Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), based on already well-researched Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), has been under vigorous scrutiny since recent developments in robot technology. Robots may be more successful in establishing common ground in project-based education or foreign language learning for children than in traditional media. Backed by its strong IT environment and advances in robot technology, Korea has developed the world's first available e-Learning home robot. This has demonstrated the potential for robots to be used as a new educational media - robot-learning, referred to as 'r-Learning'. Robot technology is expected to become more interactive and user-friendly than computers. Also, robots can exhibit various forms of communication such as gestures, motions and facial expressions. This study compared the effects of non-computer based (NCB) media (using a book with audiotape) and Web-Based Instruction (WBI), with the effects of Home Robot-Assisted Learning (HRL) for children. The robot gestured and spoke in English, and children could touch its monitor if it did not recognize their voice command. Compared to other learning programs, the HRL was superior in promoting and improving children's concentration, interest, and academic achievement. In addition, the children felt that a home robot was friendlier than other types of instructional media. The HRL group had longer concentration spans than the other groups, and the p-value demonstrated a significant difference in concentration among the groups. In regard to the children's interest in learning, the HRL group showed the highest level of interest, the NCB group and the WBI group came next in order. Also, academic achievement was the highest in the HRL group, followed by the WBI group and the NCB group respectively. However, a significant difference was also found in the children's academic achievement among the groups. These results suggest that home robots are more effective as regards children's learning concentration, learning interest and academic achievement than other types of instructional media (such as: books with audiotape and WBI) for English as a foreign language.

Human-computer interaction is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive systems for human use. In this paper we suggest designing a smart deaf emergency application based on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principles whereas nowadays everything around us is becoming smart, People already have smartphones, smartwatches, smart cars, smart houses, and many other technologies that offer a wide range of useful options. So, a smart mobile application using Text Telephone or TeleTYpe technology (TTY) has been proposed to help people with deafness or impaired hearing to communicate and seek help in emergencies. Deaf people find it difficult to communicate with people, especially in emergency status. It is stipulated that deaf people In all societies must have equal rights to use emergency services as other people. With the proposed application the deafness or impaired hearing can request help with one touch, and the location will be determined, also the user status will be sent to the emergency services through the application, making it easier to reach them and provide them with assistance. The application contains several classifications and emergency status (traffic, police, road safety, ambulance, fire fighting). The expected results from this design are interactive, experiential, efficient, and comprehensive features of human-computer interactive technology which may achieve user satisfaction.

본 논문은 기존 립모션 장비에 홀로그램과 햅틱 장비를 결합함으로써 향상된 몰입감과 사용 용이성을 제공할 수 있는 사용자 인터페이스를 제시한다. 립모션은 사용자 손동작의 물리적 행동이 직접 가상의 화면상에 영향을 주는 장치인데, 화면상의 가상 손모양을 제어해야 한다는 점과 가상환경에서의 영향을 사용자에게 전달할 수 없다는 한계를 가진다. 우리는 홀로그램을 립모션과 결합시켜 사용자로 하여금 실제 손과 가상 화면을 같은 공간에 배치함으로써 몰입감을 향상시킨다. 아울러 사용자의 손에 촉각을 전달할 수 있는 햅틱 장비를 장착하여 감각의 상호 작용을 실현하는 프로타입을 제시한다.

모바일폰의 LCD 전면화 추세로 인해 터치스크린을 기반으로 하는 모바일폰이 컨셉폰의 형태로 선보여지고 있고, 부분적으로 터치스크린을 차용한 모바일폰이 국내, 국외에 출시되고 있다. 터치스크린은 간편하고 직관적인 조작감을 제공하며 유동적인 인터페이스를 가능하게 하는 장점이 있다. 그리고 이러한 터치스크린의 장점을 적극적으로 활용할 수 있도록 하는 진보된 인터랙션 스타일도 다양하게 제안되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 터치스크린 기반의 모바일폰은 스타일러스를 그대로 사용하듯, 제한적이고 전형적인 인터렉션만을 제공하고 있고, 제안된 진보된 인터렉션 스타일들도 터치스크린 기반의 모바일폰에 직접적으로 활용하기는 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구는 진보된 인터랙션 스타일 중에서, 원 포인팅과 2개 이상의 포인팅이 가능한 멀티 포인팅 인터랙션을 연구하여 터치스크린기반의 Full LCD 모바일폰에 적합한 인터랙션 스타일을 제안한다. 이를 위해, 인터랙션에 대한 문헌연구와 함께 터치스크린을 기반으로 하는 다양한 디지털기기를 검토해보고, 터치스크린에 적용 가능한 진보된 인터랙션 사례들을 조사하였다. 그 후 터치디스크린 기반의 디지털기기를 사용하는 사용자의 행태를 파악하기 위한 유저테스트 및 인터뷰를 실시하여, 터치스크린 기반의 모바일폰에서 구현되어야 할 상세 인터랙션 스타일을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 인터랙션 스타일은 다양한 사용자 경험을 가능하게 하여 고기능, 고사양화 되어가는 모바일폰의 UI를 보다 효과적으로 사용하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

This study explored and described the life course of poor female household heads. The data was gathered by in-depth interviews with thirteen poor female heads of households. Most of poor female household heads grew up in poor families. nev could not be educated properly due to their families' poverty and boy preference, and they moved to urban areas to become informal sector laborers. After the marriages, their living conditions became worse, because many of them got married to so lazy men who had alcoholic problems that were not willing to provide their families. The poor female heads of households were under difficulties owing to low income and unstable labor Condition. The economic hardship disturbed the interaction with kins and friends. Although they got in touch with these people, they had uncomfortable feelings because they did not have enough resources which made these relationships reciprocal. Therefore, social welfare policy were essential to support the poor female heads of households.
