Traditional Chinese patterns are known for their unusual and attractive visual symbols with unique artistic characteristics and practical values.In mobile game UI design, traditional Chinese pattern has important meaning and value in interface design.The research aims to extract elements of traditional Chinese patterns and apply them to the design of mobile game UI, and better fuse traditional patterns into the design of mobile phone UI.Through literature analysis on traditional Chinese patterns and mobile UI interface case analysis, we learned the design principles and design methods of traditional Chinese pattern elements in mobile game UI.

Although a great deal of research has been carried out recently with the rise of importance of the UI design, little research has been conducted on the new Neumorphism design. Given the paucity of the research, we demonstrated the development process of GUI design, focusing on the UI design trends, Skeuomorphism, Flat, Material design and the emerging Neumorphism design. Based on this, the aim of the study is to look into the possibility of Neumorphism design, which is currently drawing attention, as the new UI design trends. This study was ordered as follows in two ways. First, drawing from the work of literature, we illustrated the UI design trends by considering the Skeuomorphism, Flat, and Material Design which were before the advent of the Neumorphism design. In addition, we conducted a study on the characteristics and limitations of the UI design trends through actual cases in which UI designs were applied. Second, the Material design as the most recent UI design trends and the Neumorphism design were compared with the method of expression based on the definition and characteristics of Neumorphism design that we investigated. In this context, we also analyzed the possibility of Neumorphism becoming the new UI design trend. We proposed an application of the design to maximize the benefits. This study is meaningful in that the Neumorphism design, which has yet to be studied, is likely to become the UI design trends in the future.

The domestic game market is still on a trend of growth. Particularly, as the demand for mobile games is increased, the mobile version is developed in a growing number of cases even after the launch of the games for PCS. In a bid to search for the effective method of UI design depending on the differences between the platforms, this study analyzed the types of different media in the first place and as the approaches to the UI design based on the affordance concept, implemented on the platform of PCS and implemented on the platform of mobile devices were analyzed as the cases which are the same MMORPG games. Since the differences between the game platforms can cause the variations in the physical size of the screens depending on the environment in which the user interface (UI) is rendered and may often involve the controls implemented by the touch of screens rather than the manipulation based on the keyboard and mouse, they usually give the influences on the direction of UI designs. By analyzing these UI elements based on the affordance concept, it may be possible to find the effective method of UI design in the future.

The purpose of this study is to organize the system of special characters as UX/UI icon design elements, thus laying the groundwork for improvement direction for unclear use regulations. This study examines the theoretical background of UX/UI design and special characters and discovers UX/UI design and special characters' relations and assignments. Besides, the case study summarizes the system of special characters being utilized in the company's UX/UI icon design guidelines to produce the study results. As a result of the analysis, the special character types being utilized in UX/UI were graphic characters, mathematical symbols, punctuation marks, and parentheses. And the special characters commonly used in analysis cases, iOS, Android, and Windows, are ▶, ♥, ★, ○, ⊙, +, ×, ⋯. So this study organizes the common characters to standardize them. Hopefully, this study contributes to increasing the interest in the study of 'special characters' in the UX/UI design field and helps establish a framework for future industrial standards.

The mobile game environment is rapidly expanding with AR (augmented reality) technology along with artificial intelligence. In particular, AR (Augmented Reality) technology is a field of VR (Virtual Reality), which is a technology that shows a mixture of virtual information and images in a real environment. Recently, research on mobile UI design based on the interaction based on the augmented reality technology has become important at the point when various utilization methods are suggested based on understanding of contents. There are still some issues in terms of whether the consumer can utilize it in various ways, unlike the developed supply system. In this paper, we present an example of mobile UI design based on interaction based on smart media augmented reality through previous study and literature study of smart augmented reality to solve problem UI issues based on background theory.

The number of domestic users of OTT services is gradually increasing, and users can consume content more freely through OTT services that can consume content in various ways unlike existing broadcasting systems. As the service utilization rate increases and consumption patterns diversify, useful and convenient UI design and usability should be considered from the user's point of view, but research on the app UI design of OTT service is still insufficient. Therefore, in this study, UI design components were compared and analyzed for the top five mobile apps in Korea's OTT platform utilization rate, and usability evaluation was conducted through surveys and in-depth interviews with 10 people in their 20s. Based on the analysis results, the direction of improvement of OTT service mobile apps in the future was presented, and the results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for improving UI design and usability of OTT mobile apps in the future.

The study aims to design an integrated remote controller, which is an increasingly essential device in the home, for more convenient use. For this purpose, an alternative user interface (UI) design was developed by applying the user interface system of a popular existing product to an integrated remote control highly usable and easy to learn for domestic use, and the usability was evaluated. For the existing popular product, a cellular phone was selected, the operation method of which is similar to the stick-type integrated remote control for which the user interface design was to be developed in this research. Common characteristics of the UI of the selected cellular phone were derived and the characteristics were applied as much as possible to the design of a stick-type integrated remote control. The prototype of the alternative design, which was simulated with Flash, went through two pilot tests for further improvement before making the final experimental prototype. Based on the results, prototype buttons that improved the feeling of use in terms of physical operation and feedback were made, and the usability of the new UI design of a stick-type integrated remote control for domestic use were evaluated with 41 university students in their 20s. According to the results of the experiment, the newly designed stick-type integrated remote control based on the UI of an existing product may improve the usability of remote controls and the outcome of this study is expected to provide a good model for R&D of new UI designs of stick-type integrated remote controls for domestic use.

The purpose of this study is to study the elements that make up the interface design of the applicatio, focusing on Android's Google Material Design Guidelines. and propose a way to produce the UI design guide by categorizing it according to form and combination methods. The components provided by the Materials Design Guidelines were disassembled form and attributes, types, and the characteristics. The components of UI design include surfaces, letters, icons, and media, which enable the creation of UI style guides, and the components for the purpose of exploring and communicating information, with different components and rules of use used for the purpose. Based on these results, I would like to propose design criteria for the interface of mobile applications and how to utilize it effectively.
