Abstract

Recently, new computing technologies are emerging from various life environments, as a result of the spread of network environments and the advent of new computing devices. This trend in computing technology is called "Ubiquitous computing" and is being developed to provide a convenient lifestyle through the dynamic integration of physical objects and digital information. The hybrid tag interface suggested in this paper is a usage model that integrates widely used image codes and recently applied RFIDs in various applications. On the basis of this concept, we eventually designed five different models such as Dual, Partial, Relative, Rebind and Discrete types according to their interrelation. In this paper, the characteristics of tag interfaces in the form of image codes and RFIDs are analyzed and the hybrid tag interface is proposed here for more efficient and convenient interface.

최근 컴퓨팅 환경은 네트워크의 급속한 확산과 더불어 신개념 컴퓨팅 디바이스의 등장으로 다양한 삶의 영역에 컴퓨팅을 적용하는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경이 되고 있다. 이러한 환경은 물리적 객체와 디지털 정보가 유기적으로 연계되어 사용자에게 컴퓨팅을 통한 편리한 생활 환경을 제공하는 방향으로 발전하고 있다. 이러한 컴퓨팅 발전 추세에 따라 다양한 물리적 객체와 디지털 정보를 연동하기 위하여 바코드 등의 이미지 코드나 RFID등을 이용한 태그 인터페이스에 관한 여러 연구가 진행중이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 하이브리드 태그 인터페이스는 폭넓게 사용되고 있는 이미지 코드와 근래에 다양한 영역에 적용되는 RFID를 결합하여 사용하는 인터페이스 모델로서, 물리적 객체에 관련된 다양한 정보를 이미지 코드와 RFID를 혼용하여 그 관계에 따라 듀얼, 부분, 연관, 속박, 이산의 5가지 모델로 정립하였다. 하이브리드 태그 인터페이스는 이미지 코드와 RFID 같은 태그 인터페이스의 장단점을 분석하여 사용자의 편의성을 향상시키고 적용 어플리케이션을 다양화 함으로써 효율적이고 편리하게 적용가능한 태그 인터페이스이다.
