The present study investigates a standardized framework for support system of ship design engineering. The purpose of this research is to improve the efficiency of information gathering and its use in tasks of the ship design engineering support system. Due to their variety and complexity, the existing engineering methods tend to waste time in searching for the standardized method and knowledge or to cause errors on tasks. Generally, these kinds of system have serious problems. The most serious one among them is that the existing system consists of both useful and useless data. This finally leads engineers to a failure in finding out useful information from the system. We have designed a standardized framework, which enables users to properly recompose the menu form depending on the task process, simplifies the methods at several process levels, and provides a more intuitive method in user interface environment in order to resolve the existing problems, minimize the system-operating costs, and improve the efficiency of engineering tasks.

As personal computers have been recently improved in performance, the multi tasking of running several applications at the same time has been generalized. Since only one task space is provided for performing such tasks on Windows operating system, a number of computer users feel inconvenient. In this paper, we propose a 3D Virtual Desktop System which can show a process of switching task spaces in 3D motion using DirectX. The proposed system can provide a computer user with more task spaces and the intuitive UI(User Interlace) such as Compiz of Linux.

This study investigates the merits of incorporating augmented reality in mobile games and proposes a mobile game application that combines augmented reality technology with gaming. The proposed study postulates that augmented reality technology can be employed for developing games on smartphones. The proposed application involves the implementation of a 3D virtual object in the real world by incorporating a target image. The proposed application also employs an intuitive interface with simplified manipulation based on touch, and allows players to collect and combine items for acquiring new items, thus making it elementary to pass the game stages. Furthermore, a ranking system has been introduced in the proposed application for enhancing the amusement factor of the game. The novelty of the proposed application lies in the fact that the virtual button function has been employed for combining physical and virtual objects while playing the game, without incorporating location-based services.

The present study aims to design an application for anger control training of individuals and test its practical usability with the goal of encouraging preventive training in daily life. This study also investigates, through usability evaluation, whether users can use the application to carry out the actual anger management training program, whether it is useful and convenient, and whether it produces adequate learning effects. In order to conduct usability evaluation, a usability evaluation scale comprised of six factors-utility, reuse intention, learning, error, and reflectivity-was derived, and survey items tailored to each factor were produced. The association between usability evaluation elements, user demographic parameters, mobile usage behavior, and state anger was also examined. The result demonstrated that additional menus and features are necessary to increase the usability of the application for anger management. The result also revealed that it is vital to build an intuitive application interface that users unfamiliar with mobile app functionality can easily navigate, as well as to add entertaining components in the content, as users may be somewhat bored. On the basis of the findings, ideas of modifying and creating anger management training programs were discussed.

Annotation is used for inscribing personal opinion, explanation, and summary. Various methods for processing annotation efficiently in digital document environments are being studied. However, previous studies placed much emphasis on function of annotation, so either they did not support Intuitive paper-based input interface or the systems that support it still have low reusability problems, because relation between annotation and original document are not explicit. Thus, in our study, we define context-based annotation modeling for digital document environments, and suggest annotation interface based on the modeling. To design annotation model, we define annotation types, context information of document, and relationship between annotation and original document. Also, a system based on the modeling is implemented to support pen-based annotation and annotation DTD. As a result, unlike previous studies, it is possible to explicitly define context-based annotation in pen-based input environments. We present various functions using the modeling and various possibilities of application.

Graphical user interfaces (GUI) in modern software deliver information visually, and a well-designed interface can provide information to the use in an organized and intuitive manner while poorly-designed interfaces can cause visual inconvenience and confusion. In order to effectively deliver information to the user, visual attention should be placed on a prominent location in the image. This paper introduces a method based on a human visual system (HVS) that can improve Metro-style GUIs by reducing a user's workload to visually find information. Our method is designed with spatial mapping and color mapping for buttons in the Metro-style GUI. Also we define a metric for Metro-style GUI effectiveness, including an optimization algorithm. The results show that our method improves the performance of visual search tasks in a Metro-style GUI.

A Serious Game helps the learners to recognize the problems effectively, grasp and classify important information needed to solve the problems and convey the contents of what they have learned. Owing not only to this game-like fun but also to the educational effect, The Serious Game can be usefully applied to education and training in the areas of scientific technology and industrial technology. This study proposes the Serious Game that users can apply to biotechnology by using intuitive multi-modal interfaces. In this study, a stereoscopic monitor is used to make three dimensional molecular structures, and multi-modal interface is used to efficiently control. Based on a such system, this study easily solved the docking simulation function, which is one of the important experiments, by applying these game factors. For this, we suggested the level-up concept as a game factor that depends on numbers of objects and users. The proposed system was evaluated in performance comparison in result time of a new drug design process on AIDS virus with previous approach.
