User acceptance of smart wearable devices: An expectation-confirmation model approach

Smart wearable devices have become one of the most popular interactive items in the “smart” era that prioritizes “mobility.” There is significant scholarly interest in not only promoting the successful diffusion of this technology but also providing improved user experience to users of these devices. In line with this trend, this study explores users’ perceptions of smart wearable devices and introduces a comprehensive research model that employs factors that are primarily extracted using the expectation-confirmation, technology acceptance, and flow models. The results derived using both confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling methods (N = 1,380) indicate that users’ intentions to use smart wearable devices are determined by five influential factors: satisfaction, enjoyment, usefulness, flow state, and cost. Both users’ confirmation and service and system quality play notable determinative roles in the research model. Implications and suggestions are presented considering the results.

Heat dissipation in wearable computers aided by thermal coupling with the user

Wearable computers and PDA's are physically close to, or are in contact with, the user during most of the day. This proximity would seemingly limit the amount of heat such a device may generate, conflicting with user demands for increasing processor speeds and wireless capabilities. However, this paper explores significantly increasing the heat dissipation capability per unit surface area of a mobile computer by thermally coupling it to the user. In particular, a heat dissipation model of a forearmmounted wearable computer is developed, and the model is verified experimentally. In the process, this paper also provides tools and novel suggestions for heat dissipation that may influence the design of a wearable computer.

CASTWED： continuous authentication combining smart terminal with wearable devices in mobile satellite communication system

Wearab1e devices，such as smart watches or smart brace1ets，have been growing rapid1y wor1dwide.These devices with various sensors have the abi1ity to perceive the circumstance and user's biometric features，which can be used to continuous1y authenticate a user's identity.However，these features have not been studied to identify a specific user in mobi1e sate11ite communication system yet，due to its 1ow data transfer rate and unacceptab1e de1ay.To so1ve this prob1em，continuous authentication combing smart termina1 with wearab1e devices（CASTWED）was studied in mobi1e sate11ite communication system，the security of CASTWED was a1so theoretica11y ana1yzed.Simu1ation experiments show that the CASTWED scheme can provide simu1taneous on1ine authentication service for 100 000 users via 60 Mbit/s Ku wave band.     

The underlying factors of the perceived usefulness of using smart wearable devices for disaster applications

Smart wearable devices offer much potential to assist citizens in disasters. To the general public, however, using these devices for disaster applications is still a novel concept. In disasters, most people are reluctant to rely on unfamiliar technologies. Thus, for these devices to become truly useful in disasters, it is important to understand factors that affect their acceptance by the public. Previous studies show that perceived usefulness is a clear antecedent of people’s acceptance of smart wearable devices. However, the underlying factors that affect perceived usefulness itself are not clearly known. Thus, the aim of this study is to fill this gap, and by doing so, to derive some practical implications for solution developers and governments.This study used structural equation modelling to analyse survey data collected from 647 respondents in Japan. We found that the respondents’ perceived usefulness of the current applications of smart wearable devices was a strong predictor of their perceived usefulness of using these devices for disaster applications. Although indirect factors such as the ownership of ICT gadgets and the usage of social media also had some influences, most of their effects were mediated through increasing the respondents’ perceived usefulness of the current applications. In other words, through appreciating the functions of the current applications of smart wearable devices, people can visualise the usefulness of these devices in disaster situations. That being said, we found that in parallel, people also had concerns on the privacy issues of these devices. These findings shed light on the promotion and development of this fast growing technology for disaster applications.

Security flaws in two improved remote user authentication schemes using smart cards

Understanding security failures of cryptographic protocols is the key to both patching existing protocols and designing future schemes. In this paper, we analyze two recent proposals in the area of password‐based remote user authentication using smart cards. First, we point out that the scheme of Chen et al. cannot achieve all the claimed security goals and report its following flaws: (i) it is vulnerable to offline password guessing attack under their nontamper resistance assumption of the smart cards; and (ii) it fails to provide forward secrecy. Then, we analyze an efficient dynamic ID‐based scheme without public‐key operations introduced by Wen and Li in 2012. This proposal attempts to overcome many of the well‐known security and efficiency shortcomings of previous schemes and supports more functionalities than its counterparts. Nevertheless, Wen–Li's protocol is vulnerable to offline password guessing attack and denial of service attack, and fails to provide forward secrecy and to preserve user anonymity. Furthermore, with the security analysis of these two schemes and our previous protocol design experience, we put forward three general principles that are vital for designing secure smart‐card‐based password authentication schemes: (i) public‐key techniques are indispensable to resist against offline password guessing attack and to preserve user anonymity under the nontamper resistance assumption of the smart card; (ii) there is an unavoidable trade‐off when fulfilling the goals of local password update and resistance to smart card loss attack; and (iii) at least two exponentiation (respectively elliptic curve point multiplication) operations conducted on the server side are necessary for achieving forward secrecy. The cryptanalysis results discourage any practical use of the two investigated schemes and are important for security engineers to make their choices correctly, whereas the proposed three principles are valuable to protocol designers for advancing more robust schemes.

Oligopolistic competition and concentration in the smart card industry

Based on some stylised fact, and using a proprietary database of more than 750 agreements spanning from collaborations to merger and acquisition agreements between 1997 and 2003, we try in this paper to characterise and understand the movement of industry concentration. We ask whether the smart card industry will know a monitoring oligopolistic concentration on the fundamental assets and markets, despite increased levels of competition? Or will know radical technological progress, dealing with demand evolution, lead to a change in the current market structure and thus towards a ‘multipolarisation’ of global competition? We find that the smart card industry is struck by a strongly concentrated oligopoly despite fierce competition.

Commwarrior worm propagation model for smart phone networks

Commwarrior worm is capable of spreading through both Bluetooth and multimedia messaging service （MMS） in smart phone networks. According to the propagation characteristics of Bluetooth and MMS, we built the susceptibleexposed-infected-recovered-dormancy （SEIRD） model for the Bluetooth and MMS hybrid spread mode and performed the stability analysis. The simulation results show good correlation with our theoretical analysis and demonstrate the effectiveness of this dynamic propagation model. On the basis of the SEIRD model, we further discuss at length the influence of the propagation parameters such as user gather density in groups, moving velocity of smart phone, the time for worm to replicate itself, and other interrelated parameters on the propagation of the virus. On the basis of these analytical and simulation results, some feasible control strategies will be proposed to restrain the spread of mobile worm such as commwarrior on smart phone network.     

A model for optoelectronically interconnected smart pixel arrays

Theoretical results for modeling source-based smart pixel arrays are presented. Attention is focused on modeling the nonlinearities in sources, as well as electrical and optical couplings and interactions within a single pixel. A matrix formalism is used to generalize the theory to include the behavior of an entire smart pixel array consisting of interacting pixels with arbitrary optical and electrical interconnections. A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL)-based smart pixel array is used for experimental demonstration of the application of the theory in the design and implementation of an optoelectronic flip-flop, where the nonlinear characteristics of the VCSELs are utilized in a positive feedback scheme to achieve bistability.     

Maximum product of effective channel gains: an innovative user selection algorithm for downlink multi‐user multiple input and multiple output

Recently, zero‐forcing beamforming has been widely used for multiple‐input and multiple‐output broadcast channels, because it could provide suboptimal capacity with low complexity. To increase the sum data rate, a good user selection algorithm is attractive. In this paper, a new user selection algorithm named maximum product of effective channel gains is presented. The proposed algorithm is described mathematically, and the lower bound of the sum capacity is demonstrated to be proportional to the product of effective channel gains. Our simulation results show that maximum product of effective channel gains can achieve higher sum rate compared with the classical algorithm, semi‐orthogonal user selection, with the same complexity order, especially when the signal‐to‐noise ratio is high; in addition, the complexity of the proposed algorithm is superior to minimum of the Frobenius norm of the pseudo‐inverse algorithm. Meanwhile, the number of users that can be served simultaneously is equal to the number of transmission antennas, which is the maximum performance that can be achieved.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Joint model of user check-in activities for point-of-interest recommendation

With the rapid development of location-based networks, point-of-interest(POI) recommendation has become an important means to help people discover interesting and attractive locations, especially when users travel out of town. However, because users only check-in interaction is highly sparse, which creates a big challenge for POI recommendation. To tackle this challenge, we propose a joint probabilistic generative model called geographical temporal social content popularity(GTSCP) to imitate user check-in activities in a process of decision making, which effectively integrates the geographical influence, temporal effect, social correlation, content information and popularity impact factors to overcome the data sparsity, especially for out-of-town users. Our proposed the GTSCP supports two recommendation scenarios in a joint model, i.e., home-town recommendation and out-of-town recommendation. Experimental results show that GTSCP achieves significantly superior recommendation quality compared to other state-of-the-art POI recommendation techniques.
