Objective: Companies want to expand their business by providing their services at other devices and new services based upon existing services. Therefore, they look for building brand identity by providing same experience throughout devices and services. Background: Many services are available to use at multiple devices including mobile phones, tablet, personal computers, and televisions, thanks to proliferation of n-screen and cloud technology. Method: It was discussed that consistency, which emphasizes the regularity and has been one of essential aspects of user interface design, seems not effective to be applied to n-screen services, owing to different screen size, input and output peripherals, usage environment and users' attitude. Results: A new definition of same experience among different devices and services, called coherence, was introduced and abstraction levels of user interfaces were proposed as the denominator of defining coherence. Then types of users' task knowledge at each abstraction level were discussed with examples. Conclusion: This paper concluded by discussing design requirements for designing coherent user interfaces among devices and services.

Mobile web applications are different from desktop web applications because of their small screen size and small user input devices. Therefore user interface designers have spent their effort and time to re-design the user interface of mobile web applications to meet these differences. In this paper, we introduce five user interface patterns for mobile web applications to reduce their effort and time. Two of them are for utilizing small screen size efficiently, and they are space overloading pattern and data filtering pattern. These patterns enable designers to reduce screen usage. The other three patterns - data suggestion pattern, input reuse pattern, and incremental data input pattern - are for helping users' data input on mobile devices. These three patterns enable users to reduce direct data input. Our work will help user interface designers develop mobile web interface to utilize screen space efficiently and get data with less errors and less efforts from users.

This study aims to find out the influences of user behavior, content characteristics, functional factors and user's perception in cost on user satisfaction and continuous intention in N-Screen service. Web survey was conducted for 498 users who have used N screen service. The results show that the most influential factor contributing to user satisfaction is user interface. VOD diversity, payment system, cost, channel diversity are also meaningful factors. Identifying the critical factors which impact on user satisfaction, this study can provide the basic data for activating OTT service in smart media environment.

Panning tasks caused by both a small screen and the lower resolution of handheld devices are known to decrease the usability of a mobile internet service. To solve this problem, we proposed FTND, an improved version of Tap-N-Drag widely used in various mobile web browsers. 30 participants performed the panning tasks with FTND embedded in combinations of 2 panning directions of Push Background user interface and Push Viewpoint user interface and 5 panning ratios of 100% (a panning ratio of Tap- N-Drag), 300%, 500%, 700%, and 900%. The usability of FTND was assessed by an objective performance and a subjective preference. The objective performance was measured by a task completion time, the number of clicks, and the number of pixels. The subjective preference was measured by satisfaction, accuracy and ease of use. Push Viewpoint user interface at the panning ratios of 300%, 500%, and 700% proved to be the most efficient way for panning tasks with small handheld devices when performing the task by using the right hand thumb.

Recently the research convenient for the user interface for the user interface technology that can be applied to the UI according to user's choice being made. To this end, the W3C is underway in a variety of devices from N-Screen service, consistent service delivery and the user's preferences according to UI to support adaptive services for a variety of research environments. In this paper, we studied the basic model-based user interface technology to develop a UI for the user's convenience. Web application applications apply measures will be used to apply the technology acquisition, and next-generation Web applications.

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.

Recently, there is study about interface for user convince. this users interface technology can apply to UI depend on user choice. For that, W3C study various technology which is N-screen service on different device, provide consistent service, and UI adjust service depends on user preference. Therefore, we need UI study based on this model and standard technology. In this paper, study UI technology based on basic model to develop UI for user's convenience. So it can be useful to apply next-generation Web applications and secure web-application measure plans.

This research attempts to identify N-screen users' motivational and dissatisfying factors in relation to their willingness for continued future use of the service. An on-line survey was conducted (N=558) to reveal five major factors for N-screen use: Medium usability (interface usability and daily usefulness), Socialness (potential for social use with family and friends), Mobility (use without restraints of time and space), Contents (diversity of contents catalogue and related information search), and Habitual use. With exception of Contents factor, four of those factors were proven to be meaningful predictors of the users' willingness for continued future use of N-screen service. Meanwhile, two factors were extracted as the major source for N-screen users' dissatisfaction: Customer service (dissatisfaction associated with the service itself) and Contents (dissatisfaction relating to contents use). The effect of those two dissatisfaction factors was examined. The results show that Contents dissatisfaction, in comparison with Customer service dissatisfaction, was a more powerful predictor for discontinuing of N-screen service use.

This paper concerns the development of NC programming system TIG (Turning with Interactive Graphics) with interactive graphics for turning operation. The system cosists of the processor, the post-processor and the system-user interface. Different from previous segment contour based NC graphic programming systems, the frliability and efficiencyof programming is realized by using Boolean operation with block unit based ICONs for the geometry definition. The tool motion can be also displayed on the screen together with the part contour. The system calculate automatically the number of passes based on the user specified cutting conditions.

In this paper, we have designed and implemented the 'N-screen based solar power monitoring system' using N-screen technology by improving the existing monitoring system that can only be accessed or controlled by PC. The HW of the system is consists of solar power modules, inverter, and relay server. And SW is implemented in consideration of the following three points. First, we applied the N-screen technology in order to support various devices. Second, we applied 1:N communication technology that multiple devices can be connected simultaneously to the relay server. Third, we also considered the security problems between server and devices. The final system has been evaluated through the operational test and received good reviews from the technical and economic point. In the future, we are expecting that this technology will replace the existing monitoring systems in various fields, like smart home, smart building, smart city, smart industry, and smart agriculture, etc.
