This paper confirms the risk of using smartphone through the analysis of collected usage pattern and proposes the smartphone intervention system in risk situations. In order to check the risk of smartphone usage, we made information collecting application and collected smartphone usage pattern from 11 experiment participants for two months. By analyzing smartphone usage pattern, we confirmed that about 12% of smartphone usage is being used in driving, walking, and on the street. In addition, we analyzed the response rate of smartphone notification in risk situations and confirmed that user responds the smartphone notifications in real-time even in risk situations. Therefore, it is required to present a system that intervenes the use of smartphone in order to protect smartphone users in risk situations. In this paper, we classify risk situations of using smartphone. Also, the proposed smartphone intervention system is designed to periodically detect risk situations. In risk situations, smartphone function can be restricted according to user setting of smartphone. And smartphone can be used normally when safe situation is restored.

Methods : Participants of this study were 168 (70 male/90 female) students majoring occupational therapy. Measurements in this study were a questionnaire about general information of subject, smartphone addiction scale, and adult/adolescent sensory profile. Data collection period was from November 2017 to March 2018. Methods for the data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-test and Pearson correlation of SPSS 22.0. Results : In term of the purpose of using smartphone, majority response was communication and gaming ranked in next. There were difference between male and female in the total smartphone addition, cyberspace-oriented relationship, withdrawal and tolerance. The result showed that all sensory processing are related with total smartphone addition (r = .236 ~ .603) for man. And for women, total smartphone addition is little related with the taste/smell processing (r= .290), visual processing (r= .324), touch processing (r= .214), low registration (r= .214), sensory sensitivity (r= .243), and sensory avoiding (r= .217).

Purpose : This study was to compare and analyze major factors related to smartphone addiction according to the gender of health-related college students. Methods : 720 people who voluntarily participated and agreed to fill out the questionnaire were randomly sampled. Smartphone addiction was measured using the Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version (SAS-SV), sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), anxiety symptoms were measured using the self-assessment anxiety scale (SAS), and depression symptoms were measured using the self-assessment depression scale (SDS). In addition, the age of each individual and the main function of smartphone use were also investigated. Results : The prevalence of smartphone addiction was higher among female students than male students (p<.05), while male students mainly played games and female students mainly used multimedia (video/music) viewing and social networking services (p<.05). In addition, male students showed a high association with smartphone addiction in the group where games were the main function of smartphone use, the group with low sleep quality, and the group with anxiety symptoms (p<.05), but for female students, multimedia (video/music) Or, the group in which social networking service is the main function of smartphone use, the group with low sleep quality, and the group with symptoms of anxiety and depression showed a high correlation with smartphone addiction (p<.05). Conclusion : It is expected that the results of this study will be used as basic data for providing customized solutions considering the characteristics of smartphone addicts.

The Korean Smartphone industry has advanced rapidly. There seems to have a considerable change in Korea smartphone industry as the security policy related to wireless devices is changed from Whitelist Policy to Blacklist Policy. In regard to such a change, this paper analyzes the smartphone market in terms of the Business Ecosystem Model suggested by Moore. This study examines how Korean Smartphone Ecosystem has been formed and how any shifts in policy will have an effect on the ecosystem. In line with this policy shift, this study also suggests the ways how these ecosystem members should establish a strategy for the continuous development of this smartphone ecosystem. Furthermore, this study presents cooperation directions among ecosystem members based on the organic connections in the ecosystem as well as each individual's corresponding measures. In addition, based on this analysis, this study puts forward Korean smartphone ecosystem's current problems, improvement, and its future.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of academic stress and academic burnout on smartphone addiction in junior high school students. A survey was conducted using a convenient sample drawn from 306 students at six junior high schools in Seoul. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 program. The results show that 21.6% of students were at risk of smartphone addiction. The high risk of smartphone addiction group used smartphone longer during weekdays and weekends. In addition, the high level of academic stress and academic burnout groups showed higher smartphone addiction scores compared to the lower level of academic stress and academic burnout groups. Smartphone addiction was positively correlated with academic stress and academic burnout. Furthermore, the results show that academic achievement and attending class, academic stress and disengagement, and academic burnout affected smartphone addiction. Therefore, to prevent smartphone addiction in adolescents, academic stress should be reduced in adolescents as well as develop educational programs to help students release or control their academic stress.

This study investigates the relationships between smartphone addiction, stress and resilience in university students. A total of 241 students attending a four-year university in South Jeolla Province participated in this research. Data was collected from July 6 until August 31, 2017. The results of this study showed a positive correlation between smartphone addiction and stress (r=.37, p<.001), as well as a negative correlation between smartphone addiction and resilience (r=-.32, p<.001) and a negative correlation between smartphone addiction and the ability of interpersonal relations (r=.-21, p=.001). The variables for smartphone addiction where "academic problems" (${\beta}=.15$, p=.047) and "the ability of interpersonal relations" (${\beta}=-.21$, p=.007), with a coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of 22.1%. Therefore, there is a need to develop a systematic approach to prevent smartphone addiction in university students.

Purpose: This study was conducted to find out the mediated effects of smartphone overindulgence in the relationship between attention and spinal health of adolescents and to find out how cognitive strength moderates these relationships. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: All subjects measured attention, cognition strength, spinal angle, and smartphone overindulgence by measuring the ratio of SMR and mid-beta power to the power of the brain wave, amplitude variation of Cognitive Gamma-Peak, forward slope angle of the cervical spine, and the scale of diagnosis of smartphone addiction. Results: As a result, it shows a significant correlation between Attention, spinal angle, cognitive strength, and smartphone overindulgence(p<.05). In addition, attention was significantly mediated on the spinal angle through smartphone overindulgence(p<.001), and cognitive strength was significantly mediated in relation to smartphone overindulgence and spinal angle(p<.05). Conclusion: This result indicates that the mediation effect of overindulgence of a Smartphone is mediated according to its cognitive strength in relation to its effect of attention on the spine angle.
