  • In Interactive Storytelling, storyline is developed according to the user's interaction. Diffrerent from linear, fixed storytelling, users may select an event or make decisions which affect on the story plotting. Therefore user's feeling of immersion and interest may be greatly enhanced. In this paper, we used markers and multi-touch pad for user's interaction for interactive storytelling. Users could present his/her level of interest and provide feedback through markers and multi-touch pad, through which storyline was differently developed.

  • Reddit is a large user generated content (USG) website in which users form common interest groups and submit links to external content or text posts of user-created content. The web site operates on a voting system whereby registered users can assign positive or negative ratings to both submitted content and comments made to submitted content. While Reddit is a pseudonymous site, with users creating usernames but providing no biographical data, an informal survey posted to a large shared interest community yielded 734 responses including age and gender of users. This provided a large amount of contextual biographical data with which to analyse user profiles at the first level of Computer Mediated Discourse Analysis (CMDA), articulated by Susan Herring. The results indicate that older Reddit users both formulate more complex writing and enjoy more success when rated by other users. Gender data was incomplete and as such only tentative results could be proposed in that regard.

  • WWW(World wide Web) is a place where many laymen receive and send the information at the worldwide. A visualization of WWW is very important as one of functions helping to retrieve and browse the information. However, as the information volume displayed at one time is limited by a screen size, it is useful to limit the volume of information capable for users to browse. In this report, we propose the page-index, which extract its information according to degree of user’s interest. This index is a numbers, which relate the user’s interest with verbal and structural characteristics of homepages. The homage-index constructed with sequence of this index are useful to help a user’s browsing. We constructed the estimating system about an article of commerce and really tried to estimate. From this trial, we verified the usefulness of the page-index, homepage-index.

  • In this paper, in order to encourage the user's exercise, we presented an exercise goal that considers the user's weight and exercise state, and dealt with a study on an app that gives a goal using GPS information. Unlike the vague numbers and times suggested in the existing app, it is presented specifically with the surrounding buildings or structures using GPS information. In addition, to use competitive psychology to exercise encouragement, it shows the movement information of people connected to the app and allows users to use the competitive psychology to get the effect of exercising many people. The app creates coordinates of major buildings and sets markings using the Naver Map SDK location information to present specific targets. It is easy for users to get bored if they give a goal every time, and the boredom that the user feels decreases the interest in the exercise. In order to not to lose interest in athletic interest. the app switches to game mode and give a light goal that doesn't matter user's weight or exercise status, and rewards user for achieving the suggested goals. Game mode is added to app that connects a person's will to practice. It adds fun elements to create interest, and uses competitiveness to help you live a healthy life with a steady workout. Technically, to improve the accuracy of smart-phone map display using GPS and the tilt processing was to be able to display the exact location.

  • This paper proposes a technique of user oriented document ranking using user refile to provide more satisfied results which reflect preference of specific users. User profile is constructed to represent his or her preference. User pfofile consists of 'term array' and 'preference vector' according to the interest field of one. And the User profile for a particular person is updated by 'user access', 'latent relaeon', 'User Profile' proposed in this paper. The latent structures of documents in same domain are analysed by singular value decomposition(SVD). Then, the rank of documents is determined by comparison of user profile with analyzed document on the basis of relevance.

  • To interact with a virtual object in immersive virtual environment, the target object should be selected quickly and accurately. Conventional 3D ray casting method using a direction of user's hand or head allows the user to select an object quickly. However, accuracy problem occurs when selecting an object using conventional methods among occlusion of objects. In this paper, we propose a region of interest based selection method that enables to select an object among occlusion of objects using a combination of gaze tracking and hand gesture recognition. When a user looks at a group of occlusion of objects, the proposed method recognizes user's gaze input, and then region of interest is set by gaze input. If the user wants to select an object among them, the user gives an activation hand gesture. Then, the proposed system relocates and visualizes all objects on a virtual active window. The user can select an object by a selecting hand gesture. Our experiment verified that the user can select an object correctly and accurately.

  • As electronic commerce systems have been widely used, the necessity of adaptive e-commerce agent systems has been increased. These kinds of adaptive e-commerce agents can monitor customer's behaviors and cluster thou in similar categories, and include user's preference from each category. In order to implement our adaptive e-commerce agent system, in this paper, we propose an adaptive e-commerce agent systems consider customer's information of interest and goodwill ratio about preference goods. Proposed system build user's profile more accurately to get adaptability for user's behavior of buying and provide useful product information without inefficient searching based on such user's profile. The proposed system composed with three parts , Monitor Agent which grasps user's intension using monitoring, similarity reference Agent which refers to similar group of behavior pattern after teamed behavior pattern of user, Interest Analyzing Agent which personalized behavior DB as a change of user's behavior.

  • With the development of location-aware technologies and the activation of smart phones, location based social networks(LBSN) have been activated to allow people to easily share their location. In particular, studies on recommending the location of user interests by using the user check-in function in LBSN have been actively conducted. In this paper, we propose a location recommendation scheme considering time and user activities in LBSN. The proposed scheme considers user preference changes over time, local experts, and user interest in rare places. In other words, it uses the check-in history over time and distinguishes the user activity area to identify local experts. It also considers a rare place to give a weight to the user preferred place. It is shown through various performance evaluations that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

  • In recent times, many people have problems of nutritional imbalance; lack or surplus intake of a specific nutrient despite the variety of available foods. Accordingly, the interest in health and diet issues has increased leading to the emergence of various mobile applications. However, most mobile applications only record the user's diet history and show simple statistics and usually provide only general information for healthy diet. It is necessary for users interested in healthy eating to be provided recommendation services reflecting their food interest and providing customized information. Hence, we propose a menu recommendation method which includes calculating the recommended calorie amount based on the user's physical and activity profile to assign to each food group a substitution unit. In addition, our method also analyzes the user's food preferences using food intake history. Thus it satisfies recommended intake unit for each food group by exchanging the user's preferred foods. Also, the excellence of our proposed algorithm is demonstrated through the calculation of precision, recall, health index and the harmonic average of the 3 aforementioned measures. We compare it to another method which considers user's interest and recommended substitution unit. The proposed method provides menu recommendation reflecting interest and personalized health status by which user can improve and maintain a healthy dietary habit.

  • Content-based image retrieval(CBIR) is the retrieval technique which uses the contents of images. However, in contrast to text data, multimedia data are ambiguous and there is a big difference between system's low-level representation and human's high-level concept. So it doesn't always mean that near points in the vector space are similar to user. We call this the semantic-gap problem. Due to this problem, performance of image retrieval is not good. To solve this problem, the relevance feedback(RF) which uses user's feedback information is used. But existing RF doesn't consider user's region-of-interest(ROI), and therefore, irrelevant regions are used in computing new query points. Because the system doesn't know user's ROI, RF is proceeded in the image-level. We propose a new ROI RF method which guides a user to select ROI from relevant images for the retrieval of complex satellite image, and this improves the accuracy of the image retrieval by computing more accurate query points in this paper. Also we propose a pruning technique which improves the accuracy of the image retrieval by using images not selected by the user in this paper. Experiments show the efficiency of the proposed ROI RF and the pruning technique.
