The purpose of this study is to examine difference of information processing style on lesson comprehension scores and usability ratings in e-Learning containing visual information structure. To address this goal, 68 university students were participated in this research. They were asked information processing style test, lesson comprehension test, and usability ratings after completed e-Learning lesson. According to the result, there was not significant difference between visual and verbal information process style on lesson comprehension as learn outcomes. However, students who are visual information processing style were significantly higher ratings than students who are verbal information processing style on 4 of 8 usability scales; awareness of lesson structure, awareness of lesson length, ease of navigation, and ease of lesson learning. These result indicate that there will be needed the design of aptitude treatment interaction for e-Book according to information processing style.

The purpose of this study is to present a theoretical framework and practical methodology to extend the scope of Library and Information Science by incorporating the usability evaluation of e-book, which has considerably increased in proportion in the digital library. By sirveying e-book users and through statistical analysis. it was found that rebuilding a set of usabllity evaluation factors for e-books is necessary to activate e-books in the digital libraries. This study inclusively presents a conceptual model of e-book usability evaluation and suggests guidelines for usability principles.

This study is about e-Book program based on human-computer interaction(HCI) system for physically handicapped person. By acquiring background knowledge of HCI, we know that if we use vision-based interface we can replace current computer input devices by extracting any characteristic point and tracing it. We decided betweeneyes as a characteristic point by analyzing facial input image using webcam. But because of three-dimensional structure of glasses, the person who is wearing glasses wasn't suitable for tracing between-eyes. So we changed characteristic point to the bridge of the nose after detecting between-eyes. By using this technique, we could trace rotation of head in real-time regardless of glasses. To test this program's usefulness, we conducted an experiment to analyze the test result on actual application. Consequently, we got 96.5% rate of success for controlling e-Book under proper condition by analyzing the test result of 20 subjects.

This study aims to enhance the usability of eBook reader programs on personal computers through heuristic evaluation in order to learn users' perceptions and derive key elements for interface design. For this purpose, the traditional usability evaluation and heuristic evaluation method were studied. A total of 22 evaluators of the heuristic evaluation were taken by purposive sampling to test the interface of eBook reader on PCs. This study suggested ten heuristics that focus on improving and specializing the usability aspects of reading digital materials.

In this paper, we have developed an E-book reader for EBKS XML documents on the embedded Linux environment. This reader operated on a Linux target board parses the EBKS XML documents using the Qt SAX interface and displays the parsed pages through the QWS (Qt Windows System) which is a cross-platform windows toolkit. This reader can be easily and rapidly developed on Linux as well as MS windows and requires less memory than DOM interfaces because it parses with SAX interface.

This paper presents an edutainment robot for young children. The edutainment robot called 'Mon-e' has developed by the Central R&D Laboratory at KT. The main services of the Mon-E robot are autonomous moving service, object card and story book telling service and videophone service. The RFID technology was introduced for easy interface to young children. The face of Mon-E robot is mounted with an RFID reader. The RFID tag is pasted on story book and object card. If you approach a book or an object card to the face of Mon-E, the Mon-E robot recognizes the identified code and plays its service. In autonomous moving, if the Mon-E robot meets obstacles, it moves back and turns left or right or half rotation. In videophone service, if young children approach an RFID card to the Mon-E, the Mon-E can make a call to the specific number, which is contained in the RFID card. The developed Mon-E robot has tested in real world environment and is evaluated young children and their parents. In the result of evaluation, the feeling of satisfaction was high to main services of Mon-E robot.

This study examined the performances of eight current e-book producers and suppliers in three areas(technology development, contents and services) using 16 evaluation criteria. Each criterion was measured using 6 scales on eight e-book producers and suppliers. The study results showed that overall, Kyobobook was the best performer, followed by Bookcube in the 2nd, Ridibooks the 3rd and Interpark the 4th. Specifically, Bookcube was the best in the field of 'technology development', Kyobobook was the best in the field of 'contents' and Kyobobook and Ridibooks worked equally best in the field of 'services'. Based on the results, some recommendations have been suggested for developing better e-book producers, effective interface design, enhancement of readability, variety of contents, development of multimedia materials and aggressive advertisement.

The flourishing China mobile e-book App market has caused a series of problems, for which enhancing the user experience become an urgent matter. As a whole, user experience is related to the five planes such as the device, platform, medium, form and content. However, to understand the user needs is the logical starting point of the whole process. Contextual interview has been conducted in this study, while four types of tasks such as discovering and accessing a target e-book, setting and experiencing the reading interface, listening to the e-book and reviewing and sharing were asked to perform during the process, which has resulted in relevant problems and unpleasant factors in user experience. Based on the aforementioned contents, guidelines for enhancing the user experience of China mobile e-book App has been summarized as a result.

기존의 종이책은 다양한 스마트 모바일기기의 활발한 보급으로 인해 전용 단말기와 뷰어 앱(Veiwer App)을 통해 전자책(e-book)으로 서비스되고 있다. 최근에는 텍스트(Text) 중심의 전자책과 달리, 텍스트와 함께 동영상, 다양한 상호작용 요소를 중심으로 하는 앱북(App book)의 형태로 진화되고 있다. 아이패드(iPad)용 앱스토어(App Store)에서는 도서 관련 앱이 28%를 차지할 정도로 앱북 시장이 빠르게 성장함에도 불구하고, 여러 가지 전자책 전용 단말기, 뷰어 앱 UI(User Interface) 관련 연구들에 비해 앱북의 콘텐츠 및 UI에 대한 연구가 상대적으로 부족한 상황이다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 앱북 콘텐츠의 표시 방법에 따라 3개의 유형으로 분류하고, 대표 앱북을 선정하여, 콘텐츠의 객체 표시방법에 대해 분석하고, 상호작용 요소들을 분석하였다. 이를 통해, 객체 별 상호작용 요소를 고려한 전자잡지형 앱북의 콘텐츠 표시 방법 프레임워크를 설계하였다.

Touch interface is widely used in a smartphone instead of a keyboard or a keypad interface that has been adopted in a PC or a featurephone, respectively. Touch interface can recognize a variety of gestures that clearly represent the distinct features of each application's input. This paper analyzes users' gesture of each application captured by the touch interface of a smartphone. Specifically, we extract touch input traces from various application categories such as game, web browser, youtube, image and e-book viewer, video player, camera, and map applications, and then analyzed them. Through this analysis, we observed a certain unique characteristics of each application's touch input, and this can be utilized in various useful areas such as identification of an application user, prevention of running an application by an illegal user, or design of a new interface convenient to a specific user.
