According to NIA (National Information Society Agency) report, digital divide is a vicious circle which makes quality interval of human's life between people who have information and relatively not. Especially in a smart phone society, there is a big problem between disabled people and normal people. This paper suggests a braille keyboard system for the blind to solve these problems. It is designed for portable use, convenience and quick text typing based on bluetooth communication technique. In text input test, all texts (Korean, English, number) were accurately expressed and typing speed was about 22 [c/m](characters per a minute). Especially, we design text2voice function to provide more accurate key input system. Popular applications such as call, alarm, message, kakao talk, internet, music, were performed without carring problems using the proposed braille keyboard system. The proposed technique is thought to contribute to eliminating the digital divide through the expansion of smartphone users.

In this study, a plastic bottle recycling bin system that utilizes an infrared sensor was implemented. The proposed system consists of a recognition unit, a control unit, an alarm unit, and a driving unit. The recognition unit detects the plastic bottle, measures the distance between the plastic bottle and the infrared sensor, extracts the value of the bottle, compares the extracted value with a standard range, and then transmits the control value to the control unit if the extracted value of the bottle is outside the standard range. In this case, the result of the presence or absence of a brand label or bottle cap is transmitted to the controller. The control unit opens the entrance of the recycling bin or alerts the alarm unit according to the result value transmitted from the sensor unit. In order to implement the proposed system, the recognition unit was implemented with an infrared sensor, and the control unit was made with an Arduino IDE controller, based on the C programming language. Additionally, the recognition unit and the control unit are able to communicate using analog signals. The proposed system accurately judges the presence or absence of a brand label and bottle cap of plastic bottles according to a predetermined algorithm. It then blocks the entrance of the recycling bin when a brand label or bottle cap is still attached. As the amount of waste discharged per person is relatively high and the majority of such waste is incinerated rather than recycled, the system proposed in this study is expected to increase the recycling rate of plastic bottles.

In this study, we proposed a monitoring system for identifying and handling faulty sensing stream data on manufacturing equipments where low-cost sensors can be safely used. Low cost sensors will lessen the cost of implementing distributed monitoring system, but suffer from sensor noises and inaccurate sensed data. Therefore, a distributed monitoring system with low cost sensors should identify faulty signal data as either of sensor fault or machine fault, and filter out faulty signals from sensing fault. To this end, we adopted a fourier transform based diagnostic approach mixed with a weighed moving averaging method, in order to identify faulty signals. We measured how effective our approach is and found out our approach can filter out one-third faulty signals from our experimental environment. In addition, we attached wireless communication modules to reduce sensor and network installation cost. To handle massive sensor data efficiently, we employed unstructured data format with NoSQL based database.

Distress accidents occur annually by and failure of sea rescue and time delay lead to fatal accident. In the event of maritime distress, most of the equipments used for search and rescue are in responsible for the position of ships. An MOB equipment is a representative equipment for lifesaving and uses AIS communication method. However, the MOB equipment has problems of interference with existing vessel traffic process and it is difficult to apply because there is no proper certification standard. Therefore, this paper proposes a maritime search and rescue supporting system using smartphone. Utilizing the widely constructed IT infrastructure, it collects position information of the fishing boat and leisure ship using GPS embedded in the smartphone. Also the developed system supports to participate in the rescue by sending the information about the occurrence of the survivor in a certain area to the ship operator.

Recently, the maritime environment contaminated by the abandoned fishing gears. To solve this problem, there requires systematic management techniques for the fishing gears based on ICT technologies. The existed systems are optionally used by owners, but the systems need to adopt the monitoring and control architecture for integrated national surveillance. To do this, we designed an architecture for effective monitoring and management which collects position and state information using automatic identification buoy (AIB) device, to send the fishing ship, administrator ship, and shore side control center based on the IoT networks. Especially, in this paper, we developed the ENC-based integrated control system for efficient management which provides functions for position indication, state information display and loss alarm of fishing gears. Also, we conduct performance tests for data processing and visualization functions of the system to use a virtual buoy generation module.

In modern society, awareness of diabetes is growing with an increase in the elderly population and an increase in the incidence of diabetes. In particular, diabetic patients can suddenly develop hypoglycemic shock; therefore, it is important to measure blood glucose periodically. However, self-monitoring blood glucose meters are difficult to carry and it is difficult to manage the value. To solve these problems, the blood glucose measurement system has been developed as a sensor attached to the body or as one of the functions of smart devices, but it has not been commercialized. In this paper, we propose a smart band with a blood glucose measurement function. If a user enters a schedule to measure blood glucose level, such as before/after meals, in the app, he/she can receive a measurement alarm from the band. The user can measure the blood glucose level at any time using the band, and the measured value is transmitted and managed by the app including behavior history such as before/after meals and the time. This will help the user to manage, diagnose and prevent health problems. The system has been tested using two medical device-certified products, and each blood glucose measurement value has been confirmed to be more accurate.
