ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29WG11 MPEG has been standardizing UD(user description) to give a user personalized recommendation services. Besides, CD(context description), service description(SD), and recommendation description(RD) are recently being standardized by UD Adhoc Group in MPEG with an advanced UD to cope with needs of current and upcoming services such as augmented reality and social network. The descriptions was reflected to MPEG-UD WD(Working Draft) at MPEG $107^{th}$ meeting and the document was finally approved as international standard by national bodies with standard number(ISO/IEC IS 21000-22 UD) at $114^{th}$ MPEG meeting. In addition, reference software WD to validate conformance of UD standard was approved at $113^{th}$ MPEG meeting. In this paper, we developed a demo program for visual communication according to guideline defined in reference software WD to validate the reference software as well as UD standard.

The MPEG user description (MPEG-UD) which is a standard under exploration to ensure interoperability among customized recommendation services has been contributed since MPEG $104^{th}$ meeting at 2013. Twenty-two use cases that were divided into different applications have been proposed in the MEPG meetings. Most of use cases were referred to specific and restricted regarding to applications, it appears to miss an overall and explicit infra-structure. In this paper we describe a reference model, namely methodology to overcome aforementioned problems. Thereafter, we have applied reference model to context-based recommendation system to demonstrate the methodology and MPEG-UD schemas. In addition, we propose a development process of recommendation system in compliance with MPEG-UD.

Providing personalized services customized to users' needs and preferences becomes highlighted as a key area of user-context computing. It is essential for context-aware technology to be developed more intelligent and meaningful services by being widely applied to a variety of sectors and domains. SDO (Standard Development Organization) such as MPEG and W3C has been actively developed to be standardized services and to improve context-awareness services. Yet current standards related to context-aware technology, such as MPEG-7, MPEG-21, MPEG-V, and emotionML, are not capable enough to support various systems and diverse services. Against this backdrop, the MPEG User Description, referred to also as MPEG-UD Standard, is to ensure interoperability among recommendation services, which take into account user's context when generating recommendations to users. In this light, we introduce standards related to the user context and propose the structure for RD-Engine and the Remote Responsive User Interface(RRUI) system in reference to MPEG-UD. This system collects unit resources matching specific condition according to the user's contexts described by MPEG-UD. In so doing, it improves adaptive user interface considering device features in real-time. By automatically generating adaptive user interfaces tailored to an individual's contexts, the proposed system aims to achieve high-quality user experience for a complex service.

Recently released digital devices have various characteristics such as different screen sizes or different sensors embedded, according to the purpose of their use. So the device types are fragmented and the software should be independently developed for each devices with different characteristics. RRUI are being developed and standardized in progress to provide UI using user information and context information, as one way of solving the device fragmentation. In this paper, we take a look at various standards that classify and utilize user information and context information for RRUI and try to find correlations between MPEG-UD and RRUI.

최근 full-HD 3D 방송, UD(ultra-definition) 영상 서비스, mobile device 향 양방향 HD급 화상통신 등 기존 영상 서비스의 품질을 월등히 향상시키고자 하는 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 기고에서는 기존 H.264/AVC 영상 압축 표준의 성능을 2배 이상 향상시키는 것을 목표로 진행 중인 새로운 차세대 영상 압축 표준인 HEVC(high-efficiency video coding; MPEG-H/H.265)의 표준화 동향을 소개한다. 또한, 현재 HEVC test-model (HM) version 1을 구성하고 있는 요소 기술들을 결정하기 위해 진행되었던 성능 평가 과정에 대해 간략하게 소개하고, 마지막으로 HM의 전반적 구성 및 현재 성능 수준에 대한 평가결과를 보인다.

UHDTV와 UD 스마트폰의 보급을 앞두고 고해상도, 고화질의 영상에 대한 요구가 더욱 커지고 있다. 2013년 1월 국제표준으로 승인된 차세대 비디오 코덱인 HEVC는 현재 국제표준 코덱인 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC보다 50% 이상 높은 압축률을 지원하게 되어 향후 방송은 물론 스마트폰 등 디지털 영상의 새로운 혁신적인 기술이 될 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 HEVC 기술의 동향과 전망에 대해 살펴본다.

Various personalized services are provided based on user context these days, and IoT(Internet of Things) devices provides effective ways to collect user context. For example, user's activity such as walking steps, calories, and sleeping hours can be collected using smart activity tracker. Smart scale can sense change of user's weight or body fat percentage. However, these services are independent to each other and not easy to make them collaborate. Many standard bodies are working on the documents for this issue, but due to diversity of IoT use case scenarios, it seems that multiple IoT technologies co-exist for the time being. This paper propose a framework to collaborate heterogeneous IoT services. The proposed framework provides methods to build application for heterogeneous IoT devices and user context management in more intuitive way using HTTP. To improve compatibility and usability, gathered user contexts are based on MPEG-UD. Implementation of framework and service with real-world devices are also presented.
