Mobile Communication Companies are trying to increase data services rather than telephone communication services that already became saturated as the competition of mobile communication market gets intensified. However, it is hard and time-consuming for customers to find desired mobile phone wireless services because of the limitation of screen and speed of the mobile phone. Therefore, the market does not grow rapidly as mobile communication companies expected. In our research, we suggest a personalized wireless service recommendation system that considers each individual context by using geographic information and wireless internet usage logs to overcome the mentioned problems. In order to design and implement the system, we conducted clustering analysis on base stations and real service usage logs of each base station, and suggested a personalized recommendation system based on collaborative filtering that uses the clustering results. Moreover, we verified the performances of our system with experiments.

This study was designed to examine the antecedents of mobile app usage among smart phone users. An extended TAM, which included the additional factors of perceived enjoyment, perceived informative usefulness and perceived social usefulness, was applied to predict people's intention to use mobile apps. Overall, the hypothesized research model did a fairly good job explaining significant associations between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The findings had showed that perceived social usefulness, perceived enjoyment and attitude were significantly affect intention to use mobile apps. Meanwhile, perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived informative usefulness were not significantly effects attitude towards intention to use mobile apps. Therefore, mobile apps developers should develop mobile apps that are easier for the users to seek information. For the information available should be more precise and bringing more benefits to the users.

With the rapid growth of smart phone technologies, mobile user's demands for using services provided by existing web or portal cites are highly increased. These services, however, are designed for the environment of desktop PCs or laptops in general, so it requires lots of costs for corrections and has difficulties for system protection to use in current mobile devices. In this paper, we design and implement a middleware for android-based smart phone apps to cooperate with a portal system with minimum corrections and function configuration. Our middleware system is working as an interface between an existing portal system and mobile devices to provide harmonious usage and safe system protection.

While driving, the manual use of a mobile phone is heavily restricted due to the interference with the primary driving task. An alternative would be the use of speech interface. The current study aims to provide a guideline to implementation of a speech interface to the mobile phone. To do so, an expert evaluation was made and it revealed that a speech interface requires less workload, less performance degradation of the driving task than that of the keypad interface. To make speech interfaces more usable, new improvements are suggested. Subjective workload can be reduced and user satisfaction can be improved without degrading the primary task performance, for instance, by letting the user interrupt the speech of the phone, eliminating the repetitive words, letting the user know clearly what makes an error, providing a way to go back to the previous state, reducing the usage of keypad buttons and reducing the amount of the information on the screen.

Mobile communications is argued to reshape and activate the existing space by increasing 'mobile communicability en route' and 'real time interaction.' This study is designed to make an empirical analysis on how different the use of a cellular phone is in each different space. In this study, the space is divided into three distinct parts including the private, social and public space. First, spatial micro-coordination and experience of polysemy of place are widely observed in the use of a mobile phone in the private space. Secondly, it is found that a mobile phone contributes to extending the scope of social contacts which in turn compliments the existing social relationship. Moreover, a full-time intimate community that is connected via a mobile phone results in reshaping the social space. Lastly, the study shows that the usage pattern of a mobile phone varies depending on the type of public space. The technological development is envisaged to lead to more demand for the public space while facilitating the use of the public space.

In this paper, we analyze trends in the use of mobile forensic technology, focusing on cases where mobile forensics are used, and we predict the development of future mobile forensics technology using linear regression used in future prediction models. For the current status and outlook analysis, we extracted a total of 8 variables by analyzing 1,397 domestic and foreign mobile forensics-related cases and newspaper articles. We analyzed the prospects for each variable using the year of occurrence as an independent variable, seven variables such as text (text message usage information), communication information (cell phone communication information), Internet usage information, messenger usage information, stored files, GPS, and others as dependent variables. As a result of the analysis, among various aspects of the use of mobile devices, the use of Internet usage information, messenger usage information, and data stored in mobile devices is expected to increase. Therefore, it is expected that continuous research on technologies that can effectively extract and analyze characteristic information of mobile devices such as file systems, the Internet, and messengers will be needed As mobile devices increase performance and utilization in the future and security technology.

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. In this paper, we attempt to investigate the demographic factors which play critical roles in determining the level of playing times; classify mobile gamers based on their motives for playing games; and empirically test differences in their demographic factors and mobile game usage. Statistical results show that significant differences in playing times exist, depending upon their age, gender, mobile device, mobile phone usage, mobile game experiences, and preferred games genres. Applying Factor analysis, we have identified Escape, Social interaction, Challenge and Competition, Fantasy, Diversion and Relaxation, Ease of Accessibility as key motivators for playing mobile games. Additional cluster analysis shows that the categorization of gamers, according to their usage habits and the key motivators for playing, can be made as follows: Multi-gamers, Communication-focused gamers and Mobile active-gamers. Further correlation of these grouping with socio-economic data shows the significant differences in gaming habits and patterns of mobile phone use.

Recently the range of mobile phone's usage has become more widely since phone has the function of data communication and voice communication. In addition, the request of users who wish to represent their identity on their mobile phones by storing some kinds of multimedia data such as images and melody has increased. There are two different methods for downloading the multimedia data; one method accesses a wireless internet server to download the data and another method downloads the data from PC directly. While the first one requires extra fee for downloading the data, the second method has weakness to modify the original data and it cannot be used in GSM phone yet since it is developed for CDMA phone. In this paper, we introduce a PC-based download application system that enables the users to download multimedia data from PC to GSM phone very easily.
