China, Korea and Japan are all neighbors, but there are quite a few differences in monster culture. In this article, through studying of Korea games highest export countries--China and Japan, as well as analysis on their historical origin of development of "Monster culture", so as to explore the similarities and differences between development of monster culture. In addition, combining these differences and similarities, through the study of "monster culture" related game works, it aims to explore the impact of these countries' monster culture on modern life culture and the development characteristics of all kinds of monsters under the background of modern culture. Besides, based on above analysis, developed a monster character design that can form a bond of sympathy in three countries by comparing and combining the most popular parts of the monster characters in this three countries. The final aim is to create a game monster character that both in rich ancient culture charm and loved by all people, so as to being taken as an example to illustrate the significance and value of promoting the development of monster culture. The result of this research will help to design monster characters in game production in the future.

The aim of this study was to compare and analyse the national players between the winning games and the losing ones by classifying the GPS data measured in the competition. 27 players of Korean national team on field hockey had analysed to collect plenty of data by using GPS system in real time on 16 A-matches for this paper. The result was followed: First, it has revealed that the winning games showed that it had played a lot in the rest of the zone except for zone 1 and zone 5 from zone 1 to zone 6. Second, is has also shown that it had a significant differences into the distance between the winning games and the losing ones. Third, there were no significant differences between Low-speed zone (zone 1 to Zone 3) and High-speed zone (zone 4 to zone 6) into the distance but were a significant differences on the number of high-accelerations in a section of accelerations. Last, in the position-specific, it has shown a significant differences between a distance by the section and the acceleration frequency and the results showed that the difference between the low accelerations and high ones influenced positively related to the performance.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between soccer games of Korea vs. Japan and emotions of anti-Japan and anti-Korea, empirically. For that, this study selected 2,400 comments from Naver and 5CH where people could write their SNS comments on EAFF E-1 football championship 2017. The study results got by frequency analysis and one-way ANOVA were as follows. First, Korean showed amity with own team and hostility to the opponents, and stronger hostility toward Japan. Japanese showed hostility to own team, and it was especially strong when vs. Korea. Second, Korean showed stronger hostility toward Japan than others. Japanese showed stronger hostility to own team when vs Korea. From those results, this study could conclude that soccer games of Korea vs. Japan could be a field to express those emotions rather than effect on the emotions of anti-Korea and anti-Japan. By the empirical method of this study on the emotions of anti-Japan and anti-Korea unlike advance studies, this could receive favorable evaluation.

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing the user's continuous usage intention of computer games. A research model was developed which shows that the independent variables of value, expectation confirmation, perceived enjoyment affect user satisfaction and continuous usage intention. To test the six hypotheses, survey data were collected from 104 respondents, and hypotheses tests as well as a confirmatory factor analysis were conducted using a partial least square analysis tool. The statistical analysis result showed that expectation confirmation had a significant positive effect on satisfaction, and satisfaction also had a strong positive effect on the game user's continuous usage intention. Perceived enjoyment showed a highly strong positive effect on satisfaction. In addition, satisfaction was found to have full mediation effects in the relationship between expectation confirmation and continuous usage intention, and perceived enjoyment and continuous usage intention respectively. This result provides an important implication that continuous usage intention occurs through user satisfaction, and also indicates the contribution of this study for the game industry. Another contribution of this study is to introduce critical independent variables from the marketing and information technology domains in order to explain continuous usage intention of computer games.

The purpose of this study is to analyze representation of characters of AOS online-game in order to find out the meanings of ontological game characters. This study selects characters of on-line game to analyze representations of game characters by Pierre L$\acute{e}$vy's ontological theory. The characters which represented in on-line games reproduced by costume play in off-line world reflect human desire and construct human existence. Online game character is an existing substance, which could expand human experiences by crossing virtual game world and reality in digital era.

As a representative of the convergence of broadcasting and communication, the data service provide viewers new services such as games, weather services, and stock trading services on TV. The data service, however, has failed to gain the popularity with the viewers due to the short of killer services and the dominating power of TV programs. The paper introduces an MHP-based method for semantically integrate a data service to a TV program by allowing the data service to utilize the content of the TV program, which changes as time goes on.

Due to the development of the digital technology, the digital broadcasting is changing to a multi-entertainment platform that can operate data (broadcasting) services (such as games, weather information, and stock trading services) as well as traditional broadcasting contents. Most of the data services, however, failed to get satisfactory results because of the inconvenience in operating the services using a TV remote controller and the failure of gaining the viewer's interests in the competition with the broadcasting contents. The paper introduces a survey on the viewer's modality of using a data service and, based on the survey result, proposes a design guideline that makes a data service minimally interrupt a viewer watching a broadcasting content.

This study establishes the theory of minimizing the Speculation occurring and creates the promotion of the domestic Arcade Game. The study analyzed the present Game Rating of speculation standard in this field and compared the domestic instances with international ones. The study therefore proposes that the domestic game industry should adopt the future model of electromagnetic-card that will lead to the basis of the industry that is not under the system at present. The new system will also verify the useful alternative that will enhance the domestic Arcade Game.

In recent years, studies in BCI game with popular BCI devices are progressing actively by the development of BCI(Brain Computer Interface) techniques. Most of BCI games have developed as experimental contents for researching. On the game control paradigm, it is insufficient to conduct a study about induced methods of proper barinwave to control the BCI game. In this study, we suggest a rhythm game using BCI which has a new play element that visualizes the rhythm of music and represents the notes of music in sound and a generation method of visual-auditory feedback through the synchronization of the tempo of music with brainwave. Experimental Results make certain that our suggestion is possible for the improvement of game score through the induction of brainwave that is necessary to control the game.

Recently, as multi-platform game environments become common, many games of convergence genre have been produced, and the boundaries of genre division by existing platforms have become blurred. The game genre is convergence content consisting of user-centered 'narrative and play'. In this paper, we propose a game genre classification according to the user 's behavior type based on the essential recognition that the subject of the game is the user. The user's actions are done in different genres and goals and rules, and the interaction is an important act for immersion. Therefore, the user's behavioral classification and perception by the game genre are important and expected to help redefine the game structure.
