The User Interface (UI) in the company is more important than ever. But the application of UI for the industry use is restricted by various constraints such as delivery, technical limitation, etc. User Interface designers in the company have thought how to set up the UI organization, how to define identity and goal, how to communicate with other teams, what is the best UI process, and many other issues. In this paper, the author discuss the practical issues arisen when User Interface organization is formed and managed based on the mobile phone manufacture's perspective. The pros and cons of location of UI organization, advanced UI organization, UI member formation, UI role, UI output, UI evaluation, and understanding of UI in the society and company are discussed. This discussion will help UI designers in industry to set up and manage UI organization.

The importance of User Interface (UI) in mobile phone has increased as the complexity of use increases due to the new technology adoption. The complexity and load for user interface development has increased accordingly. This paper discusses how to make a structured UI development process based on the mobile phone UI development case. After the review of UI development process and issues arising during the development, four levels of user interface guidelines are proposed such as macro rules, action templates, application rules and interaction cases. The importance of dealing various interaction case is emphasized which is not referred in the present industry UI guidelines. Most of research related to UI development focus on the target product rather than how to make good UI process. Based on the good UI process, good UI of the product can be realized. This proposed process based on UI guidelines will help to step up the UI development of mobile phone industry. Also, this process can be applied to different products or services.

Macro interface is primarily focused at the organization, while micro interface is primarily focused at the products or services. UI(User Interface) or UX(User Experience) organizations in Korea are institutionalized from 2000 years. Since most of the UI organizations are not institutionalized with the strategic plan, structures of them aren't optimized efficiency. The structure of the organization is conceptualized as having three core dimensions: complexity, formalization, and centralization. The status of the UI organizations in Korea is reviewed with these dimensions. This study issued the key success factors for institutionalization for UI team. Organizational maturity is considered in 5 levels based on a model by CMMI. The UI strategy has to be based the maturity level of the organization.

Many XML-compliant UIDLs(User Interface Description Languages) have been developed to specify user interfaces. Although previous UIDLs are helpful to describe user interfaces of web and desktop applications, they are not available of developing UI of mobile applications. In this paper, in order to effectively specify user interfaces of MIDlet which is application model on J2ME(Java Platform, Micro Edition), we propose MIML(Midlet Interface Markup Language) and present transformation rules to generate source codes from MIML. Further, we enhance the usability of MIML through J2MERenderer which is a tool using presented rules. The proposed method can specify user interfaces of mobile applications and allow developers to keep productivity and consistency in development phase.

오늘날 기술 경쟁이 심화되면서 업체간 기술 격차는 큰 차이를 보이지 않고 있다. 그래서 각 기업들은 자사 제품의 경쟁력 확보를 위해 다양한 분야를 연구하게 되었고, 그 결과 소비자들에게 높은 기술력을 제공하는 것보다는 새로운 경험을 제공하는 것에 대한 중요성이 점점 부각되어 가고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 PC 에서 웹 서비스(Web-Service)를 사용하는 사용자의 경험을 IPTV 에서도 경험할 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였고, 그 중 사용자들이 좀더 편리하고 쉽게 웹을 경험할 수 있는 Widget UI를 제안한다. 우리가 제안하는 IPTV 에서 웹 서비스를 제공하는 Widget UI 는 서로 독립적인 Widget 서비스들로 구성되어 있으며, Widget 서비스의 개수와 배치는 사용자에 따라 다르게 제공된다. 즉, 우리는 IPTV 를 위한 사용자 맞춤형 웹 서비스 제공 Widget 사용자 인터페이스를 제안한다. 또한 각 Widget 서비스의 정보 검색은 리모컨의 4 방향 키를 사용하도록 제공함으로써 사용자에게 사용의 편리성을 증대시키고 학습 피로를 감소시킬 수 있다. 이러한 학습 편의성과 사용 편리성을 사용자에게 제공함으로써 기존에 IPTV 에서 사용하기 힘들었던 웹 서비스의 사용성을 크게 향상 시키는 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 우리는 이러한 Widget UI 의 사용성을 객관적으로 평가하기 위해 UI 전문가들을 대상으로 전문가 평가를 실시하였으며, 결과 비교를 위해 다른 웹 서비스 제공 UI 들도 추가적으로 전문가 평가를 실시하였다. 전문가 평가 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 Widget UI 가 타 UI 들에 비해 높은 사용성 평가를 기록하였으며, 이 결과는 결국 우리가 제안한 Widget UI 가 IPTV 에서 웹 서비스 정보를 제공하는데 있어 효율적이고 적합한 방식임을 보여준다.

Increasingly important UI(user interface) on the digital media era, and increasing awareness about the user experience. In this study, by considering these realities, what impact smartphone UI experience, this product attitudes and purchase intentions you want to check. First, the findings of the smartphone UI experience influence on product attitudes of the smartphone was confirmed. Second, the smartphone's UI experience was confirmed also in the purchase of smartphones that partially affects. Finally, attitudes were identified as affecting the purchase of products for smartphones. The results of this study, the strategies suggest the need for consideration of future marketing strategy for smart phones smartphone's UI experience. Especially valuable experience for the smartphone-focused marketing strategy, such as the administration of post-A/S system, ie, around experience than are necessary. Finally, in order to improve the consumer's purchase decision more than anything that can enhance the positive attitude of consumers for its products marketing strategies are necessary.

User interface model technology can apply UI based on a user's choice. Recently, researches about th interface for the user's convenience have been actively made. For this, in W3C, various researches are ongoing in order to provide UI adjust service based on N-Screen service, consistent service provision, and the user's preference. In this paper, we study the model-based interface technology, which is fundamental to develop UI for the user's convenience. For this we study the verification process by analyzing elements of the user interface technology, analyzing the standards of the UI, and finding improvements for the MBUI standard. This will be used in order to secure the technology for web-application measures and to apply next-generation web-application.

Nowadays, UI(User Interface)'s main target area is getting larger from user's convenience oriented interface, to user's satisfaction oriented interface. In this study, we attempted 'Storytelling User Interface' for fulfillment of user's satisfaction. We analyzed UI in games, distinguished and clarified its effectiveness that conveys main contents and special features to its audience. The most important element in storytelling UI is 'Inherent Drama'. This was proved through the game analysis with Blizzard's 'Diablo', Sierra's 'Home world', Eden Games' 'Test Drive Unlimited', EA's 'Black And White', and Sony Entertainment's 'Eye Of Judgment'. And we divided storytelling elements into 3 pieces, Mood Design - that shows story's background, or traits, Natural Control - for user's feeling as a hero in the content, and Flow Directing - using animation, visual design and sound, etc. Via these elements, we can make the best use of background, icon, animation, every structures and flow in games. Finally, we embodied three pieces for putting in practice for effective improving interface.

At the beginning stage of design process, the concept design is required to equip the creative idea thinking and exerts critical effect on the success of production. To support the idea thinking process at the stage of concept design, web-based Creative Group Thinking System(CGTS) was developed. In this vein, the purpose of this study is to investigate the significance of HCI(Human Computer Interface) and UI(User Interface) and to find the way to increase the applicability of the UI of CGTS.

The current user interface (UI) of NEIS school affairs business system is not efficient in conducting the business because of complicated data input forms as well as unharmonious connection between similar items and functional menu. In the paper, the term UI means a comprehensive concept including input/output, input/output related functionality, and menu configuration for users to perform their tasks. The first survey, carried out with one hundred teachers at three elementary schools of Kyeonggi-do, shows that the UI problems of the system are manual inputs, inconvenient menu configuration, disconnection between academic calendar and educational process, complexities of managing attendance report and curriculum evaluation, etc. We have improved the UI design by providing more efficient input method and more systematic menu configuration compared to the current system, and then evaluated the design through the second survey. Evaluation results show that users prefer the proposed UI design especially from the viewpoint of user-friendly input interface and user-oriented view composition.
