The biggest type of behavior that prevents people with developmental disabilities from entering society is aggressive behavior. Aggressive behavior can pose a threat not only to the personal safety of the person with a developmental disability, but also to the physical safety of others. In this study, we propose a wearable system using a low-power processor. The proposed system uses an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to analyze user behavior, and when attack behavior is not detected for a certain period of time through an LED array attached to the developed system, an interesting LED is displayed. By expressing patterns, we provide behavioral intervention through compensation to people with developmental disabilities. In order to implement a system that must be worn for a long time in a power-limited environment, we present a method to optimize performance and energy consumption across all stages, from data preprocessing to AI model application.

Mobile Multimedia File System, MNFS, is a file system which extensively exploits NAND FLASH Memory, Since general Flash file systems does not precisely meet the criteria of mobile devices such as MP3 Player, PMP, Digital Camcorder, MNFS is designed to guarantee the optimal performance of FLASH Memory file system. Among many features MNFS provides, there are three distinguishable characteristics. MNFS guarantees, first, constant response time in sequential write requests of the file system, second, fast file system mounting time, and lastly least memory footprint. MNFS implements four schemes to provide such features, Hybrid mapping scheme to map file system metadata and user data, manipulation of user data allocation to fit allocation unit of file data into allocation unit of NAND FLASH Memory, iBAT (in core only Block Allocation Table) to minimize the metadata, and bottom-up representation of directory. Prototype implementation of MNFS was tested and measured its performance on ARM9 processor and 1Gbit NAND FLASH Memory environment. Its performance was compared with YAFFS, NAND FLASH File system, and FAT file system which use FTL. This enables to observe constant request time for sequential write request. It shows 30 times faster mounting time to YAFFS, and reduces 95% of HEAP memory consumption compared to YAFFS.

For the last half a century, the personal computer and software industries have been prosperous due to the incessant evolution of computer systems. In the 21st century, the embedded system market has greatly increased as the market shifted to the mobile gadget field. While a lot of multimedia gadgets such as mobile phone, navigation system, PMP, etc. are pouring into the market, most industrial control systems still rely on 8-bit micro-controllers and simple application software techniques. Unfortunately, the technological barrier which requires additional investment and higher quality manpower to overcome, and the business risks which come from the uncertainty of the market growth and the competitiveness of the resulting products have prevented the companies in the industry from taking advantage of such fancy technologies. However, high performance, low-power and low-cost hardware and software platforms will enable their high-technology products to be developed and recognized by potential clients in the future. This paper presents such a platform for industrial embedded systems. The platform was designed based on Telechips TCC8300 multimedia processor which embedded a variety of parallel hardware for the implementation of multimedia functions. And open-source Embedded Linux, TinyX and GTK+ are used for implementation of GUI to minimize technology costs. In order to estimate the expected performance and power consumption, the performance improvement and the power consumption due to each of enabled hardware sub-systems including YUV2RGB frame converter are measured. An analytic model was devised to check the feasibility of a new application and trade off its performance and power consumption. The validity of the model has been confirmed by implementing a real target system. The cost can be further mitigated by using the hardware parts which are being used for mass production products mostly in the cell-phone market.

Portable embedded systems which mainly handle multimedia applications involve the problem that frequent accesses to fetch data from memory make running time increased. To cope with the problem, embedded processors have adopted data prefetching schemes. From a power point of view, which is a main performance indicator of embedded systems, this paper analyzed to investigate how data prefetching schemes influence on system's performance. To solve the problem, we proposed a power-consumption analysis model of a memory system with data prefetching scheme and measured the power dissipated during running application programs. As a result data prefetching schemes have application program's running time reduced but have system's power increased. Also we proposed a performance analysis model considering execution time and power consumption for embedded system with data prefetching schemes.

This paper describes the design of image data transmitter for portable media device for Mobile Display Digital Interface standard. The transmitter uses connection lines to 6 to transmit QVGA image data. In this paper, the transmitter is using only 9 packets for image processing and a state-machine based design is adapted for packet processing. The design was verified using FPGA Xilinx virtex4-LX60. Data rate of the transmitter is 363Mbps with six connection lines. The transferring capability is 30 frame of 24bit RGB 500,000 pixel image data per second.

최근 PDA(Personal Digital Assistants)와 같은 휴대형 단말기들은 다양한 멀티미디어 기술과 무선 인터넷 기술의 영향으로 정보단말기로서 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 현재의 단말기는 프로세서와 메모리의 한계로 인하여 원활한 음성인식 시스템을 구축하기에는 한계가 있다. 이를 보완하는 방법으로 본 논문에서는 Client/server로 분리된 음성 인식 시스템을 구축하였다. 구축한 시스템은 무선 네트워크 환경을 이용하여 PDA(Personal Digital Assistants)에서 음성 파일 또는 특징 파라미터를 Serve 측으로 전송하여 Server측에서 음성 인식을 수행한 후 그 결과를 모바일 단말기로 되돌려 주는 시스템이다. 구성된 시스템을 평가하기 위해서는 국어 공학센터의 음성 DB(KLE 452DB)를 이용하여 음향 모델을 생성한 후 다양한 환경(연구실, 복도, 주차장 도서관 로비)에서 발성한 후 이를 교내 무선 인터넷망(Nespot)을 통하여 송신하여 실시간 인식하였다. 실험 결과, 각각 $84.04\%\;72.28\%\;69.47\%\;67.61\%$의 평균 인식률을 얻을 수 있었다.

As increasing emphasis is being placed on user experience design, the RIA technology is widely deployed for user interface and software operation on embedded devices including cell phones and TVs. In particular, RIA-based IPTV enables creation of various interactive contents via sophisticated animation and various input devices. This paper proposes a service framework for emotional contents on broadcast and communication-converged IPTV systems. We design a programming interface extension for IPTV-based flash contents and develop a prototype of flash runtime with the extended programming support. Since the proposed runtime was carefully designed to fully utilize the built-in graphic acceleration hardware in media processor, it supports high resolution graphic animation in resource-constrained IPTV environments.

The fast processing ability of an RTOS (Real Time Operating System) is one of important factors in determining the performance of embedded systems. With the development of multimedia and telecommunication technology, the higher level of performance environments is required. Moreover there is some difficulty in improving the performance of an RTOS which is based on a microprocessor. In this paper, we propose a hardware architecture to implement some functions of uC/OS-II as a target RTOS for the purpose of its performance improvement. The proposed architecture for uC/OS-II is implemented and analyzed with the performance comparison.
