Ubiquitous services are high duality and differentiated services which are provided for users by recognizing the context of users and environmental conditions actively. In this case, context-aware middleware is one of the most important technologies required to implement the ubiquitous services. In this paper, we propose a method for providing ubiquitous services in a specific user space effectively and monitoring human bio-signal sensors. That is, the design and implementation of intelligent home service middleware and monitoring human bio-signal sensor based on context awareness is discussed here. Context information from various sensors is gathered, and suitable services are inferred and provided to users by the middleware system. In our approach, user services can be modelled easily by using facts and rules, and the system can be extended easily to support various ubiquitous services other than intelligent home services also. The system can be integrated with external applications and legacy systems effectively by using various protocols such as RMI, socket and HTTP, XML and Zigbee etc. We have designed and evaluated various facts and rules for intelligent home services in real environments. Functionality evaluation with the system shows that ubiquitous services can be provided to users effectively in a home environment.

Customers can monitor electricity use in real time in smart grid(ICT is grafted onto current grid), so various beneficial services can be provided to customer. We did a qualitative survey, HV(Home Visit) and FGD(Focus Group Discussion), in order to derive customer's cognition of using electricity in home and values that customers consider significantly and a quantitative survey in order to know willingness to use. Customers consider electricity indispensible for using home appliances, want to use safely far from electromagnetic waves, short circuit and electronic shock. Also, customers want to save energy conveniently with no stress. Customers want 'a function', 'information', 'motivation' for energy saving, and 'electromagnetic waves cutting', 'to prevent electronic shock', 'to prevent short circuit' for safe electricity use. In this study, we derived 4 services - energy monitoring, standby power cutting, remote control, energy consulting - based on customer values and unmet needs, which is connected to home network that customers can monitor total and each appliance's electricity usage in real time and control home appliances. The willingness to use of services is over 60% and especially energy monitoring and standby power cutting service have high willingness to use rate, about 80%.

Intelligence Home and Home Automation, which attracted attention before Smart Home, caused inconvenience to users by focusing on applying cutting-edge technologies to homes, and failed to popularize them due to lack of unemployment efficiency. However, with the 4th Industrial Revolution, various services using technologies related to big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things are increasing, and the rate of smart home services that operate, manage, and automate products at home is gradually increasing. In line with this trend, this paper implements a program app that can connect, manipulate, and manage products using MQTT server, Django web framework, and WIFI communication module.

스마트 홈 환경에서 사용자 중심 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 가전기기를 제어하고 네트워크에 연결하기 위한 미들웨어기술과 상황에 맞는 서비스를 제공하기 위해 사용자 위치 정보가 중요하다. 기존의 위치 시스템들은 장애물 등에 영향을 많이 받아 정확한 위치 정보를 얻을 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 OSGi 미들웨어 상에서 관성 센서와 RFID Reader를 이용하여 위치추적 시스템의 난점인 초기 위치설정 문제와 오차 누적 문제를 개선한 사용자 위치 추정 시스템을 설계하였다. 또한 스마트 홈 환경 안에서 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템이 장애물의 영향을 받지 않고 동작하는 것을 확인하였다.

With the development of ubiquitous computing and the construction of infrastructure for one-to-one personalized services, the importance of context-aware services based on user's situation and environment is being spotlighted. The smart home technology connects real space and virtual space, and converts situations in reality into information in a virtual space, and provides user-oriented intelligent services using this information. In this paper, we proposed the discovery of the behavior sequence pattern using the mining in the smart home. We discovered the behavior sequence pattern by using mining to add time variation to the association rule between locations that occur in location transactions. We can predict the path or behavior of user according to the recognized time sequence and provide services accordingly. To evaluate the performance of behavior consequence pattern using mining, we conducted sample t-tests so as to verify usefulness. This evaluation found that the difference of satisfaction by service was statistically meaningful, and showed high satisfaction.

최근 스마트 TV는 멀티코어, 3D가속, 고속 네트워크 및 다양한 인터페이스 지원 등으로 인하여 성능이 향상되었다. 향후 스마트 TV는 씬-클라이언트인 이기종 단말기에게 홈 클라우드 서비스를 제공할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 홈 클라우드로서의 스마트 TV는 단말기 간의 보안과 다양한 서비스를 제공하기 위해 가상화가 기술이 필요하다. 그러나 가상화 환경에서의 스마트 TV는 다중의 가상 머신이 실행될 경우 메모리 부족으로 인해 스왑-아웃 문제를 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 TV의 메모리 사용 분석 및 ballooning을 통한 효율적인 호스트 메모리 관리의 필요성을 제시한다.

사물인터넷 리모콘은 스마트폰 애플리케이션으로 제어하고 있다. 그러나 제조사가 다른 디바이스를 사용할 경우 여러 애플리케이션을 설치하여 사용하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 스마트 홈 환경에서 사물인터넷 디바이스와 서비스를 통합 제어할 수 있는 사물인터넷 리모컨을 제안한다. 사물인터넷 리모컨을 WiFi를 통해 인터넷에 연결하고 서비스 서버를 통해 버튼 입력 이벤트를 다른 디바이스 혹은 서비스로 전송하여 직접 제어할 수 있는 사물인터넷 리모컨이다. 그리고 사물인터넷 리모컨의 초기 설정을 위한 애플리케이션과의 연동 테스트를 진행하였다.

This study evaluated its potentials by quantitatively analyzing the national economic impact of the smart home-related industry, which is attracting attention as a core industry of the 4th industrial revolution. For the analysis, the smart home-related industries were classified into manufacturing and service industries through a literature review of the previous studies. Using the 2018 input-output table, this paper analyzed linkage effects between industries as well as spillover effects in the production, value-added, employment and job. As a result, the smart home manufacturing and service sectors showed a higher spillover effect in value-added than other industries in each industrial field. In the smart home industry, the spillover effects of manufacturing sector to service sector are larger than those of service sector to manufacturing sector. Moreover, it was confirmed that smart home industry was highly related to not only the technology-intensive industry, but also the service sector for smart cities, smart cars, Fin-tech, and etc. On the other hand, the smart home manufacturing sector is a final demanding industry with relatively higher backward linkage effect than forward linkage effect. In the smart home service sector, the forward linkage effect was relatively high compared with the backward linkage effect, indicating that it was an industry with a high supply function to other industries.

For providing smart home service, middleware technologies for electronic appliance control by network and user location information for location based service are important. Recently research using ultrasonic and radio signal are affected by the obstacle. In this paper, we suggest inertial sensor that is not affected by the obstacle. Also, we use RFID for initializing position. It solve error accumulation and position initialize problem. In this paper, we suggest following system for smarthome service and localization. This system are composed smarthome middleware, user localization system on middleware, inertial sensor and RFID Reader. This system shows operation without affect of obstacle in smarthome environment.

스마트 홈서비스가 이루어질 앞으로의 가정에서는 거주자의 편리를 추구하는 다수의 가전기기와 다양한 장치를 통해 여러 형태의 서비스가 제공된다. 그 환경의 중심에서 사용자는 무엇보다 손쉽고 편리하게 이들을 시용할 수 있어야 한다. 기존에는 사용자가 쉽게 휴대할 수 있는 소형 컴퓨터, PDA, 휴대폰을 이용해 스마트 홈서비스를 제어하는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이들을 사용하는 것은 복잡하면서 전문적인 지식이 필요할 수 있으며 항상 결에 두어야 한다는 불편함이 있을 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 관성센서를 이용한 동작인식 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서를 사용하며 3축의 자이로(각속도) 및 가속도를 측정할 수 있는 센서 모듈과 측정된 데이터를 이용해서 동작 패턴을 분류해 주는 알고리즘으로 구성된다. 차후에 홈 네트워크 시스템과의 결합을 통해 미리 지정된 간단한 손동작만으로 여러 가전기기를 제어할 수 있을 것이며 특히 노약자나 장애인들이 기존의 리모트 컨트롤 등의 복잡한 제어 장치를 대신해서 간편하고 손쉽게 사용할 수 있을 것이다.
