유비쿼터스 시대가 도래 하면서 그 변화의 중심은 모바일에 집중되고 있다. 모바일 컨텐츠는 문자 메시지 서비스(SMS)로부터 시작하여 멀티미디어 컨텐츠 서비스(MMS)로 발전하였다. 현재 DMB 서비스로 발전한 모바일 서비스는 앞으로 유비쿼터스 시대에 흐름과 기기의 발전에 따라 더욱 발전할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 현재 모바일의 상호작용성과 기기적 특성을 이용한 컨텐츠 개발이 그 어느 때보다 필요한 시점이다. 모바일 기기에서 게임, 벨소리, 광고, 동영상, 캐릭터 등 다양한 컨텐츠가 제공되고 있다. 그 중에서도 애니메이션은 배경화면과 캐릭터 서비스로 모바일 기기에서 가장 널리 쓰이는 컨텐츠로 자리 잡았다. 그러나 이러한 컨텐츠들은 모바일의 기기가 양방향성의 특성을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 게임을 제외한 컨텐츠들은 일방향성에 그치고 있는 실정이다. 인터렉티브 애니메이션(Interactive animation)은 사용자가 수동적으로 보는 것과 달리 매개체를 이용하여 보다 능동적으로 볼 수 있는 애니메이션을 말한다. 인터렉티브 애니메이션은 양방향의 모바일 기반으로 적합하며, 사용자에게 새로운 경험을 줄 것이라 기대한다. 이에 본 논문은 모바일 애니메이션의 현황과 Flash Lite 2.0 에 의한 제작방법, 모바일 인터렉티브 애니메이션의 제작 실례를 통해 인터렉티브 애니메이션 컨텐츠 제작의 가능성을 제시한다.

본 논문의 목적은 PC 용으로 구축되어 있는 웹 컨텐츠를 PDA나 휴대폰과 같은 다양한 멀티플랫폼 단말기에도 제공할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 기존의 대부분 방식은 모든 단말기에 서비스 할 수 없으므로 단말기용으로 모바일 컨텐츠를 미리 생성해 놓고 그 제한된 단말기에만 서비스하였다. 이때 가장 큰 문제점은 하나의 PC 웹 컨텐츠를 이용하여 다양한 하드웨어 특성을 가지는 모바일 단말기 마다 재생 가능한 모바일 컨텐츠를 모두 생성하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG-21 멀티미디어 프레임워크를 이용하여 유선 웹 컨텐츠를 다양한 멀티 플랫폼 단말기에 실시간으로 맞추어 서비스하는 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 다양한 단말기별로 모바일 컨텐츠를 생성하는 것이 아니라 모바일 컨텐츠의 구성 및 표현방법을 MEPG-21 의 DIDL 을 이용하여 중간언어로써 기술한다. 그리고 멀티미디어 데이터 부분(Resource)만 Off-line으로 미리 변환한다. 이동단말기 접속 시 멀티미디어 서술(Description)부분을 실시간으로 변환하고 그 단말기가 사용 가능한 변환된 리소스를 통하여 단말기에 적합한 모바일 컨텐츠를 실시간으로 생성하여 서비스한다. 본 논문은 추가적으로 모바일 웹 서비스를 제공하는 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 응답시간 지연 현상을 최소화 하기 위하여 선 서비스 후 변환 방법을 제안한다.

This study was conducted for raising the considering the dynamical context of mobile phone use environment in the mobile-phone research. For this I identified the characteristic of the mobile phone use. The first characteristic is that the mobile phone is the context sensitive device. Also, it reflects the user's life pattern because it is the very personal device. I defined the context of mobile phone use with the basis on this identification of those characteristics. I referenced the definition, 'situational context', defining the mobile phone use context. Also, I set up the research scope within the user task that is influential from the situational context, I named this kind of task as the 'contextual task'. I developed the Contextual Task Model in this study. I named the model as the 'ESR Model'. The reason that I developed this contextual task model is that this model can help novice designers and designers unfamiliar with an application domain understand the user behavior and user centered design. And also this model can be effective to communicate each other, I identified the user's contextual tasks three kinds of model. First, the Extend Model includes user tasks that related to extending from user physical working space to the virtual level. Second model is Synchronize Model, which includes issues that lesson the blocking when use several functions at a time or sequentially. Third model is Replace Model, which is come from the characteristic of user life pattern to use the mobile phone. Finally, I proposed an application of this model, CIQ. Through the process to make CIQ I proved the effectiveness of this ESR Model.

We lead a life in our community, beginning a new relationship with a stranger or maintaining or stopping existing relationships. Relationships with others are sustained through social activities based on communication. Generally speaking, by exchanging feelings and information through communication, relationships are formed and continued, and strengthened through active communication As a result of the development of technologies and information technology over the recent 10 years, a mobile phone has stood as a communication channel, and now it has become such a universal, and highly intimate and important means of communication that almost all the Koreans use more often than wired phones. Today, people have their communication channel available for others, by using a mobile phone at any time and anywhere. Like this, mobile phones have been playing a key role in helping people maintain, repair and strengthen their personal relationship, but from the perspective of personal relationship management, they still remain as an aid to help communication, failing to provide a positive help for actual relationship management. This study was designed to provide services supporting user's personal relationship management, focusing on the use of mobile phones as a major tool of communication, aiming to enable users to understand current state of their relationship and make relationship management efforts, or communication behaviors, by informing who needs communication, on the basis of data on mobile phone calls. To this end, the study established a method to extract intimacy between users and callers and develop a prototype of services supporting personal relationship management, using relationship characteristics in terms of mobile communication.

In mobile content services like apps for smart mobile devices in specific, there has been a growing interest in evaluating UX quality to make sure that it provides better experience to users and consequently, secures competitiveness in a market. In that sense, usability testing has been considered as one method that enables designers and design managers to evaluate UI quality before they launch their service. However, those designers have been faced with a following fundamental question to be answere d : Is good UX design a good business? In other words, can well-designed service, which has good usability, actually satisfy target users and improve competitiveness in a market? There is no doubt that usability is one important factor perceived by users. However, it has a limit in terms of evaluating UX quality in macro level, as it mostly focuses on ease of use and efficiency of performing tasks, but does not cover other possible experiential factors, which also can be perceived by users, such as market situation and preexistence experience. Therefore, this research aims to identify key experiential factors in using mobile content services, and establish service UX index model that enables to measure perceived user satisfaction, and identify how UX design contributes to the satisfaction in quantitative way.

The camera-based mobile applications such as color, pattern and object reading can improve the living quality of blind people. However currently available camera-based applications are uncomfortable for the blind, since these applications do not reflect accessibility requirements of the blind especially on touch screen. We investigated accessibility requirements about rapidly growing camera-based mobile applications on touch screen devices for the blind. In order to identify accessibility requirements, we conducted a usability testing for color reading applications with three different types of interfaces on Android OS. The results of the usability testing were as follows: (1) users preferred short depth of menu hierarchy, (2) the initial audio help was more useful than just-in-time help, (3) users needed both manual and automatic camera shooting modes although they preferred manual to automatic mode, (4) users wanted the OS supported screen reader function to be turned off during the color reading application was running, and (5) users required tactile feedback to identify touch screen boundary. We designed a new user interface for blind people by applying the identified accessibility requirements. From a usability testing of the new user interface with 10 blind people, we showed that the identified accessibility requirements were very useful accessibility guidelines for camera-based mobile applications.

As AI technology develops, its application has been extended to diverse fields. In particular, AI-enabled Chatbot services have garnered growing attention and such services are more important as a tool of communication in mobile shopping. However, research on chatbots is in its early stage and the understanding of chatbots in the context of mobile commerce is very limited. The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate consumer responses to a shopping chatbot with a focus on the effects of chatbot agent types and message types. Specifically, a $2{\times}2$ between-subjects experimental design, with the agent type (secretary/friend) and the message type (factual/evaluative) as the independent variables, was employed. The results show that although main effects of chatbot agent and message types are not found, interaction effects between chatbot agents and message types on consumer responses are significant. Specifically, when the agent type was a secretary, consumer responses to product recommendation with a factual message were more positive. On the other hand, in the case of the friend agent, the evaluative message led to more positive responses. The findings suggest that communication elements are important in the understanding of consumer responses to chatbots in mobile shopping and effective strategies for utilizing chatbots for mobile commerce should be considered.

In this paper, we present a distortion correction for wearable Augmented Reality (AR) on mobile phones. Head Mounted Display (HMD) using mobile phones, such as Samsung Gear VR or Google's cardboard, introduces lens distortion of the rendered image to user. Especially, in case of AR the distortion is more complicated due to the duplicated optical systems from mobile phone's camera and HMD's lens. Furthermore, such distortions generate mismatches of the visual cognition or perception of the user. In a natural way, we can assume that transparent wearable displays are the ultimate visual system which generates the least misperception. Therefore, the image from the mobile phone must be corrected to cancel this distortion to make transparent-like AR display with mobile phone based HMD. We developed a transparent-like display in the mobile wearable AR environment focusing on two issues: pincushion distortion and field-of view. We implemented our technique and evaluated their performance.
