This study suggests a sentence generating method to help those who have language impediment with their communication. The method suggested in this study was constructed into a system in order to be applied to AAC system. AAC system is a personal portable device that generates sentences. Those who have language impediment need another communication method, causes inconvenience when used in a conversation with those who don't have the same trouble. The method of inputting both consonants and vowels can be inconvenient and time consuming for a conversational communication because of the number of the key strokes. The lexical information for the sentence generating of this study defines the user's domain, collects the adequate words and sentences, and extracts and classifies the characteristics of the collected words. The comparison between the number of key strokes for sentence generating using the system and that of inputting consonants and vowels using a keyboard was made in order to evaluate the usefulness the sentence generating method.

최근 장애인에 대한 사회적 배려 및 관심이 높아지면서 장애인을 위한 각종 보조기구가 많이 개발되고 있다. 대부분의 청각, 시각, 정아 장애인들은 정자, 수화 등을 통해 타인과의 의사소통이 가능하며, 또한 이들을 위한 많은 보조기구가 개발되어 큰 도움을 받고 있지만 척수 손상 환자들을 위한 보조기구는 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 척수 손상 환자를 위해 들숨, 날숨 기반으로 각종 기기(컴퓨터, 휠체어, 콘센트 등)들을 작동시키며, 또한 입력된 분자를 음성으로 출력할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하고 구현하여 척수 손상 환자들이 최소한의 도움으로 독립적인 활동이 가능하도록 하였다.

We have developed an electronic aids, called SmartWand, which can help visually impaired people walk safely and tell them an object's color and environmental brightness SmartWand can inform visually impaired people of the dangerous obstacles around which they can't notice by the white cane such as a large panel with supporting poles on the street. Especially we have lmproved the previous version of SmartWand by reflecting the result of user study.

자율운항선박 기술개발사업 중 2세부(자율운항선박 핵심 기관시스템 성능 모니터링 및 고장예측 진단 기술 개발) 과제는 자율운항선박의 추진 및 전력 생산을 담당하는 핵심 기관시스템의 운전 상태를 실시간 모니터링하여, 계측 데이터 기반의 고장 진단/예측을 수행하고 장애 발생 시 원격 지원체계를 통해 체계적/전문적 정비를 수행할 수 있도록 지원하는 기술이다. 자율운항선박은 선원이 없이 자율적으로 운항도 하지만, 핵심장비/기자재에 대해서도 실측 데이터를 기반으로 스스로 판단하여 고장여부에 대한 의사결정이 가능하여야 한다. 선박 기관시스템은 선박 운항의 안전과 정시 입·출항에 핵심이 되는 장비/기자재로써 자율운항선박 구현에 필요한 핵심 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 자율운항선박 핵심장비 중 보조기기 2종(Pump, Purifier), 배관(Seawater Pipe, Steam Pipe)의 성능 모니터링 및 고장예측/진단 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위한 연구를 수행한다.

This study was conducted to investigate the job-performance of manual wheelchair post-management and to find out the relationship between job-performance and vocational ability of people with developmental disabilities. In this study, situational evaluation and vocational evaluation were conducted for 9 subjects participated in the vocational training program about manual wheelchair post-management. The data was analyzed by non-parametric statistical processing. As a result, the job-performance was an average of 80.87%. The job-performance had a positive correlations with visual closure, kinesthetic integration, and basic concepts(p<.05). The relationship between job-performance and vocational abilities can be used as basic data for vocational training program and job assignment. It is expected to be useful of spreading the post-management job for assistive technology devices in the local community activated through the convergence of assistive technology and vocational rehabilitation.

코로나19 팬데믹 이후 배달 앱 사용량이 증가에 따라 배달 오토바이 수가 급증하면서 이와 관련 사고 또한 급격히 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 특히 청각 장애인들은 도로에서 이러한 종류의 사고 위험에 더욱 노출되어 있으며, 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 구글 앱 인벤터를 사용하여 도로에서 오토바이 소리를 인식하는 인공지능 학습 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 어플리케이션은 도로에서 오토바이 소리를 감지하고 사용자에게 진동과 사진으로 알림을 보냄으로써 사고를 예방에 기여할 수 있다.

As the complexity of urban growth out of people with disabilities are subject to many restrictions. In particular, visually impaired people are not allowed to perceive objects as well as objects around the environment, it suffers from a number of outdoor activities to environmental challenges. But the outdoors environment of the current domestic reality is lacking a lot of facilities to assist the activities of people with disabilities, including the visually impaired. In this paper, we propose a navigation system to help the visually impaired in outdoor activities. The proposed system was applied to test the Jeungpyeong campus of Korea National University of Transportation for the exam.

Almost of alternate computer access devices which assist people with disabilities to utilize the computer connected to computer by some cables or installed in as a S/W program. These devices have some spatial limitations to the people with disabilities, it can't guarantee the free and diverse access to the computer. For these reasons, in this paper, an Android-based mouse program for alternative computer access was developed. A people with physical disabilities who has some limitation of hand movements can use it in anywhere and anytime using only the fine motor skill of the upper limbs. The developed device recognizes the user's point touch and transforms it into the location of mouse cursor. The location information transferred to the computer via Bluetooth communication module equipped in smart devices. Also the group scanning method which can reduce the user's fatigue degree was employed and click, double click, drag & drop functions by hand's movements were equipped. The developed device will help the people with disabilities to use computer with brief touch and convenient operation without spatial limitation.

본 연구에서는 청각장애인용 통신보조기기에 적용하기 위한 어휘예측 시스템의 기본구조를 제안한다. 통신보조기기의 어휘는 사용자의 환경을 고려한 어휘이므로, 어휘 예측 시스템도 사용자의 환경과 실생활에서 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 방향으로 고안되어야 한다. 따라서 어휘예측 시스템은 사용자의 환경을 정의하고, 중심어휘와 장소별 도메인에서의 어휘를 발췌한다. 발췌된 어휘는 말뭉치와 의미함축의 원리를 이용하여 분류한다. 분류된 어휘는 문법적 지식을 바탕으로 가상 네트워크를 구성한다. 가상네트워크에서의 어휘는 명사, 조사, 동사의 3부분으로 나눈 후 의미함축과 말뭉치로부터 파생된 어휘를 근접한 거리에 위치시킨다. 동일한 네트워크상에서 어휘의 위치는 문법적 연관성, 빈도수 등을 이용하여 정한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 어휘예측은 명사, 조사, 동사에서 가장 근접한 어휘를 연결하여 간단한 문장을 작성할 수 있는 어휘 예측 시스템의 기본구조를 제안한다.
