This study first tries to investigate factors that determine the quality of mobile game contents. Based on the information and information system-related studies, our research proposes to show the relationships among the quality of mobile game contents, the level of perceived easy of use and the perceived usefulness. Mobile game contents service providers can get insight on factors that should be considered to improve the quality of contents services. Also, the research findings provide a clue on the success of mobile game service.

This study focuses on modeling mobile 3D game engine and suggesting modified skinned-mesh schema based on JSR-184 in order to improve the performance in terms of memory consumption and time complexity. Most of the 3D games have used OpenGL-ES low-level APls, which may limit portability and fast developing time. Hence, the 3D mobile game engine providing high-level APls which works on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) phones on J2ME, is proposed here in order to optimize the performance for Java environment abiding JSR-184 standard. To prove performance enhancement, skinned-mesh schema on JSR-184 engine is modified and tested. The experimental results are shown.

The purpose of this study is to design and develop a mobile game using J2ME, which is currently the most popular choice for game development to understand the process of mobile game development and to develop methods that address weaknesses of J2ME. The development was done with the Eclipse IDE(Integrated Development Environment) tool to simplify mobile game development by removing the need for complex commands and installation processes which are intrinsic to the DOS command Batch file arid J2ME Wireless Toolkit when used for the implementation of java mobile games. Literature was also reviewed on mobile game environments, the structures of J2ME Platform, and past research on mobile games, to investigate which parts of J2ME are important to the characteristics of mobile game development and how to implement these important parts when developing.

A large part of the wireless Internet contents which the young people access through their mobile phones is mobile games. However, mobile games currently available in the market are mostly simple entertainment packages, and there are hardly any educational game contents. This research divided the middle school computer education curriculum into five parts-common PC knowledge, operating systems, word processor, Internet, and multimedia-and designed and implemented a crossword puzzles mobile game. The mobile game designed in this research was given an emphasis to allow access of school lesson contents anywhere and anytime through actual mobile telecommunication networks, so that the students may experience less barrier to more fun and entertaining educational contents. The developed educational mobile game was applied on 2nd year middle school students. The mobile game had positive educational effects.

As expectations about success of smart phones that install Android, an open mobile platform which was developed by Google, are increasing, the development of applications based on the Android has attracted a lot of interest. Especially, game applications have been well received by users. In this paper, we develop an application based on the Android for curling which was adopted as a competitive sport in the Winter Olympic Games. Curling is a sport game played by two teams. The rules of the game are simple, but it is an intelligent one that requires various strategies for victory. In this paper, the curling game based on the Android provides functions, such as pitching, sweeping, collision, and foul handling, that are required in real curling game by using technologies, such as touch screen or accelerometer sensor.

The game engine has executed an application after making a mobile 3D game engine which is based on mobile 3D standard graphic API using openGL-ES so far. But, We could not do it satisfactorily that contents compatibility of various types as a various low-level's function is supported. At this point, This study introduce a mobile 3D game engine which is based on mobile 3D standard graphic API using JSR-184 that supporting a high-level's API more than openGL-ES and optimizing to Java environment on J2ME in the center of GSM phone. Also, We shows that the proposed skinned-mesh scheme for enhancing the process speed of a 3D object on JSR-184 engine. The experimental results are shown.

Purpose - This study examines the changes in the mobile MMORPG market in recent years and the factors affecting the performance of mobile games through flow experience according to the characteristics of game content. Research design, data, and methodology - This study focuses on the fact that the cause of game use behavior changes is the flow experience which influences the duration of mobile game continuation. The flow experience and the influencing factors are divided into the relationship between first, second-leading factors, and lagged factors. Results - The user's sense of challenge, skillfulness, concentration, and reality influenced the flow experience as a leading factor influencing the performance of MMORPG games. On the other hand, fun and preference were found to be the outcomes of the flow experience. This is because the game content is experienced not through passive enjoyment but by intentionally enjoying the game content. The flow experience has a positive effect on the intention of continuous use as in the previous study. Conclusions - This study found that the flow experience of game users is necessary for continuous use by organizing relationships of flow experience in mobile MMORPG users' gaming behavior.

Recently, an interest in mobile games is increasing according to the extension of the high speed network infra and the development of mobile devices. In the paper, we propose a mobile Stouku game which trains a brain. The proposed game is user-oriented play style that the game users can raise their characters theirselves. It gives users a sense of achievement and can also help improve intelligence by becoming familiar with a numeral. The game raises an awareness and immersion by adding various events and lowering the degree of difficulty more than previews games. In the paper, we demonstrate the proposed Sudoku game in the mobile device and present the result.

In the area of mobile game, the job of data analysis is very important. As the mobile game market is being expanded, the characteristics of the market have been so much changed, that the contents updating and marketing strategy should be built on thorough understanding and analysis result of the gamers' needs and their play pattern. Thus the importance of the mobile game management system can not be overemphasized. However, in practice, most of the mobile game companies are small scale, and they have intrinsic problem to provide successful game service to user with a dedicated operating team. To overcome these problems, this paper suggests an efficient mobile game management system based on our already developed mobile game. And the effectiveness of our system is illustrated by our case examples such as prompt response to user question or refund request. Our proposed system also played an important role to plan additional contents update, providing scientific data analysis result on user's play pattern and purchase trend.
