The customer satisfaction of WAP service greatly relies on the usability of the service due to the limited display size of a mobile phone and limitation in realizing UI (User Interface) for function keys, browser, and OS (operating system) Currently, a number of contents providers develop and deliver varying services, and thus, it is critical to control quality level of UI in consistent standards and manner. This study suggests usability index evaluation system to achieve consistent UI quality control of various WAP services. The system adopts both top-down and bottom-up approaches. The former concerns deriving UI design components and evaluation checklists for the WAP, based on the usability attributes and UI principles. The latter concerns deriving usability-related evaluation checklists from the established UI design features, and then grouping them from the viewpoint of usability principles and attributes. This bidirectional approach has two outstanding advantages: it allows thorough examination of potential elements that can cause usability problems from the standpoint of usability attributes, and also derives specific evaluation elements from the perspective of UI design components that are relevant to the real service environment. The evaluation system constitutes a hierarchical structure by networking usability attributes, UI guideline which indicates usability principles for each attribute, and usability evaluation checklist for each UI component that enables specific evaluation. Especially, each evaluation checklist contains concrete contents and format so that it can be readily marked in O/X. The score is based on the ratio of number of items that received positive answer to the number of total items. This enables a quantitative evaluation of the usability of mobile WAP service. The validity of the proposed evaluation system has been proved through comparative analysis with the real usability problems based on the user test. A software was developed that provides guideline for evaluation objects, criteria and examples for each checklist, and automatically calculates a score. The software was applied to evaluating and improving the real mobile WAP service.

With the advent of the various device types and marketing communication, customer's search and purchase behavior have become more complex and segmented. However, extant research on multichannel marketing effects of the purchase funnel has not reflected the specific features of device User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX). In this study, we analyzed the marketing channel effects of multi-device shoppers using a unique click stream dataset from global online retailers. We examined device types that activate online shopping and compared the differences between marketing channels that promote visits. In addition, we estimated the direct and indirect effects on visits and purchase revenue through customer's accumulated experience and channel conversions. The findings indicate that the same customer selects a different marketing channel according to the device selection. These results can help retailers gain a better understanding of customers' decision-making process in multi-marketing channel environment and devise the optimal strategy taking into account various device types. Our empirical analyses yield business implications based on the significant results from global big data analytics and contribute academically meaningful theoretical framework using an economic model. We also provide strategic insights attributed to the practical value of an online marketing manager.

최근 3D 모바일 게임이 이슈가 되고 있다. 휴대폰이 필수품인 시대가 왔고 휴대폰만 있으면 어디서든 게임을 즐길 수 있다는 점 때문에 모바일 게임 산업은 급속도로 발전하고 있다. 그리고 점차 모바일 환경이 하드웨어가 발전하고 3D 가 지원되는 게임 전용폰이 나오면서 모바일 3D 게임이 많이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 휴대폰의 기본 기능은 통화하는 것이니 만큼 PC 에서의 게임이나 플레이스테이션 같은 게임기와는 구조에 차이가 있다. 모바일 환경에서는 휴대폰 버튼만을 사용하여야 한다는 제약이 있다. 그래서 현재 출시된 여거 모바일 게임의 UI 와 기존 PC 게임의 UI 를 비교하고 휴대폰이라는 제한된 환경에서의 도시경영 3D 시뮬레이션 게임을 위한 효율적인 UI 를 만들고자 하였다. 휴대폰에서는 마우스를 사용할 수 없기 때문에 기본적인 게임 조작은 전부 버튼으로 조작할 수 있게 하였다. 그리고 도시경영시뮬레이션 게임이기 때문에 일반 아케이드 게임이나 캐주얼게임에 비해 상대적으로 메뉴가 많고 복잡하다. 그래서 사용자가 설명을 바로 보면서 메뉴를 선택할 수 있도록 메뉴선택은 전부 숫자버튼을 사용하였다. 그리고 사용자가 메뉴를 외우고 있지 않아도 사용가능 하도록 화면 위에 메뉴설명이 같이 나오게 하였다. 사용자는 메뉴별 설명을 보면서 원하는 쪽으로 선택을 하게 된다. 지역설정에서는 마우스의 드래그기능이 안되기 때문에 처음시작점과 끝부분을 선택하여 마우스를 대신하였다.

Objective: This study aims to implement a non-contact gesture-based interface for presentation purposes and to analyze the effect of the proposed interface as information transfer assisted device. Background: Recently, research on control device using gesture recognition or speech recognition is being conducted with rapid technological growth in UI/UX area and appearance of smart service products which requires a new human-machine interface. However, few quantitative researches on practical effects of the new interface type have been done relatively, while activities on system implementation are very popular. Method: The system presented in this study is implemented with KINECT$^{(R)}$ sensor offered by Microsoft Corporation. To investigate whether the proposed system is effective as a presentation support tool or not, we conduct experiments by giving several lectures to 40 participants in both a traditional lecture room(keyboard-based presentation control) and a non-contact gesture-based lecture room(KINECT-based presentation control), evaluating their interests and immersion based on contents of the lecture and lecturing methods, and analyzing their understanding about contents of the lecture. Result: We check that whether the gesture-based presentation system can play effective role as presentation supporting tools or not depending on the level of difficulty of contents using ANOVA. Conclusion: We check that a non-contact gesture-based interface is a meaningful tool as a sportive device when delivering easy and simple information. However, the effect can vary with the contents and the level of difficulty of information provided. Application: The results presented in this paper might help to design a new human-machine(computer) interface for communication support tools.
