Currently, every person possesses a smart phone due to the development of the IT industry. There is an improper situation in which a smart phone is not set in silent mode, such as a lecture room, a library, and a theatre hall. The proposed system automatically automates the function of smart phones where they are designated as a public place or etiquette area and automatically return the function of the smartphone if they deviate from the location of the site. It is also equipped with a combination of autonomous devices and services, based on Bluetooth communications, which are applied to ultra-light low-power IoT(Internet of Things) devices, and has features that allow diverse types of features and services to be added without requiring deformation of the hardware.

Positioning technology is performing important functions in augmented reality, smart factory, and autonomous driving. Among the positioning techniques, the positioning method using beacons has been considered a challenging task due to the deviation of the RSSI value. In this study, the position of a moving object is predicted by training a neural network that takes the RSSI value of the receiver as an input and the distance as the target value. To do this, the measured distance versus RSSI was collected. A neural network was introduced to create synthetic data from the collected actual data. Based on this neural network, the RSSI value versus distance was predicted. The real value of RSSI was obtained as a neural network for generating synthetic data, and based on this value, the coordinates of the object were estimated by learning a neural network that tracks the location of a terminal in a virtual environment.

Objectives: This paper describes an experience of implementing seamless service trials online and offline by adopting Internet of Things (IoT) technology based on near-field communication (NFC) tags and Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacons. The services were provided for both patients and health professionals. Methods: The pilot services were implemented to enhance healthcare service quality, improve patient safety, and provide an effective business process to health professionals in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. The services to enhance healthcare service quality include healing tours, cancer information/education, psychological assessments, indoor navigation, and exercise volume checking. The services to improve patient safety are monitoring of high-risk inpatients and delivery of real-time health information in emergency situations. In addition, the services to provide an effective business process to health professionals include surveys and web services for patient management. Results: Considering the sustainability of the pilot services, we decided to pause navigation and patient monitoring services until the interference problem could be completely resolved because beacon signal interference significantly influences the quality of services. On the other hand, we had to continue to provide new wearable beacons to high-risk patients because of hygiene issues, so the cost increased over time and was much higher than expected. Conclusions: To make the smart connected hospital services sustainable, technical feasibility (e.g., beacon signal interference), economic feasibility (e.g., continuous provision of new necklace beacons), and organizational commitment and support (e.g., renewal of new alternative medical devices and infrastructure) are required.

Bluetooth 4.0 is the most appropriate technology for Internet of Things, which can be used to enhance and expand the existing areas and areas with a variety of applications. In this paper, an example of the services of the Internet of Things, we developed a tour guide system using the Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi sensor technology. iBeacon-based push service have been limited to iOS smart phone series, non-iOS family and lower version of iOS 6 smart phones can not receive push-based services. This paper proposed in iBeacon and WiFi sensor is more than tourists, while maintaining the existing system (non-iOS smartphone users) can provide the service to you. Service tourist information as well as that can provide the advertising associated with the service. With 10 kinds of smart phones used in Korea was the experiment on the MAC information collected. This experiment is to track the behaviour of tourists in history can provide customized services can be based. Tourist destinations as well as amusement parks, resorts, etc. If you want to apply this system in a crowded place for user behavior information-gathering feature views over the a prevention of a missing child features such as notifications, risk, prevention is possible for a variety of applications.

최근 사물인터넷(IoT) 시장의 급격한 성장과 함께 적용 서비스 분야도 급격하게 늘어나고 있다. 다양한 객체와 인터넷의 연결로 무수히 많은 서비스가 제공되고 있으며 기업 및 공공기관은 이를 활용하여 다양한 콘텐츠를 개발하고 있다. 하지만 IoT인프라의 급격한 범위 확장 및 활용 표준화가 이루어지지 않았고, 이에 따라 인프라 프로세스의 혼란을 야기할 수 있다. 이는 내 외부적인 위협의 증가로 이어진다. 따라서 사물인터넷 기술이 현재 시장보다 활성화 되고 실 서비스 적용 분야가 증가할수록 제도적, 물리적, 기술적인 취약점이 원인이 되어 공격자는 사물인터넷 단말기 내부에 악성코드를 심어 원격 통제를 하거나, 일정 무선 주파수를 동기화 하여 스니핑이나 스푸핑 등의 공격으로 데이터 변조의 위협이 존재한다. 본 연구를 통해 콘텐츠 정보제공의 주 목적으로 활용되는 미들웨어장비인 Bluetooth 4.0 기반의 저전력 비콘(Beacon)의 기능을 활용한 서비스에서 발생될 수 있는 내재적 위협으로부터 정책적, 기술적, 물리적 통제 및 대응 방안을 제안하였다.

Strangely enough, there has not been much effort in applying the latest technologies to help referees make accurate calls in a soccer game compared to other sports. Modern soccer tries to apply VAR (Video Assistant Referee) technology to correct inaccurate calls such as an offside, but this is being put off due to the fact that real time decision-making cannot be carried out by using this technology. This has led this study to decide developing a device that will accurately identify offsides on a real time basis using various latest sensors and related technologies. This device will aid referees in calling offsides in a soccer match.

정보통신 기술의 발달로 사물인터넷에 대한 관심이 증가하였다. 사물인터넷의 한 요소인 무선 큰거리 통신 기술에는 WIFi, 블루투스, ZigBee 등이 있다. 이러한 기술들 중 저전력 블루투스는 낮은 전력 소비와 범용성 덕분에 많은 각광을 밭고 있다. BLE(Bluetooth LE)의 한 형태인 비콘은 더욱 저전력이며, 패킷을 전달하는 방식 또한 기존의 블루투스와 차이가 있다. 본 논문에서논 컨텐츠 보안이 필요한 비콘 서비스의 예시로 비콘을 통한 새로운 형태의 음악 음반을 제시하였다. 또한, 그 보안 특성에 맞춰 패킷 이중화, RSSI, Serial Number Binding 등의 기술들을 사용한 보안 방법을 설계 및 구현한 보안 사레에 대하여 서술한다.

저전력 블루투스가 공개 된 이후 저전력 블루투스 비콘을 이용한 서비스들이 출시되고 있다. 비콘 기반 서비스는 사용자의 스마트폰이 블루투스 기능을 활성화해두었을 때, 일정한 주기의 블루투스 스캐닝을 통해 이용할 수 있다. 블루투스 비콘이 밀집된 실내 공간의 경우, 동일한 비콘이 중복 탐지되거나 사용자가 사용하지 않을 먼 거리의 비콘까지 탐지하게 되므로 스마트폰에서 불필요한 에너지 소모가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 실내 구획화를 통해 동일 영역 내에서 비콘이 중복으로 탐지되는 것을 방지하는 방법과, 사용자 이동성에 따른 동적 스캐닝 주기 최적화를 통해 밀집된 실내 공간에서도 누락되는 비콘 신호를 최소로 하는 기법을 제안한다. 이러한 사용자 이동성에 기반한 스캐닝 주기 최적화 방법은 스마트폰의 전력소모량을 감소시킨다.

In this paper, we propose a smoothed received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based distance estimation using deep neural network (DNN) for accurate distance estimation in an environment where a single receiver is used. The proposed scheme performs a data preprocessing consisting of data splitting, missing value imputation, and smoothing steps to improve distance estimation accuracy, thereby deriving the smoothed RSSI values. The derived smoothed RSSI values are used as input data of the Multi-Input Single-Output (MISO) DNN model, and are finally returned as an estimated distance in the output layer through input layer and hidden layer. To verify the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compared the performance of the proposed scheme with that of the linear regression-based distance estimation scheme. As a result, the proposed scheme showed 29.09% higher distance estimation accuracy than the linear regression-based distance estimation scheme.
