The purpose of this study is to identify a core competencies of the smart worker which most needed in the Smart Work 2.0 environment and to define the competence model of smart worker that can be most applied to. Smart worker for the core competence model as a originality & innovation competence and social skills, digital capability and the capacity of each organic connection to each other is very necessary. Such a smart worker competencies needed to strengthen the three related to the smart foundation for a smart network that will help encourage a very important role is considered.

Smart work, which is a new way of working at out-of-home instead of an office, has become a widespread practice because it is considered as beneficial for both organization and employee. This study is conducted to investigate the differences about attitude toward the organizational effectiveness between smart worker and office worker in a call center. The result showed that the perceived advantages of smart worker(higher service climate, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, service capability) are more positive than those of office workers. Based on this result, the implications and policy directions of smart work were discussed.

In high-risk workplaces where communication is not possible, such as deforestation, it is necessary to use equipment that monitors the worker's situation in real time and obtains information according to the worker's location in case of an emergency. This paper analyzes the development and demonstration experiments of smart hard hats for deforestation workers to maintain a safe working environment. The developed smart helmet identifies the location of the worker based on the UWB signal for location estimation, and it is necessary to keep the distance between the workers not too close. UWB, Gyro, and LoRa are used to communicate even in the communication shadow area. It is used to provide a safe working environment such as improved construction to reduce worker risks and risks in forest working environments.

This paper presents an implementation of a gesture recognition platform that can be used in a factory workplaces. The platform consists of signages that display worker's job orders and a control center that is used to manage work orders for factory workers. Each worker does not need to bring work order documents and can browse the assigned work orders on the signage at his/her workplace. The contents of signage can be controlled by worker's hand and arm gestures. Gestures are extracted from body movement tracked by 3D depth camera and converted to the commandsthat control displayed content of the signage. Using the control center, the factory manager can assign tasks to each worker, upload work order documents to the system, and see each worker's progress. The implementation has been applied experimentally to a machining factory workplace. This flatform provides convenience for factory workers when they are working at workplaces, improves security of techincal documents, but can also be used to build smart factories.

It is predicted the mass retirement of the post-war generation and the lack of young people according to reduces the recruitment. Therefore, industry fields are concerned by the low level of occupational safety and health from issued problem in a variety of industries; the charge of expanding business range/multi-functional, black box of technology, difficulty of systematic training, relative decrease in the skill of workers, loss of know-how in the field of information followed restricted site information. In response to these problems, it is necessary to establish the long-termly and actively based on for the adoption of a safety and health management techniques utilizing IT, which is digital assistant(tablet PC, PDA, etc.), RFID/USN/ICT, database systems, and etc. In this study, we developed and evaluated a worker's safety sensing apparatus using smart phone. The apparatus may be useful to prevent accidents in the construction industry as well as confined space work.

This paper proposes a system that utilizes USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network), Bluetooth and smart phone to improve the function of senior houses. In typical approach, a system in a senior house either directly accesses the status of elderly people by its sensor or is alerted by elderly people who trigger an emergency bell, derive a decision and take an appropriate action. In addition, it is possible for a designated social worker to check the status of senior patients through monitoring system connected by UTP(Unshielded Uwisted Pair) cables, but the responsible person has to be present to monitor patients' status. However, the new system, suggested in this paper, embed Bluetooth function in a blood pressure gauge, thus the smart phone receives patients' health information such as blood pressure through Bluebooth, if any abnormal event occurs. Consequently, the smart phone sends SMS(Short Message Service) to a responsible social worker or a designated hospital. When this program in the paper becomes a reality, an unmanned system that is able to determine suitable actions for certain events will be established, even if a social worker were absence.

Recently, many companies are interested in smart factory services. Because various smart factory services are provided by the combination of mobile devices, cloud computing, and IoT services. However, many workers turn away from these systems because most of them are not implemented from the worker's point of view. To solve this, we implemented a development tool that allows field workers to produce their own services so that workers can easily create smart factory services. Manufacturing data is collected in real time from sensors which are connected to manufacturing facilities and stored within smart factory platforms. Implemented development tools can produce services such as monitoring, processing, analysis, and control of manufacturing data in drag-and-drop. The implemented system is effective for small manufacturing companies because of their environment: making various services quickly according to the company's purpose. In addition, it is assumed that this also will help workers' improve operation skills on running smart factories and fostering smart factory capable personnel.

In this paper, HSE (Health and Safety Environments) research with smart device and biometrics is conducted for the worker's HSE enhancement in the manufacturing shop floor. Today, various kinds of smart devices are popularized extensively. In addition, the wearable type devices are being introduced such as google glass very recently. Smart device of werable type is exptected to bring great opportunity out in terms of HSE functionality. Smart devices of phone or tablet type are being used for on-line work between control center and manufacturing shop floor by virtue of wireless communication. However, those devices are not appropriate for detecting of worker's physical senses such as temperature and pulse. In this paper, we developed a glass type smart device and required funictions for HSE enhancement with the investigation of biometrics technology. Also, required sensors are investigated for the detecting of temperature, pulse and noxious gasses. Smart device of glass type has advantages in that most senses of personnel are gathered around faces, and also it's possible to detect neutral axis of body because the wearing location is fixed. We expect that the proposing HSE product of glass type smart device could contribute the enhancement of the HSE of manufacturing shop floor.

In recent years, there has been a popularity rose up on Smart TV (Smart Television) usage at home. Therefore, it is also have increase the demand on grid computing system. Smart TV has a variety of platform and usage compare to PC (Personal computer). Base on this, it is difficult to apply a traditional grid system on Smart TV. One major reason are concerning the small idle time compare to PC. To overcome this problem, this paper will propose a Javascript grid system and introducing a new scheduling policy that best suit for a smart TV. We have conduct an experiment on the proposed method. The result provides an average of 1.78 percent, which is improved compare to the traditional method which is only provides an average of 0.09 percent.
