On Android environment, program development is conducted with JAVA SDK. However, using JAVA, it is operated over virtual machine which shows lower performance in terms of speed than traditional C language programming. The method writes program in C language, which conducts operation efficiently. In the paper, we implement multiplication using NDK and SDK to analyze the public key cryptography over Android environment. In case of SDK, we used BigInteger package and in case of NDK, we used Comb method. Moreover, execution time of arithmetic, branch and call operations over Android environment is compared to understand performance enhancement using NDK package.

This paper compares the Java program environments and NDK program environments in the Android system. This paper experiments that how much is the performance enhancement in the NDK C programming of the Android system. I program sum of 1 to n for Java program and NDK C program. I experiment whether the influence an effect on a performance by changing n value. In experiment, NDK C program is over 50% performance enhancement than Java program.

Android program is developed with JAVA SDK and executed over virtual machine. For this reason, programming is easier than traditional C language but performance of operating speed decreases. To enhance the performance, NDK development tool, which provides C language, assembly language environment, was proposed. Furthermore, with NEON function provided by ARM, we can utilize the vector operation and enhance performance. In the paper, we explore effectiveness of NDK and then propose advanced multiplication structure with NEON function.

Almost all the mobile phone users already moved or are now moving away to smartphones for their various applications like games. If we are to speak about game applications, due to the performance limits of smartphones, 2D games are predominant over 3D games in every app. store. In this paper, we implement a 3D cube game application by porting an existing visual c++ irrlicht cube application to android platform library using the android Native Development Kit. After the porting is done, we add a few new features for more fun. Because the android NDK makes the existing C/C++ codes run directly on the android operating systems, we found by real execution tests that our 3D cube app. is well executed on a low-end android smartphone without any performance problem.

Though Android-based smart phones are being released in Korea, Korean TTS engine is not built on them and Google has not announced service or software developer's kit related to Korean TTS officially. Thus, application developers who want to include Korean TTS capability in their application have difficulties. In this paper, we design and implement Android OS-based Korean TTS system and service. For speed, text preprocessing and synthesis libraries are implemented using Android NDK. By using Java's thread mechanism and the AudioTrack class, the response time of TTS is minimized. For the test of implemented service, an application that reads incoming SMS is developed. The test shows that synthesized speech are generated in real-time for random sentences. By using the implemented Korean TTS service, Android application developers can transmit information easily through voice. Korean TTS service proposed and implemented in this paper overcomes shortcomings of the existing restrictive synthesis methods and provides the benefit for application developers and users.

Java crypto library such as SUN JCA/JCE or BC JCE is generally used to implement secure applications for smart devices using Android platform. Programming functions written by Java language are launched and executed inside Java Virtual Machine (JVM), thereby difficult to use system hardware specific functionalities and degrading performance as well. In case of crypto primitive, few secure applications can use crypto primitive executing in JVM because both amount of computing and complexity of such primitives are very high. From the aspect of performance, in particular, time sensitive real time applications such as streaming services or secure application frequently applying public key based crypto algorithm cannot use Java crypto library. To solve the problem, we design and implement crypto library which employ JNI and NDK methods to directly access functions that implemented by native language such as C or C++. The proposed Java Crypto provider supports faster execution. Also developer can use our provider in the same way by writing traditional Java crypto library.

In this paper, we implemented the Android NDK porting application with Eclipse(JDK) ADT and TinyOS 2.0. TinyOS and Cygwin are component based embedded system and an Open-source basis for interfacing with sensor application from H-mote. Cygwin is a collection of tools for using the Linux environment for commercially released with x86 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows. TinyOS-2. x is a component based embedded OS by UC Berkeley and is an Open-source OS designed for interfacing the sensor application with specific C-language. The results of Android porting experiment are described to show the improvement of sensor interfacing functionality under the PXA320 embedded RTOS platform. We will further more develop the software programming of Android porting under Embedded platform and enhance the functionality of the Android SDK with mobile gaming and kernel programming under sensor interfacing activity.

현재 Android 에서는 대부분 Java 언어로 응용 프로그램을 개발한다. 그러나 C 언어로 응용 프로그램을 개발해야 하는 경우도 많다. Android 에서 C 언어로 응용 프로그램을 개발하기 위해서는 NDK(Native Development Kit) 를 설치해서 사용해야 한다. Android 시스템에서 Linux 커널은 Android Runtime Java 프로세스만을 부팅한다. 그러나 만약 Android 에서 C 프로세스를 부팅한다면 C 언어로 직접 응용 프로그램을 개발할 수 있다. 본 논문은 Android 시스템에서 Android C 프로세스를 부팅시키는 간단한 방법을 제시한다. 그리고 적합한 C/C++ GUI(Graphic User Interface) 라이브러리와 응용 라이브러리를 확보하거나 또는 개발하여 설치한다면, 현재의 Java Android 를 C Android 로 변환시키게 된다.

According to the statistics of traffic accidents over recent 5 years, traffic accidents during the night times happened more than the day times. There are various causes to occur traffic accidents and the one of the major causes is inappropriate or missing street lights that make driver's sight confused and causes the traffic accidents. In this paper, with smartphones, we designed and implemented a lane luminance measurement application which stores the information of driver's location, driving, and lane luminance into database in real time to figure out the inappropriate street light facilities and the area that does not have any street lights. This application is implemented under Native C/C++ environment using android NDK and it improves the operation speed than code written in Java or other languages. To measure the luminance of road, the input image with RGB color space is converted to image with YCbCr color space and Y value returns the luminance of road. The application detects the road lane and calculates the road lane luminance into the database sever. Also this application receives the road video image using smart phone's camera and improves the computational cost by allocating the ROI(Region of interest) of input images. The ROI of image is converted to Grayscale image and then applied the canny edge detector to extract the outline of lanes. After that, we applied hough line transform method to achieve the candidated lane group. The both sides of lane is selected by lane detection algorithm that utilizes the gradient of candidated lanes. When the both lanes of road are detected, we set up a triangle area with a height 20 pixels down from intersection of lanes and the luminance of road is estimated from this triangle area. Y value is calculated from the extracted each R, G, B value of pixels in the triangle. The average Y value of pixels is ranged between from 0 to 100 value to inform a luminance of road and each pixel values are represented with color between black and green. We store car location using smartphone's GPS sensor into the database server after analyzing the road lane video image with luminance of road about 60 meters ahead by wireless communication every 10 minutes. We expect that those collected road luminance information can warn drivers about safe driving or effectively improve the renovation plans of road luminance management.
