In an environment of IoT services, sensors to track things and human activities are included as an essential element and smart phone is actively used as a means of collecting and processing information from sensors. Especially, wireless communication and NFC provided by the smart phone are key technologies for exchanging information between participants of IoT service. In this paper, we propose and implement the smart attendance checking system based on BLE using a beacon for improving the quality of a university lecture by processing attendance information automatically. Proposed system uses the beacon sensor for being aware of attendance information and the smart phone for receiving and processing this information. The implemented system has the benefit to improve the lecture quality because a professor can minimize attendance checking time and spend a lot of time on the lecture.

Many utility lines are buried underground to provide various functions of the city. Because historical records are not managed systematically, damage has occurred during excavation. In addition, the demand for an underground facility management system is increasing as the aerial underground project is progressing. By attaching an electronic recognition sensor to an underground facility, such as pipelines, the management history and site conditions can be carefully managed. Therefore, in this study, electronic recognition sensors, such as BLE Beacon, UHF RFID, geomagnetic sensor, and commercial marker, were tested to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and field applicability through a pilot project. According to the limited research results collected through two pilot projects, the installation depth is most important to demonstrate the performance of the electronic reader. In addition, because it should be used in urban areas, the influence of environmental interference should be minimized, and there should be no performance degradation over time. In the case of the geomagnetic recognizer, the effect of environmental interference was large, and performance degradation occurred over time using the BLE Beacon. In the field situation, where the installation depth can be controlled to less than 40cm, the utility of the battery-free UHF RFID was the best.

In this paper, MEMS embedded system design implemented the sensor events via analyzing the characteristics that dynamically happened to an abnormal status in power IoT environments in order to guarantee a maintainable operation. We used three kinds of tools in this paper, at first Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology which is a suitable protocol that provides a low data rate, low power consumption, and low-cost sensor applications. Secondly LSM6DSOX, a system-in-module containing a 3-axis digital accelerometer and gyroscope with low-power features for optimal motion. Thirdly BM1422AGMV Digital Magnetometer IC, a 3-axis magnetic sensor with an I2C interface and a magnetic measurable range of ±120 uT, which incorporates magneto-impedance elements to detect the magnetic field when the current flowed in the power devices. The proposed MEMS system was developed based on an nRF5340 System on Chip (SoC), previously compared to the standalone embedded system without bluetooth technology via mobile App. And also, MEMS embedded system with BLE 5.0 technology broadcasted the MEMS system status to Android mobile server. The experiment results enhanced the performance of MEMS system design by combination of sensors, BLE technology and mobile application.

Recently, there have been many studies on the IoT environment in which the sensors attached to the equipment automatically transmit and process the site information in real time through the network to control the equipment. The core of such a system is a network for data transmission and reception, and a wired network with wide transmission distance is a priority. However, in the case of a wired network, there is a problem that the time and cost consumed to configure the communication is higher than that of the wireless. In this paper, we propose LPWA - based wireless data transmission system using LPWA and BLE communication to solve this problem. The proposed system collects data from equipment through BLE and transmits data to the server using LPWA. Experimental results show that the spreading factor of maximum length of LPWA is 8, and the minimum length is 9.

Wearable display market is a consistently growing field to handle a smart device with ease. Wearable display is an efficient device that can show the information to the user. In this paper, propose the scheme of a wearable display using LED and implement it including controlling remotely with BLE. Traditional outdoor LED display requires the dedicated controller and its software. Therefore, to control those LED display, it should implement a driver and its own way of communication. The proposed method is to ensure the independence and extensibility by separating driver module and communication module for controlling LED display. In addition, by adopting a short-range communication with Bluetooth 4.0 and a LED driver with low-power technology, it can be showed to control system configuration and display with a smart device.

In this study, we analyzed the variations in the received signal strength index (RSSI) measured from Bluetooth beacons based on the strength and propagation direction of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) signal. Using a smartphone, we performed field experiments to investigate RSSI variations in the BLE signal transmitted by non-directional and directional beacons in an amethyst mine. In case of non-directional beacons, as the distance between the Bluetooth beacon and smartphone decreased, the RSSI increases, whereas as the BLE signal strength increased, the RSSI average gradually increased. The mean value of RSSI measured from the directional beacons was changed without relation to the facing angle between the Bluetooth beacon and smartphone. The results of this study can be used as basic data for developing a Bluetooth beacon-based proximity warning system for underground mines.

The government enacted and promulgated the 'Severe Accident Punishment Act' in January 2021 and is implementing this law. However, the number of occupational accidents in 2021 increased by 10.7% compared to the same period of the previous year. Therefore, safety measures are urgently needed in the industrial field. In this study, BLE Mesh networking technology is applied for safety management of high-risk industrial sites with poor communication environment. The complex sensor AIoT device collects gas sensing values, voice and motion values in real time, analyzes the information values through artificial intelligence LSTM algorithm and CNN algorithm, and recognizes dangerous situations and transmits them to the server. The server monitors the transmitted risk information in real time so that immediate relief measures are taken. By applying the AIoT device and safety management system proposed in this study to high-risk industrial sites, it will minimize industrial accidents and contribute to the expansion of the social safety net.

대학 강의의 출석정보는 학생들의 강의 참여 상태를 확인하여 성적부여뿐만 아니라 학생들의 태도를 파악하기 위한 중요한 자료로 활용된다. 따라서 교수는 매 강의시간 출석확인을 통하여 학생들의 강의참여도를 파악하고, 이를 평가에 활용하고 있다. 대부분의 출석확인은 교수의 수작업에 의존하고 있기 때문에 강의시간 중 일부를 할애하여 처리하고 있으며, 이 시간동안은 강의내용과 관련된 활동이 거의 이루어지기 힘들다. 이러한 문제를 개선하여 강의의 질을 향상시키기 위해 자동 출석체크가 가능한 시스템을 도입하는 대학교가 최근 늘어나고 있다. 그러나 기존의 시스템은 출석관리를 위해서 도입되어야 하는 단말기, ID 카드 등의 초기 도입비용이 매우 큰 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 자동 출석체크가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 시스템의 초기 도입 비용을 줄이기 위해서 비콘 기반의 스마트 출석관리 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템은 학생들이 소지하고 있는 스마트폰을 출석체크에 활용함으로써 강의실에 설치된 비콘 이외에 추가적인 단말기나 ID 카드 등이 필요하지 않다. 또한, 강의실에 부착된 비콘과 스마트폰 간에 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) 통신을 통하여 출석정보를 자동으로 수집하고 실시간으로 파악하도록 함으로써 강의의 질을 높일 수 있도록 하였다.

Currently, the technique of identifying location using radio wave fingerprint is widely used in indoor positioning field. At this time, in order to confirm a successful position, it is necessary to construct the data necessary for learning and testing and to construct the multidimensional data. That is, location data collection and data management technology capable of responding to environmental changes that may occur due to various changes in peripheral radio wave fingerprint such as wireless AP, BLE iBeacon, and mobile terminal are required. Therefore, this paper proposes a technique to construct and manage multidimensional data which is less sensitive to environmental changes of radio wave fingerprinting required for positioning.
