  • Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effects of utilizing Smartphone Application Peer Support (SAPS) on health behavior and body mass index (BMI) among overweight or obese breast cancer survivors (BCS). Methods: A nonequivalent control group with a non-synchronized design was utilized and 36 participants (experimental group 14, control group 22) were recruited from August 2017 to September 2018. Participants were 40~65 years old, overweight or obese, had completed primary cancer treatment within the 12 months prior to the study, and had not done regular exercise during the last 6 months. The 3-month SAPS consisted of exercise and diet education (once p/2 weeks), peer support (once p/week), and self-monitoring using smartphone applications (5 times p/week). All participants underwent assessments at baseline, right after SAPS, and at 3 months after SAPS. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results: At the completion of SAPS significant differences were found between groups in motivation for exercise (t=-3.24, p=.005), physical activity (t=-4.15, p<.001), total calorie intake (t=3.42, p=.002), calories from fat (t=-3.01, p=.005), intake of vegetables (t=-2.83, p=.008), and BMI (t=5.21, p<.001). Significant differences in BMI (t=4.13, p<.001) remained up to 3 months after SAPS completion. No significant differences was shown between groups in self-efficacy for exercise, either immediately after or 3 months after SAPS. Conclusion: The SAPS has the potential to improve motivation for exercise, health behavior, and BMI of BCS. However, special efforts are required to encourage participants to complete the intervention and maintain long-term effects for future trials.

  • Recently, spread of large amount Smartphones made users to download location-based service applications, which provided by application developers. These location-based service applications are convenient tool for users. Location-based service use technology to find location of user and provide information of user's location. Leakage of information of user's location and expose of privacy life raised new controversy. In this thesis, it will analyze relations of increase of Smartphone market, usage of Location-based service and severity of personal information leakage. Also, it will analyze examples of user's case of damage which caused by leakage personal information and find solutions to reduce damage of personal information leakage. In research, it will find cases of damage that cause by Location-based service. Also it will analyze and research cases of damage and present with graph and chart. In conclusion, to reduce and prevent from damage which caused by leakage personal information, it is important that users and application developers to realize danger of private and personal information leakage. Also, user's personal information must deal with cautiously and application developers have to research and develop the application with powerful security.

  • Software piracy is widespread throughout the world. It has negative effects on the software industry and the intellectual property market. Despite various deterrent policies, the phenomenon has been getting severe. The current study investigated the antecedents of software piracy attitudes and intention. In order to identify factors and their relationship, a research model for illegal piracy behavior was developed and empirically examined through a path analysis using structural equation model. Also, this study employed a multiple group structural equation model to investigate differences in structural weights across PC software user group and smartphone application user group. It was revealed that perceived benefit, habit, social factor, self-efficacy had positive effect on attitude toward software piracy, whereas perceived risk had a decreasing influence on attitude. Relationships between piracy attitudes and intentions were significant as well. Furthermore, the cross validation between two groups showed the path coefficients of habit to attitude and attitude to intention were significantly different. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

  • 스마트폰(smartphone)은 휴대전화에 인터넷 통신과 정보검색 등 컴퓨터 지원 기능을 추가한 지능형 단말기로서 사용자가 원하는 어플리케이션(application)을 설치할 수 있는 것이 특징으로, 현 시대에 있어 하나의 문화가 되었을 정도로 크나큰 이슈가 되고 있고, 어플리케이션 개발 시장도 활발해졌으며, 크게 성장하고 있다는 점이다. 대중교통정보 어플리케이션의 사용 빈도가 높은 편이긴 하나, 유동인구 빈도수가 높은 수도권과 광역시 지역 중심으로 제공되는 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 GPS(Global Positioning System) 기능이 활성화 되지 않은 지방지역 실정을 고려하여 안드로이드 플랫폼(android platform)을 이용한 스마트폰 기반 스쿨버스 어플리케이션 설계와 구현을 제안하려 한다.

  • In this paper, we propose the smart belt system for preventing loss of items using Beacon. The proposed system monitors the distances of the registered items via the belt that is always worn. The belt determines the loss of the items by measuring the relative distance via RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value of the signals received from the BLE (Bluetoothl Low Energy) sensor, which is attached on the items such as bags and wallets. If the registered item is determined to be lost, the belt rings to remind the user of the loss. The missing status could be known to users through the smartphone application connected to the belt. The smartphone application communicates with the belt using Beacon, and provides users with a quick and easy way to check the status of their items.

  • 본 연구에서는 스마트폰을 이용하여 사용자의 활동상태를 추정할 수 있는 안드로이드 기반의 어플리케이션을 구현하였다. 이는 추가적인 센서를 사용하지 않고 항시 휴대하는 스마트폰을 이용함으로써 착용형의 시스템과 비교하여 사용자의 불편함을 최소화하여 활동상태를 추정할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 스마트폰 내부에 내장된 3축가속도센서 각 축의 변화량을 추출하였으며, 각 축에 대한 변화량과 활동량이 비례하여 나타나는 것을 이용하여, 변화량을 크기로 변환하는 SVM(Single Vector Magnitude)을 계산하였다. 또한 SVM의 절대값을 시간에 적분한 ISVM(Integral Single Vector Magnitude)을 통해 활동량을 정량화 하였으며, 천천히 걷기와 빠르게 걷기, 뛰기, 서있기로 이루어진 실험을 통해 활통상태 분류를 하였다. 또한 그 결과를 실시간으로 모니터링하기 위한 스마트폰 어플리케이션을 구현함으로써 추가적인 설비 없이 활동상태를 추정하였다.

  • As the use of smartphones has rapidly increased due to the development of digital technology, the expansion of smartphones, and the COVID-19 incident, dependence on smartphones and the Internet is emerging as a serious social problem. As one of the solutions to the smartphone overdependence problem, the government and companies are releasing smartphone overdependence prevention applications. However, research on the effectiveness of smartphone overdependence prevention applications is insufficient. Therefore, this study selects 25 applications serviced in Korea as analysis targets and evaluates smartphone overdependence prevention applications in terms of function and service using the FGI survey method to identify problems and propose improvements. In the function evaluation, the functions of blocking illegal/harmful apps/websites, limiting smartphone usage time, and monitoring smartphone usage status are provided in most applications, so satisfaction scores are also highly evaluated. However, functions such as location check, smombie prevention, and body camphishing prevention served by some applications are evaluated low due to poor performance and poor accuracy. Classified by service provider, government-providing applications need to accurately perform functions and improve convenience of use. Mobile-Carrier-providing applications need to improve connectivity with other carriers and compatibility with other smart devices like smartphone, tablet, etc. Other private enterprise-providing applications need to open AS channels such as customer service centre and chatbot to improve service.
