  • Conventional networking and telecommunications infrastructure characterized by wires, fixed location, and inflexibility is giving way to mobile technologies. Numerous research reports point to the ultimate domination of wireless communication. With the increasing prevalence of advanced cell-phones, various mobile data services (hereafter MDS) are gaining popularity. Although cellular networks were originally introduced for voice communications, statistics indicate that data services are replacing the matured voice service as the growth engine for telecom service providers. For example, SK Telecom, the Korea's largest mobile service provider, reported that 25.6% of revenue and 28.5% of profit came from MDS in 2006 and the share is growing. Statistics also indicate that, in 2006, the average revenue per user (ARPU) for voice didn't change but MDS grew seven percents from the previous year, further highlighting its growth potential. MDS is defined "as an assortment of digital data services that can be accessed using a mobile device over a wide geographic area." A variety of MDS have been deployed, with a few reaching the status of killer applications. Many of them need to access the Internet through the cellular-phone infrastructure. In the past, when the cellular network didn't have acceptable bandwidth for data services, SMS (short messaging service) dominated MDS. Now, Internet-ready, next-generation cell-phones are driving rich digital data services into the fabric of everyday life, These include news on various topics, Internet search, mapping and location-based information, mobile banking and gaming, downloading (i.e., screen savers), multimedia streaming, and various communication services (i.e., email, short messaging, messenger, and chaffing). The huge economic stake MDS has on its stakeholders warrants focused research to understand associated dynamics behind its adoption. Lyytinen and Yoo(2002) pointed out the limitation of traditional adoption models in explaining the rapid diffusion of innovations such as P2P or mobile services. Also, despite the increasing popularity of MDS, unexpected drop in its usage is observed among some people. Intrigued by these observations, an exploratory study was conducted to examine decision factors of MDS usage. Data analysis revealed that the increase and decrease of MDS use was influenced by different forces. The findings of the exploratory study triggered our confirmatory research effort to validate the uni-directionality of studied factors in affecting MDS usage. This differs from extant studies of IS/IT adoption that are largely grounded on the assumption of bi-directionality of explanatory variables in determining the level of dependent variables (i.e., user satisfaction, service usage). The research goal is, therefore, to examine if increase and decrease in the usage of MDS are explained by two separate groups of variables pertaining to information quality and system quality. For this, we investigate following research questions: (1) Does the information quality of MDS increase service usage?; (2) Does the system quality of MDS decrease service usage?; and (3) Does user motivation for subscribing MDS moderate the effect information and system quality have on service usage? The research questions and subsequent analysis are grounded on the two factor theory pioneered by Hertzberg et al(1959). To answer the research questions, in the first, an exploratory study based on 378 survey responses was conducted to learn about important decision factors of MDS usage. It revealed discrepancy between the influencing forces of usage increase and those of usage decrease. Based on the findings from the exploratory study and the two-factor theory, we postulated information quality as the motivator and system quality as the de-motivator (or hygiene) of MDS. Then, a confirmative study was undertaken on their respective role in encouraging and discouraging the usage of mobile data service.

  • 결제서비스에 대한 기존의 연구는 결제서비스의 채택요인 또는 지속적인 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인 등 행동이론을 중심으로 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 요인들이 미치는 영향에 대한 결과는 결제서비스의 종류에 따라 또는 연구 지역에 따라 상이하게 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 결제 서비스의 종류나 문화등의 변수에 관계없이 새로운 결제 서비스가 성공할 수 있는 일반적인 요인이 무엇인지에 대한 의문에서 시작하게 되었다. 기존 연구에서 중요한 영향을 미친다고 제시한 채택요인들은 실제 결제사례의 결과에 비추어 보면 기존 연구에서 주장한 바와 일치하지 않는 경우를 볼 수 있다. 이러한 이론과 현실사이의 괴리를 발견하고 새로운 결제서비스가 성공하기 위한 근본적이고 결정적인 요인이 무엇인지에 대해 제시하고 사례연구를 통해 가설을 입증하고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 새로운 결제서비스가 성공하기 위해서는 기존 결제서비스의 비고객에게 이들이 결제할 수 있는 수단을 제공함으로써 새로운 결제 시장을 창출해야 함을 주장한다. 이를 위해 성공한 결제사례인 신용카드, 휴대폰 소액결제, PayPal, Square을 채택하였으며, 기존 결제서비스의 비고객을 3개의 계층으로 분류하여 분석하였다. 그리고 새로운 결제서비스가 어떠한 계층을 타겟으로 하였으며 이들에게 어떠한 결제수단을 제공하여 새로운 시장을 창출하였는지 제시한다. 사례 분석 결과, 성공 사례 모두 본 연구의 가설을 지지하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 새로운 결제서비스는 결국 기존의 결제수단으로 거래를 할 수 없었던 이들이 결제를 할 수 있도록 함으로써 성공할 수 있다는 가설을 입증하였다. 모바일 결제서비스가 아직 대중화되지 못한 원인을 본 가설에 비추어 분석해 보면 보면, 기존의 결제 인프라를 이용할 수 있는 바코드, QR코드 기반의 모바일 결제 서비스뿐만 아니라 NFC, BLE, 음파 등의 새로운 기술이 적용된 모바일 결제 서비스가 출시되는 등 새로운 시도가 계속되고 있다. 또한 모바일 월렛은 사용자들이 소지하고 있는 카드정보를 스마트폰에 저장하여 지갑 없이도 결제가 가능하며, 쿠폰 제공, 적립카드 관리, 신분증을 저장하는 등의 다양한 부가적인 기능을 제공하고 있어 성공할 것이라는 전망이 대두되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 서비스들은 본 연구 관점에서 보자면 기존 결제서비스의 비고객이(기존 결제수단을 이용할 수 없었던 사용자) 거래할 수 있는 새로운 결제 수단을 제공해 주지 못하고 있기 때문에 결국 초기사용자에게만 채택될 뿐 대중화되는데 한계가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 반면, 새로운 모바일 결제서비스의 성공사례 중 하나인 PaybyPhone은 기존 코인주차 결제서비스의 비고객인 현금 미소지 고객에게 스마트폰을 이용한 새로운 결제수단을 제공함으로써 새로운 주차 결제 시장을 창출하였으며 현재 미국뿐만 아니라 유럽시장까지 진출하는 등 급성장하고 있다. 결론적으로, 많은 이해관계자들이 모바일 결제시장을 선점하기 위해 다양한 형태의 모바일 결제 서비스를 출시하고 있지만 캐즘을 뛰어넘어 주류 시장에 성공적으로 정착할 수 있느냐는 결국 기존 결제서비스의 비고객군에게 그들이 필요로 하는 새로운 결제수단을 제공하는지의 여부에 달려있다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 모바일 결제 서비스의 기획자나 매니저들은 서비스 기획 시 기존 결제서비스의 비고객군은 누구인가? 그들은 어떠한 결제수단을 원하는가?를 먼저 고려해야 한다. 본 연구는 새로운 결제서비스가 성공하는데 미치는 요인에 대한 가설을 검증하기 위해 4개의 성공사례를 선택하였으며 각 사례에 동일한 가설을 검증하는 '반복연구논리'를 적용하였다. 본 가설을 더욱 공고히 하기 위해 사례연구방법론에서 제시하고 있는 경쟁가설을 포함한 후속 사례연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.

  • The author believes that the main task of study in international trade usage and practice is the management of transactional risks involved in international sale of goods. They are foreign exchange risks, transportation risks, credit risk, risk of miscommunication, etc. In most cases, these risks are more serious and enormous than those involved in domestic sales. Historically, the merchant adventurers organized the voyage abroad, secured trade finance, and went around the ocean with their own or consigned cargo until around the $mid-19^{th}$ century. They did business faceto-face at the trade fair or the open port where they maintained the local offices, so-called "Trading House"(商館). Thererfore, the transactional risks might have been one-sided either with the seller or the buyer. The bottomry seemed a typical arrangement for risk sharing among the interested parties to the adventure. In this way, such organizational arrangements coped with or bore the transactional risks. With the advent of ocean liner services and wireless communication across the national border in the $19^{th}$ century, the business of merchant adventurers developed toward the clear division of labor; sales by mercantile agents, and ocean transportation by the steam ship companies. The international banking helped the process to be accelerated. Then, bills of lading backed up by the statute made it possible to conduct documentary sales with a foreign partner in different country. Thus, FOB terms including ocean freight and CIF terms emerged gradually as standard trade terms in which transactional risks were allocated through negotiation between the seller and the buyer located in different countries. Both of them did not have to go abroad with their cargo. Instead, documentation in compliance with the terms of the contract(plus an L/C in some cases) must by 'strictly' fulfilled. In other words, the set of contractual documents must be tendered in advance of the arrival of the goods at port of discharge. Trust or reliance is placed on such contractual paper documents. However, the container transport services introduced as international intermodal transport since the late 1960s frequently caused the earlier arrival of the goods at the destination before the presentation of the set of paper documents, which may take 5 to 10% of the amount of transaction. In addition, the size of the container vessel required the speedy transport documentation before sailing from the port of loading. In these circumstances, computerized processing of transport related documents became essential for inexpensive transaction cost and uninterrupted distribution of the goods. Such computerization does not stop at the phase of transportation but extends to cover the whole process of international trade, transforming the documentary sales into less-paper trade and further into paperless trade, i.e., EDI or E-Commerce. Now we face the other side of the coin, which is data security and paperless transfer of legal rights and obligations. Unfortunately, these issues are not effectively covered by a set of contracts only. Obviously, EDI or E-Commerce is based on the common business process and harmonized system of various data codes as well as the standard message formats. This essential feature of E-Commerce needs effective coordination of different divisions of business and tight control over credit arrangements in addition to the standard contract of sales. In a few word, information does not alway invite "trust". Credit flows from people, or close organizational tie-ups. It is our common understanding that, without well-orchestrated organizational arrangements made by leading companies, E-Commerce does not work well for paperless trade. With such arrangements well in place, participating E-business members do not need to seriously care for credit risk. Finally, it is also clear that E-International Commerce must be linked up with a set of government EDIs such as NACCS, Port EDI, JETRAS, etc, in Japan. Therefore, there is still a long way before us to go for E-Commerce in practice, not on the top of information manager's desk.

  • 우리나라 3대 수면 질환으로는 코골이, 수면무호흡증, 불면증이 있다. 수면 부족은 만병의 근원이며 수면 부족으로 인한 질병은 심혈관계 질환, 인지장애, 비만, 당뇨, 대장염, 전립선암에 이르기까지 다양하게 나타난다. 수면 관리 중요성을 인식한 정부도 2018년 7월부터 수면다원검사를 국민건강보험 혜택을 적용해서 작은 부담으로 검사를 받아볼 수 있도록 하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 불면증 환자는 시간적·공간적·경제적 부담감을 해소하고 일상생활 속에서 수면의 질을 관리할 필요가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 병원이 아닌 일상생활 속에서 수면관리에 활용할 수 있는 안대형 생체신호 측정기기를 개발하였다. 측정기기에서는 6개 생체신호(안구동작, 뒤척임, 체온, 산소포화도, 심박수, 오디오)를 측정할 수 있다. 사용되는 센서로는 안구동작, 뒤척임은 자이로스코프센서(MPU9250, InvenSense, 미국)가 사용되었다. 센서값 입력 범위는 258~460°/sec 단위로 조정되며, 입력 범위값 내에서 작동상태를 확인하였다. 체온, 산소포화도, 심박수는 센서(MAX30102, Analog Devices, 미국)를 사용하였다. 체온은 30~45℃ 작동상태를 확인했으며, 산소포화도 사용범위는 미사용상태는 0%이고 사용상태는 20~90%의 작동상태를 확인하였다. 심박수의 범위는 40~180 bpm에서 작동상태를 확인하였다. 오디오 신호는 센서(AMM2742-T-R, PUIaudio, 미국)를 통해서 생체신호를 측정하며 감도는 -42±1 dB이며 주파수 범위는 20~20 kHz에서의 작동상태를 확인하였다. 시스템 구성은 생체신호 측정기기와 데이터수집 장치로 PC 및 모바일 애플리케이션으로 구성되었다. 측정된 데이터는 모바일과 PC로 수집되며 수집된 데이터는 수면의 단계를 판단하고 수면 유도와 수면장애에 대한 사전 선별기능을 진행할 수 있는 기초자료로 사용될 수 있다. 앞으로 간편하게 가정에서 불면증 환자들에게 수면의 질을 측정할 수 있게 되어 불면증 환자들의 치료에 도움이 될 것으로 예상한다.

  • Recently, as the information communication technology develops, the discussion regarding the ubiquitous environment is occurring in diverse perspectives. Ubiquitous environment is an environment that could transfer data through networks regardless of the physical space, virtual space, time or location. In order to realize the ubiquitous environment, the Pervasive Sensing technology that enables the recognition of users' data without the border between physical and virtual space is required. In addition, the latest and diversified technologies such as Context-Awareness technology are necessary to construct the context around the user by sharing the data accessed through the Pervasive Sensing technology and linkage technology that is to prevent information loss through the wired, wireless networking and database. Especially, Pervasive Sensing technology is taken as an essential technology that enables user oriented services by recognizing the needs of the users even before the users inquire. There are lots of characteristics of ubiquitous environment through the technologies mentioned above such as ubiquity, abundance of data, mutuality, high information density, individualization and customization. Among them, information density directs the accessible amount and quality of the information and it is stored in bulk with ensured quality through Pervasive Sensing technology. Using this, in the companies, the personalized contents(or information) providing became possible for a target customer. Most of all, there are an increasing number of researches with respect to recommender systems that provide what customers need even when the customers do not explicitly ask something for their needs. Recommender systems are well renowned for its affirmative effect that enlarges the selling opportunities and reduces the searching cost of customers since it finds and provides information according to the customers' traits and preference in advance, in a commerce environment. Recommender systems have proved its usability through several methodologies and experiments conducted upon many different fields from the mid-1990s. Most of the researches related with the recommender systems until now take the products or information of internet or mobile context as its object, but there is not enough research concerned with recommending adequate store to customers in a ubiquitous environment. It is possible to track customers' behaviors in a ubiquitous environment, the same way it is implemented in an online market space even when customers are purchasing in an offline marketplace. Unlike existing internet space, in ubiquitous environment, the interest toward the stores is increasing that provides information according to the traffic line of the customers. In other words, the same product can be purchased in several different stores and the preferred store can be different from the customers by personal preference such as traffic line between stores, location, atmosphere, quality, and price. Krulwich(1997) has developed Lifestyle Finder which recommends a product and a store by using the demographical information and purchasing information generated in the internet commerce. Also, Fano(1998) has created a Shopper's Eye which is an information proving system. The information regarding the closest store from the customers' present location is shown when the customer has sent a to-buy list, Sadeh(2003) developed MyCampus that recommends appropriate information and a store in accordance with the schedule saved in a customers' mobile. Moreover, Keegan and O'Hare(2004) came up with EasiShop that provides the suitable tore information including price, after service, and accessibility after analyzing the to-buy list and the current location of customers. However, Krulwich(1997) does not indicate the characteristics of physical space based on the online commerce context and Keegan and O'Hare(2004) only provides information about store related to a product, while Fano(1998) does not fully consider the relationship between the preference toward the stores and the store itself. The most recent research by Sedah(2003), experimented on campus by suggesting recommender systems that reflect situation and preference information besides the characteristics of the physical space. Yet, there is a potential problem since the researches are based on location and preference information of customers which is connected to the invasion of privacy. The primary beginning point of controversy is an invasion of privacy and individual information in a ubiquitous environment according to researches conducted by Al-Muhtadi(2002), Beresford and Stajano(2003), and Ren(2006). Additionally, individuals want to be left anonymous to protect their own personal information, mentioned in Srivastava(2000). Therefore, in this paper, we suggest a methodology to recommend stores in U-market on the basis of ubiquitous environment not using personal information in order to protect individual information and privacy. The main idea behind our suggested methodology is based on Feature Matrices model (FM model, Shahabi and Banaei-Kashani, 2003) that uses clusters of customers' similar transaction data, which is similar to the Collaborative Filtering. However unlike Collaborative Filtering, this methodology overcomes the problems of personal information and privacy since it is not aware of the customer, exactly who they are, The methodology is compared with single trait model(vector model) such as visitor logs, while looking at the actual improvements of the recommendation when the context information is used. It is not easy to find real U-market data, so we experimented with factual data from a real department store with context information. The recommendation procedure of U-market proposed in this paper is divided into four major phases. First phase is collecting and preprocessing data for analysis of shopping patterns of customers. The traits of shopping patterns are expressed as feature matrices of N dimension. On second phase, the similar shopping patterns are grouped into clusters and the representative pattern of each cluster is derived. The distance between shopping patterns is calculated by Projected Pure Euclidean Distance (Shahabi and Banaei-Kashani, 2003). Third phase finds a representative pattern that is similar to a target customer, and at the same time, the shopping information of the customer is traced and saved dynamically. Fourth, the next store is recommended based on the physical distance between stores of representative patterns and the present location of target customer. In this research, we have evaluated the accuracy of recommendation method based on a factual data derived from a department store. There are technological difficulties of tracking on a real-time basis so we extracted purchasing related information and we added on context information on each transaction. As a result, recommendation based on FM model that applies purchasing and context information is more stable and accurate compared to that of vector model. Additionally, we could find more precise recommendation result as more shopping information is accumulated. Realistically, because of the limitation of ubiquitous environment realization, we were not able to reflect on all different kinds of context but more explicit analysis is expected to be attainable in the future after practical system is embodied.
