There are rarely effective methods to help visually impaired people when they want to know the expiration date of products excepted to only Braille. In this study, we developed an expiration date notification system based on YOLO and OCR for visually impaired people. The handicapped people can automatically know the expiration date of a specific product by using our system without the help of a caregiver, fast and accurately. The proposed system is worked by four different steps: (1) identification of a target product by scanning its barcode; (2) segmentation of an image area with the expiration date using YOLO; (3) classification of the expiration date by OCR: (4) notification of the expiration date by TTS. Our system showed an average classification accuracy of about 86.00% when blindfolded subjects used the proposed system in real-time. This result validates that the proposed system can be potentially used for visually impaired people.

본 연구에서는 사지마비 장애인이 활용할 수 있는 동작을 이용하여 마우스, 문자 입력, 전동휠체어 제어 등에 활용될 수 있는 인터페이스 기술을 개발하였다. 사지마비 장애인이 활용 가능하면서도 착용이 쉽고 데이터 처리가 용이한 동작으로서 이물기 동작을 제안하였다. 좌측, 우측 및 양측 이물기 동작 및 이물기 시간의 조절을 통해 사지마비 장애인의 경우에도 다양한 명령어 형성이 가능하다. 이때, 이물기 동작의 인식은 관자놀이 부근에 위치한 관자근에서의 근전도 신호를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 데이터를 획득하여 전송하고 처리하기 위한 하드웨어와 소프트웨어를 함께, 전동휠체어 제어를 위한 응용 시스템도 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 시스템을 사지마비 장애인에게 적용하여 그 효용성을 평가하였다.

본 논문은 다양한 기기로 구성된 분산 IT 환경에서 보다 신속한 장애 탐지 및 원인 파악을 위한 Monitoring framework을 제안한다. 제안된 Framework은 전통적인 Event Correlation 기법과 전통적 기법의 문제점 해결을 위한 Probing 기법을 혼용한(Hybrid) 것인데, 이를 통해 각각의 기법이 지닌 한계를 극복하고, 장애탐지 능력을 향상시킨다. 즉, Event Correlation 기법은 임계영역에서 장애 판별이 어려운 문제점이 있는데, 이러한 경우 장애 여부를 확신하기 위해 Probe station을 이용하여 Probe를 실행함으로써 장애 판단 능력을 향상시켰다. 또한 Probing 기법은 복잡한 분산 IT 환경에서 Probe Set를 구성하는 어려움이 있는데, 이를 회피하는데 도움을 준다. 본 논문에서는 Web 기반 애플리케이션에서 User-Session을 기반으로 추출한 Http Packet를 Probe set으로 이용하여 구현하였다.

In this paper, we implement the signboard voice guidance service for visually impaired person using virtual beacon. The new location to provide a location-based service can be added easily by using virtual beacons, which are locating by Wi-fi, GPS, and so on, instead of physical beacons, which are locating by physical devices. We provide the voice service for guiding information of the captured signboard for the visually impaired when he arrived at the location registered through the virtual beacon.

This study designed, developed and evaluated an application to improve the social skills of students with Autism Spectrum Disorders(ASD) based on the stage of the ADDIE model. The design stage aimed to factor in the characteristics and needs of students with ASD, and created guide maps and story boards accordingly. In the development stage, the application was made through a total of fourteen processes and four official tests. In the evaluation stage, heuristic usability evaluation was conducted on 10 teachers based on the their experience of using the application in the implementation stage. The results of the evaluation were all close to 'very good' in the areas of educational value, content implementation technology, content information and convenience. Finally, the application was fully developed after reflecting the corrections in accordance with the result of the usability evaluation. It is expected that this study have a role in invigorating the development of special educational software content.

하드웨어 기술의 발전으로 인해 컴퓨터 하드웨어의 결함 발생률은 상수 값이거나 점차 작아지는 경향이 있다. 반면에 하드웨어에 탑재된 소프트웨어의 복잡성 및 크기는 이전에는 상상할 수 없을 정도로 방대해져가고 있기 때문에, 소프트웨어의 결함 발생으로 인한 컴퓨터 시스템의 장애 발생 가능성은 점차 더 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Active/Active 클러스터 시스템의 가용도 개선을 위해서 소프트웨어적인 결함 발생을 미연에 방지할 수 있는 능동적 결함허용 기법인 소프트웨어 재활(rejuvenation) 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 소프트웨어 재활 과정 및 여분서버로 작업전이(switchover) 과정을 semi-Markov 프로세스로 모델링 한 후, 수학적 분석을 통해 구한 Active/Active 클러스터 시스템의 bud형 상태 확률을 이용하여, 다양한 운영 조건하의 가용도 및 손실비용을 계산하였으며, 이를 통하여 소프트웨어 재활을 통한 Active/Active 클러스터 시스템의 가용도 개선 가능성을 확인하였다.

The IT asset is a core part that supports the management objective of an organization, and the fast settlement of the IT asset fault is very important. In this study, a fault recovery prediction technique is proposed, which uses the existing fault data to address the IT asset fault. The proposed fault recovery prediction technique is as follows. First, the existing fault recovery data were pre-processed and classified by fault recovery type; second, a rule was established for the keyword mapping of the classified fault recovery types and reported data; and third, a machine learning process that allows the prediction of the fault recovery method based on the established rule was presented. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed machine learning process, company A's 33,000 computer fault data for the duration of six months were tested. The hit rate for fault recovery prediction was approximately 72%, and it increased to 81% via continuous machine learning.
