  • This paper introduces an efficient USN (ubiquitous sensor network) for monitoring blind areas in a skiing resort, developed as a part of u-Sport showcase project of Gangwon Province. Blind areas of a skiing resort are dangerous and/or steep areas located aroud ski slopes, which are rarely traveled and not easily seen by a ski patrol. If an accident occurs in such a blind area, the main control center of the sking resort can hardly recognize the accident and provide first aid and rescue services promptly. The blind area monitoring system proposed in this paper monitors a blind area of a skiing resort using five battery-powered sensor nodes each of which has an image sensor on it and wirelessly transmits images around the blind area to the main control center on a regular basis, therebly allowing real-time monitoring of the blind area and prompt rescue services in case of accidents. Additionally, the monitoring system provides an emergency button which skiers injured in the blind area can push. If the button is pushed, an image around the button and an alarm signal are transmitted to the main control center and therefore the main control center can take prompt actions for rescuing the injured skiers.

  • As Ubiquitous commerce is coming personalization service is getting interested. And also the recommendation method which offers useful information to customer becomes more important. However, most of them depend on specific method and are restricted to the E-commerce. For applying these recommendation methods into U-commerce, first it is necessary that the extended context modeling and systematic connection of the methods to complement strength and weakness of recommendation methods in each commercial transaction. Therefore, we propose a mod-eling technique of context information related to personal activation in commercial transaction and show incremental preference analysis method, using preference tree which is closely connected to recommendation method in each step. And also, we use an XML indexing technique to effi-ciently extract the recommendation information from a preference tree.

  • Based on the rapid development of the computer network technology, the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) was developed to enable us to have access to the communication environment anywhere and anytime without the need for recognizing computers or networks. Moreover, with the increasingly high interest on individual health, the USN technology is being applied to diverse sectors for healthcare and disease prevention. In this paper, a system was designed and implemented using the USN-based RF communication for doctors and nurses who care patients in the hospital to easily measure and control the physiological data on blood pressure and blood sugar. In addition, a database was designed using MS SQL database to store and manage the blood pressure and blood sugar data, which were passively or actively measured from patients. Using the results of this study, the physiological data of patients can be managed in real time and emergency situation can be instantly addressed. It is expected that the healthcare service can be improved and the paradigm of healthcare service environment can be changed.

  • As rapid progress of population aging and strong interest in health, the demand for new healthcare service is increasing. Until now healthcare service has provided post treatment by face-to-face manner. But according to related researches, proactive treatment is resulted to be more effective for preventing diseases. Particularly, the existing healthcare services have limitations in preventing and managing metabolic syndrome such a lifestyle disease, because the cause of metabolic syndrome is related to life habit. As the advent of ubiquitous technology, patients with the metabolic syndrome can improve life habit such as poor eating habits and physical inactivity without the constraints of time and space through u-healthcare service. Therefore, lots of researches for u-healthcare service focus on providing the personalized healthcare service for preventing and managing metabolic syndrome. For example, Kim et al.(2010) have proposed a healthcare model for providing the customized calories and rates of nutrition factors by analyzing the user's preference in foods. Lee et al.(2010) have suggested the customized diet recommendation service considering the basic information, vital signs, family history of diseases and food preferences to prevent and manage coronary heart disease. And, Kim and Han(2004) have demonstrated that the web-based nutrition counseling has effects on food intake and lipids of patients with hyperlipidemia. However, the existing researches for u-healthcare service focus on providing the predefined one-way u-healthcare service. Thus, users have a tendency to easily lose interest in improving life habit. To solve such a problem of u-healthcare service, this research suggests a u-healthcare recommender system which is based on collaborative filtering principle and social network. This research follows the principle of collaborative filtering, but preserves local networks (consisting of small group of similar neighbors) for target users to recommend context aware healthcare services. Our research is consisted of the following five steps. In the first step, user profile is created using the usage history data for improvement in life habit. And then, a set of users known as neighbors is formed by the degree of similarity between the users, which is calculated by Pearson correlation coefficient. In the second step, the target user obtains service information from his/her neighbors. In the third step, recommendation list of top-N service is generated for the target user. Making the list, we use the multi-filtering based on user's psychological context information and body mass index (BMI) information for the detailed recommendation. In the fourth step, the personal information, which is the history of the usage service, is updated when the target user uses the recommended service. In the final step, a social network is reformed to continually provide qualified recommendation. For example, the neighbors may be excluded from the social network if the target user doesn't like the recommendation list received from them. That is, this step updates each user's neighbors locally, so maintains the updated local neighbors always to give context aware recommendation in real time. The characteristics of our research as follows. First, we develop the u-healthcare recommender system for improving life habit such as poor eating habits and physical inactivity. Second, the proposed recommender system uses autonomous collaboration, which enables users to prevent dropping and not to lose user's interest in improving life habit. Third, the reformation of the social network is automated to maintain the quality of recommendation. Finally, this research has implemented a mobile prototype system using JAVA and Microsoft Access2007 to recommend the prescribed foods and exercises for chronic disease prevention, which are provided by A university medical center. This research intends to prevent diseases such as chronic illnesses and to improve user's lifestyle through providing context aware and personalized food and exercise services with the help of similar users'experience and knowledge. We expect that the user of this system can improve their life habit with the help of handheld mobile smart phone, because it uses autonomous collaboration to arouse interest in healthcare.

  • In ubiquitous GIS system, the spatial information could be updated and utilied by mobile terminals. Spatial information stored in mobile terminals should be able to synchronize to the server. However, in mobile environment, there are some limitations in synchronization service due to the limited bandwidth. The ActMAP system, that was developed to consider of mobile environment, has suggested a partial update protocal for synchronization in order to solve the narrow bandwidth problem. But it is still has a problem that it does not consider two-way synchronization between a server and a mobile terminal. This paper suggests a two-way synchronization protocol between a server and mobile terminals. It, therefore, is inclined to supporting updated and utilization of spatial information using mobile terminals.

  • Smart scope, such as smart equipments, smart homes, and smart phones, has been appeared lately being developed. Such technology developments have been close and practical to our daily lives, not regulated in a science fiction and a movie. It is just the peak of a smart term period. However, with the result from imprudent application of the term 'smart' in the various fields in a short term, the concept of the term 'Smart City' has been nebulous. Therefore, this study is intended to design the obvious concept of Smart City and figure out the political improvement how it will make the direction in the future. That is to study the Smart City which applies the term smart in its city and space, and to examine the improvement directions. After studying the application of the term 'smart', we determine this word has intelligent and high-tech concepts and is used variously in the diverse fields. But we conclude that the term Smart City in these fields is defined differently. From these perspectives, the term is not a simple creature consists of 'smart' and 'city.' It is to be designed as the meanings of making the cities smart.

  • Fungi of the genus Aspergillus are ubiquitous Saprophytes in nature. Many reports since the first report of human aspergillosis by Slayter[1847], have suggested that this is not a rare condition. Author have reviewed 15 cases of pulmonary aspergillosis obtained in Dept. of Thoracic Surgery, Busan University Hospital from 1966 through 1976, and taken literatural consideration. The results were obtained as follows. 1. Ages ranged from the first to sixth decades, with the majority [73.3%] in the third and fourth decades. The male to female ratio was two to one. Both upper lobes were predominantly involved [80%]. 2. Hemoptysis was the most common symptom and it was appeared in 66.6%. 3. Only 4 cases [26.7%] were take correct diagnosis before operation. Remained cases were difficult to be taken the correct diagnosis preoperatively because of lower discovery rate of aspergillus in application on immunological typical X-ray findings and non-specific symptoms of them. 4. Preoperatively, 8 cases [53.3%] were taken diagnosis as pulmonary tuberculosis. 5. Underlying diseases were present in 11 cases [73.3%] and 6 cases of them were pulmonary tuberculosis.
