we propose a new approach to digital content interactions using RFID/NFC-based tangible interfaces in augmented reality environments that utilize invisible interfaces in addition to marker-based visual interfaces. By combining the advantages of invisible and visual interfaces, more intuitive interactions with digital contents can be provided, which can remove the difficulty of using typical AR paddles that are widely used in AR interactions. In particular, a semantic AR ontology is defined to provide more convenient interactions. Through the semantic ontology-based inferencing, physical querying and filtering are effectively supported. We will show the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed approach by demonstrating implementation results.

In this study, we propose a development environment for authoring quiz contents, which is based on the concept of "Gamification", which is the principle of Engagement and Reward. Future Services As a platform for authoring and composing technology, and also for educational contents authoring, I have reviewed key features and implications of HTML5 (CSS3.0, Java Script, etc.) along with key technologies. These features are key technologies for building a true smart learning environment. Based on this, a case of applying the gamification technique to enhance the educational effect was proposed through the quiz contents model.

In this paper, we design and implement the contents transferring the location information between a customer and a proxy driver by utilizing 'WIPI.' Customers are able to request a call-service through a client in order to call a proxy driver. And, once a proxy driver who is most adjacent to the customer accepts the order of a call-service from him or her through a location-management server using the concepts of LBS and GPS, 'WIPI' sends the information about the location of the customer to the driver, and also sends information to the custome by calculating the distance from the driver to the customer. This content was modeled based on how information is transferred between a customer and a proxy driver under the mobile circumstance, and also a server and a client, made up from JAVA, were modeled by using SKT emulator.

Mobile contents service providers have some difficulties to timely and proper service deployment due to rapid development cycle of diverse portable devices with different capabilities. A way to resolve the problem is to introduce a mobile contents service paltform that can adapt original mobile contents to diverse devices dynamically and automatically. In this paper, we propose a mobile contents service platform based on active network mechanisms, called Mobile Content Adaptation Network(MobiCAN). The MobiCAN node provides effective service deployment, execution, and maintenance features and accommodates service layering and service customization capabilities for easy deployment. The basic functional units of the MobiCAN node are micro services with well-defined service interfaces and service layering features. For reliable services among the MobiCAN nodes, we design new distributed and robust Overlay Management Protocols(OMPs). As an example of practical MobiCAN applications, we finally describe Dynamic Contents Customization Proxy(DCCP) service.
