Light shelf is an efficient system that reduces the energy consumption by bringing the natural light down to the deep spaces inside of a building. However, the existing light shelves have limits in reducing energy usage, because the direction of the light flow is determined by the external environment such as the altitude of the sun and the azimuth. This current study presents a system that increases the efficiency of the light shelf by applying the Location-Awareness technology, in which the efficiency was verified through the performance evaluation. According to the examination of the technology for the Location-Awareness within residential space, 'Zigbee' type appears to be the most appropriate. The Location-Awareness technology operates the light shelf based on both the angle control axis and the light shelf angle control axis through the modularization of the reflector surface which is less affected by the external environment. The results of the performance evaluation showed that the movable light shelf that employs the Location-Awareness technology can reduce the energy consumption for lighting by 98.3% compared to the fixed light shelf and by 97.3% compared to the movable light shelf without Location-Awareness.

The casualties due to slope failures such as landslide, rock fall, debris flow etc. are about 24% in total casualties caused by natural disasters for the last 10 years. And these slope failures are focused in the season in which typhoon and torrential rain take place. Not much attention, however, have been put into landslide mitigation research. Meanwhile, USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) forms the self-organization network, and transfers the information among sensor nodes that have computing technology ability. Accordingly, USN is embossed a social point technology. The objective of this paper is to develop a prototype system for slope failure monitoring using USN technology. For this we develop module that collects and change slope movement data measured by two tiltermeter and a tension wire, store transferred data in database. Also we develop application program that can easily analyze the data. We apply the prototype system to a test site at KICT for testing and analyzing the system's performance.

Recently, we are increasing an interest of the health care from the developing elderly society. The need for the safety standardization is the High-tech industry that the technology of Medical science based on advanced nations with the wireless communication technology. It is urgent matter the chronic disease that is growing the total costs is everyday increased. We consider the standardization of the monitoring the medical examination based on the medical science environment with wireless communication technology. In addition, we make the environment of the powerful nation based on medical / patient care technology for the supporting of the high quality service. In this paper, we focus on description of the relationship that convergence of the medical / patient care science is need the component based on wireless communication technology.

DMX512 protocol is a typical protocol which controls LED lighting system. It has a strong feature and can be used to a lot of lighting system. But LED control system with cable has a few problem because they have a lot of control cables. It is very difficult to set up the complex lighting. Furthermore if it is set up it is not easy to keep and recover the system from the out of order. So it is required Wireless Lighting Control System. This paper describes the proposal, design, and implementation of a novel method which can provide versatile light effects with the increased capability of the mobility and the number of universes for Wireless Lighting system. And then we implement experiment environment to control indoor lighting system controled by ZigBee and WLAN converter not having complicating control line. Data frames are transferred to DMX512 device by encapsulation and decapsulation to control color LED. In the same time give the method to solve the data bottleneck problem which can be comes out because of speed difference between Heterogeneous network and measure performance of control system.

The displays and the interactive interfaces are important factors to enhance immersion in the VR experience pavilion. In the VR experience pavilion displaying 3D Virtual environment, it is difficult to have multi-display with single viewpoint because of the field of view. Also it costs a lot to construct a large size display. The interaction device between user and VR environment necessary to immersion has used mainly the touchscreens with the restricted display area or the button-based input devices so far. In this paper, we suggest a method for constructing extensible multi-display which are showing VR environment in realtime and a method for interaction using a ZA Sensor which is wireless and guarantees the user's unrestricted movement. The proposed method can make a VR experience pavilion more immersive at less cost.

The conventional channel selection method for a ZigBee communication network basically detects the energy values in all channels. In the ISM band, no license is required to use channels in this band, so there may exist various interference factors in this band. It is well known that WLAN is the major interference factor degrading the performance of ZigBee in the ISM band. In this paper, we propose an efficient channel selection algorithm which uses the pattern of WLAN channel uses as the a priori information. By using the proposed algorithm, we may save the time required to select channels for the ZigBee communications.

In the existing RF communication based WPAN environment, a lowering of battery span and interference problem among sensors occur because the value of output is set and transmitted steadily when the system on sensor is initialized. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework and a transmit method with low power which decreases the electricity consumption by properly controling transmit power of opponent by received signal strength indicator(RSSI) of each sensor. The system proposes a power-lowering method by controling transmit power properly by the transmit intensity of the connected sensor after being affected by the transmit intensity of surrounded sensor. The framework that is proposed in this paper includes data transmit module, transmit power manager module, transmit power searching module, signal transmit module, and signal receiving module.

휴대용 단말기의 보급과 인터넷 및 무선 네트워크의 발달로 사용자들이 사용하는 개별 장치들이 보편화되어 있으며, 이들을 서로 유기적으로 엮은 서비스가 등장하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 서비스의 한 종류로 U-Kiosk의 개념을 소개한다. U-Kiosk는 Kiosk 단말장치나 공용 PC를 사용자 개인의 PC처럼 사용할 수 있도록 하여 이들의 리소스를 직접 제어할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 이것을 실현하기 위한 방안으로 본 논문에서는 공용 PC에서 개인 PC의 바탕화면 설정을 포함해 모든 자원을 직접 사용할 수 있도록 하는 부분을 구현하고 설명을 하였으며, 인증 과정에서 사용자의 개입을 최소한으로 줄이는 방법에 대해서 소개한다. 이를 위하여 초소형 보안 단말기인 PANDA를 사용하였으며, Zigbee 통신을 사용하여 사용자의 위치정보를 파악하여 자동으로 인증을 하도록 하는 Transient Authentication의 개념을 도입하였다. 두 컴퓨터 간의 원격 접속을 위해서는 VNC를 이용하여 구현하였으며, 사용자가 공용 PC로부터 일정 거리 안에 있을 경우, 자동으로 원격 접속이 이루어지고, 공용 PC로부터 멀어질 경우 자동으로 접속이 종료되도록 구현하였다. 이를 기반으로 제안하는 U-Kiosk의 개념에 맞는 테스트 베드를 구축 하였다. 이는 UFC Project$^{2)}$의 일부로서 차후 완벽한 인증 인프라를 구축하여 보다 안정적이고 사용하기 편리한 U-Kiosk의 구현에 초석이 될 것이다.
