Watching a program on IPTV among the numerous choices from the internet requires a burden of searching and browsing for a favorite one. This paper introduces a new concept called Mosaic Map and presents how it provides preview information of image map links to other programs. In Mosaic Map the pixels in the still image are used both as shading the background and as thumbnails which can link up with other programs. This kind of contextualized preview of choices can help IPTV users to associate the image with related programs without making visual saccades between watching IPTV and browsing many choices. The experiments showed that the Mosaic Map reduces the time to complete search and browsing, comparing to the legacy menu and web search.

Some studies require sufficient amount of time, spaces, and financial condition for practical exercises and training. In particular for the Medical education, time and space limitation is very high and difficulties occurs, since the practices are done with cadavers (deceased human body). Many alternate 3D Virtual surgery training system exist currently, however the burdensome of obtaining those costly equipments is problematic. Providing the surgical environment as similar to real as possible using 3D Virtual Reality can be a solution to current problems. The effectiveness of training could be maximized with minimized costs without the general interfaces such as keyboard and mouse, but with Oculus Rift and Leap Motion. This paper will develop and practice the 3D Virtual Operation System with two devices to investigate the possibility and expand to other Simulation fields.

As our society is rapidly entering an aging society, interest in mobile health care services for disease prevention and health care for the elderly is increasing. To increase the usability of mobile healthcare services, UI design should be considered from an older person's perspective and a specific evaluation system is required to diagnose these UI usability levels. This study aimed to develop a UI usability evaluation area of mobile-healthcare application for the elderly. For this, we conducted a literature analysis to explore the comprehensive UI usability evaluation factors, and FGI for expert groups and user groups to derive UI usability evaluation areas and detailed evaluation factors. As a result, the usability evaluation areas for the elderly were divided into four areas 'design', 'contents', 'process', and 'system'. A total of 13 sub-factors and 32 detailed constructions have been derived.

The purpose of this study is to find out how voice recognition technology can be utilized to solve the elderly problem rapidly aging in Korea. Public support services and civilian nursing services for the elderly are expected to expand in Korea. In this case, voice recognition technology can be used variously for the elderly who are not familiar with the media interface. To this end, our researchers visited Japan and examined the achievements obtained by voice recognition technology in the elderly care. Especially, when caregivers write reports, they have greatly reduced their working hours by replacing the handwritten reports with ones using voice recognition technology. This method can be easily implemented in Korea. In addition, the social cost of the elderly support can be gradually reduced through the development of a robot equipped with voice recognition technology. Consequently, we realize that when voice recognition technology is combined with artificial intelligence programs of various emotion recognition functions and various policy possibilities as well.

In this paper, a method of implementing a communication network in ship, which exploits a powerline-based legacy-line communication system (LLC), is presented. We develop an inductive coupling unit and a multi-interface device to connect a data communication terminal to the powerline. As a result of operation tests for the ship under working, the implemented LLC shows a transmission rate of at least 25.8 Mbps in the distance of 200 m away with 100% success rate. Thus, the system can be a useful alternative to implement a communication network in ship without additional channels. Being easy to be implemented and supporting various interfaces for data communication, the presented system will be very effective when a real-time monitoring system is launched in future digital ship.

Hospitals these days are trying to introduce the a practice has recently been generalized in the test or diagnosis process, where test results and images from different test labs are interlinked together. This process is identical to that of physical aspect in EMR process, which computerizes the paper results within the hospital. One of the prerequisites for the process of computerizing test results is the interface between clinical test devices in the test labs. However, due to the variety of prescription inputs, disparity of test result papers, complexity of job in test labs and diversify of interfaces among the different devices, interconnection with the hospital information system is a complicated job. A universal control of clinical test devices which have independent communication protocols has become possible by connecting them with an interface workstation. As for the patients, waiting time for test has been reduced, and, thanks to the synchronized result retrieval system, it has become possible to check the test results on the very day of the test. As a result, the length of hospitalization has been reduced, too. In terms of workflow, as the transfer of charts and transfer of result papers are separated, the embarrassing job of collecting result papers has disappeared. As patients' test appointment and the results processing can be made on-line, extra work for doctors have disappeared. And, thanks to the computerization of test results information management, the job of statistical processing has become convenient.

In this work, a new control module and communication system associated with DSP are proposed to overcome the limitations of the contemporary prevailing PLC-based industrial equipment controller, and the performance of the proposed system was experimentally verified. In the light of this issue, a communication conversion scheme from RS-485 to Modbus, the dominant communication protocol used by PLC, was developed and shown to yield enhanced compatibility between devices. The proposed system allows for ~50％ cost reduction as well as downsizing of the industrial controllers. Furthermore, the design includes 24 V general digital I/O pins, which facilitate partial expansion of inputs and outputs. With Modbus communication implemented in DSP with the RS-485 interface, multi-to-multi communication may also be achieved.

To handle the high level radioactive materials such a spent fuel, the master-slave manipulators (MSM) are widely used as a remote handling device in nuclear facilities such as the hot cell with sealed and shielded space. In this paper, the Digital Mockup which simulates the remote operation of the Advanced Conditioning Process(ACP) is developed. Also, the workspace and the motion of the slave manipulator, as well as, the remote operation task should be analyzed. The process equipment of ACP and Maintenance/Handling Device are drawn in 3D CAD models using IGRIP. Modeling device of manipulator is assigned with various mobile attributes such as a relative position, kinematics constraints, and a range of mobility, The 3D graphic simulator using the external input device of space ball displays the movement of manipulator. To connect the external input device to the graphic simulator, the interface program of external input device with 6 DOF is deigned using the Low Level Tele-operation Interface(LLTI). The experimental result shows that the developed simulation system gives much-improved human interface characteristics and shows satisfactory response characteristics in terms of synchronization speed. This should be useful for the development of work's education system in the virtual environment.
