Gaining information via the internet is becoming pivotal in today's society as the internet is becoming the center of knowledge and information. The goal of this study is to present the guideline of web interface design for the elderly who are alienated in gaining information from the Internet. If the internet were more user friendly to the elderly, they would be able to spend more time in doing what they enjoy and also in self development, with the information gained on the internet. This study investigated current portal sites to understand the present situation, surveyed and interviewed the elderly, and researched literatures on how the elderly perceive various stimulants and also researched documents for previous guidelines on interface design for them. This study investigated internet sites which the elderly use to gather information about products and which entice their purchasing desires. The conclusion is that the usability can be improved by eliminating visual dizzy elements in the pages, simplifying the layout and the menu designs which represent the information architecture.

The purpose of this study is to examine how online knowledge-based search service is being used by students in science education. Reviewing information and summarizing data are important parts in scientific inquiry. As more and more information is available online, how to review and summarize online information for scientific inquiry also becomes an issue. In this study, we examined one of the popular online knowledge-based search services to see what kinds of information in secondary school chemistry are mostly sought and how reliable those information could be. The result indicated that users mostly seek scientific explanations and problem solving but about 30% of provided information appeared to be incorrect. It implicates that it is necessary to pay attention for teaching students how to obtain, evaluate, and communicate online information in science education to enhance students' ability for scientific inquiry.

The importance of effective delivery of information in the mobile web is increasing in Korea, due to the growing number of smart-phone users. In this study, I took a look at the characteristics of mobile devices and the mobile web, and after researching Korea's portal websites' mobile web designs, we figured out the users' preferences of mobile web designs through surveys and interviews. To provide compressed information on a small screen, it is ideal for significant contents to show up in the state that does not require scrolling. Users preferred compact and neat designs, and menus that were made with icons that are easy to touch with fingers, in the mobile web. When receiving delivered information, users preferred not only texts but texts that were provided together with photograph images. If usability evaluations and examination of preferences are achieved together, I think it will serve as a mobile web guideline that enables efficient delivery of information in the mobile web.

The growth of blogs has two aspect of providing various information and marketing. This study collected the rankings of blog posts of large portal using OpenAPI and investigated the features of blogs ranked through the exploratory data analysis technique. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the influence of the blogger and the recent creation date of the post were highly influential factors in the top rank. Due to the weakness of these evaluation algorithms, there was a problem of showing the search results which is concentrated to the power blogger's post. In this study, we propose an algorithm that improves the reliability of content by adding the reliability DB information which is verified by the experts and reflects the fairness of the application of the ranking score through the trend index indicating various public interests. Improved algorithms have made it possible to provide more reliable information in the search results of the relevant field and have an effect of making it difficult to manipulate ranking by illegal applications that increase the number of visitors.

This paper proposes a system which recommends movies using information from social network services containing personal interest and taste. Method for establishing data is as follows. The system gathers movies' information from web sites and user's information from social network services such as Facebook and twitter. The data from social network services is categorized into six steps of emotion level for more accurate processing following users' emotional states. Gathered data will be established into vector space model which is ideal for analyzing and deducing the information with the system which is suggested in this paper. The existing similarity measurement method for movie recommendation is presentation of vector information about emotion level and similarity measuring method on the coordinates using Cosine measure. The deducing method suggested in this paper is two-phase arithmetic operation as follows. First, using general cosine measurement, the system establishes movies list. Second, using similarity measurement, system decides recommendable movie list by vector operation from the coordinates. After Comparative Experimental Study on the previous recommendation systems and new one, it turned out the new system from this study is more helpful than existing systems.

This study aims to critically discuss the problems that need to be solved from a humanities perspective in order to utilize big data. It identifies and discusses three research problems that may arise from collecting, processing, and using big data. First, it looks at the fake information circulating with regard to problems with the data itself, specifically looking at article-type advertisements and fake news related to politics. Second, discrimination by the algorithm was cited as a problem with big data processing and its results. This discrimination was seen while searching for engineers on the portal site. Finally, problems related to the invasion of personal related information were seen in three categories: the right to privacy, the right to self-determination of information, and the right to be forgotten. This study is meaningful in that it points out the problems facing in the aspect of big data utilization from the humanities perspective in the era of big data and discusses possible problems in the collection, processing, and use of big data, respectively.
