Looking at the existing game-related research, innumerable researches such as game acceptance, user satisfaction, continuance intention, wold-of-mouse intention have been carried out. However, there was no cases that applying the concept of service recovery in game researches. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact on the characteristic of the mobile social network game that based on domestic mobile social network game platform which focusing on KakaoTalk games on the service recovery. In addition, the study analyzed the characteristic factors of mobile social network game on the basis of Organizational Equity Theory and Innovation Diffusion Theory to identified the causal relationship between those factors and service recovery. As a result, except the independent variable-compatibility, all of the characteristics factors of mobile social network game showed direct or indirect effects on service recovery. The results of this study are expected as a reference for presenting a new business model, reducing risk factors and enriching the related research of the gaming industry.

Regular activity program is needed for managing chronic disease and obesity and preventing falls as a nursing intervention. It seems that serious game will be very important for older people to keep them active with fun to improve their health. This study was conducted to explore the correlations between health problems and computer game needs in the elderly. This was a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was developed and administered to a convenience sample of adults who are older than 55 years, recruited from several places through trained research assistants and research center that has online pools in Korea. 778 subjects (mean age: $61.4\;{\pm}\;5.6$) were participated in this study. The majority of subjects was male (68.6%). We found that there was higher needs for exercise or serious game in the group of ma1e(55.4%), below undergraduate(66.2%), under two family members(32.5%), over 350,000 won of pocket money/month (40.1%), mild depressive symptom (51.7%), and online responser(68%). Especially, they wanted to overcome physical limitations through games. Higher education, more experiences and skills of using computer/internet was statistically and positively significant to the needs for exercise or serious game. In conclusion, there exists a potential market within this demographic group for the use of serious games. Thus, we need to develop senior games in Korean to improve quality of life and health promotion.

Embedded System includes touch, GPS, motion, and acceleration sensor, and can communicate with neighbor devices using wireless communication. Because Arduino with embedded system provides good environment for development and application, developers, engineers, designers, as well as artists, students have a great interest. They utilize Arduino in the robot, home appliances, fashion, culture and so on. In this paper, we design and implement a game using Arduino with embedded system which recognizes the human movement by moving away from one-dimensional game of the existing touch method. Implemented embedded system game measures gyro-sensor to recognize human movement and detects the attack success of the opponent by using touch sensor. Moreover, health of the game player is updated in the real time through the android phone-based database. In this paper, implemented embedded system-based game provides GUI screen of android phone. It is possible to select watching mode and competition mode. Also, it has low energy consumption and easy to expand because it send and receive data packet through recent Bluetooth communication.

With the development of information and communication technology, various methods have been tried to provide learners with a fun educational environment through fun and interest. It is a good example to utilize technologies such as games and robots in education for edutainment and game-based learning. In this study, we propose an intelligent rhythm education system using user data collection and analysis for humanoid robot rhythm generation. To do this, the user selects music and inputs rhythm information according to the selected music. The robot utilization data of this user extracts patterns through collection and analysis. Patterns are based on frequency, and FFT similarity comparison method is applied when past data is insufficient. The proposed method is validated through experiments of kindergarten children.

Recently PC games are trending toward online. But, mobile games are not using network actively. Because there are two problems that low speed of mobile network and low specification of mobile device in wireless internet environment. But, solving problems by these started HSDPA services and increased performance of devices. In this paper, we implement mobile on-line real time game for develop mobile network in wireless internet environment.

This study suggests about industrial-educational cooperation model through a case study by practical training by industrial-educational cooperation. Practical training of game development process is organized as industrial-educational cooperation pipe-line to represent whole process model, and step-cases about this are described. The purpose of this study is for learners to experience practical industry development process in a direct or indirect way. And above all, educators role in each stages of development is also important. This study would be used as a reference data about practical training and studies related with industrial-educational cooperation.

Go is the most complex board game in which the computer can not search all possible moves using an exhaustive search to find the best one. Prior to AlphaGo, all powerful computer Go programs have used the Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to overcome the difficulty in positional evaluation and the very large branching factor in a game tree. In this paper, we tried to find the best sequence of moves using an MCTS on a very small Go board. We found that a $2{\times}2$ Go game would be ended in a tie and the size of Komi should be 0 point; Meanwhile, in a $3{\times}3$ Go Black can always win the game and the size of Komi should be 9 points.

It is well known that the exercising and stimulating of fingers have an important bearing on the brain. We take note of the fact and develope a game device for improving one's health and brain ability in respect of the education and training. Especially, we develope the device focused on the balanced exercising of five finger for improving brain function. The game device is possible to used in two-ways, namely online and off-line mode. In online mode, the device is connected with other visual devices such as smart phone and smart TV and communicated with Bluetooth and it is used as a MMI(multi-modal interface) device. Whereas, in off-line mode the game device works independently and it makes possible to enjoy auditorial and tactual games without video images for promotion of brain activity and emotional cultivation. For certification of the device, we implement two games(a fishing game for off-line mode and a shooting game for online mode) for people of all age, especially good for the elderly. It is usable as a game device to offering the elderly a great help for preventing impairment of the cognitive functions.

The arcade game market is 2nd big market in the world following console game market. It is a driving force of growth for game industry but its Korean case was decreasing growth of game industry by various kinds of factors. Therefore, it is placed too much emphasis on online game industry and it lost industry growth power. The characteristics of arcade game are spatiality, expandability of device, rewardability, amusemenability. The importance of arcade game are development of new device and freedom of application it but it is restricted by prior deliberation and regulation of industry in korea. Many problems arise from classifying speculation device to arcade game and relaxation of regulation. In this paper, we analyze effectiveness from policy change in Arcade game industry, especially we focused on regulation policy. Also, we found problems and suggested alternatives by comparision on policy of foreign country.
