Recently, cloud computing has been viewed as a technology of great influence. Despite the importance of personal cloud services, the majority of cloud computing studies has been focused on an enterprise level. Therefore, in this research, we list variables of personal cloud computing characteristics (accessibility, storage, trust, perceived ease of use, availability) from preceding research done on an enterprise level. So, through pilot testing, we analyze whether examined characteristic variables affect the intention to use personal cloud computing. Next, we investigate the relevancy between user characteristics, including gender, age, and occupation, and the usage rate of personal cloud computing. Lastly, we implement an analysis of variance in order to speculate whether there is any difference between the five characteristic variables in using personal cloud computing between cloud service enterprises. For empirical testing people with experience in personal cloud computing are surveyed. Frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency analysis, T-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis are implemented with 325 valid samples. The analysis results are as follows: First, among user characteristic variables, 'occupation' shows a significant relationship with cloud service usage, Second, between cloud service enterprises, all five characteristic variables of 'Naver N Drive' are thoroughly evaluated and 'Google Drive' receives a high evaluation in availability and accessibility. Third and finally, all of the selected characteristic variables affect the intention to use personal cloud computing. However, availability is identified to be the most important factor. This research will serve as a reference to enterprises for the practical implementation of personal cloud computing service.

As military service members are fully permitted to use mobile phones for sickness after work, it is time to minimize the direct collection of personal information from telecommunication companies when opening mobile phones to secure the safety of military service personnel's personal information. Prior to introducing the use of mobile phones by soldiers after work, the Ministry of National Defense established a security control system such as blocking the mobile phone shooting function to prevent security accidents and concerns about some adverse functions such as illegal cyber gambling, game addiction, and viewing pornography. come. Mobile telecommunications companies entrust personal information processing tasks, such as opening mobile phones, to telecommunications agencies and carry out management and supervision, such as checking the status of personal information protection measures. When a military service member opens a mobile phone, a personal information management agency is newly established using the right to portability of personal information, and a system for requesting the transmission of personal information from the military service member is proposed.

This study investigated the perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of potential consumers toward using 3D printers to create their personal clothes. An online survey and a series of Welch's t-tests and ANOVA were conducted to investigate the differences in demographic characteristics, prior experiences in 3D printing, and levels of need for uniqueness among the sub-groups. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed to test the relationships among variables of the modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). There were significant differences in gender and prior experiences regarding the UTAUT of personal 3D printing. The need for uniqueness has a positive effect on consumers' intention to use 3D printing technology for designing personal clothes and perception of the price of the 3D printer used to create individual clothes is important. Positive relationships were found between UTAUT variables as well as the use and purchase intentions. This study analyzed the potential for popularization of 3D printing technology to create fashion items and explore consumer willingness to embrace and use personal fashion designs. The results of this study are expected to assist consumers, designers, retailers and marketers, and experts in 3D printing technology by providing insight into consumer awareness and acceptance of personalized 3D-printed fashion and products.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the factors affecting the intention to use the IPA focusing on functional characteristics. Based on the research result, this research has significance in that it not only suggested strategic guidelines for the related business operators, it also helped identify the factors that will influence the intention to use an intelligent personal assistant centering on the functional characteristics of the IPA. Design/methodology/approach Accordingly, in an attempt to identify factors that will influence the intention to use the intelligent personal assistant, we proposed a research model, together with a corresponding hypothesis, which incorporates the functional characteristics (personalization, anthropomorphism, autonomy, communication ability, contextual offer) and perceived enjoyment of the intelligent personal assistant into a technology acceptance model. To verify the research hypothesis of this research, we have conducted a questionnaire survey with individuals who have used an intelligent personal assistant as target. And with the data collected from 215 copies of the questionnaire survey, we have carried out a path analysis using the PLS structural equation. Findings As a result, it turned out that, of the IPA functional characteristics, personalization had a positive effect on perceived usefulness, autonomy had a positive effect on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Also, communication ability had a positive effect on perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment, and anthropomorphism and contextual offer had a positive effect on perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment and turned out to be major factors that increased the use intention of intelligent personal assistant.

This study developed seven assumptions to demonstrate the effect of personal innovation, social influences, service quality, mobility and accessibility on perceived usability, perceived convenience use and use intention using a technology acceptance model developed by Davis(1989), and the results are presented as follows: First, the assumption that personal innovation and service quality of mobile banking service will influence the perceived usability was adopted while the assumption that social influences will affect the perceived usability was rejected. Second, the assumption that mobility and accessibility of mobile banking services will influence the perceived convenient use was selected. Third, the assumption that the perceived usability of mobile banking service will influence use intention was rejected while the assumption that the convenient use will influence use intention was adopted. This study suggests that as personal innovation, service quality, mobility and accessibility have a significant influence on use of mobile banking, service providers should pay more attention to development of security programs and diversification of contents.

This paper aims to empirically examine how personal characteristics and social influence affect user acceptance of mobile web browsing service. To examine the intention to use mobile web browsing service, we applied the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which has been widely used to explain and predict the IT acceptance to this study. This research also includes personal characteristics such as computer self-efficacy, mobile self-efficacy, and personal innovativeness in IT and social influences such as subjective norms, image, and visibility as the external variables of the TAM. The results indicate that computer self-efficacy do not directly influence ease of use, but indirectly through mobile self-efficacy. And the results indicate that mobile self-efficacy and personal innovativeness in IT have direct effects on ease of use. Empirical results also show that subjective norms and image affect usefulness. Additional theoretical and practical implications of these findings are also discussed in the paper.

This paper deals with the personal computer based design for the sequential machines. Most part of sequential machine design have been implemented by using general purpose microprocessors in order to obtain the specific unctions required for their system. But, they have some difficulties in design stages. Knowledge of systems design method and high technology are basically applied to all the design stages.. Therefore ready made microcomputer system for personal use, personal computer, can be transformed to sequential machines by using the corresponding softwares and built-in personal computer input/output ports. Following the state transition diagram or table, we can obtain the ROM type of sequential machines directly and need not to design input/output interface except actuators and samplers because of capability of personal computer. Our main purpose of this design method are quick, flexible, reliable, modifiable circuit design of the sequential machines. In this paper, we use APPLE-II plus personal computer as target machine.
