New Digital Signage Service at Seoul Subway Stations :: 2010/06/10 10:30

/Something Innovative

Do you remember a mall scene of Minority Report? If you can’t remember it, watch the below video-clip.



I sometimes wonder whether it will be possible to witness similar situations near myself in ten or twenty years. By the way, I was very surprised by the fact that I have been already exposed to a lot of digital signage at mall, convenience store, theater and subway. After recognizing this, I researched the current market size of Korean digital signage. Although I am not sure it is exact forecast, according to many Korea’s media estimate, the size of the Korean digital signage market  will be an estimated $100 mil this year. I expect that more various and interesting digital signage services will appear in a few years.

Today, I want to introduce a unique digital signage which is provided at subway stations of Seoul, Korea. The name of the digital signage is “Digital View’ and it is provided by Daum (a major Korean internet portal) and Finger Touch. Refer to the below picture.

People in Seoul can see this big device at every subway station. According to the service provider, they already installed 913 devices at 117 stations. This device has two touch-panel screens, 42” main screen and 17” supplementary screen. The main screen shows a lot of information, including Seoul subway map, real-time news and entertainment content. In addition, people can use VoIP service using the small touch-panel screen. The VoIP service is currently provided for free and it is expected that this service will be a paid-service later. I took some pictures of this new device and described the details of each picture.

Transformation of Popular Web-Portal for Mobile Service :: 2008/05/09 20:07

/Mobile Service in Korea

  As I mentioned, full browsing service for mobile internet is attracting many korean users after LGT launched OZ service. Full browsing service enables many users to connect to usual web pages with mobile handsets. However, some guys point out that, because usual Korean portal put too many contents including picture and text on an independant web page, usual web pages are not proper for mobile service.

  Thus, popular web-portals started to transform their service for mobile service. Naver, the biggest korean portal, has already provided the simple edition of its initial page. The simple edition of Naver looks like the initial page of Google. The initial page of Naver SE excludes unnecessary pictures and text and includes just only a blank input box for search like Google. It is very effective and efficient for mobile web browsing service.

  Another popular portal, Daum is also preparing for a new simple web page for mobile service. Daum announced that it will launch a simple service including popular contents for mobile service in May. I think these transformations of popular web-portals are very positive signals for expanding mobile data service in Korea.
