Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of smart-phone app-based walking exercise programs for taxi drivers on self-efficacy and outcome expectations for exercise, health-related quality of life, walking as an exercise, and physiological indexes. Methods: A nonequivalent control group with a pre-post-test design was used. The subjects were recruited in G metropolitan city. Subjects were assigned to the experimental (n=31) or control groups (n=30). The smart phone app-based walking exercise program consisted of educations via the app, twelve short message services, and one individual telephone counseling session, which was spread over 12 weeks. Results: Self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and health-related quality of life had significantly higher pre-post test differences in scores in the experimental group. Additionally, blood pressure, body mass index, and waist circumference had significantly decreased prepost-test difference levels in the experimental group. Walking as an exercise (which consisted of days walked, number of steps walked, and amount of time walked) had significantly increased in the experimental group after 7~12 weeks in the period following the intervention program rather than 1~6 weeks after the program. Conclusion: The smart phone app-based walking exercise program based on the self-efficacy theory demonstrates a significant effect on improving self-efficacy, outcome expectations physical activities, and health-related quality of life for taxi drivers. Therefore, it is recommended to actively use the program as a tool to promote self-efficacy, physical activities, and health behaviors in taxi drivers.

The use of MPSoC has been increasing because of a rise of use of mobile devices and complex applications. For improving the performance of MPSoC, number of processor has been increasing. Standard MPI is used for efficiently sending data in distributed memory architecture that has advantage in multi processor. Standard In this paper, we propose a scalable distributed memory system with a low cost hardware message passing interface(MPI). The proposed architecture improves transfer rate with buffered send for small size packet. Three queues, Ready Queue, Request Queue, and Reservation Queue, work as previous architecture, and two queues, Small Ready Queue and Small Request Queue, are added to send small size packet. When the critical point is set 8 bytes, the proposed architecture takes more than 2 times the performance improvement in the data that below the critical point.

This paper describes the medical and IT convergence system using a smart phone and a heuristic method for the measurement of the dripping speed of the liquid in a drip chamber, which can estimate the remaining time using pattern recognition and difference image from video frame information based on Android technology. The video frames were first made using a smartphone camera and we calculated the difference image between the n image and the (n-1) image and then changed into binary images using the threshold value. At this point, it is very important to find an optimal threshold value using heuristic method to recognize the dripping of the liquids. In addition, the user can adjust the dripping speed according to the doctor's prescription, exactly like watching the progress bar of a mobile application. The experiment results show that our method using video processing technique accurately measures the dripping speed for a wide range of speeds that are sufficient for ordinary practice.

Recently, Healthcare system has not been standardized and has been developed as an embedded system lacking interoperability. We are finally going to face such problems as having excessive load in using network caused by the uncontrolled spread of system and un-guaranteed interoperability among the heterogeneous systems. We suggest the possibility that OSGi and JADE can be accepted as a solution for the above problems.

As mobile computers and embedded systems are becoming popular recently, we need to study how to utilize the resources such as power, space, CPU clocks, and memory efficiently. In traditional embedded system development, we were interested in resource usage based on hardware but, as software is becoming more important, we need to study how to analyze the resource usage based on software. In this research, we propose a new method called 'Instruction Level Resource Usage Analysis Method' and implement it as a resource usage analysis tool called 'I-Debugger'. I-Debugger is constructed on three layers: debugging layer which controls the execution of software on instruction level, statistic layer which gathers real-time data and convert to useful information, and analysis layer which generate useful information to specific applications. We have applied the debugger to some simple problem and found that our method is useful in developing resource efficient embedded systems.

In this paper, we propose ATM switch structure including AAL type 2 switch which can efficiently transmit low-bit rate data, even if the network has many endpoints. We simulate the architecture of ATM switch fabric that is modeled in computer program and analyze the performance according to offered loads. ATM switch proposed in this paper can support cell switching for all types of AAL cells which consist of AAL type 1, AAL type 2, AAL type 3/4, and AAL type 5 cells. We propose two switch fabric methods; One supports the AAL type 2 cell processing per input port, the other global AAL type 2 cell processing for every input port. The simulation results show that the latter is superior to the former. But the former has a merit for easy implementation and extensibility. The proposed ATM switch fabric is widely applicable to mobile communication, narrow band services over ATM network and wireless ATM as well as general ATM switching fabric.

App is used on mobile devices such as smartphones and also has malicious code, which can be divided into normal and malicious depending on the presence or absence of hacking codes. Because there are many kind of malware, it is difficult to detect directly, we propose a method to detect malicious app using AI. Most of the existing methods are to detect malicious app by extracting features from malicious app. However, the number of types have increased exponentially, making it impossible to detect malicious code. Therefore, we would like to propose two more methods besides detecting malicious app by extracting features from most existing malicious app. The first method is to learn normal app to extract normal's features, as opposed to the existing method of learning malicious app and find abnormalities (malicious app). The second one is an 'ensemble technique' that combines the existing method with the first proposal. These two methods need to be studied so that they can be used in future mobile environment.
