The purpose of this study was to analyze user reviews of running applications using text mining. This study used user reviews of Nike Run Club and Runkeeper in the Google Play Store using the selenium package of python3 as the analysis data, and separated the morphemes by leaving only Korean nouns through the OKT analyzer. After morpheme separation, we created a rankNL dictionary to remove stopwords. To analyze the data, we used TF, TF-IDF and LDA topic modeling in text mining. The results of this study are as follows. First, the keywords 'record', 'app', and 'workout' were identified as the top keywords in the user reviews of Nike Run Club and Runkeeper applications, and there were differences in the rankings of TF and TF-IDF. Second, the LDA topic modeling of Nike Run Club identified the topics of 'basic items', 'additional features', 'errors', and 'location-based data', and the topics of Runkeeper identified the topics of 'errors', 'voice function', 'running data', 'benefits', and 'motivation'. Based on the results, it is recommended that errors and improvements should be made to contribute to the competitiveness of the application.

A non-interactive key exchange protocol provides an efficiency of overall system by eliminating additional communication. However, traditional non-interactive key exchange protocols without updating a private key fail to provide forward secrecy, since there is no usage of ephemeral key for randomness of session key. In 2012, Sang et al. proposed a certificateless non-interactive key exchange(CL-NIKE) protocol, but they do not prove the security of the protocol and it does not provide forward secrecy. In this paper, we propose a new CL-NIKE protocol and it's security model. Then we prove the proposed protocol is secure under the security model based on DBDH(Decision Bilinear Diffie-Hellman) assumption. Moreover, we propose a CL-NIKE protocol with forward secrecy which updates user's private key by using multilinear map and prove it's security.

In digital marketing, means of public relations and marketing of enterprises are changing into marketing techniques of predictive analytics. A significant study can be carried out by an analysis of 'the patterns of customers' uses' using big data on major portal sites and SNSs and their correlation with related keywords. This study analyzes the origins of mythological characters in major brands such as Nike, Hermes, Versace, Canon and Starbucks. Also, it extracts related keywords and relevance using big data on portal sites and SNS and their correlation. Nike marketing that reminds people of 'the goddess of victory, Nike' formed a good combination of the brand with relevance. Most of them are based on Greek mythology and have rich materials for storytelling and artistic values in common.

This works studied to compare gas analyzer with accelerometer and the estimation of energy expenditure based on different attaching position of tri-axial accelerometer such as waist and top of the foot Based on the fact that oxygen intake increases more radically linearly during walking more than 8.0km/hr. 9 male subjects performed walking and running on the treadmill with speed of $1.5{\sim}8.5km$/hr and $4.5{\sim}13.0km$/hr, respectively. Commercially available Nike + iPod Sports kit was used to compare energy expenditure with sensor module attached to their foot. Actual energy expenditure was determined by a continuous direct gas analyzer and two multiple regression equations of walking and running mode for different attaching position were developed. Results showed that estimation accuracy of energy expenditure using waist mounted accelerometer was higher than that of the top of the foot and Nike + iPod Sports kit. Results of energy expenditure based on waist and top of the foot showed that the crossover state of energy expenditure occurred at 7.5km/hr. But Nike + iPod Sports kit could not find intersection of energy expenditure in all nine subjects. Therefore the sensor module attached to the waist and separate multi regression equation by walking and running mode was the best to estimate more accurate prediction.
