It is known that natural awakening of us in the morning is due to stimulation of the reticular activation system through biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of hypothalamus by the morning sunlight. If we sleep at dark rooms without windows and so without morning sunlight, thus, it is not easy fur us to get up refreshingly in the morning. In this paper, we propose an automatic sunrise household lighting system that helps us fer getting up cheerfully in the morning even if we sleep in dark rooms without morning sunlight. The proposed lighting system is an embedded system that turns automatically on the electric lamp and makes it brighter and brighter coincidently with the actual sunrise. The proposed system is composed of a PIC microcontroller with flash memory, a real-time clock IC, a D/A converter, an amplifier, a dimmer unit, a light bulb, a display panel and a keyboard. The validity of the proposed intelligent lighting system is demonstrated via a prototype production and experimentation.

To effectively manage lamp facilities on a remote place, it is required to identify a status of the places where the lamp facilities are placed. however, since there is no methods to notify the status of sensors to the central management system based on the non-networked sensor environments, it is difficult to manage the lamp facilities remotely. In this paper, we propose the lamp facility management system to acquire the various status informations of lamp facilities using more than two sensors. To get the status remotely, the system exploits a wireless network based on the ZigBee. The benefit of this system is to help the efficient dicision makings of administrators.

스트레스는 다양한 질병의 원인이 되며 스트레스의 해소는 질병 예방에 중요한 요인이라 할 수 있을 것이다. 스트레스를 해소시키는 방법 중 한 가지는 청각이나 시각을 이용하는 방법이다. 청각과 시각을 동시에 이용할 수 있다면 그 효과를 극대화 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 음악의 분위기를 자동으로 파악하고, 파악한 음악의 분위기를 표현할 수 있는 감성조명 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 감성조명을 공원이나 가정집 등에 제공할 수 있을 것이고, 음악과 조명을 동시에 제공함으로 현대인 질병의 원인이라 할 수 있는 스트레스 해소가 가능 할 것이다. 또한 본 논문의 시스템을 이용하여 임상실험을 실시하여 임상데이터를 확보한다면 심리 치료를 목적으로 하는 의학적 도구로 발전 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to develope a current variation control system appropriate to the various LED(Light Emitting Diode) lamps using current control system equipped with microcontroller based voltage regulator of power driving circuit. For this, we will suggest a stable control system of current variation to enable a stable power-supply and current-control, consisting of circuit to minimize the affects on the LED forward voltage using variable resistance and compensating resistance. The method of constant current circuit and energy savings using microcontroller based voltage regulator suggested in this study can be applied to various a big capacity LED lamp to minimize the unnecessay heat generation and to control resistace delicately. Ultimately, we expect the results of this study will upgrade the reliability of LED lamp by supplying the current stably.

In this paper, we propose a real-tin e face recognition system that is robust under various lighting conditions. Th Modified Census Transform algorithm that is insensitive to illumination variations is employed to extract local structure features. In a practical face recognition system, acquired images through a camera are likely to be blurred and some of them could be side face images, resulting that unacceptable performance could be obtained. To improve stability of a practical face recognition system, we propose a real-time algorithm that rejects unnecessary facial picture and makes use of recognition consistency between successive frames. Experimental results on the Yale database with large illumination variations show that the proposed approach is approximately 20% better than conventional appearance-based approaches. We also found that the proposed real-time method is more stable than existing methods that produces recognition result for each frame.

A drive system is necessary to operate LED by an LED illumination system. Because Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is higher in efficiency in the large capacity than Linear Regulator, it is used mainly and controls this in an analog form or digital method. A MCU and a DSP of the digital control central processing unit were higher in a unit price than existing analog control chip, so that an approach was not easy for application of SMPS. But it can take the earnings by it lets you integrate various digital control features like an LED illumination system in one MCU, and realizing a whole system. In this paper, we suggest the algorithm that can improve LED driving current in applying such a digital control method using low-priced type MCU.

국내외 에너지 정책에 힘입어 LED 조명 보급이 늘어나면서 관련된 광 무선 기술이 주목받고 있다. 적외선 무선통신 포트를 장착한 상용 제품들이 수 년 전부터 공급되었다. 이들이 시장을 주도하지는 못했지만 LED 조명을 이용한 가시광 무선통신은 조명의 커버리지 안에서 안정된 출력과 채널 환경이 매력적이다. 하지만 조명 기능을 우선적으로 유지시켜야 하는 상황에서 광 신호를 다루는 해결책이 충분하지 않아 고속 통신에 제약이 따른다. LED 조명 융합 기술을 무선통신 기술 관점으로 접근하는 새로운 연구가 다양하게 이루어지고 있다. 무선통신은 RF 기반의 시스템이 대부분이지만, 무선 패킷 수요 증가를 고려하여 새로운 주파수 자원에 의한 근거리 무선 보조 수단으로 광 무선통신이 제안되고 있다. 이에 관하여 LED 조명과 연계한 광 무선통신 기술의 현황과 전망을 기술하였다.
