This purpose of this study is to propose the characteristics analysis of the PCB pattern designed two modes for the output voltage value on the PMIC through converting the limited voltage value inputted from a battery. The PCB design technology has been undergoing difficulty in getting the related technology in a domestic market because of increasing EMI/EMC, Cross-talk, Impedance. And it requires to have the appropriate clearance between the patterns and the technology of PCB pattern width with a amperage according to various uses. The study carried out the characteristics analysis of the PCB pattern designed from a direct output method without a capacitor[mode1], to an output method through a capacitor[mode2] for PMIC output voltage value. Besides, we calculated the pattern width with a amperage using the equation suggested by IPC-2221, presenting the right way of the layout design to analyze the trouble with the test. Therefore, this study is expected to contribute not only to applying the PMIC design for the mobile panel power supply, but also helping the design and application technology in various areas such as car control, camera, note-book, computer, PDA, etc.

Due to remarkable market growth of smart devices, higher performance and more functionalities are required for a core system-on-chip (SoC), and thus the power demand is rapidly increasing. However, aggressive shrink of CMOS transistor have brought severe process variations thereby adversely affected the performance and power consumption under strict power constraint. Voltage binning (VB) scheme is one of the effective post silicon tuning techniques, which can reduce parametric yield loss due to process variations by adjusting supply voltage. In this paper, an optimal supply voltage tuning based voltage binning technique is proposed to reduce average power without an additional yield loss. Considering the different LVCC margins of process corners along with speed and leakage characteristics, the proposed method can optimize the deviation of voltage margin and thus save power consumption. When applying on a 30nm mobile SoC product, the experimental results showed that the proposed technique reduced average power consumption up to 6.8% compared to traditional voltage binning under the same conditions.

In this paper, we propose a monitoring method of smartphone to integrate IoT technology to monitor the state of the vehicle for fault diagnosis of E-Mobility power converter. In China, EV regulations are being implemented to promote technological development and market changes in electric vehicles. To meet this trend, E-Mobility should study suitable monitoring technology. The OBD-II method used in existing automobiles is a wired / wireless communication method. In order to apply it to E-Mobility, additional interface and communication link are required. In this paper, we propose a technology to monitor the status information of power converter for E-Mobility by combining existing technology with IoT. This technology simplifies the existing network protocol and hardware interface, and confirms that the E-Mobility power converter and smartphone can be interworked for easy user monitoring. And we have done research to make high value product design from the aspect of function.

Car-sharing services are one of the successful model of sharing economies. The car-sharing service is a kind of car rental service that can pay the cost per minutes, also can makes it easy to book and return by smart phone at any time. Experts predict that the car-sharing services will likely dominate the auto market in the future by reducing the burden on consumers' purchasing cost of car and resolving the environmental issues caused by the vehicle. Therefore, a differentiated service strategy is needed to establish a competitive caching service among these companies. In this study, we surveyed differentiation cases by comparing and analyzing domestic caching companies, And customized service tailored to the situation and effective vehicle type infotainment. As a result of this study, the proposed service method change, customized service provision, and new platform application are expected to be detailed and in depth.

Recently mobile application providers and telecommunication companies went through a difficult time in a highly competitive mobile and its application market where we've seen a huge trend for diverse mobile applications occurring on smart phone. If there were a time when those of companies need to analyze factors affecting users' intention to download or recommend others applications more than ever, it is now. Based on UTAUT model, this research is to provide them with strategic implications by analyzing those factors according to application types with utilization and hedonic values. As a result, firstly trust and personalization have positive impact on Performance Expectancy and users' intention to use have been significantly affected by Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy. Secondly the result of path analysis has a different outcome according to application types with utilization and hedonic values. Therefore it is expected that the research gives practical and strategic implication for application developer, mobile companies and others helping application development, new service launch and marketing implementation.

The former people who made musical instruments used touch devices for sound control. As the first multi-touch system appeared in 1982, the performance of the system has been improved rapidly by many researches. In spite of such performance improvement, the popularization of multi-touch interface was looked difficult. However, in 2007, multi-touch interfaces have become popular with Apple Iphone and people have been able to experience easily multi-touch interface using smart phones. In this paper we propose a general-purpose multi-touch interaction system for multi-touch content producer and market invigoration of multi-touch interface. We show by real field tests that the proposed method has benefits in the aspects of price and performance compared with other techniques.

Currently, e-textile market is rapidly expanding and the emerging area of e-textiles requires electrically conductive threads for diverse applications, including wearable innovative e-textiles that can transmit/receive and display data with a variety of functions. This study introduces hybrid nano-structures which may help increase the conductivity of the textile threads for use in wearable and flexible smart apparels. For this aim, Ag was selected as a conductive material, and yarn treatment was implemented where silver nanowire (AgNW) and graphene flake (GF) hybrid structures overcome the limitations of the AgNW alone. The yarn treatment includes several treatment conditions, e.g., annealing temperature, annealing time, binder material such as polyurethane (PU), coating time, in order to search for the optimum method to form stable conductive nano-scale composite materials as thin film on the surface of textile yarns. Treatedyarns showed improved electrical resistance readings. The functionality of the spandex yarn as a stretchable conductive thread was also demonstrated. When the yarn specimens were treated with colloid of AgNW/GF, relatively good electrical conductivity value was obtained. During the extension and recovery cycles of the treated yarns, the initial resistance values did not deteriorate significantly, since the network of nanowire structure with the support of GF and polyurethane stayed flexible and stable. Through this research, it was found that when one-dimensional structure of AgNW and two-dimensional structure of GF were mixed as colloids and treated on the surface of textile yarns, flexible and stretchable electrical conductor could be formed.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized as the market where various companies compete for the same consumers. Thus, there are differences in functions and performance provided by the main business area and other characteristics of the service providers. This paper investigates whether satisfaction with the service provided depends on the characteristics of the operator by using sentiment analysis of comments. To achieve this goal, word importance analysis and sensitivity analysis are conducted on 34,310 reviews of 41 applications registered in the Google Play. The review analysis was conducted at various levels, including TD-IDF (Term frequency-inverse document frequency) value of keywords, service sectors, the origin of providers, and domestic/foreign providers. The results show that users' overall assessment of IoT services was found to be low, and smart homes received relatively high reviews compared to other services, and manufacturing-based and overseas providers received relatively higher evaluations than others.
