Abstract

This study relates to the development of a wearable device that can identify a personal location using low-power GPS and IMU based on energy harvesting. The energy harvesting technology using a piezoelectric device was applied for the development of personal location identification, and made it possible to acquire precise personal location data using GPS and IMU. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that GPS and IMU data were normally received. The personal location identification device can be prepared for an accident by identifying a personal location in a disaster area, etc., and the user will be able to use it easily regardless of time, place, and environment. It is expected that it can be used in various fields such as leisure and health care.

본 연구는 에너지 하베스팅 기반 저전력 GPS와 IMU를 활용한 개인 위치를 식별할 수 있는 웨어러블 장치 개발에 관한 것이다. 개발된 개인 위치식별 장치는 압전소자를 이용한 에너지 하베스팅 기술을 적용하였고, GPS 및 IMU를 사용하여 정밀한 개인위치 데이터를 획득할 수 있도록 하였다. 실험 결과, GPS 및 IMU 데이터가 정상적으로 수신함을 확인하였다. 개인위치 식별장치는 재난 발생지역 등에서의 개인위치를 파악하여 안전사고에 대응하고, 시간, 장소 및 환경에 구애받지 않고 사용자가 손쉽게 사용할 수 있을 것이며, 레저나 헬스케어 등 다양한 방면에서 사용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
