The progress of Information Technology enables people can communicate each others using the Internet. As a smartphone proliferates, many free mobile VoIP(Voice over IP) application are developed and accepted by smartphone users. In this study we investigate the factors affecting the acceptance of mobile VoIP applications and the structural relationship among these factors. We review the related works and extract the related factors and build a research model describing the causal relationship among these factors. We conduct an empirical study - a survey and statistical analysis - to verify the research model. EFA(Exploratory Factor Analysis) is applied for variables in the survey and SEM(Structural Equation Model) is used to reveal the structural relationship among the factors. We can find that two factors - usefulness of mobile VoIP and social influence - positively affect usage intention and actual use. These findings imply that it is required to emphasize the benefits of mobile VoIP use and add S/W functionalities enhancing social influence.

Thanks to popularization of smart phone, mobile payment market is growing rapidly. As the obligatory use of digital certificate is abolished, easy-to-use payment that can settle with only password is being launched one after another. But its spreading speed is not fast highly. Because of concern about personal information leakage and security, unchangeability of payment habit, insufficiency of consumer protection, inadequacy of payment infrastructure and all sorts of regulations, easy-to-use payment is not activated. Recently global IT companys are entering mobile payment market competitively. It is because the sense of crisis that their survival can be dangerous from now on if they get left behind Fintech innovation and the mentality that they try to take the leadership of mobile payment market process. In this situation, the thorough preparation and a lot of effort are required to promote our autonomous easy-to-use payment growth without dependance on foreign country's. In this paper, the problems of local mobile easy-to-use payment are addressed in depth and the activation measures such as flexible and discriminative security, construction of customer protection system, law system maintenance, service differentiation are proposed.

Recent development in wireless communication technology, like GPS, and mobile equipments, like PDA and cellular phone, make location-based services (LBSs) popular. However, because, users continuously request a query to a server in the LBSs by using their exact locations, privacy information could be in danger. Therefore, a mechanism for users' privacy protection is required for the safe and comfortable use of LBSs by mobile users. For this, we, in this paper, propose a grid-based cloaking area creation scheme supporting continuous LBSs in peer-to-peer environment. The proposed scheme creates a cloaking area by using Chord protocol, so as to support the continuous LBSs in peer-to-peer environment. Finally, we show from a performance analysis that our cloaking scheme outperforms the existing cloaking schemes, in terms of service time.

After releasing the smart phone equipping the strong computational capability compared to traditional mobil phone, a field of services, which is available on the personal computers, is expanded to smart phone. The development of technology reduces the limited service utilization on time and space but it has a venerability exposing an information to malicious user. Especially we need to more attention when using the financial services which communicate the user's private information. To solve the security problem, OTP(One Time Pad), which uses a private key for a session, is recommended. OTP techniques in smart phone having focused on traditional environments have been proposed and implemented. However, security over mobile environments is more vulnerable to attack and has restriction on resources than traditional system. For this reason, definition of proper conceptual OTP on smart phone is required. In the paper, we present the L-OTP(Location-OTP) protocol, using T-OTP(Time One Time Pad) technique with location information. Proposal generates the OTP using unique location information which is obtained in smart phone.

As for civil service support, the interaction between citizens as well as the government and citizens has an important value, and the participation between citizens be very important. The interaction between these citizens can lead to spreading the use of the app by getting them to share their status information with an specified number of people in the public service such as a social network service. Mobile-based social network service has various built-in sensors to increase the interaction between the government and citizens and post the status information of users on SNS. In this regard, this paper proposed a social network application for civil services based on the Android by using location-based context information. Experimental results showed that since the application proposed in this paper can be applied to low-performance system and exhibits high performance, it can allow users located at a short distance to detect new information and share contents by adding the content to SNS which is the closest to the location of users.

Due to Proliferation of Mobile Devices, the Global Mobile Application (App) Market is Set to Continue its Impressive Growth Trajectory. However, like other Digital Contents, Prevalent Piracy of Smartphone Apps has Become One of the Major Obstacles to the Growth of the Newborn App Industry. The Objective of this Study is to Examine and Better Understand the Effects of Factors Which has been Known to Influence PC Software Piracy. A Research Model Explaining the Impact of Various Factors to Smartphone App Piracy Attitude and Intention is Constructed Based on Theories of Ethical Behavior. A Survey of College Students was Conducted to Test the Research Model. Findings Show that PC Software Piracy Habit and Attitude have Significant Effects on Smartphone Piracy Attitude and Intention. Beliefs Concerning Judicial and Performance Risks Due to Piracy have Little Effects on Smartphone App Piracy Attitude.

Globally, the emergence of smart phones vitalized the ecosystem of mobile data service industry. Consequentially, mobile data traffic has been explosively growing and the speed of growth will be more steep. New spectrum will be required in order to properly accommodate the explosively growing mobile data traffic. However, it will be difficult to acquire a sufficient guard band between different frequency bands because the range of frequency which is suitable for wireless communications is limited. Thus, the performance degradation caused by inter-band interference will be one of challenging problems in the next generation mobile communication systems. In this paper, we analyze the performance degradation caused by inter-band interference by computer simulations in various environments. Our results show that the impact of the inter-band interference is more critical when own signal is poor or its own interference from neighboring cells is low.

Recently, various mobile services are provided by the spread of wireless network infrastructures and smart devices. The improvement of cloud computing technologies increases the interests for enterprise mobile cloud services in various IT companies as well. By increasing the interests for enterprise mobile cloud services, it is necessary to evaluate the use of enterprise mobile cloud services. Therefore, the factors which affect the user acceptance of enterprise mobile cloud services are analyzed on the basis of Davis' technology acceptance model in this research. As analysis results, four external variables have significant effects on perceived ease of use of mobile cloud services. Also, these variables indirectly affect attitude toward using cloud services. The results show that the security is the most important factor for attitude toward using enterprise mobile cloud services. The service users also consider the interoperability as an important factor for the user acceptance of cloud services. The perceived ease of use has more contribution than the perceive usefulness on attitude toward using enterprise mobile cloud services. This research has both industrial and academic contributions because it provides the guideline to companies for introducing the enterprise mobile cloud services and apply the technology acceptance model on new IT services.
