Recently, for safety of people, there are proposed so many technologies which detect density of people at the specific place or space. The representative technology for crowd density estimation was using image analysis method from CCTV images. However, this method had a weakness which could not be used and which's accuracy was lower at the dark or smog space. Therefore, in this paper, to solve this problem, we proposed a user density estimation system at closed space using high frequency and smart device. The system send inaudible high frequencies to smart devices and it count the smart devices which detect the high frequencies on the space. We tested real-time user density with the proposed system and ten smart devices to evaluate performance. According to the testing results, we confirmed that the proposed system's accuracy was 95% and it was very useful. Thus, because the proposed system could estimate about user density at specific space exactly, it could be useful technology for safety of people and measurement of space use state at indoor space.

The purpose of this study is to explore the determinants of actual demand for wireless broadband (WiBro) services in Korea. To this end, this study identifies conceptual definitions of diverse latent variables and determines the significance of the causal relationship between independent and dependent variables. It then presents the nomadic user concept by testing the moderator effect. This study also proposes a revised Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, which is an appropriate model for wireless communication services and users' attributes. Prior research has concentrated exclusively on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) based on future potential users. Compared to previous studies, the current research model and analysis results are useful in not only academic but also industry contexts.

Conformance testing for embedded software is to check whether software was correctly implemented according to software specification or not. In conformance testing, test scenarios must be extracted to cover every test cases of software. In a general way, test scenarios simply focus on testing all functions at least one time. But, test scenarios are necessary to consider efficiency of test execution. In this paper, we propose a test scenario extraction method by considering function's execution time and waiting time for user interaction. A test model is a graph model which is generated from state machine diagram and test cases in software specification. The test model is augmented by describing test execution time and user interaction information. Based on the test model, test scenarios are extracted by a modified Dijkstra's algorithm. Our test scenario approach can reduce testing time and improve test automation.

최근 제품이나 서비스를 기획할 때, 사용자 경험 (User Experience)의 측면에 대한 고려를 해야 한다는 이야기가 많아지고 있다. 이는 기능이나 성능을 결정할 때 기능 추가, 몇 %의 성능 상승같이 좁은 방법으로 제품이나 서비스의 기획의 방향을 결정하는 것이 아니라, 사용자가 그 기능이나 성능에서 대해서 어떻게 느끼고, 기능이나 성능을 통해서 어떤 경험을 했는지에 대한 전반적인 고려가 필요하다는 것을 여러 분야에서 공감하고 있다는 증거라 하겠다. 그러나 사용자 경험이라는 개념이 명확하게 정의되어 있지 않고, 그에 대한 실증적인 연구가 부족하여, 더 나은 사용자 경험을 제공하기 위해서 어떤 노력이 필요한지에 대해서 명확하고 쉽게 파악하기 어려운 실정이다. 기존의 HCI 분야에서는 제품이나 서비스를 평가할 때 사용성 (Usability)에 초점을 맞추어서 사용성 평가 (Usability Testing)를 통해서 정량적으로 문제점을 조사하는 방법론에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어졌다. 그러나 이러한 사용성 평가 는 사용자들의 과업 수행 시간, 과업 수행 여부 등 사용자들이 제품이나 서비스를 통해서 진행하는 결과에 대한 성능 (Performance)에 주목하고 있어서 전반적인 사용자 경험을 중요시하는 현재 HCI 가 가야 할 방향과 현업의 필요와는 부합하지 않는다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 심층 인터뷰를 통해서 사용자에게 제품 경험에 있어서 중요한 요소를 찾아내고, 각 요소를 이용하여 제품에 대한 사용자의 전반적인 경험을 설문으로 물어본 후 구조방정식 모형분석을 통하여 각 경험 요소의 가중치를 도출하였다. 또한 이러한 가중치를 바탕으로 핸드폰, MP3 플레이어, LCD TV, 냉장고의 실제 제품 평가에 적용하여 사용자 경험을 바탕으로 한 제품 평가를 진행하였다. 또한 이러한 방법론을 한국뿐만 아니라 러시아, 독일, 인도의 사용자들에게도 같은 방식으로 진행하여 실증적으로 본 연구에서 개발된 방법론이 가능한지 여부를 확인하였다.

Most of the research in the multi-touch area is based on the FTIR(Frustrated Total Internal Re리ection), which is just implemented by using the previous approach. Moreover, there are not the software solutions to improve a performance in the multi touch-blobs detection or the user gesture recognition. Therefore, we implement a multi-touch table-top display that is based on the DI(Diffused Illumination), the improved touch-points detection and user gesture recognition. The proposed method supports a simultaneous transformation multi-touch command for objects in the running application. Also, the system latency time is reduced by the proposed ore-testing method in the multi touch-blobs detection processing. Implemented device is simulated by programming the Flash AS3 application in the TUIO(Tangible User Interface Object) environment that is based on the OSC(Open Sound Control) protocol. As a result, Our system shows the 37% system latency reduction, and is successful in the multi-touch gestures recognition.

Pilot Aptitude Research Equipment (PARE) is a simulator developed to measure or research pilot aptitude and train for student pilots. Design of an ergonomic PARE operation console is required to operate the equipment effectively. This study carried out five steps : (S1) operator questionnaire survey, (S2) anthropometric design formula development, (S3) usability evaluation, (S4) improvement design, and (S5) validation considering both Physical User Interface (PUI) and Graphic User Interface (GUI) of PARE operation console. The operator questionnaire surveyed needs for each PUI and GUI part of the console from two PARE actual operators. In terms of PUI, the anthropometric design formula was developed by using design variables, body dimensions, target population characteristics, and reference posture related to the PARE console. In terms of GUI, the usability evaluation was conducted by three usability testing experts with a 7-point scale (1 : very low, 4 : neutral, 7 : very high) on GUI of the PARE operation console by seven usability criteria. The improved PARE operation console was designed to reflect the optimal values of design variables calculated from design formula, the results from usability testing, and the operator's needs. The improvement effect was observed by 20 people who had experience with the PARE operation console. As a result of the validation, monitor visibility and cockpit visibility for the improved PUI design and visibility and efficiency for the improved GUI design were significantly increased by more than 90% respectively. The improved design of the PARE operation console in this study can contribute to enhance operation performance of the PARE.

A reactor protection system (RPS) plays the roles of generating the reactor trip signal and the engineered safety features (ESF) actuation signal when the monitored plant processes reach predefined limits. A Korean project group is developing a new digitalized RPS and the Cabinet Operator Module (COM) of the RPS which is used for the RPS integrity testing and monitoring by an equipment operator. A flat panel display (FPD) with a touch screen capability is provided as a main user interface for the RPS operation. To support the RPS COM user interface design, actually the FPD screen design, we developed a user interface style guide because the system designer could not properly deal with the many general human factors design guidelines. To develop the user interface style guide, various design guideline gatherings, a walk-though with a video recorder, guideline selection with respect to user interface design elements, determination of the properties of the design elements, discussion with the system designers, and a conversion of the properties into a screen design were carried out. This paper describes the process in detail and the findings in the course of the style guide development.
