Digital broadcasting technology has developed focusing on multi-channel/multi-media, high-definition quality, and mobility-support. Recently, there has been a clear trend toward bidirectional service with the convergence between broadcasting and communication. The broadcasting viewer is no longer simply a passive receptor but has also become an information generator. Currently, the digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) specifications are the major standard for portable digital broadcasting and have been establishing the overall guidelines for bidirectional service using the MPEG-4 system. While detailed specifications for DMB systems are not well-established for bidirectional service yet, they share the basic concepts underlying the European Eureka-147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system. This paper develops key scenarios for bidirectional service in DMB, describes the signal transaction of broadcasting and return channels, and demonstrates typical scenarios using binary format for scenes (BIFS) in the MPEG-4 system.

Increase in the number of older people due to demographic changes poses great challenges to the social healthcare systems both in the Western and as well as in the Eastern countries. Support for older people by formal care givers leads to enormous temporal and personal efforts. Therefore, one of the most important goals is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of today's care. This can be achieved by the use of assistive technologies. These technologies are able to increase the safety of patients or to reduce the time needed for tasks that do not relate to direct interaction between the care giver and the patient. Motivated by this goal, this contribution focuses on applications of acoustic technologies to support users and care givers in ambient assisted living (AAL) scenarios. Acoustic sensors are small, unobtrusive and can be added to already existing care or living environments easily. The information gathered by the acoustic sensors can be analyzed to calculate the position of the user by localization and the context by detection and classification of acoustic events in the captured acoustic signal. By doing this, possibly dangerous situations like falls, screams or an increased amount of coughs can be detected and appropriate actions can be initialized by an intelligent autonomous system for the acoustic monitoring of older persons. The proposed system is able to reduce the false alarm rate compared to other existing and commercially available approaches that basically rely only on the acoustic level. This is due to the fact that it explicitly distinguishes between the various acoustic events and provides information on the type of emergency that has taken place. Furthermore, the position of the acoustic event can be determined as contextual information by the system that uses only the acoustic signal. By this, the position of the user is known even if she or he does not wear a localization device such as a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag.

U-Publication, the Tag-Embedded publication, is one of U-Media. U-Media is defined as a media where human creates and consumes content through not only human cognitive and perceptual processes but also through the interactions between surrounding digital systems. U-Media provides information by generating, collecting, and attaching the content itself and the related information based on the interaction of the bio-systems incorporating digital information and devices embedded in humans, and surrounding objects including external digital devices. Using U-Publication, readers consume its content not only in offline but also online through a mobile RFID reader which touches and connects the URLs embedded in the RFID tags attached to it. Readers can consume the additional content though the hyperlinks attached to U-Publication and perform commercial activity as well as consumer the printed content. This paper defines the RFID-Tagged publication, proposes its related business models, and evaluates the alternative business models through a simulation study.

실내형 자율 주행 로봇에서의 가장 중요한 기술력은 IGS(indoor GPS System)라 할 수 있다. 재난로봇이나 정찰로봇, 경계로봇등 새로운 로봇의 영역이 늘어남에 따라 실내에서 로봇을 안전하게 구동시키는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존 GPS를 사용할 수 없는 실내에서, LED 조명으로 통신이 가능한 가시광통신은 실내위치 정보를 정밀히 파악하기에 적합하다. 이에 가시광통신을 이용하여 LED 조명별 기준위치를 파악하는 서로 다른 16진수의 데이터를 전송하고, 그 위치를 파악하여 LED 조명의 위치를 식별할 수 있음을 확인한다. 이러한 실험결과를 통하여 가시광통신을 이용해 실내형 자율 주행 로봇의 실내 위치 추정 시스템을 제안한다.

전체 에너지의 20% 가량을 차지하는 전기 에너지의 경우, 사용량의 증가로 그 소비를 절감하기 위한 대책 마련이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 한정된 에너지 자원에 대한 보다 높은 효율의 사용 방법의 대기 전력 절감 시스템의 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 실제 사용되지 않지만 소요되는 전력을 대기전력이라 하며 대기전력을 줄이는 것이 가장 효율적인 에너지 절감 대책이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 송신부와 수신부로 구성된 대기 전력 제어 시스템을 구현하였다.

The digitalization of a broadcast has caused the oversupply of the contents in order to fit the user's needs for various broadcast services. The massive contents could not help demanding one-sided watching without considering a taste and preference of a user. This situation is enlarging the demand about the personalized broadcast service to enable user to watch broadcast contents in anytime according to surplus provision of broadcast contents. TV-Anytime standard could be a solution for broadcast service to enable users to watch personalized broadcast contents according to their preference. The paper proposes the personalized broadcasting system for authoring, receiving and transmission of TV-Anytime metadata, the detailed information about the broadcast contents so that user could efficiently search a large of broadcast contents stored in the PDR(Personal Digital Recorder)receiver under the DCATV(Digital Cable Television) environment.

As small sized bio-sensors and digital yarns are developed, digital wear measuring vital signs can be used for individuals' health, the elderly care and sports activities. This paper discusses a database structure for analyzing stress state, pulses, positions, exercise amount of user based on vital signs measured for 24 hours measured by the wear and GPS information, and a storage for storing XML documents following a standard HL7 meta-model. By analyzing the stored information, the system identifies the stress state and exercise amount of users. Pulses, exercise intensity and emergency situations can be also detected by the system in real time. This paper discusses the implementation of a system enabling to acquire and analyze vital signals to understand user behavior patterns.

정보 가전 분야에 있어서 급속한 기술 발전으로 인해 하루가 다르게 새로운 기능이 추가됨에 따라 임베디드 시스템 소프트웨어의 크기 및 복잡도 또한 함께 증가하고 있고 이를 개발하고 유지보수 하는데 있어서도 막대한 비용과 노력이 요구된다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 소프트웨어의 재사용성을 높이기 위한 노력이 이어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 프로세스 방식 기반의 OS를 적용한 소프트웨어를 스레드 방식의 OS 기반의 소프트웨어로 전환하여 임베디드 시스템을 구현하였으며 소프트웨어 방법론으로는 스레드 방식의 OS 기반 소프트웨어에 수정된 DARTS(Design Approach to Real- Time Systems) 방법론을 적용하여 시스템을 구현하였다. 이 구현된 시스템에서 재사용성을 측정하여 표로 제시하며 그 측정 결과를 분석하였다. 그리고 스레드 방식의 OS 기반 소프트웨어에 수정된 DARTS 방법론을 적응하여 코드만 재사용이 아니라 설계방법도 재사용이 가능함을 CE 제품에 보이고자 한다.
