It is critical that passengers should be given timely and correct escape or evacuation guidance from captain and crews when there are hazardous situations in a ship. Otherwise the consequences could be disastrous as "SEWOL Ferry" the South Korean passenger ship which sank in southern coastal area on 16th April 2014. Due to the captain's delayed evacuation decision and lack of sufficient number of crews to guide passengers' evacuation, the accident recorded many casualties, most of whom were high school students (302 passengers sank down with the ship while 172 rescued). Building a passenger ship with well-designed physical escape routes is one thing and guiding passengers to those escape routes in real disaster situation is another. Passengers get panic and move to a wrong direction, bottleneck makes situation worse, and even crews get panic also - passive static escape route signage and small number of trained crews might not be enough to take care of them. SESS (Smart Escape Support System) is being developed sponsored by South Korea Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries starting from 2016 with 4 years of roadmap. SESS comprises multiple active dynamic signage devices which communicate with real-time escape routing server software via LoRa (Long Range) proprietary wireless network.

Depending on the field of smart industry has become increasingly widespread, the digital signage industry as advertising and content industry is emerging. However, this industry is growing rapidly it is not the reason for that is lack of a legal definition or system. The current legal system merely existing laws that apply to the use of outdoor advertising such as advertising and outdoor advertising Electrical, according to a separate law on digital signage is still is not enough. Most of the current legal system between a size that it is put in the control object, its type, the installation location and details and locations of areas in accordance with the regulation member of the law which can reduce the effectiveness of such a business to control them collectively There is concern that the differences are caused by unification can be difficult. In reality, the institutions of the new law was necessary, organized under the existing regulation rather than promoting new laws to screen the effectiveness of the national business media industry through a kind of standardization and unification of the digital signage industry in the future creation of a jurisdiction other than safety administration Science It is important to foster.

'스마트 기술(smart tech)'과 '도시화(urbanization)'라는 두 메가트렌드(megatrends)를 융합해 탄생한 스마트시티(smart city)가 전 세계적인 화두다. 스마트시티의 성장 가운데서 핵심적인 요소가 바로 '도시의 다양한 요소가 미디어(媒體, media)의 기능을 하는 커뮤니케이션이 중심이 된 도시'라는 점이다. 특히 메타버스 기술이 스마트시티에 접목되고 있음에 주목해야 한다. '초월'이라는 의미의 '메타(meta)'와 우주를 뜻하는 '유니버스(universe)'의 합성어인 메타버스(Metaverse)는 1992년 닐 스티븐슨(Neal Stephenson)의 소설 《스노우 크래쉬》에서 유래한 개념이라고 알려져 있다[1]. 메타버스는 정의하는 연구자에 따라서 크게 다르지만 흔히 '가상의 것(virtual thing)'으로 한정하는 경향이 있다. 하지만 최근에는 메타버스가 정치·경제·사회·문화 전반적 측면에서 오프라인의 현실과 온라인의 비현실 모두 공존할 수 있는 생활형·게임형 가상 융합 세계라는 의미로 보다 광의적으로 사용되고 있다. 최근 스마트시티의 변화를 보면 도시 운영이 고도로 지능화되고 다양한 콘텐츠가 증강되면서 <<도시 공간에서의 온라인과 오프라인의 경계 구분>>을 파괴하고 있음을 발견할 수 있다. 우리는 과거와 다름없이 물리적 도시 공간을 걷고 있지만 이제는 지형지물과 연결된 공간정보를 스마트폰으로 확인하고 또 도심의 디지털 사이니지(digital signage)를 통해 실시간 공공 및 상업 정보에 항시적으로 접하고 있다. 도시의 지향점으로 간주되는 스마트시티는 이제 일종의 '도시민 생활 플랫폼'으로 메타버스 기술과 융합 콘텐츠를 통해 도시민의 생활을 촘촘하게 연결한다. 본고에서는 '스마트시티가 메타버스 미디어 공간으로 기능하는 현상'을 '테코레이션(Tecoration: Technology + Decoration: 디지털 미디어 기술을 통한 도시 공간구축)'이라고 명명하려고 한다. 본고는 '메타버스 미디어 공간으로서 스마트시티 그리고 디지털 사이니지 테코레이션'을 주제로 '디지털 사이니지가 만들어 가는 스마트시티의 소통'과 관련된 주요 이슈를 다루려고 한다.

Audiovisual (AV) facilities such as TVs and signage are installed in various public places. However, audio cannot be used to prevent noise and interference from individuals, which results in a loss of concentration and understanding of AV content. To address this problem, a total technique for remotely listening to audio from audiovisual facilities with clean sound quality while maintaining video and lip-syncing through personal smart mobile devices is proposed in this paper. Through the experimental results, the proposed scheme has been verified to reduce system power consumption by 8% to 16% and provide real-time processing with a low latency of 120 ms. The system described in this paper will contribute to the activation of audio telehearing services as it is possible to provide audio remote services in various places, such as express buses, trains, wide-area and intercity buses, public waiting rooms, and various application services.

최근 효과적인 정보 전달을 위해 다양한 매체가 사용되고 있다. 이중 LED 기반의 전광판은 상업적 광고를 효율적으로 보여주는 대표적인 정보 전달 및 광고 매체 중 하나이다. 이와 같은 LED기반의 전광판은 옥외에 부착되는 경우가 많아 표시할 문구를 수정하거나 갱신하는데 어려움이 있을 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 LED 기반 전광판의 보다 손쉬운 사용을 위해 스마트 폰 애플리케이션을 이용하여 간편하게 문구를 편집하고, LED에 표출되는 효과를 설정할 수 있는 스마트 전광판을 설계하고 구현하였다. 구현된 프로토타입을 통해 제안된 스마트 전광판의 효율성과 실효성을 검증하였다.

Disasters are now becoming commonplace and especially the vulnerable group such as the disabled, the elderly, children and foreigners are in a state of overlapping disasters. In this situation, ATSC 3.0-based UHDTV disaster information service for the visually and hearing impaired has been developing. This study focuses on the demand data collected through in-depth interview with the impaired. The demand analysis data is very important to development process of technology. The results of the interview show that it is essential to link the UHDTV disaster signals with home-network, IoT, wearable devices, and various assistive devices for the impaired (hearing aid, smart light bulbs, warning light, etc.). In outdoor space, UHDTV disaster information must be connected to public display media, digital signage, kiosk, screens in bus or taxi. If communication aids for the visually and hearing impaired are equipped with a function that can transmit and receive disaster information, it will help to minimize disaster damage.

As interactive digital signages with computer network have been increasingly popular in public space, the needs for studying content types and interactions suitable for the digital signages are emerging. In this study, we aim to find out what contents are preferred to share and how to interact in the digital signage installed in Seoul subway stations. We conduct a case study, a survey, and an in-depth interview. In the case study, we collect content types which have been communicated in public space. Among these content types, we conduct a survey to find out the preferred contents of Seoul citizens. We observe that the preferred contents differ by the age of the citizens. Specifically, 20's prefer the subjects about personal interests, 40's choose public interests and 30's prefer both types. In addition, we observe that the subjects about personal interest are relatively less preferred when people read, whereas the subjects are preferred when people write. Lastly, regarding interaction type, we find that Seoul citizens prefer touching the screen directly to using smart phone to express their empathy. The contents that people write and the number of likes will be archived as big data and analyzed so that Seoul city officers and citizens will know what people think based on age, location, and subjects.
