This study aims to enhance the usability of eBook reader programs on personal computers through heuristic evaluation in order to learn users' perceptions and derive key elements for interface design. For this purpose, the traditional usability evaluation and heuristic evaluation method were studied. A total of 22 evaluators of the heuristic evaluation were taken by purposive sampling to test the interface of eBook reader on PCs. This study suggested ten heuristics that focus on improving and specializing the usability aspects of reading digital materials.

본 논문에서는 일반책에서의 정적 컨텐츠 요소와 오디오나 동영상 등의 멀티미디어 요소를 디지털 형태의 정보로 가공 및 저장하여 전자북을 편집할 수 있는 전자 출판 시스템을 설계한다. 기존의 전자북들은 멀티미디어 요소들을 보기 위한 별도의 전용 뷰어 설치가 요구되며, 서로 다른 포맷이나 다양한 프로그램들로 제작되어 문서의 통합 저장 및 관리가 어려운 실정이다. 본 논문에서 설계한 시스템은 별도의 전용 뷰어 대신 익스플로어와 같은 일반적인 뭔 브라우저를 이용하는 웹 뷰어를 지원하고, XML을 사용하여 보다 효율적으로 정보의 통합 관리 및 저장을 지원함으로써 다양한 컨텐츠 정보의 고수준의 재사용성을 제공한다. 또한, 웹상에서의 멀티미디어 요소들의 표현 시 요구되는 동기화 처리 기술을 위하여 SMIL을 이용함으로써 보다 다양한 멀티미디어 컨텐츠 및 멀티미디어 요소들의 시간적, 이벤트 발생적 동기화를 지원하여 정보 전달의 이해도를 놀일 수 있도록 한다. 설계 시스템은 웹 상에서 전자북을 보기위한 웹 뷰어, 전자북 출판 시 텍스트와 멀티미디어 요소를 표현하는 XML과 SMIL문서를 각각 자동적으로 생성하는 XMLnSMIL 에디터, 생성된 각 문서들을 데이터베이스에 저장하기 위한 XMLnSMIL2DB 저장기, 데이터베이스 내의 데이터들로 부터 XML과 SMIL문서를 자동으로 생성하는 DB2XMLnSMIL 생성기 등으로 구성된다.

This study analyzed the operation status of the military library and e-book service in order to improve the soldiers' access to the reading environment and to suggest a plan to revitalize the military library. As a result of the survey, it was found that it is necessary to improve the environment such as the IT environment, devices, and time allowed for access to activate the use of e-books. According to the interview results, problems such as low usage rate and awareness of the digital library, the use of different e-book viewers and management systems for each distributor when distributing e-books, and the dissemination of e-books for the management and accessibility of the Armed Services Editions in library were raised. In order to activate the e-book service of the library in the military, diversify e-book service promotion and education programs, activations such as establish standards for the e-book operating system for each county, use platforms and devices to promote e-book operation and use, and construction of e-book service using Armed Services Editions were derived.

In this paper, we design and implement electronic book system providing web-based interface for the ebook. The aim of this study is to optimize the effective reading and management of electronic text for its users(readers and librarians). Advanced functions of the electronic book system are the following: 1) Electronic book system is not dependent to specific software and tool. 2) Electronic book system is able to. minimize images(table, image, icon etc) to improve the meaning and readability of information. 3) Electronic book system is able to reduce the effort for indexing extraction and constructing the table of content. 4) The system is able to collect the user log files that are created during the process of reading ebook from various points of view. 5) When reading, the system uses the DRM through decoding and encoding the ebook.
