This paper deals with the process and requirements of a capstone design project performed by undergraduate students. We discuss about the preliminary study for the capstone design, the derivation of a subject, the level descriptor of the subject, and the system requirements. And then, we summarize the results of the capstone design project entitled as Microsoft Azure based IoT (Internet of Things) system which is performed by 4 undergraduate students during 10 months. This system is composed of a Zigbee sensor network, the TCP/IP Internet, an IoT server, and a smartphone application program, with which we can gather the sensor data and control actuators at the far away area.

In this paper, we have designed a solar photovoltaic system to attach solar photovoltaic modules to each module and develop the best efficiency in each module. The efficiency of the designed solar panel optimizer was more than 99.27% and MPPT efficiency of 99.66%. In addition, the monitoring of power generation and abnormal operation phenomenon in each optimum period and tracking for failure location of specific photovoltaic module have improved the utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation. Wired and wireless communication methods has been proposed to monitor the power generation and operation status of the solar panel optimizer. For this purpose, the RS485 communication was used for wire communication and Zigbee communication was used for wireless communication to monitor the status of each module in real time. It is shown that communication redundancy can be achieved through the proposed method, and the possibility of commercialization is suggested.

In this paper, I propose the method of cooperative work of swarm robot for escaping maze. The robots can communicate with each other using Zigbee, but the central control system send commands to robots because of low processing power of robots. Robots navigate the blinded maze and send information such as movement to the central control system for building map. The central control system analysis the received data and find path to escape from maze.

본 연구에서는 실내에서의 위치추적을 위해 가속도 센서와 각속도 센서를 이용한 위치추적기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 실내 위치추적기법은 전파의 세기를 이용하여 위치추적을 수행하는 RSSI기법과 초음파를 이용한 방법이 제시되었다. 하지만 기존 실내위치추적 기법에서는 좌표 값을 알고 있는 고정된 노드를 필수적으로 사용해야하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 보완하기위하여 착용형 노드에 가속도센서와 각속도 센서를 부착하고 이동속도와 방향을 계측하여 실내에서의 위치추적을 수행하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 3축 가속도 센서와 2축의 각속도 센서를 사용하였으며, 센서로부터 출력되는 아날로그신호를 계측 및 무선전송하기 위하여 Zigbee기반의 무선 센서노드를 사용하였다. 무선센서노드로부터 측정된 가속도신호와 각속도 신호의 분석을 통해 실내위치추적 가능성을 평가하였으며, 평가 결과 가속도센서와 각속도 센서를 이용한 실내위치추적의 가능성을 확인하였다.

최근 전국 각지의 설치되어 운영/관리 되고 있는 가로등 사업의 주요 이슈는 가로등/보안등으로 사용되는 광원 자체가 기존의 노란색 나트륨 등에서 CDM(백색 고휘도 메탈 등)계열로 급속히 전환되고 있다는 것이다. 빠르게 발전하는 근거리무선 통신 규약인 Zigbee를 통한 효율적인 관리와 에너지 효율성에 대한 관심도 증대되고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서, 저전력 Zigbee 근거리무선 통신 프로토콜을 이용한 네트워크 구축을 통하여 가로등간의 양방향 통신 시스템을 구축한다. 또한 이 연구를 통하여 에너지 효율성 증대와 운영과 관리의 편의성을 제시하고, 사업화 타당성을 분석한다.

This paper presents a fully digital controlled power supply unit for the wireless controlled dimmable LED lighting system. The proposed power supply designed using a fly-back converter, which is directly controlled by a microprocessor. Although the proposed circuit does not sense the AC input current and has not AC input voltage feed-forward, it can achieve a high power factor. The proposed power supply directly regulates the output power for LED loads using the PWM and PFM control of the fly-back converter without additional regulator. For a wireless remote control function, the Zigbee modem is equipped in the proposed power supply. A prototype set-up has been built and tested. Through the experiment with a prototype set-up, the usefulness of the proposed power supply is verified.

Hierarchical routing in Wireless Sensor Network lowers the amount of a memory used and energy consumption so that the network lifetime longer. But, When Node Failure is occurred, Hierarchical routing do not look for another route. This is the problem of Hierarchical routing. To solve the problem, we would study other hierarchical routings. There are typically hierarchical routing protocols which can be used in WSN, such as the hierarchical routing of Zigbee and HiLow protocol which is submitted as draft to IETF 6LoWPAN WG. Also, there is SCRO algorithm which be able to assign short-cut routing path. This paper explains how to solve the Node Failure in each Zigbee hierarchical routing and HiLow protocol. And we suggest how to solve the Node Failure in SCRO protocol. SCRO protocol is able to assign new routing path rapidly when Node Failure is occurred. Because the strong of SCRO protocol is to assign Short-cut routing path.

The stress is an unavoidable result and a complex phenomenon in modem society. too, Human activity changes under control of the stress. The stress is a reaction to adrenalin or other stress hormones. It provides the power for fighting and the energy for going away from dangers. Because of the stress, our bodies increase the pulse, the blood pressure and the breath for more blood and more oxygen. So, in this research, we are measuring those which was increased by the stress. Also we will examine the change of HRV and APG on music. After that, in order to reduce the stress, we will design matching system that is based on the sense for music by using Zigbee.

Recently, owing to the development of ubiquitous sensor network and mobile communication technologies, many studies on healthcare system are being carried out. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a mobile u-Healthcare system based on sensor network. The u-Healthcare system is composed of three components: wireless sensor network at home, healthcare center located at remote site, and gateway which relays sensing physiological signals to healthcare center. In order to measure patient's physiological signal three sensors are used: three channel ECG sensor, pulse oximeter, and blood pressure sensor. Each sensor is mounted on a mote which can send gathered signal to the base node using Zigbee communication protocol. Once the base node receives physiological signal from each sensor, the client in the base node transfers the signal to the healthcare center. The received physiological signal at the healthcare center is analyzed and processed using various algorithms. The processed results are compared to the standard healthcare database and appropriate treatment including dietetics and exercise cure would be sent to the patient as feedback using SMS message or healthcare center web site. Each patient can check and manage one's health state every day using the healthcare system and gain a recovery under the treatments from minor health problems.
