스마트폰 응용 프로그램의 메모리 관리는 응용 프로그램의 속도와 안정성 측면에서 중요하게 다루어진다. 응용 프로그램에서 다루는 요소 중 이미지는 메모리 사용량의 많은 부분을 차지하며, 메모리의 여유 공간 내에서 이미지가 사용될 수 있도록 관리되어야 한다. 그러나 이미지의 해상도가 커지거나 다루게 되는 이미지의 개수가 늘어날 수록 이미지 객체의 관리의 어려움도 늘어나게 된다. 이미지 객체가 메모리 공간이 부족한 시점에서 메모리에 적재될 경우 응용 프로그램은 성능이 저하되거나 강제 종료될 수 있어 응용 프로그램의 사용성과 안정성이 낮아지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 안드로이드의 응용 프로그램에서 사용되는 이미지가 메모리의 많은 공간을 차지할 때, 안정적인 응용 프로그램 구동 환경을 제공해주는 동적 메모리 관리 기법을 적용하여 OOM(Out of Memory) 오류가 발생하는 문제를 해결하고자 한다.

Image processing is one of the major techniques that are used for computer vision. Nowadays, researchers are using machine learning and deep learning for the aforementioned task. In recent years, digit recognition tasks, i.e., automatic meter recognition approach using electric or water meters, have been studied several times. However, two major issues arise when we talk about previous studies: first, the use of the deep learning technique, which includes a large number of parameters that increase the computational cost and consume more power; and second, recent studies are limited to the detection of digits and not storing or providing detected digits to a database or mobile applications. This paper proposes a system that can detect the digital number of meter readings using a lightweight deep neural network (DNN) for low power consumption and send those digits to an Android mobile application in real-time to store them and make life easy. The proposed lightweight DNN is computationally inexpensive and exhibits accuracy similar to those of conventional DNNs.

개방형 플랫폼이라는 안드로이드의 특성을 이용해 블랙마켓 애플리케이션이 급격히 활성화 되어 불법 애플리케이션이 유통 되고 있다. 불법 애플리케이션의 유통은 마켓의 수익 구조가 파괴되어 개발자들의 개발 의지를 저하시켜 마켓의 활성화를 저해하는 요인이 되며 악성코드 배포의 경로가 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 스마트폰 애플리케이션을 공식적으로 유통하는 안드로이드 마켓과 비공식적으로 유통하는 블랙마켓 "Blackmart Alpha"의 월별 애플리케이션 등록건수를 비교 분석해 불법 애플리케이션 유통의 현황을 파악하였다. 이는 향후 애플리케이션의 불법적 접근을 사전에 대응하는 방법과 함께 불법적으로 변형된 애플리케이션을 검증할 수 있는 방법 위한 것이다.

Digital Signage, a way of advertising or delivering information to viewers through digital displays, has expanded from being just an advertising channel in public places. Recently, it has become widely prevalent in restaurants and retail stores. Despite its wide expansion, digital signage is limited to specific usages and services and the devices it uses are also quite expensive. This study introduces a stick-type digital signage product that operates on Android OS, which addresses all the weaknesses of digital signage with much more reasonable pricing and stable operation. For stability, performance tests were executed on the hardware and applications. The results for hardware performance were extremely promising, as each scenario's maximum performance results, measured by Load Runner programs, reached target indexes. Also, as a result of the usability test, all participants, including non-digital signage system users (novices), were able to easily learn all the tasks. As a result of user satisfaction survey, positive responses were exhibited for ease of learning and usability (LEU), helpfulness and problem solving capabilities (HPSC), affective aspect and multimedia properties (AAMP), commands and minimal memory load (CMML), and control and efficiency (CE).

As of March 2020, this study divided the applications for young children installed on Android-based smart-phones in Korea into top and bottom groups according to review scores, and selected 30 applications each, conducted content analysis and application evaluation, and looked at differences between groups. Through this, by providing objective information on the smart-phone application for young children, it is intended to help parents and early childhood education professionals select high-quality applications, and to present ideas and directions for developing applications suitable for development to application developers. As a result of application content analysis, only data presentation type, simulation type, and game type were found in all the top and bottom groups as for the application type. There was a difference in order. In the case of app purchase cost, the top group in the review score was evenly distributed from the low price to the high price of 100,000 won or more, while the bottom group had few high-priced applications. On the other hand, as a result of application evaluation, a significant difference was found in the entire evaluation score, including all functional elements and all content elements, between the top and bottom groups of the review score. In the case of detailed sub-factors, significant differences were shown in all factors except 'technicality' of functional elements.

Mobile devices with Android OS and iOS have been emerged as mobile computing devices where various software applications are deployed. Furthermore, they are anticipated to be used not only for traditional personal computing but also for enterprise computing. However, such mobile devices have their intrinsic characteristics such as limited resources and flexible network capabilities, which are not revealed in traditional computers. Hence, there is high demand for methods to develop mobile applications with reflecting their intrinsic characteristics. Since those characteristics belong to non-functional requirements, they should be reflected in architecture design while designing mobile applications. To design architecture, the architecture drivers that are architecture non-functional requirements are decided from mobile application characteristics. Conventional architecture design methods do not consider those characteristics so that the methods cannot be straightforwardly applied to mobile applications. In this paper, to efficiently develop mobile applications reflecting those characteristics, we propose a set of architecture patterns and define a guideline to apply those patterns. First, we define the characteristics of mobile applications distinguished and derive architectural drivers from them. Then, we propose architecture patterns in terms of static and dynamic views and define an architectural guideline to apply the patterns to designing architecture for mobile application. And, we perform case studies to verify the applicability of proposed patterns. Finally, we assess the proposed architecture patterns by proving how the patterns can fulfill identified architecture drivers and by comparing our approach with previous works.

The use of mobile devices offers a variety of services to the individuals and companies. On the other hand, security threats and new mobile security threats that exist in IT infrastructure to build the environment for mobile services are present at the same time. Services such as mobile and vaccine management services, such as MDM (Mobile Device Management) has attracted a great deal of interest in order to minimize the threat of security in mobile environment. These solutions can not protect an application that was developed for the mobile service from the threat of vulnerability of mobile application itself. Under these circumstances, in this paper, we proposed mobile application security checklists based on application security review items in order to prevent security accidents that can occur in a mobile service environment. We collected and analyzed Android applications, we performed a total inspection of the applications for verification of the effectiveness of the check items. And we checked that the check items through a survey of experts suitability was verified.

To support asynchronous collaboration among remote users, collaborative applications provide collaboration services and environment through virtual workspaces. In general, collaborative applications support collaboration based on desktop-based personal computers, using the features such as resource sharing or asynchronous communication among users. Unfortunately, since those applications mainly run on personal computers, they do not easily support collaborative works in various places. In this paper, we describe the development of smartphone collaborative application which provides effective collaboration facilities like resource sharing through various types of workspaces or group communication, communicating with a WebDAV-based collaboration server. The developed application provides users with high accessibility through multi-touch/touch-slide based user-interfaces in mobile environment. To support effective communication with a collaboration server, we also present a WebDAV-based collaboration library using a collaboration protocol designed to analyze easily the responses from the collaboration server.
