Personal sound amplifiers(PSAPs) provide accessible and affordable healthcare to individuals with hearing disability. Many studies are in progress for affordable PSAP development, but still people do not have a best fitting profile for the PSAP depending on their hearing test. As a result, they do not have a personalized and profiled music and sound, which are very helpful for those who has hearing problems. In this paper, we propose a device and mobile system to provide music with an equalizer value according to the hearing condition of an individual to prevent the hearing loss. In order to overcome the limit of frequency band of the equalizer in a smart phone, we developed bluetooth controlled equalizer based on the fitting profiles.

Frame synchronization is an critical factor for an effective operation of OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) based communication systems. In this paper, we present and analyze an efficient frame synchronization method based on m-sequence for OFDM-based mobile multimedia communication systems. The cyclic extension preceding OFDM frames is of decisive importance for this method. The m-sequence is added directly to cyclic extension signal in the time domain. By utilizing the autocorrelation characteristics of m-sequence, efficient frame synchronization can be achieved. And we also consider frequency offset estimation simultaneously. The proposed frame synchronization method can be applied to the OFDM-based mobile multimedia communication systems.

The future mobile communication system can support not only voice but also multimedia applications such as data, image and video. It requires greater resources than the voice-oriented mobile system. We propose a efficient resource allocation for mobile multimedia services in the OFDMA systems. Our method is able to guarantee QoS continuity of realtime class and carry the maximum number of non-realtime subscriber.

This paper proposes a novel traffic and resource management scheme based on Service Level Agreement (SLA) which allows to guarantee the quality of experience (QoE) for various high-quality mobile multimedia service users to a certain level. For this purpose, QoE-SLA coupling structure is considered and a novel scheme is suggested to suppress the processing delay of the mobile terminal and to decrease the transfer delay in the transmission network. According to simulation results, our proposed scheme can increase the total throughput and decrease the average delay by adjusting SLA.

현재 XML은 전자상거래와 기업간 정보유통 및 전사적 기업 관리 시스템에 주로 적용되고 있으며 이를 위해서 XML 데이터를 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 XML DBMS 관련 제품들이 시장에 빠르게 구현되고 있다. 이러한 XML 문서의 이용은 Mobile 환경으로 이동하면서 온라인 비즈니스와 동일한 환경 구축을 위해 모바일 비즈니스에서의 사용범위가 확대되어 가고 있으며, 많은 XML 문서의 효율적 관리를 위해서 모바일 전용의 DBMS에 XML 문서의 저장이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문은 이동 단말기에 XML 문서를 저장하기 위한 XML DBMS를 개발하였다. 기존의 모바일 DBMS에 대해 XML Adapter를 탑재하여 이동 단말기에 직접 XML 문서를 저장할 수 있도록 함으로써 표준 언어인 XML 문서의 활용을 극대화 하도록 하였으며, 이에 따라 기존의 Mobile DBMS를 이용하여 XML 데이터를 쉽게 조작할 수 있고, 이동 단말기에 대한 활용도를 극대화 할 수 있다.

In this paper, two-stage pipelined floating-point arithmetic unit (FP-AU) is designed. The FP-AU processor supports seventeen operations to apply 3D graphics processor and has area-efficient and low-latency architecture that makes use of modified dual-path computation scheme, new normalization circuit, and modified compound adder based on flagged prefix adder. The FP-AU has about 4-ns delay time at logic synthesis condition using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS standard cell library and consists of about 5,930 gates. Because it has 250 MFLOPS execution rate and supports saturated arithmetic including a number of graphics-oriented operations, it is applicable to mobile 3D graphics accelerator efficiently.

Skin-color information is not sufficient for palmprint segmentation in complex scenes, including mobile environments. Traditional active shape model (ASM) combines gray information and shape information, but its performance is not good in complex scenes. An improved ASM method is developed for palmprint segmentation, in which Perux method normalizes the shape of the palm. Then the shape model of the palm is calculated with principal component analysis. Finally, the color likelihood degree is used to replace the gray information for target fitting. The improved ASM method reduces the complexity, while improves the accuracy and robustness.

The growth of domestic fashion industry market went sluggish affected by long-term slow growth and shrinking consumer sentiment since 2012, and the entire market has shown a slight growth since 2017. Yet only some conglomerates or global businesses experience this growth. Small and medium-sized fashion companies or rising fashion designers in South Korea, face real limitations and problems poor capital, lack of professional workforce, experience, information and educational opportunity as well as difficulty of acquiring distribution network, which lead to further polarization between conglomerates and small businesses. Thus, this study proposed mobile virtual viewer system-based collaborative application prototype capable of overcoming limitations and problems drawn by analyzing business environment of domestic brands launched by rising fashion designers. Especially, through applied template-based 3D virtual fashion design technology and performing the entire process in the virtual reality beyond spatial and temporal restraints, it is assumed that more effective and efficient outcomes can be obtained compared to the previous method.

In traditional Chinese medical (TCM) science, tongue images can be observed for medical diagnosis; however, the tongue diagnosis of TCM is influenced by the subjective factors of doctors, and the diagnosis results vary from person to person. Quantitative TCM tongue diagnosis can improve the accuracy of diagnosis and increase the application value. In this paper, digital image processing and pattern recognition technologies are employed on mobile device to classify tongue images collected in different health states. First, through grayscale integral projection processing, the trough is found to localize the tongue body. Then the tongue body image is transferred from RGB color space to HSV color space, and the average H and S values are considered as the color features. Finally, the diagnosis results are obtained according to the relationship between the color characteristics and physical symptoms.

The mobile application market has been growing extensively in recent years. Currently, Apple's App Store has more than 400,000 applications and Google's Android Market has above 150,000 applications. Such growth in volumes of mobile applications has created a need to develop a recommender system that assists the users to take the right choice, when searching for a mobile application. In this paper, we study the recommendation system building tools based on collaborative filtering. Specifically, we present a study on comparison analysis of collaborative filtering in Java and R statistical software. We implement the collaborative filtering using Java's Apache Mahout and R's recommenderlab package. We evaluate both methods and describe the advantages and disadvantages of using them in order to implement collaborative filtering.
