In this study, we analyzed the accessibility of open platform Android mobile banking applications, based on Korean mobile application accessibility KS standard, Section 508 technical standard of Rehabilitation Act, and European BBC guidelines. Experimental result showed that there are no mobile banking applications of 8 commercial banks in Korea that satisfy all guidelines of three standards. Typical violations included missing alternative text, keyboard focus violations, control size and spacing non-compliance, and low contrast ratio. These violations are fatal in that they make the accessibility of the blind, the disabled and the low vision and the elderly impossible. The reason that mobile banking applications do not comply with accessibility is that mobile application developers and providers have low awareness of accessibility and do not know how to implement accessibility properly. Comparing Korea mobile application accessibility guidelines with the revised standard of the Section 508 of Rehabilitation Act and the BBC standard, many guidelines are missing. Also, evaluation criteria are ambiguous and abstract, making it difficult for developers to refer specifically. Therefore, improving mobile application accessibility requires developer and government efforts and complementation of standards.

In this paper, the Digital DoorLock by Internet of Things (DDiT) is introduced. In order to implement DDiT, an integrated micro-controller platform, Arduino is used to control an existing digital doorlock and an android type smart phone is adopted as a mobile platform. One of the advantages of DDiT is that it can be added to an existing digital doorlock and a smart phone application is used as a digital key. Owing to the smart phone application, several other types of applications could also be made. Therefore, DDiT could be used effectively and conveniently in ordinary homes as well as in high security applications such as in hotels, institutes, and companies.

Smart phone products lead the mobile computing world really, and be expected as a major object of mobile phone market. In special, Android OS platform in smart phones is remarkedly uprising as of main software architecture. As many applications are applied as of the Location Based Service system in the perspective of technical support which represents open based technology. In this research, we developed the location information transformation service module, using LBS system, which effects some users urgently in the timing of traffic accidents. It supports to help some car drivers with smart phone, enables them to recognizes remote controller or another users.

Recently, an interest in a mobile search is increasing according to the growing propagation of smart phones. However, a keypad, which is not appropriate for mobile environment, is the only input media for the mobile search. As an alternative, voice emerged as a new media for the mobile search, but this also has weaknesses. Thus, in the paper, we propose a mobile content called Orthros for searching the Internet using images as an input. Orthros extracts texts from images, and then inserts the texts to public search engines as a keyword. Also, Orthros can repeat searching with the extracted texts by storing result URL to internal databases. As an experiment, we analyze properties of recognizable images and present the implementation method in details.

본 논문에서는 모바일 증강현실을 실현하기 위한 3차원 모델기반 카메라 추적 기술을 제안한다. 3차원 모델기반 추적 기술은 평면적이지 않은 객체에 적용 가능하며, 특히 텍스처가 없는 환경에서 유용하다. 제안하는 방식은 대상 객체의 3차원 모델정보로부터 영상에서 추출한 에지와의 대응점을 찾고, 대응점의 거리를 최소화하는 카메라 움직임을 추정함으로써 이전 카메라 포즈(위치 및 방향)로부터 현재 포즈가 추적되는 방식이다. 안드로이드 플랫폼의 스마트폰 상에서 제안된 방식으로 카메라 포즈를 추적하고 3차원 가상 콘텐츠를 증강시켜 봄으로써 그 유용성을 확인한다.

모바일 환경에서는 배터리 용량의 한계로 에너지 효율성이 매우 중요하나, CPU의 이용률에 기반한 DVFS로는 소비 전력 감소에 한계가 존재한다. 모바일 어플리케이션은 사용자와의 상호 동작에 따라 다른 성향을 보여주기 때문에, 이 특성을 이용하여 사용자가 체감하는 성능저하 없이 소비 전력을 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 입력과 어플리케이션 간의 상관 관계를 바탕으로 수행 단계를 분석하였으며, 이에 맞추어 CPU 동작 주파수 범위를 조절함으로써 사용자 반응성을 유지하면서 소비 전력을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 안드로이드 플랫폼에 적용하여 실험한 결과, 기존 대비 휴대폰의 이용 시간을 최대 2시간 증가시켰다.

As the growing popularity of smartphones, mobile web browsing has become one of the most important and popular applications in mobile devices. Furthermore, it is clear that the demand for PC-like full browser performance on mobile devices is increasing greatly. WebKit is an open source web browser engine adopted by Google Android. This paper proposed a technique of increasing the performance of WebKit by paralleling its libraries. This method was applied to JPEG library and the performance evaluation was conducted in PC environment. The results was used to estimate the performance prediction on multi-core mobile embedded architecture and to show the feasibility of the proposed method to estimate the performance gain on heterogeneous multi-core embedded architecture.

According to the changes of the mobile environments, the usage and interest of the Android apps have been increased. But the usage of illegally-copied apps has been also increased. And the transparency and dependability of the app markets has been decreased. Therefore there are many cases for the copyright infringement of app developers. Although several methods for preventing illegally-copied apps have been studied, there may exist possible ways to bypass the methods. Since it is difficult to find out the first distributors of the illegally-copied apps, it is not easy to punish them legally. This paper proposes the method of detecting illegally-copied apps. The proposed detector can detect the illegally-copied apps using odex file, which is created when the app is installed. The detector can also find out the information of the first distributors based on forensic watermark technique. Since the illegally-copied app detector is running as a service on the system server, it is granted that the detector hides from the users. As an experiment result, the illegally-copied app detector takes on average within 0.2 seconds to detect and delete an illegally-copied app.

As a software component for computer game, the physics engine simulates objects' movement according to the laws of physics. This paper introduces a design and implementation of mobile game on the Android platform, where we used JBox2D physics engine library and Android graphics APIs. We borrowed the key idea of this game from Crayon Physics which is known as a famous PC game. This game starts with no way from user character to destination character. The game user has to make a way to destination character from user character by creating polygon objects between them. The user wins when user character meets destination character. However, the game user has to decide the time to create objects and their shapes well because all objects in this game are governed by the laws of physics. As an important thing of this paper, we introduced into this game new input methods of LCD touch and sensors embedded in mobile devices but not in PCs. Game users can create objects by drawing polygons with LCD touch and move objects or characters according to sensor values from accelerator sensors by tilting the mobile device.
