Recently, U-Healthcare is receiving attentions as a research for reducing the manpower, time in treatment, and etc. Although fundamental technologies, such as sensing, measuring, and etc. are sufficiently investigated. However, Technologies of IT/Medical convergence, which graft IT technologies to medical area, are still in germ. For this, we present a novel healthcare system, which can be applied to the middle sized medical environment, such as private hospital, home, or etc., by means of pre-verified technologies and the expert system. There exist IT element technologies are sufficiently developed in the fields, such as network, database or etc. due to the remarkable developments in IT technologies, and the healthcare is a mission-critical environment. Therefore, it is important not only to investigate novel approaches but also to utilize verified technologies for the U-Healthcare solution. Presented solution provisions automated medical services based on expert system by utilizing the measured data, such as body fat, blood pressure, blood glucose, and etc., in order to provide convenient treatment environment to doctors and nurses. In addition, since people, who do not have medical knowledge, can self-diagnose themselves, it is expected to cut medical costs in various areas. Especially, since each devices communicate with each other through standardized Bluetooth technology, Presented healthcare system is an extensible solution which can easily accept various medical devices. As a result of this, we can safely say that the self measurement and diagnosis services in U-Healthcare are now enhanced by reducing medical cost through our healthcare system.

A 5 kWh composite flywheel rotor was designed and manufactured, and its spin test was performed to monitor strain distribution and burst speed. Strain distribution in radial and circumferential directions of the rotor were measured using a wireless telemetry system based on bluetooth technology for real-time strain measurement. The strains was compared with pre-calculated design values to verify the initial rotor design. We noticed the rotor failed at 19,499 rpm in the spin test, 11 % lower than the predicted burst speed of 22,000 rpm. Failure occurred at the hub which connects the shaft and the composite rotor. The performance of the composite rotor was confirmed in a general sense, and the danger of unexpected failure of composite rotor during high-speed spinning was also demonstrated in this paper. Special attention should be paid to not only composite rotor but also hub when designing a flywheel energy storage system. The telemetry system needs to be further developed, especially enduring the high centrifugal forces, and can be used in a real time monitoring system for the flywheel energy storage system.

As the use of children's school buses increases, accidents caused by the negligence of school bus drivers and ride carers have also increased significantly. To prevent such accidents, the government is coming up with various policies. We propose an accident prevention and safety management system for children's school buses. Through this system, bus drivers can easily check whether each child is seated and whether the seat belt is used, so it is possible to quickly respond to children's conditions while driving. With the ability to recognize faces by analyzing camera images, children can use a seat belt that is automatically adjusted to their height. It is therefore possible to prevent secondary injuries that may occur in the event of a traffic accident. In addition, a sleeping child-check system is provided to confirm that all children get off the bus, and a text service is provided to inform parents of their children's locations in real time. Based on Raspberry Pi, the system is implemented with cameras, pressure sensors, motors, Bluetooth modules, and so on. This proposed system was attached to a bus model to confirm that the series of functions work correctly.

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) have been made possible by the emergence of small and lightweight wireless systems such as Bluetooth, enabled devices and PDAs. Antennas are an essential part of any WBAN system and due to various technical requirements and physical constraints, careful consideration of their design and deployment is needed. This paper is proposing on the design of wearable antenna as parts of clothing to serve communications functions, such as tracking and navigation in health care applications. The substrates of the wearable antennas will be made from textile materials and since it is wearable, it should have a small size, be light weight, low maintenance, and unobtrusive. This proposed paper will also investigate the influence of different parameters for wearable antenna including types of textile/substrate to ensure that the antenna design satisfies WBAN requirements. The characteristics and behavior of the antenna need to adhere to specifications set by wireless standards and system technology requirements. This means that the transmitting and receiving frequency bands of the various units need to be chosen accordingly. Since there are restrictions on the level of power to which the human body can be exposed to, the antenna as well as other RF system components must be designed to meet these restrictions. Antenna gain, which directly affects power transmitted, is a critical parameter in ensuring power levels fall within the safety guidelines and so will be of primary importance in the design. The electromagnetic interaction between WBAN antennas and devices and the human body will also be explored.

As IoT equipment is commercialized, Bluetooth or wireless networks will be built into general living devices such as IP cameras, door locks, cars and TVs. Security for IoT equipment is becoming more important because IoT equipment shares a lot of information through the network and collects personal information and operates the system. In addition, web-based attacks and application attacks currently account for a significant portion of cyber threats, and security experts are analyzing the vulnerabilities of cyber attacks through manual analysis to secure them. However, since it is virtually impossible to analyze vulnerabilities with only manual analysis, researchers studying system security are currently working on automated vulnerability detection systems, and Firm-AFL, published recently in USENIX, proposed a system by conducting a study on fuzzing processing speed and efficiency using a coverage-based fuzzer. However, the existing tools were focused on the fuzzing processing speed of the firmware, and as a result, they did not find any vulnerability in various paths. In this paper, we propose IoTFirmFuzz, which finds more paths, resolves constraints, and discovers more crashes by strengthening the mutation process to find vulnerabilities in various paths not found in existing tools.

In this paper, we propose a method to infer the user's behavior and situation through collected data from multi-sensor equipped with a smart clothing and it was implemented as a smart-phone App. This smart-clothes is able to monitor wearer users' health condition and activity levels through the gyro, temp and acceleration sensor. Sensed vital signs are transmitted to a bluetooth-enabled smart-phone in the smart-clothes. Thus, users are able to have real time information about their user condition, including activities level on the smart-application. User context reasoning and behavior determine is very difficult using multi-sensor depending on the measured value of the sensor varies from environmental noise. So, the reasoning and the digital filter algorithms to determine user behavior reducing noise and are required. In this paper, we used Multi-black Filter and SVM processing behavior for 3-axis value as a representative value of one.

It is necessary to develop small, implantable bio-telemetry systems which can measure and transmit patients' bio-signals from internal body to external receiver. When measuring bio-signals, like electrical bio-signals, acoustic bio-signal measurement has also a big clinical usefulness. But, sound signal has larger frequency bandwidth than any other bio-signals. When considering these issues, a wireless telemetry system which has rapid data transmission rate proportional to wide frequency bandwidth is necessary to be developed. The bluetooth module is used to overcome the data rate limitation caused by the large frequency bandwidth. In this paper, a novel multimedia bluetooth biotelemetry system was developed which consists of transmitter module located in the body and receiver device located outside of the body. The transmitter consists of microphone, bluetooth, and wireless charging device. And the receiver consists of bluetooth and codec system. The sound inside the skin is captured by microphone and sent to receiver by bluetooth while charging. The wireless charging system constantly supplies the electric power to the system. To verify the performance of the developed system, an in vitro experiment has been performed. The results show that the proposed biotelemetry system has ability to acquire the sound signals under the skin.

Recently, as the consumer market of the mobile device is explosively getting bigger and bigger, both of the usability and applicability of the mobile device are also growing rapidly. The customers prefer to transfer data between the different mobile devices and download multimedia data via the wireless connection even wherever they are. The trend of mobile devices also shows the tendency of employing the various connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, W-USB, NFC, and so on in a single mobile device. With this market trend, the importance of the technology associating different devices is getting increased gradually. In this paper, we present how to support the NFC association of the W-USB technology by extending the existing NFC's handover protocol. We also explain the differences between the NFC association and the handover protocol, and propose the method to resolve the differences by extending the handover protocol of the NFC technology. Finally, we describe how to implement the NFC system supporting the W-USB handover protocol.

Cryptographic algorithm testing is performed to ensure that a specific algorithm implementation is implemented correctly and functions correctly. CMVP(Cryptographic Module Validation Program) of NIST in US is the well-known testing system that validates cryptographic modules to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). There is no FIPS-approved stream cipher, and CMVP doesn't involve its validation testing procedure. In this paper we provide validation systems for three currently used light-weight stream ciphers: Bluetooth encryption algorithm E0, 3GPP encryption algorithm A5/3, and RC4 used for WEP and SSL/TLS Protocols. Moreover we describe our validation tools implemented by JAVA programing.
