In this thesis was conducted to propose a method for efficient information retrieval using concept lattices. Since this thesis designed a new system based on ordinary concept lattices, it has the same approach method as ontology, but this thesis proposes new concept lattices to be used by establishing collaborative relations between objects and concepts that users are likely to search information more efficiently. The system suggested by this thesis can be summarized as below. Firstly, this system leads to a collaborative search by using Three kinds of concepts, such as keyword concept lattices, which focus on input key words, expert concept lattices recommended by experts and theme concept lattices, and based on these 3 concept lattices, it will help users search information they want more efficiently. Besides, as the expert concept and the keyword concept become combined, further providing users with the frequency of keyword and the frequency of category, this system can function to recommend key words related to search words entered by users. Another function of this system is to inform users of key words and categories used in users' interested themes by using the theme concept lattices. Secondly, when there is not keyword entered by a user, it is possible for users to achieve the goal of search through the secondary search when this system provides them with key words related to the input keyword. Thirdly, since most of the information is managed while being dispersed, such dispersed and managed information not only has different expression methods but changes as time goes. Accordingly, By using XMDR for efficient data access and integration of distributed information, this thesis proposes a new technique and retrieval system to integrate dispersed data.

As knowledge workers have increased and information interchanges become more diverse, only the resources of internal enterprise is not longer useful, and the practical use of external information through information public sharing network is even more crucial. But, few studies that use both internal and external information sharing systems together have been conducted. In this research, we carried on the depth interview to analyze the main factors that intend to utilize outside information as well as to share inside information voluntarily. In conclusion, sharing internal information is directly involved with the performance of their job exchanging simple data, past documents, and technical materials. On the other hand, using the external information belonged to several other organizations is mostly caused by the voluntary participants' satisfaction sharing their individual experience through the network systems. Based on the study, we propose the idea that can activate both internal and external information sharing network through the system with user feedback function regarding the customized information, and with the space expansion where people can freely raise their private opinion. We also introduce the plan of the construction of communication systems with various experts, and the development of compatible devices with diverse interfaces.

As the advance of WWW, unstructured data including texts are taking users' interests more and more. These unstructured data created by WWW users represent users' subjective opinions thus we can get very useful information such as users' personal tastes or perspectives from them if we analyze appropriately. In this paper, we provide various analysis efficiently for unstructured text documents by taking advantage of OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) multidimensional cube technology. OLAP cubes have been widely used for the multidimensional analysis for structured data such as simple alphabetic and numberic data but they didn't have used for unstructured data consisting of long texts. In order to provide multidimensional analysis for unstructured text data, however, Text Cube model has been proposed precently. It incorporates term frequency and inverted index as measurements to search and analyze text databases which play key roles in information retrieval. The primary goal of this paper is to apply this text cube model to a real data set from in an Internet site sharing hotel information and to provide multidimensional analysis for users' reviews on hotels written in texts. To achieve this goal, we first build text cubes for the hotel review data. By using the text cubes, we design and implement the system which provides multidimensional keyword search features to search and to analyze review texts on various dimensions. This system will be able to help users to get valuable guest-subjective summary information easily. Furthermore, this paper evaluats the proposed systems through various experiments and it reveals the effectiveness of the system.

In this paper, we propose a system that analyzes environment information by using deep learning and then provides a suitable environment for users by predicting environmental information change. As the level of living improves, interest in improving the quality of life is increasing. In particular, as the air quality deteriorated due to the recent occurrence of dust, smog, fine dust, and ultrafine dust, the indoor air quality as well as the outdoor air became a serious problem. The increase of indoor pollution due to the lack of ventilation and the use of chemicals is a serious problem for modern people who have a lot of indoor living. In order to solve this indoor air pollution, a system has been proposed that measures the state of air quality through sensors and maintains proper temperature and humidity. However, existing system has a difficulty to apply most of the atmospheric environment information to various users depending on sensors only. The system proposed in this paper predicts the indoor environment by analyzing the indoor pollution information collected through the sensor using the deep learning. Then, the predicted indoor environment is modeled and learned in this system, and the environment suitable for the user is suggested. Afterwards, the system receives feedback from the user and repeats the process of re-learning the proposed environment so that it can create the optimal environment for the user.

The effect of knowledge sharing and its importance have been reported in the information systems literature. However, little has been learned about the impact of knowledgeexchange web sites. This study explores relationships between individual characteristics such as personal innovativeness in the domain of information technology (PIIT), computer selfefficacy (CSE), and computer anxiety (CA), user involvement (UI), and knowledge sharing in a knowledge.exchange website. In order to examine our research model, we adopted a survey research design based on the Structural Equation Modeling method. By analyzing 241 samples collected, we conclude that UI and CA are valuable to discuss in terms of their theoretical and practical implications. This study not only extends the research on personal innovativeness and knowledge sharing, but also suggests a need for focused research efforts to investigate real practices on knowledge sharing. This study initiates this kind of efforts to make a relevant tie between design of knowledge sharing applications and the success case in the commercial field to encourage users to share their knowledge.

Objectives：Among the studies related to excessive computer use, the studies for elementary school students are relatively rare. Because children have relatively poor ability to recognize and express themselves, the carers' information is important to assess the children. This study attempted to investigate the relationship between children's computer use and sociopsychiatric characteristics on the basis of carers' reports. Methods：The subjects of this study were 287 5th- and 6th-grade students in the elementary school in Seoul. The student carers were asked to answer the questions for children's computer use, the computer addiction test modified from Young's parent-child internet addiction test, Korean Personality Inventory for Children(K-PIC). SPSS(version 10) was used to analyse the differnece of computer use between genders and the relation of the computer addiction test with K-PIC. Results：1) The score of computer addiction test was significantly higher in male children than in female children and more male children compared to female children were distributed in the excessive user group. 2) The score of computer addiction test correlated with the scores of most clinical scales of K-PIC and the average scores of most clinical scale were significantly higher in the excessive user group than in the general user group. 3) More children with score above 65 in HPR, DLQ, FAM scale were distributed in excessive user group than in general user group. Conclusion：The 5th- and 6th-grade elementary school students with excessive computer use were found to show more sociopsychiatric problems. With these finding we suggest that social and clinical attention to the children who use computer excessively shoud be required.

While the concept of Home Network is laying by and its interests are increasing by means of digitalizing of the information communication infrastructure, many efforts are in progress toward convenient lives. Moreover, as information household appliances which have a junction of connecting to the network are appearing over the past a few years, the demands against intellectual Home Services are increasing. In this paper, by being based upon Multimedia which is an essential factor for developing of various application services on ubiquitous computing environments, we suggest a simplified application model that could apply the information to the automated processing system after studying user's behavior patterns using authentication and access control for identity certification of users. In addition, we compared captured video images in the fixed range by pixel unit through some time and checked disorder of them. And that made safe of user certification as adopting self-developed certification method which was used 'Hash' algorism through salt function of 12 byte. In order to show the usefulness of this proposed model, we did some testing by emulator for control of information after construction for Intellectual Multimedia Server, which ubiquitous network is available on as a scheme so as to check out developed applications. According to experimental results, it is very reasonable to believe that we could extend various multimedia applications in our daily lives.

Due to the mobil-centered lifestyle following the wider use of Smartphones, Mobile services, including mobile banking and mobile shopping business have increased rapidly. Also with the emergence of "Fintech", which finance combined with technology, IT based financial market is going to be highly promising. In this trend, interests mobile credit cards are increasing. But diffusion of the mobile credit card services is still in the low level. In this situation, to identify factors that influencing satisfaction and continuous usage intention on mobile credit card, this study applied innovation diffusion theory (IDT) and post acceptance model (PAM). To conducting this research, survey data were collected, and we used SmartPLS to analyze survey data. As a result of the study, perceived easy of use, image, compatibility and facilitation positively affect user's satisfaction in mobile credit cards and that such satisfaction have a positive impact on continuous intention to use. The facilitation influences user satisfaction more strongly for those who use mobile credit cards more than plastic credit cards. Also, perceived of use and image influence user satisfaction more strongly for those who use plastic credit cards more than mobile credit cards. It is expected that this study can be a guideline for credit card service providers and policy makers to invigorate mobile credit card business. Also it worths as a early-stage research on Fintech-related studies.

Due to recent interest in user experience and its significance, much research surrounding this theme is now being conducted. In this research, I investigated user experience during usage of a product and the satisfaction acquired by it, as well as the relationship between satisfaction of having used a product and whether the user would be more likely to purchase another product from the same company. The same experiment was conducted in South Korea and the United States of America in order to get more generalized experimental results. I found that amongst the six representative user emotions expressed while using a product, two of them correlated the most. First, 'Satisfaction in Usability' (the emotions aroused by satisfaction with usage or the practicality of the product); and second, 'Discomfort or Displeasure' (uncomfortable or unpleasant emotions expressed while using a product. The above two factors were found to be of the most influence concerning satisfaction of the product. Also 'Satisfaction in Usability' was found to be of the most influence in their preferability towards purchasing an item from the same company in the future. The significance of this finding is that aside from focussing on the attractiveness of the product's exteriors and design, one should be concerned on the ease of usage and effectiveness as well as usability of the product, all of which contribute to how efficiently a consumer will utilize the product. Furthermore, in agreement with previous research concerning the correlation between satisfaction of a product and positive perspective on consecutive purchases, the result of this study shows that the more satisfaction consumers feel after using a product, the more likely they are to purchase additional merchandises from the same company which manufactured the original product.
