Recently, the demand for mobile systems is remarkably growing due to the explosive spread of smart phones. The mobile system based on the smart phones enables the real time communication and business process by utilizing the on-line information on the spot anytime and anywhere. This paper proposes a development model to use android-based mobile applications to be applicable to the facility defect maintenance management in apartment buildings. The proposed methodology aims to implement an incorporated system to bind the web-based system and the mobile system in systematic interaction in order to feasibly realize the concept of mobile office.

M-commerce services are rapidly emerging with recent advances in mobile devices and wireless communications. Internet Shopping mall managers provide mobile phone users with their mobile shopping malls for m-commerce. However, these mobile shopping malls usually have their own sites which are not compatible with their Internet shopping malls, thus resulting in inefficiency to manage the two kinds of shopping malls. In this paper, we develop a M-commerce content provider system to effectively bring Internet shopping malls to mobile phones by extracting items only concerned to users from product documents. We then apply and evaluate the system over a specific internet shopping mall site. The results show that the system reduces considerably the amount of data transferred to user's mobile phones compared with using general web browsers.

Using mobile technology in educational and learning environments has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. In this mobile environment, mobile phones have been used to enhance the effectiveness of education in the field, which has been recognized through numerous experimental studies so far. The study was proposed and conducted to find out how much the use of mobile phones can have to improve the grammatical knowledge of EFL students. Introduction of 95 intermediate courses to Chungnam area The second grade students of 4-year college participated in this study. Everyone in the experimental and control groups was given the opportunity to review and recur to use the six grammar formats, including the current complete tense, simple past tense, direct and indirect question sentences, and comparative and superative-based methods. During the class discussion, the participants of the group record their voice on their cell phones, analyze the mistakes in the expressions recorded as a task after the class, and explain the results in the next session. However, in the class of the control group participants, this recording process is omitted. Participants benefited from mobile learning were much more positive in multidimensional grammar tests than those in control groups.

Mobile phone has become one of the essential items in our daily life. In Korea, it is estimated that more than 20 million cell phones are discarded each year due to advancement in technology, thus creating disposal and environmental pollution. In order to conserve the resources, their proper recycling is essential as it contains both valuable and toxic metals. The economics of the recycling will depend on the amount and value of the metals. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the composition of the metals present in the different cell phones. In the present study, a report is presented on the variation of metal content per year of waste mobile phones. A review has been made for the mobile phones manufactured during the period 2000-2009 and metal content of the printed circuit boards (PCBs) by analyzing their metals. An example of the precious metal palladium and of the heavy metal lead shows the decreasing trend.

Recently, in several countries including South Korea, the percentage of households having fixed telephones, which is often called the fixed telephone coverage rates, has decreased due to a rapid spread of mobile phones. It is generally assumed that the lower the rates of coverage, resulting in a major frame undercoverage problem, the greater the possibility of the bias. In this paper, we first take a look at the changes of coverage rates in both fixed telephones and mobile phones in South Korea and examine the coverage rates by sociodemographic characteristics of households. Also, we refer to a change in the level of fixed telephone noncoverage and the resulting problems in the situation. Second, we provide a comparison of the coverage rates for households for some European countries, the United States, Canada etc. Finally, we suggest further research to rise to our research environments increasingly troublesome, owing to the wide spread of mobile phones.

Today's growth of the mobile communication infrastructure made mobile computing systems like cellular phones came next to or surpassed the desktop PCs in popularity due to their mobility. Although the performance of mobile devices is now being improved continuously, it is a current common sense that compute intensive large-scale applications can hardly run on any kind of mobile handset devices. To clear up this problem, we decided to exploit the mobile cluster computing system and surveyed the existing ones first. We found out, however, that most of them are not the actual implementations but a mobile cluster infrastructure proposal or idea suggestions for reliable mobile clustering. To make cell phones participated in cluster computing nodes, in this paper, we propose a redesigned JPVM cluster computing engine and a set of WIPI mobile runtime functions interfacing with it. And we also show the performance evaluation results of real parallel applications running on our Mobile-JPVM cluster computing systems. We find out by the performance evaluation that large-scale applications can sufficiently run on mobile devices such as cellular phones when using our mobile cluster computing engine.

We first report an application of plastic LCDs to 2D-3D convertible mobile phones. Plastic LCDs are proven to be most suitable solution for filter LCDs attached on main LCDs of 3D mobile phones in terms of quality and cost wises. The design and fabrication of plastic LCD filters are discussed in this paper.

As the mobile computing technologies rapidly develops, the mobile phones are evolving into smart phones capable of higher performance. However, it is inevitable that the mobile phones have limited input/output functions in order to maintain the current portability. Because of the limited input and output, the mobile user interfaces currently adopt the inefficient structures based on sequential search and selection. In this paper, an intelligent and adaptive user interface techniques are proposed in order to surmount the current inefficiency of the static interface and to maximize the user convenience. The proposed techniques, based on the users' previous tasks, automatically generate an intelligent and adaptive user interface in order to make users efficiently utilize the mobile services.

In this paper, it is analyzed lumped element isolators analytically by the analysis program using scattering matrixes including ferrite saturation magnetization, external direct current magnetic field and strip line length and width, designed and experimented the small isolator of mobile phone. The simulation results show that the characteristics of the isolator are affected by external R, C, length and width of strip line and ferrite width and saturation magnetization sensitivity. We proposed the isolator specification applied cellular and PCS mobile phones, experimented the isolator for cellular mobile phones. From the experimented result, isolation and return loss are measured below 20 dB, insertion loss is below 0.7 dB, bandwidth is about 44 MHz at center frequency 836.5 KHz. The implemented isolator has better performances than the conventional one.

In this paper we present a light weighted robust Korean morphological analyzer for mobile devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, and PDA phones. Such mobile devices are not suitable for natural language interfaces for their low CPU performance and memory restriction. In order to overcome the difficulties we propose 1) an online analysis by using Key Event Handler mechanism, 2) and a robust analysis of the Korean sentences with spacing errors without its correction pre-processing. We adapt the proposed Korean analyzer to a Korean-English mobile translator, which shows 5.8% memory usage reduction and 19.0% enhancement of average response time.
