Abstract

An Internet of Things (IoT) is a system where various "things" are connected to each other via a wired/wireless network, and where information is gathered, processed, and interchanged/shared. One of the important actors in IoT is a mobile IoT device (such as a smartphone or tablet). These devices tend to consume a large amount of power in order to provide various high performance application services; however, as the devices cannot be supplied with power all the time, efficient power management is necessary. Power management of mobile IoT devices involves complex relationships between various entities such as application processors (APs), HW modules inside/outside AP, operating systems, mobile IoT platforms, and applications. In order to develop power-efficient mobile IoT devices, a method is needed to systematically analyze these relationships and manage power based on a clear understanding of them. To address this problem, software engineering principles for the development of power-efficient mobile IoT devices are presented in this paper. The feasibility of the proposed principles have been validated in the domain of smartphone camera power management.

다양한 사물이 유무선 네트워크를 통해 연결되어 정보를 수집, 처리, 교환/공유하는 사물인터넷(IoT) 환경에서 대표적인 역할을 하는 것이 스마트폰, 태블릿과 같은 모바일 IoT 단말이다. 이 단말은 고성능 어플리케이션 서비스를 제공하기 위해 파워 소비량이 많은 편이지만 전원을 상시 공급할 수 없기 때문에 효율적으로 파워를 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 모바일 IoT 단말의 파워 소비에는 어플리케이션 프로세서(AP), AP 내/외부 하드웨어 모듈, 운영체제, 모바일 IoT 플랫폼, 어플리케이션 등 다양한 요소가 복잡하게 얽혀 있다. 따라서 파워 효율이 높은 모바일 IoT 단말을 개발하기 위해서는 이 관계를 체계적으로 파악하고 이를 바탕으로 파워 관리를 할 수 있도록 하는 방법이 필요하다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 파워 효율이 높은 모바일 IoT 단말 개발을 위한 소프트웨어 공학적 원칙을 소개한다. 제안하는 원칙은 스마트폰의 카메라 서비스 파워 관리 개발에 적용하여 검증하였다.
