As the usability and value of personal information increase, the importance of privacy protection has increased. In Korea, the scope of the use of pseudonymized personal information has increased because of revisions to the law. In the past, security technologies were used to safely store and manage personal information, but now, security technologies focused on usability are needed to safely use personal information. In this paper, we look at issues related to the de-identification and re-identification of personal information. Moreover, we examine the standards and techniques related to the de-identification of personal information.

Recently VR environment is used in many areas including mobile learning, smart factory. However HMD(head-mounted display) is required to a dedicated and expensive system with high-end specification. When designing a VR system, it is needed to handle performance, mobility and usability. Many VR applications need to handle diverse sensors and user inputs continuously in a streaming manner. In this paper we design a VR mobile platform and implement a low-cost mobile VR HMD running on the platform. The VR HMD supports 3D contents delivery in a mobile manner. It is used to detect the motion detection based on angle value of a VR player from accelerator and gyro sensor. The MPU-6050, 6-axis sensor, is used to get a sensory value and the sensory value is taken as an input to a VR rendering server on a Unity game engine that is generated 3D images.

For many years, human-computer interaction (HCI) practitioners have focused on usability in order to enhance the user experience, and companies have seen it as an area where they can gain advantages over their competitors. However, a focus on usability limits the potential of HCI research because it restricts the concept of user experience to just an implemented functionality of the information technology (IT). Therefore, it is necessary to expand the boundary of user experience research into a holistic dimension. We suggest that one of the most powerful ways to broadly understand user experience with an IT is to investigate the attributes of an IT and users' perceived values and to construct a user experience structure, a hierarchical structure between the attributes of an IT and users' perceived values. This study thus undertakes two research tasks: to develop a specific methodology, which is the visual probing, for constructing a user experience structure with the attributes of an IT and users' perceived values, and then to build a user experience structure practically by conducting a case study to a specific IT: mobile data service.

Despite the rapid increase in the use of mobile Internet, only a few studies examined digital divide issues in the mobile internet environment. Prior studies on digital divide mainly focused on the usage environments of consumers. The present study analyzes mobile digital divide by considering user environments and the cognitive values of users. Therefore, we estimated the cognitive value of users in mobile Internet environments through contingent valuation method (CVM). We also analyzed the digital divide factors that cause this value difference. We found that domestic users perceive mobile Internet value up to 51,723 Korean Won per month. We analyzed the value differences of digital divide factors, such as "accessibility," "competency," and "usability." Based on this analysis, we found that a difference of 31,878 Korean Won was generated due to accessibility. Competitiveness resulted in a difference of 7,736 Korean Won, whereas that of usability resulted in 6,463 Korean Won. Accessibility is the most important digital divide factor that maximizes the difference of cognitive value of users in a domestic mobile Internet environment.

Due to the lack of visualization services and organic combinations between public and private buildings data, the usability of the basic map has remained low. To address this issue, this paper reports on a solution that organically combines public and private data while providing visualization services to general users. For this purpose, factors that can affect building prices first were examined in order to define the related data attributes. To extract the relevant data attributes, this paper presents a method of acquiring public information data and real estate-related information, as provided by private real estate portal sites. The paper also proposes a pretreatment process required for intelligent machine learning. This report goes on to suggest an intelligent machine learning algorithm that predicts buildings' value pricing and future value by using big data regarding buildings' spatial information, as acquired from a database containing building value attributes. The algorithm's availability was tested by establishing a prototype targeting pilot areas, including Suwon, Anyang, and Gunpo in South Korea. Finally, a prototype visualization solution was developed in order to allow general users to effectively use buildings' value ranking and value pricing, as predicted by intelligent machine learning.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the dental website usability in Korea. The dental website included dental university hospital, network dental hospital and dental office. Methods: The study was carried out by three age groups including twenties, thirties, and forties. Each group consisted of ten customers and evaluated twelve websites of dental hospitals. Each was assigned to four hospitals and three tasks including easiness of online reservation, preventive information, and treatment information. They filled out the self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire included the easiness of on-line reservation, satisfaction on the quality and quantity of preventive informations, satisfaction on the quality and quantity of treatment informations, predictiveness on the sub-menu, usefulness of site map, information on the main page of web site, usefulness of decision on visit to dentistry, and revisit intention. Results: The easiness of on-line reservation was the highest in the private dental office, and university dental hospital and network dental hospitals followed in conducting task(1). The anticipated value and measurement on the usefulness of web site were the lowest in network dental hospitals and the time interval between two values was 57 seconds. This discrepancy showed the largest difference. The satisfaction on treatment information in task(3) was higher than that of the satisfaction on preventive information in task (2). The revisit intention was the highest in dental university hospitals. Conclusions: This study showed the comparison in usefulness of web site of university dental hospitals, network dental hospitals and private dental office. The web site focused on the treatment information rather than preventive information. This study suggested that the most important function of dental web site would be the preventive information that was mainly operated by the role of dental hygienists rather than treatment information in the future.
