The study period was from February 19, 2018 to May 11, 2018, and users were allowed to access the Roly Poly 160 app at least once a day for a total of 8 to 12 weeks after the preliminary investigation. As a result, HbA1C was significantly decreased(p=0.04), and diabetic knowledge was significantly higher than that before the follow-up(p=0.01).

Even though the mobile game industry has been expanding every year, Korean games are losing its places in the market. Therefore, the analysis of a successful game such as is vital for diagnosing Korea's game content and its lack of direction. This study utilizes K. Masanao's Matrix for Creating Profit System for analyzing 's factors for its success. First, the game has incorporated puzzle and RPG contents for creating a new genre, which led various age groups to play the game. Second, the developers have applied 'limited time' in-game festivals and collaborations between the game and famous contents such as God Festival and Character Draw system to increase the profit revenue. Third, the company communicated with on and off line players to seek their needs for developing the game's better development. Consequently, the three success factors of deduced from this study not only reflect the related researches and academic values, but also contribute for the search in finding better ways to developing game contents for Korean mobile game industry.

As the world's population ages, the incidence of dementia is increasing, and the psychological and economic burden on patients and their families is becoming a major social issue. As a result, various solutions are being sought to prevent dementia. In this study, we designed and implemented a serious game consisting of three types of mini-games aimed at effective dementia prevention, and improved the limitations of existing dementia prevention serious games as follows. Firstly, by implementing the game in a 3D environment, we were able to provide users with an enhanced play environment and experience. Secondly, by implementing three different mini-games to choose from, we were able to provide users with a variety of fun and experiences, as well as a variety of brain training. Third, by providing game content that can train not only spatial or visual cognitive abilities, but also visual and auditory cognitive abilities in combination, we have improved the efficacy of improving users' cognitive ability and memory. Fourth, we made it more accessible to users by supporting cross-platform play on PC or mobile devices.

According to rapid advent of the smartphone, software technologies which have been used on PCs are being introduced into the smartphone. This paper introduces an implementation of an application software under the Android platform using morphing and warping technology. It composes two face images with morphing technology and also transforms an original face image using warping technology for fun. For this, the image is triangulated by Delaunay Triangulation based on control points which are created by simple LCD touches on the mobile device. The implementation case of this paper will be a good reference for the development of applications like games using morphing and warping technologies over Android platforms.

Recently, various cloud service has been being provided on mobile devices as well as desktop pc and server computer. Also, Smartphone users are very rapidly increasing, and they are using it for enjoying various services(cloud service, game, banking service, mobile office, etc.). So, research to utilize resources on mobile device has been conducted. In this paper, We have suggested efficient method of cloud resource management by using information of available physical resources(CPU, memory, storage, etc.) between mobile devices, and information of physical resource in mobile device. Suggested technology is possible to guarantee real-time process and efficiently manage resources.
