  • This study is about finding effects of home appliances to home furnishing. Recently, home appliances go beyond smart by technology development to show design integrated with furniture. Accordingly, this study is First, from the perspective of home furnishing, I examined the meaning of living space for millennial. Second, I investigated home appliances that recently released for millennial, and analyzed appliances trends, focused on product concepts and styling keyword. Third, conducted in-depth interview focusing on four parts : meaning of space, experience of home- furnishing, appliance and interior, feeling of current appliances. Research has shown that design considered space relevance can make home appliances the main of interior. Future studies will need to validate quantified statistical data. Through this study, I hope that will help to set the role and design direction of home appliances in the future.

  • Recently, smart home environments which provide complex services through smart appliances are becoming realized, due to the advances in connected devices and network technologies. Current smart home environments are mostly restricted, because of difficultly of integration of heterogeneous smart appliances. Therefore radical service integration is impracticable. In this paper, we analyze and implement Machine-to-Machine (M2M) standards which are established by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for integrating heterogeneous devices and services. Smart Home is one of the areas covered by ETSI M2M standards, however these standards are just standardized, so adaption and assessment in smart home are not proved yet. Therefore, this paper analyze ETSI M2M standards by focusing the data transport model and evaluate by selecting the most commonly used smart home scenarios and by implementing ETSI M2M standards compatible smart metering system. In some points ETSI M2M standards are not efficient because of its complexity of structure, however ETSI M2M provides sophisticated features for integrating M2M which are appropriate to adopt diverse smart home environments.

  • The tremendous growth of the Internet of things is unbelievable. Many IoT devices have emerged on the market over the last decade. This has made our everyday life easier inside our homes. The technology used at home has changed significantly over the past several decades, leading to what is known today as the smart home. However, this growth has also brought new challenges to our home security and privacy. With the smart home becoming more mainstream, cybersecurity issues have become a fundamental concern. The smart home is an environment where heterogeneous devices and appliances are interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide smart services to residents. These services include home climate control, energy management, video on demand, music on-demand, remote healthcare, remote control, and other similar services in a ubiquitous manner. Smart home devices can be controlled via the Internet using smartphones. However, connecting smart home appliances to wireless networks and the Internet makes individuals vulnerable to malicious attacks. Remote access within the same environment or over the Internet requires an effective access control mechanism. This paper intends to shed light on how smart home devices are working as well as the type of security and privacy threats of the smart home. It also illustrated the types of authentication methods that can be used with smart home devices. In addition, a comparison of Smart home IoT-based security protocols was presented along with a security countermeasure that can be used in a smart home environment. Finally, a few open problems were mentioned as future research directions for researchers.

  • With the progress of both wire and wireless home networking technology, various projects on smart home have been carried out in the world (Harper, 2003), and at the same time, new approaches to interact with smart home systems efficiently and effectively have also been investigated. A gesture-based interface is one of these approaches. Especially with advance of gesture recognition technologies, a variety of research studies on gesture interactions with the functions of IT devices have been conducted. However, there are few research studies which suggested and investigated the use of gestures for controlling smart home appliances. In this research the gestures for selected smart home appliances are suggested based on a user centered approach. A total of thirty-eight functions were selected, and a total of thirty participants generated gestures for each function. Based on the Nielsen (2004), Lee et al. (2010) and Kuhnel et al. (2011), the gesture with the highest frequency for each function (Top gesture) has been suggested and investigated.

  • The traditional way for convergence of smart appliances was software integrations on middleware. It is possible advantage to integrate easily and quickly with this way. But basically the middleware approach is slowly executed as it is huge the size of software. To solve this problem, we suggest a modeling tool for convergence. As we can execute and generate the automatic source code at the design phase with our modeling tool, it is possible to do software integration without the middleware. We use one example of U-Home environment to show the convergence for TV and the door lock system. With our approach, we will be able quickly to develop the convergent products what the customers desire with inexpensiveness, that is, the convergence of smart appliances without the middleware.

  • This paper is about implementation of intelligent robot based on home network. Existing robots are mainly stand alone type. Home network is spreading rapidly and can play an important role as a path for informations between appliances in home. Robot can be more intelligent and have versatile functions with a junction of home network. By distribution of tasks through home network, robot doesn't have to process every task. In addition, robot can access to appliances through network as appliances are added continuously. In the future, smart space in which robot behaves on various types of network is in expectation. In this research, home network based system which consists of home server, embedded robot, and intelligent robot is proposed and implemented.

  • Recently in the area of ICT, the M2M and IoT are in the spotlight as a cutting edge technology with the help of advancement of internet. Among those fields, the smart home is the closest area to our daily lives. Smart home has the purpose to lead a user more convenient living in the house with WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) or other short-range communication environments using automated appliances. With an arrival of the age of IoT, this can be described as one axis of a variety of applications as for the M2H (Machine to Home) field in M2M. In this paper, we propose a novel technique for estimating the location of a terminal that freely move within a specified area using the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) in the WLAN environment. In order to perform the location estimation, the Fingerprint and KNN methods are utilized and the LMS with the gradient descent method and the proposed algorithm are also used through the error correction functions for locating the real-time position of a moving user who is keeping a smart terminal. From the estimated location, the nearest fixed devices which are general electric appliances were supposed to work appropriately for self-operating of virtual smart home. Through the experiments, connection and operation success rate, and the performance results are analyzed, presenting the verification results.

  • Recently, many changes have been made to people's life patterns as the technological advances in the ICT industry. The fusion of smart phones and various IT technologies has brought people convenience and welfare. A typical example of such fusion is the smart home. However, the existing smart home systems are difficult to be changed or extended. So we design a new smart home system with extensibility that can easily adopt legacy appliances and be scaled up. Among a variety of smart home features, this paper deals with IoT Devices that are responsible for controlling power or transmitting and receiving sensing values, IoT Gateway that connects users and consumer electronics via Internet, and Smart Home Manager that monitors and controls these components in the proposed smart home system.
