In digital TV broadcasting, such as terrestrial, cable, satellite, and IPTV, the head-end of digital TV broadcasting has a more complicated transmission structure than that of analog TV broadcasting. Furthermore, digital TV broadcasting has a feature that supports multiplex models, such as Multiple Program Transport Stream (MPTS). Therefore, the purpose of our work was to design and examine a more efficient new system of emergency alert message transmission to support the digital TV broadcasting environments. Digital TV broadcasting is the IP generation or RF transmission of 8-VSB, QAM, and QPSK modulated through a multiplexer or re-multiplexer multiplexed stream as a MPEG-2 Transport Stream after content encoding. The new system proposed in this paper transmits an emergency alert message without scrambling after replacing the PID and payload of the -packet with the message prototype in the TS stream from the multiplexer. If we need to transmit an emergency alert message under digital TV broadcasting services, then the receiver first checks the PID of each packet in the TS stream for the emergency alert message. Next, if a packet is determined to be an emergency alert message, then the set-top box displays the message on the TV screen using its function of On Screen Display, or the PC based software displays the message on the monitor screen using its function of overlay with user interface if the packet is found to be an emergency alert message. We have designed an emergency alert message protocol and a system model. By experiments and analysis of the system, we concluded that the system achieved efficiency and the ability to send and receive emergency alert messages using the system under different digital TV broadcasting service environments.

The functional behavior of a portable consumer electronic (PCE) product is nearly all expressed with human-machine interaction (HMI) tasks. Although physical prototyping and computer aided design (CAD) software can show the appearance of the product, they cannot properly reflect its functional behavior. In this paper, we propose a virtual prototyping (VP) system that incorporates virtual reality and HMI functional simulation in order to enables users to capture not only the realistic look of a PCE product but also its functional behavior. We obtain geometric part models of the product and their assembly and kinematics information with the help of CAD and reverse engineering tools, and visualize them with various display tools. We adopt state transition methodology to capture the HMI functional behavior of the product into a state transition chart, which is later used to construct a finite state machine (FSM) for the functional simulation of the product. The FSM plays an important role to control the transition between states of the product. The proposed VP system receives input events such as mouse clicks on buttons and switches of the virtual prototype model, and it reacts to the events based on the FSM by activating associated activities. The VP system provides the realistic visualization of the product and the vivid simulation of its functional behavior. It can easily allow users to perform functional evaluation and usability testing. Moreover, it can greatly reduce communication errors occurring in a typical product development process. A case study about VP of an MP3 player is given to show the usefulness of the proposed VP system.

The smart watch is the most popular wearable computing device because it takes a form of wristwatch. Many smart watches have adopted the touch screen interface due to the limited size of display. This paper focuses on touch key size and spacing that affect the usability about the touch key of smart watch. The experiments were made for four touch key sizes (width${\times}$height; $5{\times}5$, $5{\times}7$, $7{\times}5$, $7{\times}7mm$) and nine touch key spacing (vertical${\times}$horizontal; $0{\times}0$, $0{\times}1$, $0{\times}3$, $1{\times}0$, $1{\times}1$, $1{\times}3$, $3{\times}0$, $3{\times}1$, $3{\times}3mm$). The completion time, error rate, control discomfort and identification discomfort were measured. The touch key size $7{\times}7$, $7{\times}5$ and the touch key spacing $3{\times}3$, $1{\times}3$ provided the best results in terms of the completion time and the control discomfort, while the square touch key ($7{\times}7$, $5{\times}5$) provided the best performance for the error rate measure. The result of this study can help ergonomically design the touch interface of the smart watch.

In existing internet, e-mail protocols including POP3 and IMAP4, provide e-mail services fir exchanging messages with texts, hypertext and images as well. For the e-mail services in wireless mobile network, mobile e-mail service providers have to install a mobile exclusive e-mail server or have to convert e-mail to mobile exclusive e-mail with wireless application format in case of POP3 protocol. In the e-mail service of IMAP4 case known as web-mail, it is difficult to view e-mail directly from server without IMAP4 mobile client because e-mail is stored in mail server side with remote file server. In either case, it also has the problems of viewing the e-mail of hypertext and image information at mobile. This paper provides e-mail extraction engine with image and hypertext conversion facilities that can be applied in wireless mobile internet and it is optimized in mobile communication environments such as a small display, small size of memory with web-mail protocol based on IMAP4 as well as POP3 mail protocol.

A rapid development of Internet is changing users' desire from existing static contents to dynamic and diverse ones. Thus the SVG provides more affluent and sophisticated graphic expressions than an existing method based on bitmap, it can faithfully display vector graphics without scarifying any functions or the problem of device compatibility. In addition, it allows indexing, searching, storing, and sharing by the description of the logical structure of graphics. Since there are, however, very few people who know the complex SVG syntax and make use it, an editing system, which enables users to utilize the SVG graphics easily, has been in need. Therefore, in this thesis, we do research on basic technology on the SVG, design and make an editing system for SVG documents. The system, therefore, provides uses with a user-friendly editing interface and enables them to write graphic objects easily, and generates complex SVG documents automatically.

Even though the fabrication methods of metal oxide based thin film capacitor have been well established such as RF sputtering, Sol-gel, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), an applicable capacitor of printed circuit board (PCB) has not realized yet by these methods. Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) and other high-k ceramic oxides are important materials used in integrated passive devices, multi-chip modules (MCM), high-density interconnect, and chip-scale packaging. Thin film multi-layer technology is strongly demanded for having high capacitance (120 nF/$mm^2$). In this study, we suggest novel multi-layer thin film capacitor design and fabrication technology utilized by plasma assisted deposition and photolithography processes. Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) was used for the dielectric material since it has high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. 5-layered BST and Pt thin films with multi-layer sandwich structures were formed on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by RF-magnetron sputtering and DC-sputtering. Pt electrodes and BST layers were patterned to reveal internal electrodes by photolithography. SiO2 passivation layer was deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). The passivation layer plays an important role to prevent short connection between the electrodes. It was patterned to create holes for the connection between internal electrodes and external electrodes by reactive-ion etching (RIE). External contact pads were formed by Pt electrodes. The microstructure and dielectric characteristics of the capacitors were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and impedance analyzer, respectively. In conclusion, the 0402 sized thin film multi-layer capacitors have been demonstrated, which have capacitance of 10 nF. They are expected to be used for decoupling purpose and have been fabricated with high yield.

In these days, due to generalization of using smart mobile phone and wearable device such as smart watch, demand of Cover-glass and touch screen panel for protecting display increases. With increasing the demand of Cover-glass, slimming technique is promising for weight lightening, zero bezel. Cover-glass produced by this technique is required to decreasing thickness with increase strength. In the Cover-glass manufacturing process, mechanical processing and chemical processing has improve in the strength. Generally, Diamond electrodeposition wheel is used in mechanical process. Reinforced glass with the characteristics of the brittle and high hardness was manufactured by using a diamond electrodeposition wheel. At this time, Because of surface of the tool present non-uniform distribution of diamond particle, it has generate Loading of wheel and it has been decrease life of grinding tool, efficiency of grinding, quality and shape accuracy of workpiece. Thus Research is needed to controling particle distribution of diamond electrodeposition wheel uniformly. And it is necessary to study micro hole machining such as proximity senser hole, speaker hole positioned Cover-glass.

Today, visitors of art galleries like to share their life in their communities than interacting with artwork. Meantime, image sharing of an exhibition on social media has become more important than actual watching of the artwork. Accordingly, most of the galleries have started paying more attention in organizing an exhibition environment for proof-shots to attract more visitors. We initially conducted research about the internet environment from the late 1990s to the recent years and analyzed the changing watching patterns of the exhibition since the advent of social media. Secondly, for empirical case analysis, we selected 'Plastic Fantastic' held in D-Museum as the target of analysis. The analysis targeted 500 recent postings that were discovered on Instagram on March 4, 2018, as 'Plastic-Fantastic'(in Korean). The methods of analysis included classification types of image, hashtag, and text on Instagram and were arranged in an order of relation to the exhibits. Based on the image analysis, 44.2% of the images involved exhibition displays; the others included a person or other goods. Based on the results of the text and hashtag analysis, only 3.6% of posting included information about the exhibition and 56.4% had non-related inflow hashtags only with image. The behavior of these shares is likely to gradually lose the inherent meaning of the exhibition and to the value rather than imparting the artistic thrill that viewers derive from art. Exhibition should try to seek deep interaction between the display, audience, and social media users, rather than encouraging the visitors to take proof-shots.
