  • Mobile wallets have been in continuous demand and developed over the past few years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several studies have examined user intentions and perspectives. This study develops a conceptual model combining behavioral factors with the technology acceptance model (TAM). The goal is to identify key factors that influence user's intention to adopt mobile payments. This study uses the TAM and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) models with additional factors. The additional factors are security, trust, facilitating conditions, and lifestyle compatibility. The study analyzes the results of a survey of 394 Saudi citizens conducted via an online survey. The results indicate that user attitudes and intentions are positively influenced by all of the factors. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, lifestyle compatibility, and facilitating conditions are direct predictors of user behavior in accepting mobile wallet payments. This study provides an empirical contribution to the literature on mobile payment acceptance on the effect of perceived usefulness and lifestyle compatibility. The results demonstrate that about 26% of the respondents started using mobile wallet services because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Space based constellation network is a kind of ad hoc network in which users are self-organized without center node. In space based constellation network, users are allowed to enter or leave the network at any given time. Thus, the number of active users is an unknown and time-varying parameter, and the performance of the network depends on how accurately this parameter is estimated. The so-called problem of active user identification, which consists of determining the number and identities of users transmitting in space based constellation network is discussed and a novel active user identification method is proposed in this paper. Active user identification code generated by transmitter address code and receiver address code is used to spread spectrum. Subspace-based method is used to process received signal and judgment model is established to identify active users according to the processing results. The proposed method is simulated under AWGN channel, Rician channel and Rayleigh channel respectively. Numerical results indicate that the proposed method obtains at least 1.16dB Eb/N0 gains compared with reference methods when miss alarm rate reaches 10-3.

  • Purpose - Social media platforms have presented individuals with an opportunity to create and maintain their social relationship through the use of social media services. However, such social relationship has a negative influence on users' interest in social media. Design/methodology - Using structural equation modeling, this study seeks to examines the effects of different social media conflicts (individual and social conflicts) on users' psychological internal state, especially user apathetic behavior Findings - The findings confirm that, among social media conflicts, social-related conflict, especially social interaction overload has a negative effect on cognitive resonance, while individual conflict has the highest effect on cognitive dissonance. Also, cognitive dissonance has a much greater effect than cognitive resonance on user resistance, this means that users' negative perception of social media has a greater influence on their resistance. Lastly, user's resistance was found to have a positive influence on user's apathetic behavior. Originality/value - In other to capture social media Apathetic behavior, this study focus on social media conflict perspective, which includes social-related conflict and individual conflict, which are found to influence users' internal states towards social media and further induce social media behavior. This study is unique because it is among the first to explore social media apathetic behavior by focusing on the influence of both external social media conflict and internal state. Also, this study proposed that social related conflict has a higher negative influence on WeChat user than individual related conflict.

  • One of the objectives and aspirations of scientists and engineers ever since the development of computers has been to interact naturally with machines. Hence features of artificial intelligence (AI) like natural language processing and natural language generation were developed. The field of AI that is thought to be expanding the fastest is interactive conversational systems. Numerous businesses have created various Virtual Personal Assistants (VPAs) using these technologies, including Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, and Google Assistant, among others. Even though many chatbots have been introduced through the years to diagnose or treat psychological disorders, we are yet to have a user-friendly chatbot available. A smart generative cognitive behavioral therapy with spoken dialogue systems support was then developed using a model Persona Perception (P2) bot with Generative Pre-trained Transformer-2 (GPT-2). The model was then implemented using modern technologies in VPAs like voice recognition, Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and text-to-speech. This system is a magnificent device to help with voice-based systems because it can have therapeutic discussions with the users utilizing text and vocal interactive user experience.

  • 이 연구는 편하게 주식 정보를 알 수 있는 주식 정보 애플리케이션에 대해 금융 전문가들의 사용자 경험은 어떤지 또한, 필요한 제안이 무엇인지 알아보았다. 연구방법은 금융 기관에서 3년 이상 재직한 금융 전문가 중 '카카오증권'과 '증권통'이라는 국내 최다 사용 증권 애플리케이션을 최소 6개월 이상 사용한 전문가 8명을 선별해 Stephen P. Anderson이 제안한 Creating Pleasurable Interface의 6단계 피라미드 구조의 요소들로 구성한 설문으로 심층 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 그 결과 카카오증권의 사용자 경험을 다소 높게 평가하였지만, 주식 정보를 구하는 애플리케이션인 만큼 유쾌성과 의미성에서 두 애플리케이션 모두 낮은 점수로 평가되었고, 앞으로 더욱 뛰어난 기능과 정확한 정보를 제공하는 것을 제안했다. 사용자들의 관심 주식을 파악한 콘텐츠 제공과 더욱 편리한 User Interface도 제안하였다. 이 연구를 바탕으로 더욱 다양한 온 오프라인 주식 정보 서비스의 사용자 경험을 연구하고, 이를 토대로 더 나은 사용자 경험을 제공하는 서비스 개발에 참고가 되길 기대한다.

  • The purposes of the study is to evaluate the discrepancy between user's expectation and satisfaction degree in the service of uTradeHub. In this regard, this study infers general solutions in order to induce the intersection area using IPA technique. Then this paper will present directions to improve the service of uTradeHub. In terms of methodology, this article disclosed that IPA model approach is greatly useful to evaluate user's attribute. First, variables like the link of different works(f1), trust of system(f4), information connection(f7) are located on the first quadrant. This means that importance and satisfaction are all high variables for user. So, this is very important variables that need continuous administration in order to maintain present state. Second, variables such as the speed of information acquisition(f2), improvement of use(f3), stability of system(f5) are located on the second quadrant. This means that user's importance is high but user's satisfaction is low. Therefore, this area needs an active improvement strategy and quick maintenance for e-Trade application. Third, variables like the appropriateness of information usage fees(f8), easy subscription(f9), customer support service(f10) are located on the third quadrant. Because these variables are all low for user's importance and satisfaction, we have to arrange strong and radical remedy for e-Trade service. Finally, variables like information offer(f6) are located on the fourth quadrant. This means that user's satisfaction is high but user's importance is low. The research result suggests that e-Trade service development would be re-organised as much as user feels the importance of process innovation.

  • GSM(Global System for Mobile communications)은 전 세계에서 가장 대표적인 이동통신 표준으로서, 모바일 사용자들에게 이동성과 함께 편리성을 제공한다. 그러나 GSM 시스템은 사용자인증과정 중 MS(Mobile Station)의 IMSI(International Mobile Subscriber Identity)값이 노출되어 사용자를 정상적으로 인증할 수 없는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본고에서는 이러한 인증문제를 해결하기 위해 기존의 GSM 사용자인증 프로토콜에 기본을 둔 변형 메커니즘으로서, IMSI 값을 HLR(Home Location Register)로부터 암호화하여 전송함으로써 IMSI값의 노출을 막고, HLR에 의해 검증된 네트워크 개체만이 IMSI값을 사용하도록 하여 안전한 사용자인증을 제공한다. 또한 제안 메커니즘에서는 임시 아이디를 이용하여 사용자의 익명성을 제공할 뿐만 아니라, 기존의 GSM 사용자인증 프로토콜의 새로운 VLR과 이전의 VLR 간의 구조를 변경하지 않고 단계를 축소하여 빠른 사용자인증을 제공한다.

  • In this paper, an contemplate the direction for Usable Security in IT security and User Experience. To evaluate how the user interface is convenient to use, we examine the components such as the property, learnable property, memory simplicity, faults and satisfaction level. By considering for the security, we should bring positive effects on the user experience. By emphasizing usability and security at the same time, we should increase the satisfaction level of the user experience and then produce the valuable experience through participation, use and observation. The positive user experience is the important task for the software engineering, business administration and others., and this will result satisfaction of the users, brand trust, and success in the market. On the other hand, for the negative user experience, the users cannot achieve their desired goal and therefore, are unsatisfied due to emotional, rational and economic inconvenience. Due to this, we should try to maintain a certain level of usability and security of the system in IT security and User Experience.
