Recently, with the advent of smart phones, it brought many changes in lives of modern people. Especially, application utilizing the sensor information of smart phone, which provides the service adapted by user situations, has been emerged. Sensor data of smart phone can be used for recognizing the user situation, Because it is closely related to the behavior and habits of the user. currently, GPS sensor one of mobile sensor has been utilized a lot to recognize basic user activity. But, depending on the user situation, activity recognition system cannot receive GPS signal, and also not collect received data. So utilization is reduced. In this paper, for solving this problem, we suggest a method of user activity recognition that focused on the accelerometer sensor data using smart phone. Accelerometer sensor is stable to collect the data and it's sensitive to user behavior. Finally this paper suggests a noble approach to use state transition diagrams which represent the natural flow of user activity changes for enhancing the accuracy of user activity recognition.

Objective: This study is to review the current state of services offered to pharmacy users, and develop a service design converging a prescription service and a smart phone application service in order to enhance patients' experience at pharmacies and home. Background: Under the new medical system; separation of prescribing and dispensing drugs, a doctor writes a prescription to their patients and patients have their prescription filled at the pharmacy. As the number of flue, allergy and atopy patients has increased, waiting lines have been longer at pharmacies. Besides, the current medical service system lacks of providing proper information on prescribed pills to patients. There are already services offered during waiting times such as offering free drinks, magazines or suggesting general drugs which you can buy without prescription, however they neither cover the current medical service's shorts nor shorten the waiting time. Method: I researched objective and perceived waiting times reduction methods, the current service status at pharmacies, and the government's policy direction in a medical service. Also, I observed a patient's journey from the hospital to pharmacy and then home. I examined the circumstance at pharmacies, patients' behaviors and their thoughts during their journey, and extracted three main goals to design a service in order to help patients have positive perception during the waiting time; (1) to reduce the perceived time by the way of visualizing time and offering readings about what patients consider necessary, (2) to educate patients what they are into and how to get through, (3) to establish trust among patients, doctors and pharmacists. Based on three goals, I designed a structure and a wireframe for a new service application of smart phones. Results: With a new service design for pharmacy users, users can track their medical record and visit the information about their current medical treatments anytime. Also the service helps patients build reliable relationships with doctors and pharmacists. Conclusion: Experience is not just an activity but series of multiple activities. The serving range of a medical service should not be determined by stakeholders but user's holistic experience. By approaching a service design with a holistic vision, it can enrich not only a temporary experience but also a whole life well being. Application: Since there are already many service applications advising patients about their illness and finding right doctors, this service design is focused on the experience from getting a prescription till feeling better. The next move is to combine those two parts medical services and design an integrated service application. As a prescription is going to be coded in numbers, we might consider to design an un-attended pharmacy which can shorten huge amount of time for filling prescriptions.

Accordingly the number of smart-phone-based malicious codes is also increasing and their techniques for malicio us purpose are getting more clever and evolved. Among them, the malicious codes related to Android take the major portion and it can be estimated that they are based on open source so that the access to the system is easy. Intent is a technique to support the communication between application's components by transmitting message subjects in Android. Intent provides convenience to developers, but it can be utilized as security vulnerability that allows the developer with a malicious purpose to control the system as intended. The vulnerability of intent security is that personal information can be accessed using discretionally its proper function given to application and smart phone's functions can be maliciously controlled. This paper improves with the Intent security vulnerability caused by the smart phone users' discretional use of custom kernel. Lastly, it verifies the malicious behaviors in the process of installing an application and suggests a technique to watch the Intent security vulnerability in realtime after its installation.

Currently, wireless power transmission technology based on magnetic induction was employed in battery charger for smart phone application. The system consists of wireless power transmitter in base station and receiver in smart phone. Size and thickness of receiver was strictly limited in the newest smart phone. In order to achieve high efficiency of a tiny small wireless power receiver module, sub-millimeter thick electromagnetic wave shielding sheet having high permeability and Q was essential component. It was found that magnetic field from transmitter to receiver can be intensified by sufficient shielding cause to minimize leakage magnetic flux by those magnetic properties. This leads to high efficiency of wireless power transmission and protects crucial integrated circuit of main board from electromagnetic noise. The important soft magnetic materials were introduced and summarized for the current small-power wireless power charger and NFC application and mid-power home appliance and high-power automotive application in the near future.

Data transmission via the car driver's tethered smart phone may have a volume-dependent billing in case car driver' phone transmits data in real-time to the remote data center. The on-board diagnosis data generated are temporary stored locally to mobile remote diagnosis application on the car driver's phone, and then transmit to the data center later when car driver connects to the Internet. To increase the easiest of using the remote vehicle application without blocking other tasks to be executing on the cloud, node.js stands as a suitable candidate for handling tasks of data storage on the cloud via mobile network. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture by simulating a preliminary case study of an android application responsible of real time analysis by using a vehicle-to- smart phones applications interface approach that considers the smart phones to act as a remote user which passes driver inputs and delivers output from external applications. In this paper, we propose a study on development of Remote Vehicle fault diagnostic system features web server architecture based event loop approach using node.js platform, and wireless communication to handle vehicle diagnostics data to a data center.

In this paper, we design a smart phone UX/UI and a tap pattern recognition algorithm that can recognize tap patterns from a tapping user's fingers on the screen, and implement an application that provides user-customizable smart phones's services from the tap patterns. A user can generate a pattern by tapping the input pad several times and register it by using a smart phone's favorite program. More specifically, when the user inputs a tap pattern on the input pad, the proposed application searches a stored similar tap pattern and can run a service registered on it by measuring tap pattern similarity. Our experimental results show that the proposed method helps to guarantee the higher recognition rate and shorter input time for a variety of tap patterns.
