  • Due to the development of mobile technologies, the carrier (telecommunications) billing service market is rapidly growing. carrier (telecommunications) billing service allows users to make on-line purchases through mobile-billing. Users find this particularly convenient because the payment acts as a credit transaction. Furthermore, the system is commonly believed to be secure through its use of SMS (Short Message Service) authentication and a real-time transaction history to confirm the transaction. Unfortunately, there is a growing number of fraudulent transactions threaten the future of this system. The more well documented types of security breaches involves hackers intercepting the authentication process. By contaminating the device with security breaching applications, hackers can secretly make transactions without notifying users until the end of month phone bill. This study sheds light on the importance of this societal threat and suggests solutions. In particular, "secure" systems need to be more proactive in addressing the methods hackers use to make fraudulent transactions. Our research partially covers specific methods to prevent fraudulent transactions on carrier billing service providers' systems. We discuss about the proposed improvements such as complement of electronic payment systems, active promotion for fraudulent transactions enhanced monitoring, fraud detection and introduce a new authentication service. This research supports a future of secure communications billing services, which is essential to expanding new markets.

  • Introduction: Although continuing education is necessary for practicing nurses, it is very difficult to organize traditional classes because of large numbers of nurses and working shifts. Considering the increasing development of mobile electronic learning, we carried out a study to compare effects of the traditional face to face method with mobile learning delivered as text messages by cell phone. Materials and Methods: Sixty female nurses working in our hospital were randomly divided into class and short message service (SMS) groups. Lessons concerning breast cancer screening were prepared as 54 messages and sent in 17 days for the SMS group, while the class group participated in a class held by a university lecturer of breast and cancer surgery. Pre- and post-tests were undertaken for both groups at the same time; a retention test also was performed one month later. For statistical analysis, the paired T test and the independent sample T test were used with SPSS software version 16; p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: Mean age and mean work experience of participants in class and SMS groups was $35.8{\pm}7.2$, $9.8{\pm}6.7$, $35.4{\pm}7.3$, and $11.5{\pm}8.5$, respectively. There was a significant increase in mean score post-tests (compared with pretests) in both groups (p<0.05). Although a better improvement in scores of retention tests was demonstrated in the SMS group, the mean subtraction value of the post- and pretests as well as retention- and pretests showed no significant difference between the 2 groups (p=0.3 and p =0.2, respectively). Conclusions: Our study shows that teaching via SMS may probably replace traditional face to face teaching for continuing education in working nurses. Larger studies are suggested to confirm this.

  • This study is part of a project to develop and improve mooring systems for oceanographic use that include an electro-optical sensor, 1MHz Nortek Aquadopp Doppler Profiler and AIRMAR multipurpose Sensor. The adaption of Doppler current profilers to measure directional wave spectra has provided a new instrumentation approach to coastal and nearshore oceanographic studies. The HEIOB is developed are light weight and of a compact design, and can be easily installed in marine environment. Since there are no base station and gateways in marine environments, we selected CDMA and Orbcomm to send the data information. Therefore, the data can be sent by either e-mail service or Short Message Service (SMS). This paper will present some of scientific sensor results regarding real-time oceanographic and meteorological parameters such as wind spend, wind direction, wave direction, and etc. The modeling and test results highlight the engineering challenges associated with designing these systems for long lifetimes. It can also be used in future application to build wave observation buoy network in real-time using multiple ubiquitous buoys that share wave data and allow analysis of multipoint, multi-layer wave profiler.

  • CRM(Customer Relationship Management) improves the competitiveness of small companies to large enterprises. E-mail, SMS (Short Message Service), telephony service, DM (Direct Mail) are used for customer response in many companies. In order to improve company's profit, business diversification is in progress with protecting the succession of existing customers, and the only of new customers. Futhermore, BPR (Business Process Re-engineering) and BPM (Business Process Management) of the CRM can be easily found in many companies, because it is the first contact point to the company at the customer's view. This paper discusses the development of CRM, and proposes a call object routing agent that is the main engine of the CRM. Result of performance evaluation of proposed method show that the system is effective and powerful enough to use at the multi-channel environment.

  • This paper describes an advanced unified communication system. The advanced unified communications mean a service that integrates basic communications such as call, SMS, email, and chatting with social networking service considered as a new communication channel, presenting a unified user interface. The advanced unified communication system is composed of advanced UC(Unified Communications) applications, open UC service platform, and UC back-end servers. The advanced UC applications consist of web-based application and smart phone application. The open UC service platform provides a variety of service components that enable the third party applications to access basic communications and social network services within an enterprise. The UC back-end servers provide server functionalities for call, SMS, email, and chatting.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a six month web-based diabetic education on plasma glucose in people with diabetes. Method: A randomized design with control and experimental groups being assessed pre- and post-intervention was used. Seventeen patients were randomly assigned to a control group and 18 to an experimental group. Participants were requested to input the blood glucose level weekly to http://www.biodang.com by cellular phone or wire Internet for 6 months. The researcher sent optimal recommendations to each patient using the short message service (SMS) for cellular phone and wire Internet. Messages were sent weekly for 6 months. Results: Glycosylated hemoglobin ($HbA_1c$) decreased 1.5 percentage points at 3 months and 1.4 percentage points at 6 months compared with baseline in the intervention group. Patients in the intervention group had a decrease in 2 hours post meal glucose (2HPMG) of 94.3mg/dl at 3 months and 82.5mg/dl at 6 months compared with baseline. Conclusion: This web-based intervention using SMS for cellular phone improved HbAlc, and 2HPMG for six months in patients with type 2 diabetes.

  • 지난 7.7 DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service), 3.3 DDoS 대란을 통해서 보여주듯 DDoS 공격이 네트워크 주요 위협요소로 매우 부각되고 있으나, 공격에 대해서 실시간으로 감지하고 대응하기에 어렵다. 그리고 현재 여러 분야에서 매우 많은 용도로 사용되는 SMS(Short Message Service)도 DDoS 공격 수단으로 사용되어 이동전화 시스템에 큰 혼란을 야기할 수 있다. 기존의 Bloom Filter 탐지 기법은 구조가 간단하고 실시간 탐지가 가능한 장점을 갖지만 오탐지율에 대한 문제점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 목적지 기반의 다중의 해시함수를 사용한 Counting Bloom Filter 기법을 이용하여 임계치 이상 카운트된 동일한 목적지로 발송되는 SMS에 대하여 공격으로 탐지하고 SMSC에 통보하여 차단시키는 시스템을 제안한다.
