Objective: The main objective of this study is to propose a user-centered assessment metric for ubiquitous services. Background: As the ubiquitous era took off, the interactions between ubiquitous services and users have come to take an important position. It is essential to conceptualize a new assessment model that considers human-system interaction capability with a user-centered design perspective. Method: The evaluation model for the interactivity of ubiquitous service was approached from the concept of usability and inter-personality of services. As a validation study, suggested assessment metric was utilized to evaluate the u-Home service. Priority weighting of each assessment metric was derived using the quantification type-I analysis. Results: To evaluate interactivity, this study suggested a quantitative metric for user testing performed after classifying the interactivity characteristics to contextualization; ubiquity; user experience; and service capability. Conclusion: This study suggest the metric for the ubiquitous service that are experienced in real life, and introduced the concept of ubiquitous service interactivity. Application: The suggested evaluation metric can be used to evaluate interactivity level of ubiquitous service and identify the potential problem and usability requirements at the early stage of service development.

IPTV functions not only as media player that does play the broadcasting industry's contents, also as the gateway is guaranteed of QoS(Quality of Service). This is for free contents-sharing that device stores contents using home network circumstance, and is for watching with seamless network service. Also this have required next QoS model that can handle stably as it may contain more data of the small computing device in next generation home system. We need ubiquitous-oriented QoS's design and development project that focuses on internal and external media service, not the existing QoS nor one-sided QoS of media sevice industry. This paper focuses on network module development. This supports IPTV in media industry and two-way capability of QoS highlighting multimedia service in network industry. In additional, this can handle stably the multiplex signal of USN/RFID as the representative ubiquitous and home network that services high-speed wire and wireless interface, and support the seamless u-QoS.

유비쿼터스 시대를 앞당길 기술로는 USN, RFID, Homenetwork 등이 있다. 이와 같은 기술들은 상황인식 시스템을 구현하게 된다. 상황을 인식한다는 것은 사람, 사물, 환경이 실시간으로 정보를 유선 및 무선으로 제공할 수 있는 환경을 뜻한다. 따라서 개인정보, 정보 프라이버시, 광의의 프라이버시가 심각한 위협에 직면할 것이다. 본 연구는 USN 환경 하에서 상황 인식 시스템이 가지고 있는 개인정보의 위협을 분석하고 이를 보호할 수 있는 기술들을 제시하였다. 각 기술들은 보호의 영역들을 세분화 시킨 정보 프라이버시에 적용할 수 있는 기술들이다. 본 연구를 통하여 정보 프라이버시의 개념적 재해석과 기술적 제시를 통한 통찰력과 종합적 해결 방안을 기대해본다.

The wireless sensor network (WSN) based ECG and body temperature measuring system for ubiquitous health-care were designed and developed. The system was composed of a wireless sensor network node, base station and server computer for the continuous monitoring of ECG signals and body temperatures of patients at home or hospital. ECG signal and body temperature data, important vital signals which are commonly used in clinical and trauma care, were displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). The data transfer from sensor nodes on patients' body to server computer was accomplished through a base-station connected to a server computer using Zigbee compatible IEEE802.15.4 standard wireless communication. Real-time as well as historical, ECG data of elderly persons or patients, can also be retrieved and played back to assist the diagnosis. The ubiquitous health care system presented in this study can effectively reduce social medical expenses, which will be increased greatly in the coming aging society.

컴퓨팅 환경이 급격이 유비쿼터스 환경으로 변하면서 이동 중에도 원하는 자원에 접근하여 이용할 수 있게 되면서 사물의 위치 정보가 중요한 정보로 인식되고 있다. 하지만 집과 사무실처럼 비교적 좁은 컴퓨팅 공간에서 위치 정보는 여전히 제한적으로 제공된다. 이 논문은 센서 네트워크와 분산된 장치를 이용하여 사용자에게 이동성을 제공하는 홈 엔터테인먼트 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 블루투스 애드혹 네트워크로 사용하여 신호 세기를 구하고 이것을 바탕으로 사용자의 위치를 추정한다. 이렇게 추정된 정보는 이동 중인 사용자가 현재 위치에서 이용 가능한 장치가 무엇인지를 알려준다. 사용자 이동성 지원의 가능성을 보이기 위해서 UPnP A/V 프레임워크 기반의 흠 엔터테인먼트 시스템에 구현하여 사용자가 이동 중에도 스트리밍 서비스를 시용할 수 있게 하고 그 결과로 작은 유비쿼터스 환경에서도 이동 중인 사용자에게 서비스 연속성을 제공할 수 있음을 보인다.

The ubiquitous computing system is expected to be widely utilized in digital home, logistics control, environment/disaster management, medical/health-care services and other applications. The ubiquitous sensor network (USN) is a key infra-structure of this system. Nodes in the USN are exposed to adverse environments and required to perform their missions with very limited power supply only. Also the sensor network is composed of much more nodes. In case some node consumes up its power capacity under a certain required level, the network topology should change and re-routing/ re-transmission of data is necessitated. Resultantly communication protocols studied for conventional wireless networks or ad-hoc networks are not suitable for the sensor network. Schemes should be devised to control the efficient usage of node power in the sensor network. This paper proposes a routing algorithm to enhance the efficiency of power consumption for USN node and analyzes its performance by simulation.

Ubiquitous computing environment means the computing environment that has taken its position so closely with the ordinary living so much like air or water. In building up the U-Korea, one of the important issues is the social issue from the drastic increase of senior population. The contemporary society has its distinct trend in increase of senior household following the nuclear family orientation, increase of working parents with the advancement of women in society, unable to support seniors for long distance or short distance of business trip and other reasons that the need of senior welfare has been ever more felt. Accordingly, the Ministry of Government Affairs and Home Administration has developed the wireless paging system to make prompt response system for 119 Rescue when the single senior is encountered with emergency situation that is has been widely provided for the socially neglected people such as single senior, the disabled persons and others. Currently, the wireless paging system is operated as the sub-system for emergency rescue information system, but due to the lack of reliability of product, problems of terminal portable transmitter, receptor and others, rejection of beneficiary and lack of knowledge in use, insufficient management and supervision of managing officers, the efficiency has been declined that there is a need of development for the system. Therefore, this study proposes the context aware information structure of the subject of ubiquitous wireless paging system required for the development of the wireless paging system model of ubiquitous environment that improved the problems of currently operated wireless paging system.

There are many researches to build up ubiquitous environment by the Ubiquitous Sensor Network(USN). These applications, such as home network, health care, natural environment and agricultural areas, are implemented by an embedded system. Their fields are gradually spreading. However the power consumption in its implementation plays an important role on the surrounding environment of the wireless network. In this paper, we design low power processor based sensor node platform for agricultural applications. We also compare its some performance with existing products.
