If the power of the general is not supplied, Visual aids utilize solar power system. The power supply system of these, the role of the power regulator to manage the charging and discharging is very important. In recent years, by introducing the IT technology for the effective management of visual aids, it was supposed to add a device that uses the power consumption. Thus, the importance of power regulator has increased. Currently, the power regulator is installed inside the AtoN, if the accessibility is not ensured, there is a difficulty that can not be checked. In order to solve these problems, in this paper, you have installed the Blue-tooth module to the power regulator. Also, by using the Blue-tooth communication function of a smart phone, a radio check has implemented a possible monitoring system. Advantage of the system implemented is a simple configuration and low installation cost. Also, it is possible to check the state information of the real-time power supply regulator. In addition, it has the effect of preventing accidents and reducing costs of inspection.

Social issues for environmental pollution are continuously increasing globally. Especially, Users require services to measure environmental factors in indoor and outdoor and manage related data effectively and conveniently. According to this demand, sensors that can measure environmental factors in indoor and outdoor have been developed. However, since one sensor is composed of independent module, the interface of output data from each sensor is different. To solve the problem, we propose a customized protocol for low-power short-range wireless communication between smartphone using Bluetooth and All-in-One sensor device board and analyze the performance of the proposed customized protocol by developing program for performance verification of interface with user smartphone through Bluetooth. In addition, we implement a smartphone application using proposed protocol.

As the performance of mobile devices has increased, high-end multicore CPUs have become the norm in smartphones. However, such high performance devices are exposed to the problem of battery depletion due to the energy consumption caused by software performance, and despite increases in battery capacity. The required resources are dynamic and varied, and further user interaction is highly random; thus, Linux-based power management such as DVFS is needed to fulfill requirements. In order to reduce power consumption, we propose a method to restrict the CPU frequency of data download while maintaining user reactivity. This can supplement the weakness of existing Linux-based power management techniques like DVFS in relation to webpage loading. Through the implementation of our method at the application level, we confirm that energy consumption from webpage loading is reduced.

In this paper, we proposed the clothing management system using the smart hanger. Proposed system consists of smart hanger, base module, and server, and the smart hanger consists of MCU, LED, RFID reader, RF chip, ring sensor, and battery. The smart hanger reads the RFID tag attached to the clothes and wirelessly transmitted to the server. The server associated base module communicates with the smart hanger and transmits information to the server. The server manages clothing through the DB, and can display various information through the web page and the smart phone. In order to verify the usefulness of the proposed system, we did experiment with the management system for clothing store and laundry where using a lot of hangers. Performance tests of the smart hanger are applied to check the current consumption and can be predicted the battery life with the proposed low power algorithm. The clothing store management system can be increased sales and convenience of the consumer. The laundry management system can be increased the efficiency of laundry category and convenience of the consumer.

The convergence of IT technology and marine facilities monitoring system is needed for effective monitoring systems to marine facilities. Especially the spread of smart device such as smart phone, smart pad, smart TV provide an environment that can check the status of the marine facility for marin facilities manager. However, smart phones and smart pads are used in a variety of OS used. Thus the monitoring system of the various service environments is difficult. In addition, There is inconvenience that must individually developed monitoring system for each device. In order to solve this problem NMMS (N-Screen Marine-facility Monitoring System) is proposed. NMMS is consist of Real-time monitoring system, Fault diagnosis system, Data storage system. To improve variety of smart devices accessibility, we use HTML 5. Through NMMS, marine facilities manager can use smart device such as PC, Notebook, smart phone, smart pad for marine facilities monitoring.

Wearable devices have become practically indispensable to daily life and helped people track and manage fitness, health, and medical functions etc. As these wearable devices become smaller and more comfortable for the user, the demand for longer run time and charging ways presents new challenges for the power management engineer. Wireless power transfer (WPT) is the technology that forces the power to transmit electromagnetic field to an electrical load through an air gap without interconnecting wires. This technology is widely used for the applications from low power smart phone to high power electric railroad and main electrical grid. There are two kinds of WPT methods: Inductive coupling and magnetic resonant coupling. The model using magnetic resonant coupling method is designed for a resonant frequency of 13.45 MHz. In this study, the hardware implementations of these two coupling methods are carried out, and the efficiencies are compared.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic power management framework for multi-core systems. We reduced the power consumption of multi-core processors such as Intel Centrino Duo and ARM11 MPCore, which have been used at the consumer electronics and personal computer market. Each processor uses a different technique to save its power usage, but there is no embedded multi-core processor which has a precise power control mechanism such as dynamic voltage scaling technique. The proposed dynamic power management framework is suitable for smart phones which have an operating system to provide multi-processing capability. Basically, our framework follows an intuitive idea that reducing the power consumption of idle cores is the most effective way to save the overall power consumption of a multi-core processor. We could minimize the energy consumption used by idle cores with application-targeted policies that reflect the characteristics of active workloads. We defined some properties of an application to analyze the performance requirement in real time and automated the management process to verify the result quickly. We tested the proposed framework with popular processors such as Intel Centrino Duo and ARM11 MPCore, and were able to find that our framework dynamically reduced the power consumption of multi-core processors and satisfied the performance requirement of each program.

현재 규모가 작은 이름바 '동네 병원'에서는 환자관리의 어려움과 동네 병원의 특성상 병원 자체적인 예약 서비스를 실시하지 않는 병원이 많다. 또한 환자는 기다리는 환자들이 많은 시간에 방문하는 경우, 병원 안에서 자신의 순번을 마냥 기다리는 경우가 빈번하게 발생한다. 이와 같은 불편들 때문에 간호사는 고객에게 간호업무 이외에도 정신적인 서비스를 제공해야 하며, 환자들은 자신의 순번이 오기만을 하염없이 기다리는 등의 불필요한 시간 소모가 크고 자신의 앞에 대기하고있는 환자가 많으면 병원이 어수선하고 앉을 자리조차 없이 서서 기다리는 경우도 허다하다. 이런 불편함들을 조금이나마 해결해주고자 본 논문에서는 저전력 블루투스 (BLE) 기술 기반의 비콘(Beacon)을 활용하여 스마트폰을 이용해 병원 내부적인 예약 서비스가 없어도 자체적인 예약 서비스와 이용자가 스마트폰을 가지고 병원에 들어가기만 해도 자동으로 병원 진료접수를 진행하고 이를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 사물인터넷 기반 병원 대기시간 최적화 서비스와 그 핵심 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 이용하면 간호사는 이전보다 간호업무에 더 집중할 수 있게 되고, 환자는 북적거리는 병원 대기실에 앉아서 기다리지 않고 실외로 나가 자신의 업무를 보고 진료시간에 맞춰서 돌아와 진료를 받는 '사람이 많아도 한적해 보이는 스마트 병원'을 만들 수 있을 것이라 본다.
