Mobile Healthcare is a new type of health care services for managing health and life irrespective of time and space by uniting IT and BT. For this service bio-signal measurement using WBAN, and data analysis and monitoring technologies based on mobile devices are essential. Generally, however, mobile application has low compatibility because of the features of mobile platform, we have to redevelop it to support the corresponding platform. In this paper we introduce a Mobile Healthcare System which can function as gateway and monitoring based on hybrid app to create ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system compatible with various mobile devices by overcoming the difference of platforms. The proposed system consists of sensor composition part, monitoring composition part, and server composition part.

MIT App Inventor 2, much like the other block-based programming languages such as Scratch and Alice, is a useful tool that can be utilized to improve the computational thinking skills for students. The coding and the execution of program are done mainly on the computer in Scratch programming, but in App Inventor 2 programming, the students can execute the program and get immediate feedback on the smart-phone in the middle of the programming. Therefore, we can expect better enhanced learning effect. In this study, it has been claimed that the learning of App Inventor2 can strengthen the computational thinking skills of our students by extracting four core concepts of the computational thinking and then showing how these concepts are applied through the learning of App Inventor 2.

As of June 2014, the rate of mobile internet users aged 6 and over is estimated at 98.3% (up by 2.8%p from the previous year). The vast majority of the teens (99.7%), the 20s (99.8%), the 30s (99.8%), and the 40s (98.1%) answer they use the smart phone. The existing notice methods have utilized noticeboard in the apartment. It is difficult to support real-time notice. The App has a merit to be accessed in anywhere, so that it is quite suitable for services requiring real-time support. This paper describes a development of apartmenrt notice and decision-making service using smart phone. We study previous researches about apartmenrt notice Apps. Then, we described the notice flow diagram and decision-making flow diagram. Apt admin sends the important notice message to residents using apt notice app in real-time. Apt admin writes the decision item in the admin web site. It pushes decision item to residents using apt notice app in real-time. The residents vote and send it to Apt admin. Apt admin counts the votes and send the collect the vote result to to residents.

Recently, as stress has become a major threat to people's health, there is a growing interest in wearable stress management services for stress relief. In this paper, we developed a wearable device(Care-on) capable of extracting changeable human voice information at each site and a Healthcare App(S-Manager) that enables stress management in real time using the wearable device. It collects and analyzes variable real-time voice information for each part of the person's body. And It also provides the ability to monitor stress conditions in a mobile environment and provide feedback on the analysis results in step by step in the mobile environment. We tested the developed wearable devices and app in a mobile environment and analyzed the results to confirm their usefulness.

Recently, in Korea, private education is being dramatically developed, and the number of small- and medium-sized academies is increasing exponentially. Therefore, academies are building their own management system to realize efficient management appropriate for their situations. Also, the academy management system is more needed in mobile environment nowadays on account of severe competition among academies and necessity for differentiated instruction and systematic and efficient management. In this study, a mobile academy management prototype app has been developed in order to reduce small-and medium-sized academies' temporal and economic costs by supporting their students' attendance management and communication among parents, students, academies, and instructors in mobile environment.

This study focuses on finding ways to stimulate the growth of agricultural sectors in m-businesses, by analyzing and comparing the factors that influence the purchasing behavior of consumers in the open market, social commerce, and integrated shopping malls. Consumers at various mobile shopping malls answered a survey. Among the nine factors considered, one important factor was the frequency of purchasing agrifoods. Regression analysis produced three results. First, in the open market, in addition to various other advantages, the brand image, reasonable pricing, simple payment system, and convenience of using an app were important factors that influenced the purchasing behavior of the individual consumer. Second, in social commerce, the major factors influencing purchase were the reasonable pricing, quick delivery service, and convenience of using an app. Third, in integrated shopping malls, the brand image, guaranteed after-sale service, the variety of products, quick delivery service, and convenience of using an app were the significant factors.

In this paper, in order to improve the execution performance and serviceability of cross-platform applications frameworks based on the existing web applications, we design and implement a new hybrid application framework named as WApplE.js, which enables direct control of native UI(User Interface) of mobile operating systems and various resources via JavaScript. We first present the design results for the overall software structure and the configuration of every layer of WApplE.js, and then analyze the processes for calling and handling APIs in the implemented hybrid application framework. In addition, the results of comparison of features to the existing frameworks are presented.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to verify mobile game users' perceived utilities about real (price) and virtual (Ruby) currencies, which are the major factors of in-app purchase (IAP) widely used as a business model in a mobile game industry. Design/methodology/approach By using sales volume and sales frequency data for products sold in an 'S' mobile game from the 'D' mobile game company, we conducted a conjoint analysis according to the procedure recommended by Bicheno (2009). Findings The results of this study indicate that (1) mobile game users have greater utility for a virtual currency (Ruby) than for a real currency (price), (2) mobile game users' utility for virtual (Ruby) and real (price) currencies varies depending on sales volume and sales frequency, as well as (3) mobile markets (e.g., Google Play Store vs. Apple App Store), and (4) mobile game users have greater utility for a virtual currency (Ruby) which can be used readily than later.

The digital app-book is an advanced form of the electronic book (e-book), which attracts a lot of interests by the help of video, sound, sensors and a variety of interactions. As mobile devices have evolved, the demand of digital app-books is also rising substantially. However, the distribution of digital app-book contents is hard to meet the demand because the digital app-book requires a lot of programming cost for the interaction. To resolve this problem, Was verified and implementation as a library function of the interaction between device and user. The proposed library consists of three parts (user action recognition, device action, and content action) and provides various user-device interaction functions by combining methods of each part, which can support source code reusability, easy understanding and availability, and wide expandibility. The library was used in the development of natural science education app-book contents. As a result, it could reduce a lot of code lines and facilitate more rapid app-book development.
