기존 성능중심의 PC에서 편의를 위한 인간 중심인 웨어러블 컴퓨터 시대로 변하고 있다. 웨어러블 컴퓨터는 제한적인 하드웨어에서 센서들과의 통신뿐만 아니라 동시에 여러 이벤트를 빠르게 처리해야 한다. SenOS는 극히 제한된 자원을 이용하면서 응용소프트웨어가 탑재된 장치가 요구하는 시간 내에 처리가 필요한 웨어러블 컴퓨터에 적합한 경량 실시간 운영체제이다. 하지만 SenOS는 현재 표준 인터페이스의 미적용으로 인해 응용프로그램의 재사용성이 낮아진다. 따라서 응용프로그램의 재사용성을 높이기 위해 표준 인터페이스를 적용할 필요성이 있다. 컴퓨팅 시스템에서 개방형 시스템 구조를 갖는 표준 중 운영체제의 인터페이스에 대한 표준으로 POSIX(Portable Operating System Interface)가 개발되어 있으며, 디지털 컨버전스 기기와 같이 실시간 운영체제 탑재를 요구하는 시스템을 위한 인터페이스 표준으로 POSIX.4 계열이 있다. 본 논문에서는 경량 실시간 운영체제 SenOS의 표준 인터페이스 적용을 위한 개방형 실시간 운영체제 인터페이스 표준인 POSIX.4 호환 계층(wrapper)을 설계 및 구현하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new safety system composed of wearable devices, driver's seat belt, and integrating controllers. The wearable device and driver's seat belt capture driver's biological information, while the integrating controller analyzes captured signal to alarm the driver or directly control the car appropriately according to the status of the driver. Previous studies regarding driver's safety from driver's seat, steering wheel, or facial camera to capture driver's physiological signal and facial information had difficulties in gathering accurate and continuous signals because the sensors required the upright posture of the driver. Utilizing wearable sensors, however, our proposed system can obtain continuous and highly accurate signals compared to the previous researches. Our advanced wearable apparatus features a sensor that measures the heart rate, skin conductivity, and skin temperature and applies filters to eliminate the noise generated by the automobile. Moreover, the acceleration sensor and the gyro sensor in our wearable device enable the reduction of the measurement errors. Based on the collected bio-signals, the criteria for identifying the driver's condition were presented. The accredited certification body has verified that the devices has the accuracy of the level of medical care. The laboratory test and the real automobile test demonstrate that our proposed system is good for the measurement of the driver's condition.

Recent studies on a fusion of health care system and the information and communication technology of wearable is being developed Anytime and anywhere without being constrained to measure the biological information of the user. However existing wearable monitors the measured biological information. If the user is hard to deal with for the event of dangerous situations. In this paper, it proposes a system that identifies the status of a user to correct the problem it utilizes sensors and algorithms to measure the biological information. This enables the user will be able to respond quickly to dangerous situations. In the event of a dangerous situation, such as falling or stumbling sends an emergency alert to a designated guardian.

Learning from human behaviors in the real world is essential for human-aware intelligent systems such as smart assistants and autonomous robots. Most of research focuses on correlations between sensory patterns and a label for each activity. However, human activity is a combination of several event contexts and is a narrative story in and of itself. We propose a novel approach of human activity prediction based on event cognition. Egocentric multi-sensor data are collected from an individual's daily life by using a wearable device and smartphone. Event contexts about location, scene and activities are then recognized, and finally the users" daily activities are predicted from a decision rule based on the event contexts. The proposed method has been evaluated on a wearable sensor data collected from the real world over 2 weeks by 2 people. Experimental results showed improved recognition accuracies when using the proposed method comparing to results directly using sensory features.

대한민국의 대표적인 구기 종목 중 하나인 농구는 입문 시 기본 동작에 적응하고 기본 규칙을 이해하기 위해 많은 시간이 소비된다. 또한 기존 농구 학습 분야에서 평가 수행 시 평가 대상자의 실력을 정량적으로 도출하는 것이 힘들어 중 고등학교 체육교과의 수행평가에서 객관적인 평가가 이루어지기 힘들었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 농구 학습의 한계점을 해결하기 위하여 3축 자이로 센서와 스위치가 적용된 웨어러블 시스템을 기반으로 농구 학습을 도와주는 동작인식 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 실험을 통하여 제안하는 동작인식 기법의 성능을 검증하였으며, 생활체육 활성화를 통한 국민 건강증진과 객관적인 수행평가 실현에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

It is important for the strategy of service to provide the weather information in the environment that the smart clothing has been changed focusing on the consumer center. Recently, the various applications of smart clothing concept have been presented by researchers and developers. Among them, the smart clothing based on the sensors is most likely to gain the highest demand rate in the market. In this paper, we proposed the life weather index monitoring system using the wearable based smart cap. By wearing the proposed smart cap, the weather status is gathered and its signals are transmitted to the connected UMPC. It can be easily monitored in real time. To provide the life weather index according to the sensors, the weather index was analyzed in terms of 6 factors, such as, the heat index, the food poisoning index, the discomfort index, the ultraviolet index, the water pipe freeze possibility index, and the windchill temperature index. Ultimately, this paper suggests empirical application to verify the adequacy and the validity with the life weather index monitoring system. Accordingly, the satisfaction and the quality of services will be improved the smart clothing.

As interest in wellness grows, There is a lot of research about monitoring individual health using wearable devices. Accordingly, a variety of methods have been studied to distinguish exercise from daily activities using wearable devices. Most of these existing studies are machine learning methods. However, there are problems with over-fitting on individual person's learning, data discontinuously recognition by independent segmenting and fake activity. This paper suggests a detection method for exercise activity based on the physiological response principle of heart rate up and down during exercise. This proposed method calculates activity intensity and heart rate from triaxial and photoplethysmography sensor to determine a heart rate recovery, then detects exercise by estimating activity intensity or detecting a heart rate rising state. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm has 98.64% of averaged accuracy, 98.05% of averaged precision and 98.62% of averaged recall.

In this Paper, we propose a body-area localization technique based on WUSB (Wireless USB) over WBAN (Wireless Body Area Networks) protocol required for wearable computer systems. The proposed localization algorithm is executed on the basis of WUSB over WBAN protocol at each sensor node comprising peripherals of a wearable computer system. To increase the accuracy of input information through various body motions in wearable computer systems, a new localization technique with high precision must be developed. To achieve the goal, This paper proposes a combined TDoA/FDoA/AoA (Time Of Arrival/Time Difference Of Arrival/Angle Of Arrival) localization technique with more than four WUSB over WBAN devices to estimate body-area location accurately. The combined TDoA/FDoA/AoA technique reduces 10mm in location estimation errors comparing with a combined TDoA/FDoA technique. This performance enhancement in location error reduction can be ignored at other systems but is meaningful results in body-area localization-based communications.

A global healthcare system based on M2M technology is proposed to support a good mobility, flexibility and scalability to the patients in 6LoWPAN. Sensor nodes integrated with wearable sensors are linked to gateway with IEEE 802.15.4 protocol and 6LoWPAN protocol for data acquisition and transmission purpose via external network. In the server, heart rate variability signals are obtained by signal processing and used for time and frequency domain performance analysis to evaluate the patient's health status. Our approach for global healthcare system with non-invasive and continuous IP-based communication is managed to process large amount of biomedical signals in the large scale of service range accurately.
