최근 모바일 기기 보급의 확산과 관련 기술의 발전으로 인해 사용자의 편의를 제공하는 다양한 서비스들이 제공되고 있다. 이러한 서비스 중에서 대표적인 것으로 사용자의 이동 경로를 파악하고 예측하여 알맞은 위치기반서비스(Location-based Service; LBS)를 제공하는 것이다. 위치기반서비스를 제공하기 위한 가장 핵심 기술은 사용자의 이동 경로를 파악하는 것인데, 기존의 이동 경로 파악 기술은 이전의 이동 경로 자료를 기반으로 현재 이동 경로를 유추하였다. 그러나 이전의 이동 경로 자료가 점점 증가함에 따라 방대한 자료를 보관하고 가공하는데 많은 비용이 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동 경로를 예측하기 위한 방법으로 사용자가 일정 지점에 머무는 시간 정보, 이동 거리 그리고 다른 사용자와의 소통 정보를 활용한다. 이 정보들을 활용하여 사용자에게 의미 있는 장소를 추출하고 이를 기반으로 사용자의 이동 경로를 예측할 때, 기존 방법과 비교하여 적은 비용으로 효과적인 경로 예측을 할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 실내에서의 위치추적을 위해 가속도 센서와 각속도 센서를 이용한 위치추적기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 실내 위치추적기법은 전파의 세기를 이용하여 위치추적을 수행하는 RSSI기법과 초음파를 이용한 방법이 제시되었다. 하지만 기존 실내위치추적 기법에서는 좌표 값을 알고 있는 고정된 노드를 필수적으로 사용해야하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 보완하기위하여 착용형 노드에 가속도센서와 각속도 센서를 부착하고 이동속도와 방향을 계측하여 실내에서의 위치추적을 수행하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 3축 가속도 센서와 2축의 각속도 센서를 사용하였으며, 센서로부터 출력되는 아날로그신호를 계측 및 무선전송하기 위하여 Zigbee기반의 무선 센서노드를 사용하였다. 무선센서노드로부터 측정된 가속도신호와 각속도 신호의 분석을 통해 실내위치추적 가능성을 평가하였으며, 평가 결과 가속도센서와 각속도 센서를 이용한 실내위치추적의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Sptaio-temporal databases are important to store the real-time location information of large spatio-temporal objects efficiently and retrieve them rapidly. Accordingly necessity for spatio-temporal database system that can manage spatial information, aspatial information and temporal information of spatio-temporal objects is increasing. Sptaio-temporal databases are important to store the real-time location information of large spatio-temporal objects efficiently and retrieve them rapidly. Accordingly necessity for spatio-temporal database system that can manage spatial information, aspatial information and temporal information of spatio-temporal objects is increasing. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal data model that is able to efficiently manage historical spatio-temporal objects that change dynamically their states as time. Also, various spatio-temporal operations and constraint conditions are defined to keep integrity of spatio-temporal data and spatio-temporal operations.

The problem of missing child is a social problem. It became a social problem that all parents must consider. These social and public sector issues need urgent improvement. There are many studies on the problem of preventing missing child worldwide as an area of increasing interest. However, in the past, mainly the method of monitoring the position information of the child depending on the equipment was mainly tried. In addition to this method, a method of learning local information is required. In this paper, we propose the game "Save the village," a flight shooting game based on the player's location information and local information. It is expected that it will be possible to learn local information naturally through this game. It is also expected that children will be able to cope with the situation without embarrassing or confusing even in a strange area.

The web search engines are exposed to the issue of uncertainty because of ambiguous queries, being input for retrieving the accurate results. Ambiguous queries constitute a significant fraction of such instances and pose real challenges to web search engines. Moreover, web search has created an interest for the researchers to deal with search by considering context in terms of location perspective. Our proposed disambiguation approach is designed to improve user experience by using context in terms of location relevance with the document relevance. The aim is that providing the user a comprehensive location perspective of a topic is informative than retrieving a result that only contains temporal or context information. The capacity to use this information in a location manner can be, from a user perspective, potentially useful for several tasks, including user query understanding or clustering based on location. In order to carry out the approach, we developed a Java based prototype to derive the contextual information from the web results based on the queries from the well-known datasets. Among those results, queries are further classified in order to perform search in a broad way. After the result provision to users and the selection made by them, feedback is recorded implicitly to improve the web search based on contextual information. The experiment results demonstrate the outstanding performance of our approach in terms of precision 75%, accuracy 73%; recall 81% and f-measure 78% when compared with generic temporal evaluation approach and furthermore achieved precision 86%, accuracy 71%; recall 67% and f-measure 75% when compared with web document clustering approach.

Recently MIP becomes more important for the macro mobility support in the emergence of the global system such as IMT-2000. However this Protocol suffers from many weaknesses on the location management. MIPv4 regional registration is presented for the local registration of MNs. MIPv6 can benefit from the reduced mobility signaling with external networks by employing a local MAP, that is called HMIPv6. The total signaling cost of HMIPv6 is rapidly increased by the number of CNs of an MN when the MN moves around between MAPs. In this paper, we propose a new location management scheme in MIPv6 that reduces the total signaling cost in the location update based on HMIPv6 Here the MN does not send the BU to CNs and HA when it moves around between MAPs. Instead it informs the current location by transferring the modified BU to the previous MAP. According to the results of the performance analysis, we determine the upper bound for the number of forwarding links allowed among adjacent MAPs without the BU information.

In this paper, we design and implement an intelligent system for finding objects with RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) tag in which an mobile robot can do. The system we developed is a learning system of artificial neural network that uses RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) value as input and absolute coordination value as target. Although a passive RFID is used for location estimation, we consider an active RFID for expansion of recognition distance. We design the proposed system and construct the environment for indoor location estimation. The designed system is implemented with software and the result related learning is shown at test bed. We show various experiment results with similar environment of real one from earning data generation to real time location estimation. The accuracy of location estimation is verified by simulating the proposed method with allowable error. We prepare local test bed for indoor experiments and build a mobile robot that can find the objects user want.

In multi-regional mobile agent computing environments, spatial replication-based approach may be used as a representative mobile agent fault-tolerance technique because it allows agent execution to make progress without blocking even in case of agent failures. However, to apply this approach to real mobile agent-based computing systems, it is essential to minimize the overhead of locating and managing mobile agents replicated on each stage. This paper presents a new mobile agent location management protocol SRLM to solve this problem. The proposed protocol allows only the primary among all the replicated workers of each stage to register with its regional server and then, significantly reduces its location updating and message delivery overheads compared with the previous protocols. Also, the protocol addresses the location management problem incurred by electing the new primary among the remaining workers at a stage in case of the primary worker's failure.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the key technologies that make it possible to provide u-service in a ubiquitous society, however, it has disadvantages such as difficulty of managing sensor nodes and weaknesses of stability or mobility in large-scale WSNs. In order to solve these problems, 6LoWPAN that integrates with WSNs and IP networks has been studied widely. In this paper, we propose a Location Tracking Service Based on Google Map (LTSGM) system using 6LoWPAN. Since LTSGM system provides visual location information of sensor nodes through Google Map, it is possible to makes it easier than ever to manage sensor nodes in large-scale WSNs. Moreover, LTSGM can be used for various services such as applications for disaster or crime because it can trace the location of mobile nodes. Implementation of LTSGM system will be a test platform for 6LoWPAN.
