The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of the smartphone overuse on health and academic impairment in adolescents. This study used data from Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey of 2017. This survey was conducted on 64,991 adolescents(middle and high school students), and 62,276 (95.8%) responded. The researchers used frequency analysis, independent t test, chi-square test and Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS 22. As a result, the usage rate of adolescents's smartphone was 54,603 out of 62,276, which was 87.7%. The purpose of smartphone usage was messenger(1st rank, 27.3%), SNS(2nd rank, 18.7%) and game(3rd rank, 13.3%). The average daily use time of the smartphone was 206.68±194.73 minutes. Girl students showed significantly more use time of smartphones than boy students(p<.001). Students with more than 206 minutes of smartphone use had worse health and academic performance than students with less than 206 minutes(p<.001). Time of smart phone usage and academic ability showed a weak correlation(p<.001, r=.245). The present findings showed that the higher the smartphone usage, the lower the health level and academic ability, and the author discussed these results.

This study investigates the effects of sociality, life stress, and depression on smartphone addiction among nursing college students. In October and November 2019, data was collected from nursing college students situated in certain areas. The data of totally 270 students was finally analyzed by frequency, percentage, t-test, and ANOVA, to examine differences in smartphone addiction according to the general characteristics of the subjects. Major variables and multiple regression analysis was carried out to examine factors influencing smartphone addiction. We determined that hours of using a smartphone (β=0.183, p<0.001), life stress (β=0.369, p<0.001), and depression (β=0.205, p=0.012) significantly affect smartphone addiction, having an explanatory power of 33.5%. Life stress (r=0.50, p<0.001) and depression (r=0.35, p<0.001) have high positive correlations with smartphone addiction, whereas sociality (r=-0.20, p<0.001) is negatively correlated. To summarize, our results indicate that hours of using a smartphone, life stress, and depression have important impacts on smartphone addiction among nursing college students. These findings raise a need to reinforce the development of programs to help nursing college students increase their ability of managing hours of using a smartphone, and reduce their life stress and depression to prevent subsequent smartphone addiction.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the factors that affects smartphone addiction of elementary school students. The subjects were 263 students, from 4 elementary schools located in G-city. Data were collected from July, 2014 and analyzed using SPSS 19.0 program. The prevalence of addiction risk group and non-addicted group were 16.0% and 84.0%, respectively. The variables which had statistically significant differences with smart phone addiction of general characteristics are grade, living together family, economic status, school record, motivation for usage, advantage of usage and using time (p<.05). There was pure correlation between the smartphone addiction and impulsivity (r=.496, p<.001), daily stress (r=.471, p<.001). However, perceived parental attitude (r=-.375, p<.001) and self-esteem (r=-.444, p<.001) were inverse correlation with smartphone addiction. Higher using time, higher impulsivity and higher daily stress were all associated with increased of smartphone addiction level. These results suggest that more attentions should be given to early adolescents and could be effectively used as fundamental data to develop intervention programs, which can prevent the smartphone addiction.

This study was to investigate the Influence of smart phone use on gait in healthy adults. Twenty healthy adults were recruited in this study. All subjects performed twice for each normal gait and smart phone gait. The normal gait walked at their chosen speed, and the smart phone gait walked while watching the video. GAITRite system was used to identify the temporal and spatial variables related to the gait pattern during walking. Statistical analysis was analyzed by paired t-test. In comparison of temporal variables, smart phone gait was significantly lower in gait speed and cadence than in normal gait(p<.05), and was significantly longer in single support time and double support time(p<.05). In comparison of spatial variables, smart phone gait was significantly shorter in step length and stride length than in normal gait(p<.05) and significantly longer in step width(p<.05). The results of this study demonstrated that smartphone use can negatively affect the correct gait patterns during walking.

스마트폰의 이용자가 최근 급증하고 있다. 그에 반응하듯 많은 기업들은 기존의 서비스 외에도 스마트폰을 이용해 사용할 수 있는 서비스들을 시작하고 있고, 기존의 모바일로 불가능했던 작업들을 장소와 시간에 구애받지 않고 가능케 되었다. 이처럼 스마트폰의 이용인구가 급격히 증가하고 관련 컨텐츠들이 봇물 쏟아지듯 넘쳐나면서 개인정보 유출이나 악성코드로 인한 보안 사고도 급격히 늘고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰에 악영향을 미치는 악성코드에 대해 간단히 살펴보고, 악성코드가 쉽게 보안체계를 무너뜨릴 수 있게 만드는 스마트폰의 보안 위협요소 대하여 알아본다. 또 현재 사용되고 있는 대응 방안은 무엇이 있는지, 그리고 향후에 이러한 악성코드들과 위협요소를 줄이는 방법, 또는 대응 전략에 대하여 연구하였다. 이러한 연구는 스마트폰 보안 사고를 줄이거나 사전에 예방하고, 더 나은 스마트폰 사용 환경을 제공할 것이다.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of smartphone addiction interventions among university students. Selection criteria included university students, smartphone addiction interventions, smartphone addiction, depression, anxiety, self-control and time of smartphone usage. A total of 915 articles were retrieved. From those, 15 studies from 13 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis showed that smartphone addiction interventions undergone by university students had statistical significance in alleviating smartphone addiction (d=-1.57, 95% CI:-2.84, -0.30), depression (d=-3.73, 95% CI:-4.97, -2.48), and self-control (d=7.28, 95% CI:2.76, 11.79); but were not significantly effective in improving anxiety and reducing time of smartphone usage. The systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that smartphone addiction interventions boost the alleviation of smartphone addiction. However, it remains necessary to conduct well-designed randomized controlled trials, including the consideration of various cultural characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the usability and user interface in different types of smart phones. KLM(key-stroke-level model) model estimation and observation values were calculated to perform 12 functional factors in 3 different groups. In results, it was found that the usability of smart phones are similar in basic and general functions. On the contrary, the usability of smart phones are different in more complex functions. Current results can be used to anticipate the future effort to improve user interface design in smart phone.

공중장소에서 충전기에 꽂힌 상태로 무방비로 도난의 위협에 방치되어있는 스마트폰들을 아주 쉽게 발견할 수 있다. 잃어버린 스마트폰은 다시 구매하면 되지만 혹시라도 미처 백업하지 못한 자료나 연락처 등의 소중한 정보의 손실로 인해 피해는 클 것이다. 공중장소에서 충전중인 스마트폰을 절도를 목적으로 무단으로 전원에서 분리할 가능성에 대비하여 경고화면을 보여주는 한편, 만일 무단으로 충전기에서 뽑거나 케이블을 절단하면 경보를 울리는 한편, 현재 위치의 위도와 경도를 SMS기능을 사용해 지정한 전화번호로 해당 정보를 전송하는 기능을 안드로이드에 구현하였다. 이를 통해 도난이 되더라도 스마트폰을 잃어버린 위치와 시간을 특정 할 수 있게 도와 줄 수 있기 때문에, 도난이 의심되는 해당 시설 또는 근처의 CCTV영상을 확보하여 범인을 빨리 특정할 수 있게 함으로써 최대한 빠르게 스마트폰을 되찾을 수 있는 확률을 높여주고, 스마트폰에 대한 절도억제 효과도 줄 수 있다.
