유비쿼터스 지능공간에서 사람의 행동과 위치를 모니터링하는 것은 서비스 제공을 위해 기본적이며 필수적인 단계이다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 펜던트(SmartPendant)의 카메라 영상과 GPS위치 정보를 이용한 새로운 웨어러블 컴퓨터를 제안한다. 우선, 행동 인식를 위해 영상간에 특정 픽셀 값 차와 옵티컬 플로우를 사용하였으며, 인식이 가능한 행동으로는 걷기, 멈춤, 방향전환이다. 또한, GPS를 이용한 사용자의 위치 정보는 위도와 경도에 대한 스트링값을 패킷값으로 변환하여 지능형 상황인지 서버에 전달된다.

IT 기술은 끊임없는 발전을 거듭하고 있으며 현 인류는 기계와 더불어 살고 있다. Desktop, 스마트폰, 노트북 및 태블릿PC는 물론이고, 스마트 워치와 같은 '웨어러블 디바이스(Wearable Device)'의 등장으로 기계 속 세상에 그들과 함께 살고 있다하여도 과언이 아니다. 단연 잦은 기기 사용으로 인해 가장 영향을 크게 받는 인간의 신체 부위는 '눈'이다. 휴대용 기기(Portable Device)는 휴대에 용이해야 한다는 특징 때문에 그 크기가 점차 작아지고 있다. 따라서 작은 기기에 부착된 화면 역시 크기가 감소하였다. 장시간 작은 화면을 집중하여 보게 되면 눈의 피로가 금방 쌓이게 된다. 이로 인해 안구 건조 증 및 시력 저하 발생률이 증가하게 되는데, 영상처리 기술을 이용하여 안구의 깜박임을 감지하고 일정 수치 이하로 깜박임 횟수가 미달될 경우에 안구 운동을 권장하는 프로그램을 개발 하였다.

Because infants lack full communication skills and are not active main agents, nurturing and protection are essential. The value of smart devices that can help prevent potential threats and manage infant care is evaluated highly. This study offers basic research data that contributes to the development of devices for infant and parents as well as to future planning. This study compared and analyzed literature materials and visual materials based on news articles, advanced research, and official websites of brands. The research ranges and subjects are wearable devices for infants that were released or will be released between 2014 and 2017. Wearable devices that help protect and manage infant care are roughly separated into clothing, accessory, and the like. In this study, four kinds of clothing products, six kinds of accessories products, and fifteen kinds of other products were researched and a total of 25 kinds of products were analyzed. Categories was made in accordance with morphological characteristics, main features, materials and the design of wearable devices for infants depending on the device features. Wearable devices for infants that will be developed in the future must be based on a variety of suggestions in order to know best how to attach a sensor to an infant. From this study, the deduced trend analysis of wearable devices for infants can suggest new ways for follow-up studies as well as product development.

Recently, several kinds of researches using IoT wearable devices are active in the field of sports, design, emotional sciences and so on. The human bio data such as blood pulse, ECG, SKT signal, and GSR Signal producing from IoT wearable devices such as Watch, Smart-band, Grass can adapt to the meaningful future applications. Using the human's emotional data and a physical status with variation and so on, we can individually get the personal status. Due to knowing the personal emotion or physical status is related and connected to the valuable wallet of customers, the approach is more important in nowadays. Therefore, the personal information can effectively adapt to the marketing of the culture industry, which deals with emotions of customers. The research shows implementation steps for explaining overall architecture of the convergence research between Art and Technologies.

In this paper, we propose a method of recognizing emotions using PPG sensor which measures blood flow according to emotion. From the existing PPG signal, we use a method of determining positive emotions and negative emotions in the frequency domain through PSD (Power Spectrum Density). Based on James R. Russell's two-dimensional prototype model, we classify emotions as joy, sadness, irritability, and calmness and examine their association with the magnitude of energy in the frequency domain. It is significant that this study used the same PPG sensor used in wearable devices to measure the top four kinds of emotions in the frequency domain through image experiments. Through the questionnaire, the accuracy, the immersion level according to the individual, the emotional change, and the biofeedback for the image were collected. The proposed method is expected to be various development such as commercial application service using PPG and mobile application prediction service by merging with context information of existing smart phone.

This study developed a smartwatch and a wind speed system in accordance with the necessity of a device that provides the information required in marine leisure. Based on a marine leisure smartwatch with a multi-sensor, a gyro box, and a wind speed system, external data such as GPS, motion, humidity, temperature, air pressure, and heart rate can be collected. In addition, the collected external environment data can be managed through an application on a smartphone, which is an Android-based mobile device. The developed smartwatch and wind speed system are expected to contribute to increasing accessibility and revitalization of the marine leisure industry. In addition, in terms of safety and education, the need for a device that provides marine information is large, so it is expected to increase the possibility of entering the high value-added market and improve the product localization rate.

The number of cyclists is on the steady growing for leisure, sports and transportation with the increasing interest in health and environment. However, the number of cycling accidents is also increasing steadily due to the lack of safety awareness and regulations. Focusing on these issues, we propose and develop the smart LED cycling helmet in order to reduce a risk of cycling accident. To provide the motion information of the bicycle for others, we attach the LEDs on the helmet and control the LED lights using Arduino. The motion information is displayed on the LED helmet by using sensors of the smartphone. Communication between Arduino and the smartphone is performed through Bluetooth.

ICT in the IOT era is the core basis of modern society. This study investigated and analyzed the recent commercialization trends of smart fashion products internationally and domestically, to utilize them as the basis of data for developing user-friendly smart fashion products that can meet the needs of consumers. Keyword research using the most representative search engines, Google and Naver was conducted for searching for various wearable items commercialized actively since 2010. The final 78 products were classified by the physical area, and the key features and benefits were analyzed. Smart fashion products were classified as four physical types for the head and face, torso, arms and hands, and ankles and feet. Smart fashion products for each body part were developed in various ways, such as hats, glasses, lenses, virtual screens, earphones, headsets, clothing, watches, wrist bands, gloves, rings, wallets, bags, anklets, shoes, socks, and insoles. The main features were music playback, bluetooth, a camera based on NFC, virtual effects, health and safety protection through measuring heartbeat and momentum, and social network sharing of all kinds of information, based on inter-working with a smartphone. These functions represent the physical, social, and emotional interactions among users and their surroundings, as well as the users, themselves. The research results are expected to be used in future studies on planning user-friendly and marketable products through in-depth analysis of the design characteristics of smart fashion products as well as consumer responses.

According to the recent expansion of the network environment, the spread of smart devices is continuously increasing. With the spread of smart devices such as smart phones, smart pads and wearables, changes are taking place in smart technologies and IT convergence technologies. The development of smart technology is a key element of the 4th industrial technology. The Fourth Industrial Revolution expanded the new service-based industry by adding intelligence to residential, industrial and production environments using IT convergence and smart devices. Research on providing various services using smart technologies, such as smart home, smart factory, smart farm, and smart healthcare, is being conducted in variety. In particular, There is a sharp rise in smart homes due to the proliferation of IoT devices and the growth of sensor technology, control technology, applications, data management, and cloud services. Smart home services using smart technology provide residents with convenient, beneficial services and environments. Smart home service has complemented the existing home network service, but there still are flaws to be modified. In other words, the spread of smart devices, the development of service provider-oriented services, and the interlocking of services have limitations in providing services in consideration of user environment and user state. In order to solve this problem, this study proposes a smart home service system that considers the situation of the elderly.
