Recently, food delivery apps are seeing rapid growth into a market worth 1 trillion won under a simple but unique business model of connecting nearby restaurants with consumers via smartphone. Though basic similarities with social commerce exists in aspects such as mail-order sales intermediaries, startups, types of services and market competition structure, food delivery apps resemble social commerce in many ways in that they use excessive marketing to secure market dominance, causing a spike in consumer complaints. If the excessive marketing and increase in customer complaints are not rectified, the food delivery app could also see rapid decline as it gradually grows distant from consumers, just like social commerce. Accordingly, this study will identify the factors consumers recognize as important for continuous use vis-a-vis social commerce and food delivery apps to perform an empirical analysis on what areas need improvement. After deriving the four upper factors of product, information system and service along with eight sub-factors by referring to existing literature, the areas with opportunity for improvement were derived through satisfaction level and relative importance evaluation. The results of this study present a strategic direction for maintaining customers of social commerce and food delivery apps.

With the increase in the number of smart phone users, smart phones themselves are seeing progress in terms of available functions. Many applications, too, are being developed to increase convenience in daily life. This study issued a list of information on films that the user wishes to see, by using an XML parser to call news articles related to the films in question to the news site RSS. The Android App server was built using Ubuntu and the latest film information was provided through the board that was built. The menu was consisted in a manner so that when the information interested was clicked on, a more detailed set of information became available.

The increased use of smartphones has made it easier to plan travel. Especially for people travelling in Europe, it is common to move between cities by train, and reserving passes with a mobile app offers many advantages. The Czech Republic, which is a familiar destination for Koreans, is called the "heart of Europe" and it is in central Europe, so it is inevitable to use the railway when travelling. This study has been compared with the structural characteristics of the railway reservation service operated by the Czech and Korean railways. In general, when evaluating the usability of an app, we often use a method that allows a group of users or experts to spot problems. However, this study suggests an analytical method to obtain more reliable and objective results. Also, the analysis of the structural characteristics has an advantage that the problem can be predicted at the prototype stage. This, of course, comes with time and financial benefits. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the development of applications that are more convenient to use and efficiency of development.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the daily living area of the elderly using the vast amount of travel route data collected through smart phones. In order to analyze the utilization status of the elderly into the visiting area and the living area, the subway station influence area was typed based on the number and ratio of the elderly visiting and the elderly living there. The characteristics of the elderly visiting area and the living area of the subway station area were derived by analyzing the walking route data for the three types of subway station influence areas where the elderly visit and live. First, we derive the range of visiting area and living area of the elderly near the subway station. Second, we derive the characteristic of moving distance which causes the linked walking of the elderly. Third, destination distribution and facility utilization are influenced by the subject of use, movement pattern, and facility awareness.

As modern people's interest in exercise and health increases, the demand for exercise-related information and devices is increasing, and exercising in the wrong posture can lead to body imbalance and injury. Therefore, in this study, the purpose of this study is to correct the posture for health promotion and injury prevention through the correct exercise posture of users. It was developed using Arduino Uno R3, a pressure sensor, and an acceleration sensor as the main memory device of the system. The pressure sensor was used to determine the squat posture, and the acceleration sensor was used to determine three types of gait: normal step, nasolabial step, and saddle step. Data is transmitted to a smartphone through a Bluetooth module and displayed on an app to guide the user in the correct exercise posture. The gait was determined based on the 20˚ angle at which the foot was opened, and the correct squat posture was compared with the ratio of the pressure sensor values of the forefoot and hindfoot based on the data of the skilled person. Therefore, based on an experiment with about 90% accuracy when determining gait and 95% accuracy based on a 7:3 ratio of pressure sensor values in squat posture, a system was established to guide users to exercise in the correct posture by checking in real time through a smartphone application and correcting exercise in the wrong posture.

Recently, market of mobile spatial information service is increasing along with enlargement of geo-spatial information utilization area and spread of smartphone. In particular, smartphone users look forward to utilizing spatial information service more easily and conveniently. Korea has the potential for spatial information technology development, but does not have enough governmental support to develop various spatial information service in mobile network environment. Hence, it is need to make governmental support plans for utilizing mobile services and promoting the related industry base on mobile spatial information. In this paper, we propose governmental action plans for utilizing mobile services and promoting the related industry by surveying mobile application/web services and analyzing demands of mobile spatial information experts.

One of problems in car navigation systems is that a number of inputs are required for a directions search. This may even causes a car accident due to poor concentration while driving. In order to solve the issue we design and implement a safe and easy-to-use car navigation system which allows a driver to look up directions with just a single tap. Our smartphone app creates an NFC tag by deriving location information from a text, voice, GPS, and so on. The driver can then get the directions by just tapping a phone or card with the Tag on the navigation system. We show the feasibility and effectiveness of our system by comparing our implementation with the existing car navigation systems.

Communication through smartphones is creating a new paradigm of mobile communication beyond the restrictions of mobility and space. The mobile instant messengers of the smartphone, which began on the desktop environment, are providing various communication features, including multimedia contents, texts, and voice. Kindergartens and nurseries are using Websites, phones, SMS, printed materials, handwritten notifications, etc. to communicate with the parents. IsPlus was developed to facilitate the communication between the parents and the teachers, including exchanges of pictures and videos, chatting, and attendance management using smartphones. This is meaningful in that it is an early smartphone mobile messenger for educational institutions for infants and preschoolers. This study presented a new approach to the development of a mobile messenger for a specific group of users by analyzing the user environment, communication types, application planning process and interface design development using storytelling.
