In this paper, we propose a mobile application categorization method using word cluster information. Because the mobile application description can be shortly written, the proposed method utilizes the word cluster seeds as well as the words in the mobile application description, as categorization features. For the fragmented categories of the mobile applications, the proposed method generates the word clusters by applying the frequency of word occurrence per category to K-means clustering algorithm. Since the mobile application description can include some paragraphs unrelated to the categorization, such as installation specifications, the proposed method uses some word clusters useful for the categorization. Experiments show that the proposed method improves the recall (5.65%) by using the word cluster information.

Recently people who enjoy social game via mobile devices significantly are increasing depending on the rapid adoption of smart phones and the development of the network such as LTE. Most of them are enjoying the casual gaming mobile social games that you are able to play easily, but social issues like health problems due to long play time are emerging. The users, however, do not last long because of the simplicity of the game, and there are few people who actually buy game items even though they play it long time. This study has been conducted aiming to overcome such difficulties. This study suggests ways to generate constantly revenue avoiding short-term box-office after the release of mobile social games based on the analysis for market trend and profitability of the mobile social game. In addition, by applying profitability model analyzed to Japan's most successful game practices, this paper suggests the concrete methods about the commitment of the users. For summarizing the main achievements of this paper, providing the latest market information about mobile social games, analysis of profitability, practical implications for the commitment of the users are presented.

In this study, to improve educational motivation and learning outcomes, a mobile app using game elements was developed, and the effect of its application in rebar work education was analyzed. Using the 4F(Figure out-Focus-Fun design-Finalize) process, which is a game development model, a mobile learning app for rebar work was developed that considers the characteristics of college students familiar with smartphone use, and the app was developed in a manner that utilizes game mechanics such as learning missions and points to stimulate a learner's interest and improve educational motivation. The results show that the proposed app for rebar work is positively evaluated in terms of interface style, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, attitude toward using, and intention to use. Therefore, it can be concluded that using the learning game app for rebar work in classes can contribute to improving a learner's performance in various aspects.

Mobile games have emerged as the most innovative entertainment technology, adding new revenue streams, taking advantage of the potential of wireless applications and service offerings. Mobile games, like any other types of computer game, offer a unique value for users in providing an exciting digital experience in virtual worlds. Players can become empowered through the development of new characters and strategies within games to achieve rewarding successes against the computers and other players. In this paper, we attempt to examine the motives of adolescents for playing mobile games. Based on data collected from survey, we have identified Escape, Arousal and Fantasy, Challenge and Competition, Diversion and Relaxation, Social interaction as the key motivators for playing mobile games. We also investigated the extent to which use and gratifications are predicted by demographic factors as well as by gaming experience. Statistical results confirm that most of the demographic factors played critical roles in determining the level of motivations for playing games. The results from this research might give mobile game industry some useful guidelines for developing mobile edu-game and market expansion strategy.

Virtual Reality (VR) is widely used in various fields, and it is expanding game and movie toward health care, business Software, education, and web services. Especially various researches are actively conducted in the field of exhibition, utilizing smart phone based detachable HMD (Head Mounted Display). The VR exhibition solves addresses both temporal and spacial constraints overcoming the unilateral information transfer exhibitions. This paper presents a method to overcome the limitation of time, space, and unidirectional information transfer in offline exhibition, and also presents a new method that utilizes multimedia visual design artwork as VR contents.

It was hypothesized that mobile 3D provide the sense of presence in different quantity and quality aspects in virtual reality. And it was supposed that the construction of presence involves various levels and dimensions. The factors of mobile 3D game are divided into 4 super-factors; condition factor, interface factor, attention factor, feedback factor that resulted into 20 sub-factors resulted from the factor analysis. Our primary goal is the development of valid Mobile 3D presence scale, and to find out the factor structure of the scale.

Mobile games will be one of independent industries on game areas and take the fourth standing in the important platform since PC Games, TV Games, and Palm Games. There are several reasons why mobile games will differ in their platform, behaviors, and habits. According to the data of market consultation about the figure of mobile-game players throughout the world, the Mobile game will increase steadily from 780 million in 2007 to 1860 million in 2010. Also, market income will mount up from $42,100 million to $87,000 million. 3D games have been playing important roles in our lives. Satisfying users' needs in high-quality games, they have been growing and attracting more people with their powerful visual effects and the three-dimensional design player. We cannot emphasize their tremendous visual impacts and animation effects too much. This paper displays how to design 3D application based on J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) and shows free movement of 3D objects receiving and responding to the keyboard of mobile devices withWTK (Wireless ToolKit) simulator on the 3D screen.

This study is based on previous studies on the various types of games and analyse the effects of the characteristics of mobile social network games on online word-of-mouth of game users. As a result, it was revealed that commitment increased because of the features of not needing to access continuously, not interrupted by reciprocal relationship among users, a particular time and place. However, in the process of the interaction with the media, perceived individual social presence and asynchrony that did not need to continue to access, they did not affect satisfaction and respectively. In addition, this commitment had more effects on online word-of-mouth than satisfaction. Comprehensive the above, the research achievement of this study may be expected to contribute to the ongoing development of future domestic mobile social network game industry.

The existing PMP contents have been usually providing moving picture services. However the rapid increasement by users of mobile equipment brought the need for multipurpose convergence, it is needed to develop the appropriate contents as these products appear. In this paper we designed the easy development environment for game contents that provide limited killer services. Game with the limited PMP input devices as a variety of portable input devices are developed and the equipment function of PMP itself is enhanced, its field of application will be further extended. So, we will design cross platform game development environment for PMP that is able to give friendly and valuable game contents to PMP users.
