  • In this paper, we analyze a time-based update method in location management and calculate the optimal time-interval. We obtain the probability that an MT is j rings away from the center cell. And using these values, an exact analysis is made for the time-based location management cost. From the result, when the time-based method is applied to location update, we can get the optimal time-interval which minimizes the location management cost.

  • The calibration method using the existing environmental characteristics is to correct taking advantage of the data that is followed Judgement on the environment. If a decision is not made on the environmental judgement, the use of traditional methods may increase rather than errors. In this paper, UWB-based localization system is utilized. We propose Location Correction Algorithm which is available on if you can not make a judgment about any circumstances for location estimation system. Reference Points was selected to observe the characteristics of the localization system. This paper searched the characteristics of the localization system in LOS environment and NLOS environment, and used data correcting the location information of the moving object by combining the two environmental characteristics. The Location Correction Algorithm is applied to the location measured from the location estimation system. This algorithm corrects for the location information of the object. As a result, the location accuracy improvement were observed.

  • This paper discusses the design of location optimization visualization and feasibility of 3 dimensional visualization techniques. In generic GIS visualization of location analysis, 2 dimensional visualization techniques have been used to map location elements and model solution, such as displaying demand and supply points, drawing connecting lines(e. g. spider line) of optimal locations to their demands, and representing density of location variations. Nevertheless, current GIS and location analysis literatures have little attentions in 3D visualization applications for location optimization problems. Previous research has been neglected 3D visualization of solution performances and its evaluation of solution quality. Consequently, this paper demonstrates potential benefits of 3D visualization techniques and its appropriate GIS applications for location optimization analysis. The visualization effectiveness of 3D approaches is examined in terms of spatial accessibility, and solution performance of optimal location models is evaluated. Finally, this paper proposes extensive 3D visualization perspectives for location analysis and GIS research as a further research agenda.

  • With the development of mobile devices and global positioning systems, various location-based services can be utilized, which collects user's location information and provides services based on it. In this process, there is a risk of personal sensitive information being exposed to the outside, and thus Geo-indistinguishability (Geo-Ind), which protect location privacy of LBS users by perturbing their true location, is widely used. However, owing to the data perturbation mechanism of Geo-Ind, it is hard to accurately obtain the density distribution of LBS users from the collection of perturbed location data. Thus, in this paper, we aim to develop a novel method which enables to effectively compute the user density distribution from perturbed location dataset collected under Geo-Ind. In particular, the proposed method leverages Expectation-Maximization(EM) algorithm to precisely estimate the density disribution of LBS users from perturbed location dataset. Experimental results on real world datasets show that our proposed method achieves significantly better performance than a baseline approach.

  • Domestic and international researches, about intelligent systems based on a variety of location recognitions using location information, have actively proceeded. The representative location recognition method based on PTMP(Point To Multi Point) communication uses TOA(Time Of Arrival) to calculate distances to a fixed node that you want to recognize a position. The method is used to obtain the fixed node location information from three nodes location information that is applied by the triangulation method. There are disadvantages, an infrastructure should be established at a specific space and the system established cost is needed, in the location recognition method based on the PTMP communication, In this paper, the ranging based PTP(Point To Point) location recognition method is proposed to revise the disadvantage of PTMP location recognition method. And then it is compared with PTMP communication location recognition to evaluate performance. In this way, PTMP and PTP communication location recognition systems based on ranging were constructed and tested in an indoor environment. Experiment results show that the proposed PTP location recognition method could be confirmed to improve accuracy more than 3 times when it was compared with the existed PTMP location recognition method.

  • Child crimes such as child abduction and lost children(MIA) have long been pointed out as social problems. However, there are few ways to solve these problems. According to MIA statistics, about 3,000 babies are lost each year. This paper presents a study on prevention of lost children ratio using mobile LBS in order to reduce the incidence of lost children ratio in dense space. First, we input the personal information of the child and the contact information of the parent. Second, we use the Google Maps API to get the location (parent's location, child's location) information. Third, the personal information of the child and the parent is indicated in the obtained location information. In future research, based on SNS, we will carry out research on sending child location information and parent location information via SMS. It is expected that the prevention system of lost child using LBS and SNS will make a great contribution to reduce the lost children ratio in the ubiquitous society.

  • Many researches in wireless sensor networks have used a geographic routing to effectively disseminate data between sinks and sources. To know the location information, the geographic routing has proposed two manners. A sink-initiated and a source-initiated are flooding to disseminate its location information in WSN. However, these two manners have two problems. Firstly, whenever they move, they flood their location information. Secondly, their location information is disseminated unnecessary nodes besides nodes which send and receive data in actually. Therefore, this paper proposes a protocol that can solve the two problems and disseminate effectively data between few sinks and few sources. The proposed protocol exploits a location information manager that manages location information of the sinks and the sources. We also compare the performance of the proposed protocol with the existing protocols through a simulation.

  • Due to the development of ICT, with using hardwares such as WiFi, 3G and GPS and so on, smartphone could have provided a lot of applications with novel functions rapidly. Through such applications, lots of personal information such as personal location, personal images, and list of phone calls is created, saved and widely used. Because there is lots of leakage of the stored personal information due to loss of phone and application, privacy violation have been important issue nowadays. Smartphone with GPS and Internet provides location information. To protect the information, the technologies that only the authorized user can access it while inquiring the location information have been proposed. In this paper, to minimize the identification information for location information subject and information user and anonymize the identifiable information such as phone number, we proposed a model that can reduce the leakage of information and avoid the wrong usage of the stored information in the server. This technique will be used for protecting privacy when developing the application that provides routing service through location history information.

  • After the internet era, we are moving to the ubiquitous society. Nowadays the people are interested in the multimodal interaction technology, which enables audience to naturally interact with the computing environment at the exhibitions such as gallery, museum, and park. Also, there are other attempts to provide additional service based on the location information of the audience, or to improve and deploy interaction between subjects and audience by analyzing the using pattern of the people. In order to provide multimodal interaction service to the audience at the exhibition, it is important to distinguish the individuals and trace their location and route. For the location tracking on the outside, GPS is widely used nowadays. GPS is able to get the real time location of the subjects moving fast, so this is one of the important technologies in the field requiring location tracking service. However, as GPS uses the location tracking method using satellites, the service cannot be used on the inside, because it cannot catch the satellite signal. For this reason, the studies about inside location tracking are going on using very short range communication service such as ZigBee, UWB, RFID, as well as using mobile communication network and wireless lan service. However these technologies have shortcomings in that the audience needs to use additional sensor device and it becomes difficult and expensive as the density of the target area gets higher. In addition, the usual exhibition environment has many obstacles for the network, which makes the performance of the system to fall. Above all these things, the biggest problem is that the interaction method using the devices based on the old technologies cannot provide natural service to the users. Plus the system uses sensor recognition method, so multiple users should equip the devices. Therefore, there is the limitation in the number of the users that can use the system simultaneously. In order to make up for these shortcomings, in this study we suggest a technology that gets the exact location information of the users through the location mapping technology using Wi-Fi and 3d camera of the smartphones. We applied the signal amplitude of access point using wireless lan, to develop inside location tracking system with lower price. AP is cheaper than other devices used in other tracking techniques, and by installing the software to the user's mobile device it can be directly used as the tracking system device. We used the Microsoft Kinect sensor for the 3D Camera. Kinect is equippedwith the function discriminating the depth and human information inside the shooting area. Therefore it is appropriate to extract user's body, vector, and acceleration information with low price. We confirm the location of the audience using the cell ID obtained from the Wi-Fi signal. By using smartphones as the basic device for the location service, we solve the problems of additional tagging device and provide environment that multiple users can get the interaction service simultaneously. 3d cameras located at each cell areas get the exact location and status information of the users. The 3d cameras are connected to the Camera Client, calculate the mapping information aligned to each cells, get the exact information of the users, and get the status and pattern information of the audience. The location mapping technique of Camera Client decreases the error rate that occurs on the inside location service, increases accuracy of individual discrimination in the area through the individual discrimination based on body information, and establishes the foundation of the multimodal interaction technology at the exhibition. Calculated data and information enables the users to get the appropriate interaction service through the main server.

  • In this paper, we implemented a safety navigation mobile application that converged AtoN information and location-based services. When application user uses the smartphone's GPS sensor to transmit the user's vessel location data to the data server, the user receives information of which its providing range is considered, such as stored AtoN data, neighboring vessels information, danger area, and weather information in the server. Providing information is sorted based on the smartphone's direction and inclination and it will be also delivered via wireless network (5G, LTE, 3G, WiFi). Additionally the application is available to implement other functions such as information provision through voice and text alarming service when the user's vessel is either approaching or entering the danger area, and an expanded information provision service that is available in shadow area linking with data-storing methods; other linkable data such as weather and other neighboring vessels will be applied based on the lasted-saved data perceived from the non-shadow area.
