With the popularity of sensor-rich environments, smartphones have become one of the major platforms for obtaining and sharing information. Since it is difficult to utilize GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) inside the area with many buildings, the localization of smartphone in this case is considered as a challenging task. To resolve problem of localization using smartphone a four step image-based localization method and procedure is proposed. To improve the localization accuracy of smartphone datasets, MMS (Mobile Mapping System) and Google Street View were utilized. In our approach first, the searching for candidate matching image is performed by the query image of smartphone's using GNSS observation. Second, the SURF (Speed-Up Robust Features) image matching between the smartphone image and reference dataset is done and the wrong matching points are eliminated. Third, the geometric transformation is performed using the matching points with 2D affine transformation. Finally, the smartphone location and attitude estimation are done by PnP (Perspective-n-Point) algorithm. The location of smartphone GNSS observation is improved from the original 10.204m to a mean error of 3.575m. The attitude estimation is lower than 25 degrees from the 92.4% of the adjsuted images with an average of 5.1973 degrees.

In this paper, an LED lighting system that is capable of automatic or maunal dimming control using a ultrasonic sensor and Bluetooth wireless communication technology is presented. The LED lighting system consists of a ultrasonic sensor, microcontroller unit, Bluetooth wireless communication, LED driver, and LED light source. By using the implemented LED lighting system sample, it is shown that the automatic and manual dimming control is realized. By using the ultrasonic sensor, the LED lighting is automatically brighter or dimmer depending on the distance between the sensor and an object. When using a smartphone that includes Bluetooth wireless communication function, one can not only manually control the brightness of the LED lighting from level 1 to 10, but also monitor the distance between the sensor and object on the smartphone.

Zigbee is a wireless communication technology optimized for WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) environment. A WSN gateway is used for node control and data transmission. However, a fixed-type gateway can restrict the flexibility of the WSN environment. A smartphone-mounted high-performance processor and Android OS can be easily used in a mobile WSN gateway. In this paper, we proposed a mobile WSN gateway based on Android smartphones. In the proposed system, a Zigbee sensor module is connected with a smartphone via USB (Universal Serial Bus) port. We also implemented an Android application for the mobile WSN gateway.

As the services of ubiquitous environment has become accessible everywhere, it has been developed in various fields. Additionally interests in the u-Healthcare has sharply increased. In this paper, the BAN (Body Area Network) has been applied through ECG sensor and Zigbee communication of the existing ubiquitous sensor network environment to measure one's vital signs. The measured vital signs were then implemented in a system that enabled doctors and specialists to monitor by using 3G(WCDMA) communication. Furthermore, a location search device has been designed using the Smartphone's GPS modules to locate patients in the case of an emergency. The data field definition and designed system was based on the Smartphone's iPhone platform which has been in the spotlight for the previous months.

With the rapid development of major functions in a smartphone, many applications interacting with a smartphone are introduced and mobile applications converged with various related technologies are announced and rapidly disseminated recently. In this paper, we propose the design of a smart mobile application operated with devices like sensors in order to utilize various functions of the smartphone effectively. The mobile application proposed in this paper uses the bluetooth module of the smartphone, composes the wireless ad hoc network with various sensors around us, and collects bionic context information of the user in real time. The smart application designed and implemented in this paper is the sensor based healthy diet application that can fulfill healthy diet program by reflecting the user's sensed bionic context data in real time.

Currently, society thinks human-health is very important. As a result, the number of individual bikes is increasing. And bicycle accident rate is increasing every year. We have developed the safety-equipment utilizing a smartphone. Because, in order to reduce the rate of bicycle accidents. The working principle is that the connection between the bicycle and safety equipment with built-in Bluetooth chip. Information of bike-driving Is measured using a smartphone with built-in gyro sensor. I made an algorithm for specifying a direction by using the values of the gyro sensor. With this algorithm, it is possible to reduce the accident rate of the bicycle.

The generalization trend of smart phones have brought many smartphone games into daily lives. These games are mainly dependent on the interactions on the display of the phone using finger touches. On the other hand, functions for detecting the positions and actions of the phones such as gyro-sensors have been rapidly developed over the former orientation sensors and acceleration sensors. Though it has become technologically possible to detect the users' motion via the smartphone devices and to use the phone device directly as the game device, it is hard to find the actualized cases. This paper proposes a new paradigm including basic frameworks and algorithm for the games combining the motion recognitions and mutual communications on the smartphones and finally presents the details of its implementation and results.

This significance of the infant care system has emerged due to sudden infant death during sleeping. This paper presented a design and implementation of a prototype model, which is a infant care device controlled by a smartphone using Bluetooth technology. Prototype Device Model consists of MCU(microcontroller unit), Accelerometer Sensor, Temperature Measuring Sensor, Sound Measuring Sensor, Bluetooth Module, and Camera Module. The proposed application transfers the information to the parent's smartphone and computers, such as infant's falling, crying, and fever detection. A test verified the availability of a prototype infant care system model using Bluetooth Low Energy with operating the low power driving.

In this paper, a smartphone-controlled personal mobility system (PMS) with semi-autonomous navigation is developed. The proposed PMS moves to waypoints and then reaches the destination where the waypoints and destination are selected by the user using Google maps in a smartphone. The hardware environment consists of a GPS (Global Positioning System) in the smartphone and a compass sensor. In addtion, while it is moving in autonomous mode, the user can intervene and change the direction and speed of the PMS in order to avoid obstacles that may be encountered accidentally in a dynamic environment. That is why it is called "semi-autonomous navigation". Experimental results showed that the proposed PMS is effectively able to migrate to the waypoints and destination in both autonomous and manual modes.
