Lately smartphone uasage is increasing and many Internet of Things (IoT) devices support wireless communications. Accordingly, small base stations which called femtocells are supplied to prevent saturation of existing base stations. However, unlike the original purpose of the femtocell with the advanced hacking technologies, Vulnerability such as gaining the administrator authority was discovered and this can cause serious problems such as the leakage of personal information of femtocell user. Therefore, identify security threats that may occur in the femtocell and it is necessary to ways for systematic vulnerability analysis. In this paper, We analyzed the security threats that can be generated in the femtocell and constructed a checklist for vulnerability analysis using the Threat Modeling method. Then, using the constructed checklist provides a scheme that can improve the safety of the femto cell through the actual analysis and taken the results of the femtocell vulnerabilities analysis.

As people are taking part in more versatile social activities, it becomes more frequent and more important for people to share personal information each other in appropriate level. Unfortunately, although the rapid spread of smart devices and advance of network technologies have brought many applications for information sharing into our hands, they do not provide effective mechanism for sharing personal information on collocated people. In this paper, we introduce an android application named WhoAmI which provides the functionality of sharing personal information on nearby users over Wi-Fi Direct as well as Wi-Fi network environment. According to the predefined access level such as business, community or friend, WhoAmI naturally provides profile information to accessible users. In addition, the information such as music, photo, movie can be effectively shared through the application.

One of technologies that make it possible for users to enjoy always-on Internet service using potable devices does be Wifi. However, users frequently feel its connection is not stable or its speed becomes slow. On the other hand, users see multiple available Wifi access points exist often. In this paper, we present a smartphone application, called to WiSMax, that periodically changes its Wifi connection to the best one among available Wifi access points to maximize its speed. Experimental results show that WiSMax presents faster Internet connection than IEEE802.11 as much as about fifteen percent and higher signal strength than IEEE802.11 as much as about five dBm.

With the spread of smartphones containing multiple on-board sensors, the market for context aware applications have grown. However, due to the limited power capacity of a smartphone, users feel discontented QoS. Additionally, context aware applications require the utilization of many forms of context and sensing information. If context transition has occurred, types of needed sensors must be changed and each sensor modules need to turn on/off. In addition, excessive sensing has been found when the context decision is ambiguous. In this paper, we focus on power consumption associated with the context transition that occurs during indoor/outdoor detection, modeling the activities of the sensor associated with these contexts. And we suggest a freezing algorithm that reduces power consumption in context transition. We experiment with a commercial application that service is indoor/outdoor location tracking, measure power consumption in context transition with and without the utilization of the proposed method. We find that proposed method reduces power consumption about 20% during context transition.

The smart home is a technology that can monitor and control by connecting everything to a communication network in various fields such as home appliances, energy consumers, and security devices. The Smart home is developing not only automatic control but also learning situation and user's taste and providing the result accordingly. This paper proposes a model that can provide a comfortable indoor environment control service for the user's characteristics by detecting the user's behavior as well as the automatic remote control service. The whole system consists of ESP 8266 with sensor and Wi-Fi, Firebase as a real-time database, and a smartphone application. This model is divided into functions such as learning mode when the home appliance is operated, learning control through learning results, and automatic ventilation using indoor and outdoor sensor values. The study used moving averages for temperature and humidity in the control of home appliances such as air conditioners, humidifiers and air purifiers. This system can provide higher quality service by analyzing and predicting user's characteristics through various machine learning and deep learning.

Users who use smartphone can using knowledge-based authentication, possession-based authentication, biometric-based authentication, and token-based authentication in order to access rights to systems requiring authentication. However, desktop computer users use method only ID and password, which are knowledge-based authentication factors, due to limitations of authentication devices, despite various authentication methods. In this paper, we designed and implemented a raspberry pi based authentication system that provides multiple authentication method of a user's desired type. The implementation system uses knowledge-based authentication, possessive-based authentication, biometric-based authentication, and token-based authentication. The proposed system can provide a security function that can be used by SMEs, which is difficult to hire a security officer due to the economic burden. The implemented system can be used not only for personal use but also for enterprise, and it can be applied to various fields such as finance and game.

Measurement of flow rate is required in various fields. Water meters are often used at home, and flow meters are used in water and sewage plants, petrochemical industries and so on.. A system is needed to monitor the flow rate in real time and notify immediately when flow rate is abnormal. Recently, with the development of the IoT it is possible to construct such devices at low cost. WeMos can be programmed with Arduino IDE as a mini wifii IoT module. The flow sensor can output a digital pulse proportional to the flow rate. In this paper, we developed the flow monitoring and warning system using WeMos and IoT technology. When the system operates, it calculates the flow rate, sends the value as JSON format to the server, monitors the flow rate as graph from the remote with the smartphone. We also implement the system to promptly send alert message to the smart phone using Pushbullet when the flow rate is abnormal.

With the development of medical care in the 21st century and the rapid development of the 4th industry, electronic devices and household goods taking into account the physical and mental aging of the silver generation have been developed, and apps related to health and health are generally developed and operated. The apps currently used by the silver generation are a form that provides information on diseases by focusing on prevention rather than treatment, such as safety management apps for the elderly living alone and methods for preventing diseases. There are not many apps that provide information on foods that have a direct effect and nutrients in that food, and research on apps that can obtain information about individual foods is insufficient. In this paper, we propose an app that analyzes food factors and provides self-medication for health promotion of the silver generation. This app allows the silver generation to conveniently and easily obtain information such as nutrients, calories, and efficacy of food they need. In addition, this app collects/categorizes healthy food information through a textom solution-based crawling agent, and stores highly relevant words in a data resource. In addition, wide deep learning was applied to enable self-medication recommendations for food. When this technique is applied, the most appropriate healthy food is suggested to people with similar eating patterns and tastes in the same age group, and users can receive recommendations on customized healthy foods that they need before eating. This made it possible to obtain convenient healthy food information through a customized interface for the elderly through a smartphone.
