The objective of this research is to identify the factors which influence users' intention to use mobile Internet. There are lots of researches based on Technology Acceptance Model trying to identify the factors which have influence on accepting mobile Internet and its related services. These researches, however, have some limitation in the sense that they focus only on the features of mobile Internet itself while users make overall decision after the comparison of a new service channel with existing service channels in many directions. Therefore, we are going to analyze the impact of users' perception on the difference between mobile and stationary Internet toward their intention to use mobile Internet. We identified the features like ubiquitous availability, context awareness, compatibility, friendliness, and economic value from literature review and developed a structural model about the impact of users' perception on the differences of these features between mobile and stationary Internet toward their intention to use mobile Internet through mediate variables such as perceived ease of use, perceived playfulness, and perceived usefulness. After that, we conducted an experimental analysis for the model, and addressed a solution to rev up the usage of mobile Internet based on the results of the analysis.

As the spread of smartphones has become more common and the utilization rate has increased, the mobile shopping market is also growing and expectations for related industries are also increasing. Mobile shopping apps are converging with various industries such as fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, and competition among companies to increase the number of users is intensifying with the activation of non-face-to-face. Accordingly, in this study, a study on the perceived value and intention to use mobile shopping apps was conducted based on a VAM. In order to test the hypothesis of this study, a questionnaire was conducted on 266 people who had used a mobile shopping app and it was used for analysis. Looking at the results, it was confirmed that both usefulness and enjoyment among the perceived benefit of mobile shopping apps have a positive (+) effect on the perceived value. However, it was found that the technicality and perceived risk among the perceived sacrifices of mobile shopping apps did not significantly affect the perceived value. Finally, it was confirmed that the perceived value of the mobile shopping app had a positive (+) effect on the intention to use. Through this study, we would like to examine the factors that can affect perceived value and usage intention in the mobile shopping app industry, which is increasingly competitive among companies along with the rapid growth of mobile technology and market, and suggest practical implications for related companies and officials to establish efficient strategies to further increase mobile shopping app users.

디지털 기술의 발달과 급진적인 IT 산업의 발전은 환경적 인프라의 통합 및 구축을 촉진시켰으며, 이를 기반으로 한 모바일 기기들의 기술적 통합 (Technology Convergence)을 통하여 테크노매드 (Technomad)와 같은 이동성향을 가진 사용자들이 등장하기 시작하였다. 모바일 컨버전스 디바이스에 대한 사용자들의 니즈 (Needs)는 점차 증가추세를 보이고 있으나, 모바일 컨버전스 디바이스의 수요는 캐즘을 넘지 못하여 시장에서 성공적으로 진입하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 모바일 컨버전스 디바이스를 통해서 얻을 수 있는 디지털 서비스의 구축이 미비한 부분도 있기는 하지만, 만족스럽지 못한 사용성이나, 기기의 도메인적 특성의 불명확함은 기술이나 성능의 수용 민감도가 높은 선각수용자 (Early Adopter)들의 사용에서만 그치게 하는 등의 한계점을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 모바일 컨버전스 디바이스의 개념과 도메인적 특성을 조사하고, 이를 통하여 사용 임계값 (Threshold)이 매스유저 (Mass User)가 모바일 컨버전스 디바이스를 사용하는데 진입장벽의 원인으로 작용하는 것을 발견하였다. 이러한 사용 임계값 (Threshold)이 실제 태스크 (Task)수행 시 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 휴리스틱과 선각수용자 (Early Adopter)의 웹 기반 조사를 실시하였고, 사용 임계값 (Threshold)의 영향으로 제대로 사용이 이루어지지 않는 태스크 타입 (Task Type)에 따라 시간적, 물리적 사용 임계값 관리 (Threshold Management)가 필요함을 발견하였다. 이를 개선하기 위해 실제 사용자들의 사용을 FGI (Focused Group Interview) 및 Contextual Inquiry 등의 정성적인 사용자 조사방법을 실시하여, 사용자에게 모바일 컨버전스 디바이스를 통하여 만족스런 사용성 및 경험을 제공하기 위해서는 시간적, 물리적, 시야적 사용 임계값 관리 (Threshold Management)를 개선 해야 함을 밝혀내고 결론적으로 이에 대한 가이드라인을 도출하였다.

Although the study in If behavior field has recently increased, only few studies have focused on the moderating effect of adopter type on the post adoption behavior The purpose of this study is to verify the post-adoption behavior depending on adopter types in the mobile Internet domains. This study proposed a post adoption model based on prior continuance model. This theoretical model was verified empirically by conducting web surveys and multi group analysis. Based on the survey data, we classified users into continuer and discontinuer. This paper ends with theoretical and managerial implications of the study results, as well as limitations and future research directions.

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services) is one of the most basic services of mobile communication as well as a promising m-commerce enabling service. In our study, we hypothesize that the personality-based and cognitive traits of TAM and social cognitive theory are antecedents to MMS acceptance asking: what are the key determinants of intention to use MMS? An empirical investigation of 1,016 mobile phone users in South Korea was conducted. PLS results provided support for the effects of self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, relative advantage, credibility on attitude toward MMS use and strong support for the effect of attitude toward intention to use MMS. Our results provided a detailed account of the key forces underlying users intention to use MMS including personal and cognitive trait measures. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed in the paper.

This paper proposes a scheme to maximize traffic capacity for supporting mobile multimedia services. For a handoff session, we suggest a novel resource reservation scheme to adjust the number of reserved resources in macrocell, depending on the number of saturated microcells. The proposed schemes are able to accommodate much more mobile sessions in the microcell and significantly reduce the blocking probability in the macrocell at the expense of the small increment of a forced termination in the microcell. Therefore, our system is more flexible to the increase of traffic in macrocell.

t Global logistics companies are developing and introducing logistics systems to provide competitive logistics services. Especially as IT develops and mobile functions become more convenient, the Mobile TMS(Transportation Management System) is being introduced as a more convenient system for delivery workers and office managers. However, the success of such a system depends on the system developer who understand the site accurately and office managers and couriers who are using it in the field. The purpose of this paper is to understand which characteristics influence in exploiting new systems focusing on the attitudes of users who use the system daily, and we analyze it through the TAM(Technology Acceptance Model). According to the analysis result, when smart phone has become popular, users have concluded that usefulness is more significant than ease in acceptance of the systems. As a result, we draw suggestions that the focus should be on usefulness rather than ease of system at the stage of system developed.
