  • Children exhibit different behaviors, skills, and motivations. The main aim of this research was to investigate children's sensibility factors for icons, and to look for the best typeface for application to Web-Based Instruction (WBI) for e-Learning. Three types of icons were used to assess children's sensibilities toward metaphors: text-image, representational, and spatial mapping. Through the factor analysis, we found that children exhibited more diverse reactions to the text-image and representational types of icons than to the spatial mapping type of icons. Children commonly showedn higher sensibilities to the aesthetic-factor than to the familiarity-factor or the brevity-factor. In addition, we propose a collaborative-typeface system, which recommends the best typeface for children regarding the readability and aesthetic factor in WBI. Based on these results, we venture some suggestions on icon design and typeface selection for e-Learning.

  • Animation creates meaning and affection by combinig image and sound like film. directed by Yuri Norstein is a good text for analyzing animation sound in that it combines image and various music and sound effects well. This study focuses on analyzing the way that sound function to make meaning in this text. Generally sound is categorized into dialogue, music, and sound effect. And animation has its own characteristic in each category. The voice for dialogue is created corresponding to the image of the character and the rhythm is very important in Animation. Plus Sound effect in animation can be said to mimic not just sound but also movement. This study analyzes sound based on three sound factors and the concepts of the point of listening, subjective sound, and sound bridge. Subjective sound using the point of listening of the wolf and the baby bestows a special position on the main characters in the text. It is the overall characteristic of the sound use of this text that the repetitive combination of sound and image, the linguistic and annotative function of sound effect, and comparatively conventional use of music and sound effect enhance the affection and readability.

  • Effectiveness of information conveyance in reading is affected by several factors such as line length, letter size, line spacing arrangement as well as typeface itself. This study examined relative importance of these factors by asking people to read the texts that was constituted with non-square form letter and rank the preference of texts through conjoint analysis. In the case of reading time, justification was the most important factor, followed by leading, line spacing, letter width, line length, font size, font type in their order of importance. And in the case of preference decision, letter width was the most important factor, followed by font size, justification, line spacing, leading, line length, font type. The result will be useful in understanding how to consider human preference in the hangul typography.

  • In order to analyze big data, documents should be converted to a open standard format to increase machine readability. It also need natural language processing tools. This study focused on the background of intelligent document processing and the status of research in the public sector, and predicted the changes in work that intelligent document processing would bring. This study noted the changes that intelligent document processing would bring to the archival work, and also considered changes in the role of archivist and their required competencies. Changes in archival work could be anticipated across a wide range of Records Management work and Archives Management work. In particular, it was expected to have a significant impact on the automation of repetitive archival tasks or the description and utilization of records. This study proposed the need to prepare new archival work procedures, methods, and necessary competencies in response to these change in archival work.

  • In this paper, two color contrast evaluation algorithms, W3C and NSSC algorithms are compared and investigated to select proper criteria of the color contrast of text-background color combinations in web documents. The relationship between the color contrast defined by existing formula and the readability rating is not perfect and there is quite a bit of variance, in particular, there is some substantial outlier. I modify the NSSC algorithm to apply all colors and compare the two algorithms to apply same color combinations of web safe colors. A new algorithm considering color temperature feeling as a component of the color contrast is proposed and implemented. As the results of this study, the existing two algorithms are not contradictory to each other, 82% of all color combinations of web safe colors are not proper combinations according to W3C guide which provide severe restriction to select colors in web documents compared to NSSC algorithm. Experimental test shows proposed algorithm is superior to the W3C algorithm with respect to the linearity of relationship between color contrast and readability rating. It means a color temperature feeling is an effective component of a color contrast. But to determine best contribution ratio of the color temperature feeling, further study is required and it is related to Hangul font style and size. The more popular a mobile color display is used, the more important accessibility factor a color contrast will be.

  • Displays, playing an essential role in HCI, have been developed to deliver more vivid and live pictures. LCD and PDP have the most common usage among various displays to present the dynamic textual information in restricted and open places. Important and unsolicited information is being provided by hundreds of displays while we don't even perceive the information. Watching context, effective color combinations of the text and background, speeds of presentation, contexts, and types of display for leading method, moving words cross the display from right to left, were investigated with readability, comprehensibility, and overall satisfaction were compared. LCD peformed better than PDP on all comparisons u4th typical text (black, white) and background (white, black) color better than other color combinations. Normal and fast text presentation was believed more preferred when only textual information was given while slower presentation was evaluated more efficient if multimedia contents were presented with textual information.

  • CAPTCHA is a security tool that prevents the automatic sign-up by a spam or a robot. This CAPTCHA usually depends on the smart readability of humans. However, the common and plain CAPTCHA with text-based system is not difficult to be solved by intelligent web-bot and machine learning tools. In this paper, we propose a new sub-image based CAPTCHA system totally different from the text based system. Our system offers a set of cropped sub-image from a whole digital picture and asks user to identify the correct orientation. Though there are some nice machine learning tools for this job, but they are useless for a cropped sub-images, which was clearly revealed by our experiment. Experiment showed that our sub-image based CAPTCHA is easy to human solver, but very hard to all kinds of machine learning or AI tools. Also our CAPTCHA is easy to be generated automatical without any human intervention.

  • This study surveyed the reading discomforts and the reasons for discomfortable reading of the safety and health information (texts and icons) presented on the agricultural vehicles/machines, pesticides, fertilizers, and feeds. Eighty seven people residing in rural area participated in the survey interview. Questionnaire survey showed that the most discomfortable product in reading the texts was pesticides. Forty three (49%) among participants had very-discomfortable or discomfortable in reading the texts used in the label of pesticides, and the main reason for the discomfort was small text size. The reading discomforts in reading the texts (varied from 4 point to 19 point and presented in 50 cm reading distance) showed different pattern according to the age groups. Three age groups (50s, 60s and older than 70s) showed a similar discomfort pattern, but different from the group of 30s and 40s. Forty four people (51%) had a problem in understanding the meaning of the icons and the main reasons were the small size and the difficulty in inferring the meaning of the icons. Thus, the more detailed and practical guidelines for the presentation format, particularly about the text heights and the size of icons, are required. Also, more comprehensive research is needed to investigate the readability and legibility of texts and icons.

  • In the era of big data, analyzing not only structured data but also unstructured data is emerging as an important task. Official documents produced by government agencies are also subject to big data analysis as large text-based unstructured data. From the perspective of internal work efficiency, knowledge management, records management, etc, it is necessary to analyze big data of public documents to derive useful implications. However, since many of the public documents currently held by public institutions are not in open format, a pre-processing process of extracting text from a bitstream is required for big data analysis. In addition, since contextual metadata is not sufficiently stored in the document file, separate efforts to secure metadata are required for high-quality analysis. In conclusion, the current official documents have a low level of machine readability, so big data analysis becomes expensive.
