Since companies have recognized that the integration of customers into processes of product innovation has become a critical factor for success, new concepts of virtual customer integration have been developed to investigate customer's needs and to identify customer-generated ideas. Virtual worlds seem to be promising in means of support customer integration because of their three-dimensional environments,...
This paper describes a multi-touch screen system design based on FTIR theory. We describe FTIR phenomena and give the mathematical explanation. And we introduce our innovation hardware design including the structure of multi-touch screen. LabVIEW is used as a processing tool in software design of multi-touch screen system. At last, we show our practical experimental system, and the system is proved...
Recently various types of new media have surfaced with surprising rapidity namely e-mails, blogs, and social networks such as Twitter and Face book. The dialogue on these media is critical yet insubstantial verging merely on negative and positive rather than an extensive study. However, few attempts have visualised the greater impact of the phenomena. In this paper, our effort is to investigate this...
In entrepreneurship and innovation circles, “painstorming” is a process by which a person examines either a particular product or the world around them with the goal of identifying negative customer/user issues to serve as focal points for development efforts or research. In business education, the concept of product evolution is used to both chart the stages in the product development and to examine...
As the biggest incumbent communication service provider (CSP) in Indonesia, TELKOM has a big challenge in competing with its competitor to win the competition in the dynamic market. Since the knowledge or intellectual is the key driver to win the competition, it is a big challenge for TELKOM on how to manage its knowledge, so it can give the highest business value. Innovation process in TELKOM is...
The traditional teaching methods can not meet the needs of the times, and the computer technology and network technology create favorable conditions to improve teaching methods and means of PE, the computer-aided teaching promotes computer network teaching model to the existing sports diversity, the direction of social development in Physical Education will become an effective modern teaching methods...
How to promote the "quasi-channel-based system" to "channel-based system" and how to raising up the efficiency of the channels' resource-allocation are both the concerns of media managers and researchers. This article analyzed some outstanding questions existing in the process of today's channel-based system reform such as homogeneous competition between channels??Cunbalanced development...
The paper is a study of character modeling in animation design. Innovating animated characters based on plural themes is the prerequisite of modeling the lifelike and distinctive cartoon images. With the intention of creating originality, the designers will display or exaggerate characters by means of computer-aided design technology, or alternatively highlight the cartoon images via the story plot...
Based on the actual situation, the mathematical model of the diffusion of ideas in TV media area is founded, and the effective factor such as media drumbeating, public praise, culture background, drumbeating fund, and media competition are described. The demonstration according to the statistical data shows that this model can image the bascal trend of the phenomenon of the diffusion of ideas in TV...
The consumers were divided into 5 types, i.e., the fashioners, the potentials, the bardians, the followers and the conservatives, based on the scores of the factors that affect consumers' adoption of the charged online movies (COM) by cluster analysis using the questionnaire data, and in which the largest part was the potentials where the least the followers. And, on the other hand, three types of...
In this work we show the impact of a mentoring program for freshmen set for the degrees taught at the Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenierlia Informaitica of the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia. We analyze the variables that influence the student participation in the program, and we evaluate the impact that following up it has for an improvement of the academic performance of the students.

In this paper we present some Learning Objects and Learning Modules that we have developed within the subjects of mathematics in the degree of architecture at the Universitat Politecnica de Valeincia and we present some results about our experience in introducing this type of digital material in the teaching-learning process of this discipline.
The development of social media infuses the modern relationships with vitalities and brings a series of information dissemination with subjective consciousness. This is one of the general characteristics of the information age after a widespread wave of Social Network Services(SNS), arousing the unprecedented management pressure for the Chinese government. Considering the difficulties in managing...
This thesis used the method of system dynamics to draw the affecting factors archetype of network media use, determine three key variables of the cost of media use, education gap and the quality of information, propose the integrated management measurement including financial subsidies and computer skills training and media literacy education based on the analysis of the mechanisms of three key variables...
In this paper it is presented a supporting plan for learners who do not have the possibility of develop a subject in presential format. Instructional design tries to provide the basis for improving the learner's achievement. The proposal is compatible with European Space of Superior Education (EEES) applied to engineering learning programs.

Twitter is a social networking platform that offers a simple, yet powerful service. The majority of its functionality resides in 140-character-maximum statuses, or ‘tweets’. We are developing a Java application that utilizes the service's application programming interfaces (APIs). The purpose is to offer a level of integrated functionality not provided by their website, and to circumvent some of the...
This interactive application will allow visitors to play with garments in three dimensions, transforming them into creative, customizable and experimental objects. Based on touch screen technology and through a simple and attractive interface, visitors will be able to dress and customize a 3 dimensional virtual fashion model. The model will pose for you to show of the physically simulated garments...
We report on the recent activities of the Blackwood Foundation and specifically on a series of engagement workshops with the public. We organised 11 workshops across Scotland, which ran between 24 August and 19 October 2010. We sought to engage with people in order to explore how design and technology may enhance, or inhibit, independent-living. This involved speaking at length to over a 100 people...
