Purpose - Most of the amendments to the law on the improvement of the distribution structure of mobile communication terminal equipment, the fully self-sufficient system of terminals, and the separated disclosure system on the terminals are aimed at securing transparency of the distribution structure by eliminating or reducing handset subsidies. This study investigates what items are important for the purchase of mobile phones in various and rapidly changing mobile phone markets from the consumer's point of view and tries to make a strategic suggestion for future mobile distribution strategies. Research design, data, and methodology - The procedure of this study takes place in four steps. In step 1, only the SF type respondents selected for this study were extracted through MBTI analysis. In step 2, they were divided into three hierarchies for the AHP analysis and each element was arranged. In step 3, the AHP analysis was converted to a Fuzzy-AHP number using the trigonometric centroid method. This was to eliminate the ambiguity of the response by converting into a fuzzy number even if data consistency was maintained with CI value below 0.1. In step 4, the number of converted 2-layer and 3-layer was combined to derive the priority when the final handset is selected. Results - First, the highest importance among the four items in the second tier was the terminal function item, followed by brand, price, and design item. Second, in the third tier, the highest importance was level of after-sales service, followed by device price, processing speed, ease of use, usefulness, and rate system. Third, the arithmetic average of the determinant of the fuzzy function showed that processing speed, ease of use and usefulness in the function item, level of after-sales service in the brand item, and device price in the price item were the five most important factors among 16 choice factors. Conclusions - First, there will be a change in the consumption patterns of consumers who have compared distributors and dealers to purchase handsets with more subsidies. Second, it is highly likely that people will purchase new handsets only when they need to change their devices because they can not receive subsidies by switching phone brands any more.

The SAR measurement system with stationary probes, presented in this paper, can calculate area SAR value based ell the measured 9 electric field data. By converting obtained area SAR to the volume SAR, the results can be acquired in a few seconds. The system can be very useful tool in the stages of handset development for mobile communication as well as in the handset production line because of its rapid SAR measurement. The system showed good linearity characteristics at 835 MHz of 10 $\sim$ 27 dBm input power range.

In this paper, we propose SAR reduction methods based on power conservation relation, After defining SRF(SAR Reduction Factor) for a more quantitative discussion of effective SAR reduction methods, many kinds of simulation have been performed. We compare the SAR by a flip type handset with that of folder type one. It is found that in a typical position of handsets over a human head, the SAR when using the folder type is about 30 % smaller than that when using the flip type. The effects of ferrite material when using flip type handset are shown to be not considerable when using a folder type.

A method to reduce the specific absorption rate(SAR) of the antenna for WiMAX mobile communication is proposed in this paper. The SAR reduction is achieved by miniaturizing the physical size of the antenna for the given resonance frequency by devising a metamaterial-composite right- and left-handed(CRLH) configuration-based radiator much smaller than the quarter-guided wavelength adopted a lot in the conventional planar inverted F antenna(PIFA) or modified monopole antenna. The proposed antenna is placed near the head-phantom and its SAR is evaluated by the full-wave simulations(SEMCAD X), where the metamaterial-inspired antenna is shown to have the lower value than a modified monopole as the reference in terms of the SAR.

In this paper, we propose a home-networking service using mobile phone and ZigBee module. Recently, ZigBee is widely used for various applications due to its characteristics. Especially, it is generally adopted for home network services. We propose a new home network service model using mobile phones. In the proposed architecture, the mobile phones are connected to conventional home network appliances using ZigBee dongle. Also, several servers are implemented for service management. We implement the whole components of the proposed architecture and show the validity of the proposed method. With the proposed service structure, it is expected to provide various ubiquitous services for the user.

The big issue according to the advance of wireless internet is the design of on-line game under mobile computing environment. The current mobile games have constraints in implementation of on-line game due to the low performance processor. small memory size and short battery time. Therefore, nowadays one-button games which are simple and easy to manipulate, have attracted great interests. In this paper, we designed and implemented the trandition Jeki-chaki game, which is a kind of one-line game, using a mobile handset.

This paper presents a new JPEG quantization table design method for mobile images in handset. From the characteristics of the mobile images, we propose a modeling method of the quantization table and select the optimized pre-emphasis factor from various sets of $240{\times}320$ images. From the experiment, we show that the performance is improved in the sense of bpp and PSNR, applying the proposed method.

As the need for immediate access to the required information has increased in today's busy daily life, information service providers' capability of providing service whenever and wherever possible has become a critical element of improving service quality. Naturally, the demand and supply for mobile information service has rapidly increased since it is an ultimate option of satisfying information needs without temporal and special constraints. This paper examines the issues of system implementation and information service provision using mobile communication network and mobile handset as a tool of information access. First, it examines overall conditions of mobile information service environment, and then explores the general components required for the implementation of mobile information service, including contents, network, platform, and use environment.
