According to the increase of various AV media devices and contents in the digital home, the DLNA becomes to play an important role as the interoperability standard between then Since this guideline only focuses on the interoperability among home networked devices, media players, and media contents existing inside of the homenetwork, there is no retrieval and transmission method for sharing multimedia contents located over several homes via Internet. Additionally, this guideline lets device-detection and notification messages to be transmitted using W multicast methods, and current Internet environment cannot guarantee consistent IP multicast services, it has the limitation that it cannot retrieve and control DLNA devices in other digital homes remotely via the Internet. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the IHM(Inter-Home Media) proxy system and its operating mechanism to provide a way of sharing media contents distributed over multiple DLNA-based homes, through analyzing these limitations and building up a sharing method for A/V media contents distributed over the DLNA homes based on the dynamic or private IP networks. Our method removes the limitation on the user locations through sharing distributed media contents, and also makes cost-downs for storing media contents, from the view point of individual residents.

The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of choice realization between service quality and user satisfaction to elderly home care services. For this purpose, we analyzed 258 respondents who received elderly home care service in Jeollabuk-do. Considering the assumption that the moderating effect of choice realization would be different by rural and urban areas because of the disparity of the elderly welfare infrastructure, the urban and rural areas were analyzed separately. The analyses showed that choice realization had a moderating effect on the relationship between service quality and user's service satisfaction for the service clients resided in urban areas. However, there was no significant moderating effect of choice realization for the service clients in rural areas. This result implies that the moderating effect of selection realization is different in rural and urban areas because of the poor elderly home care facilities in rural areas. In order for aged people to actively express the effect of service user choice, it is necessary to solve welfare imbalance between regions through expansion of welfare infrastructure and policy support to rural area.

Third, evaluate the effectiveness of the instruction after applying the curriculum in real classroom situations. The results of this study were as follows: First, teaching and learning plans and materials were developed for two units, 'issues regarding teenagers' diet' and 'implementation of a healthy and balanced diet', under 'teenagers' life'. The first unit, 'issues regarding teenagers' diet', dealt with topics such as teenagers' dietary behaviors, nutrition, and health. Learning objectives for this unit were to help students identify and evaluate their own dietary behaviors. The second unit, 'implementation of a healthy and balanced diet', encouraged students to diagnose problems with their diet and plan nutrient rich meals. The objectives for this unit were to help students implement a healthy and balanced diet by providing them with nutrition and dietary guidelines for Koreans, sample meal plans, and guidelines for developing healthy eating habits for teenagers. In order to develop a teaching and learning plans to achieve these objectives, teaching and learning materials including inquiry tasks, materials for group activities, multimedia, applications and various pop-up learning materials were developed. Second, a smart textbook using DocZoom, which was a smart content authoring tool was developed. The textbook dealt with issues regarding teenagers' diet and implementation of a healthy and balanced diet. Multimedia material used in the textbook come from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's food and nutrition education web sites and other sources. To develop student-oriented material, relevant video clips were added to the smart textbook to motivate students and enhance their interest in the course. Third, the outcome of this study indicated that the instruction using teaching and learning plans and learning materials with the smart textbook was effective for enhancing students' interest in Home Economics classes (t-value=-3.99, p<.001), creating enthusiasm for learning(t-value = -2.61, p<.05), encouraging self-directed and independent learning(t-value = -4.77, p<.001), and improving students' interest in food and nutrition courses(t-value = -3.83, p<.001). The students' evaluation of the instruction were as follows: the instruction using teaching and learning plans and learning materials with smart textbooks, instead of paper textbooks, helped them save time looking for learning materials; students evaluated that it was easier for them to see and understand video clips and charts. In addition, most students answered that instruction with smart textbooks were more fun and convenient, and they agreed that the courses enhanced their learning experience.

The goal of the present research is to improve a quality of life of the elderly with a dementia. In this paper, it is realized by developing the dialog system that is controlled by three kinds of modules such as speech recognition engine, graphical agent, or database classified by a nursing schedule. The system was evaluated in an actual environment of a nursing facility by introducing it to an older male patient with dementia. The comparison study between dialog system and professional caregivers was then carried out at nursing home for 5 days in each case. The evaluation results showed that the dialog system was more responsive in catering to needs of dementia patient than professional caregivers. Moreover, the proposed system led the patient to talk more than caregivers did.

A class D digital audio amplifier with small size, low cost, and high quality is positively necessary in the multimedia era made of home theater system and the digital audio broadcasting (DAB). It is impossible to analyze the stability of the digital audio amplifier, which is based on the PWM signal processing. To solve this problem, the digital audio amplifier is analyzed using variable structure control theory which is one of nonlinear system theories. Moreover, the magnitude and the frequency of ripple signal, which generated by hysteresis in the comparator, is obtained using describing function which is useful to represent the input-output relation of nonlinear system.

The Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) has been considered to be one of the most promising solutions for the implementation of the Fiber To The Home (FTTH) technology designed to ameliorate the "last mile" bandwidth bottleneck. In the EPON network, an efficient and fair bandwidth allocation is a very important issue, since multiple optical network units (ONUs) share a common upstream channel for packet transmission. To increase bandwidth utilization, an EPON system must provide a way to adaptively allocate the upstream bandwidth among multiple ONUs in accordance to their bandwidth demands and requirements. We present a new hybrid method that satisfies these requirements. The advantage of our method comes from the consideration of application-specific bandwidth allocation and the minimization of the idle bandwidth. Our simulation results show that our proposed method outperforms existing dynamic bandwidth allocation methods in terms of bandwidth utilization.
