The development of modern technology has rapidly grown the field of wearable devices. Wearable equipments should satisfy low power consumption and small/lightweight because of characteristics of body wearing. In this paper, an overview of wearable equipments is explained, and wearable device market is investigated. In addition, we investigate developed technology of wearable components, which is divided into component and communication technology. Meanwhile, a smart HSE system is required to meet the demand of the society for the serious industrial accident. To address this issue, we propose an interactive method between the wearable component and the HSE system, which are expected to be effective in safety management. As a detailed case study, a risk scenario is made with risk factors in welding workshop, and then we propose an interactive method between a wearable component and an HSE system that can reduce the risk. This proposed method is useful to achieve high level of worker's safety.

In ubiquitous computing environments that can be connected to the networks any time any where, wearable computer should be able to offer a variety service. The necessity of a variety service using wearable computer becomes more important. In this paper, we can not only provide services over interaction of wearable computer devices, but also propose the method of the better service over interaction of the cell phone.

In the labor-intensive construction site, potential threats of the musculoskeletal diseases mainly caused by various repetitive physical tasks, vulnerable environment, and the aging of the labor worker exist. However, quantitative measuring method of construction labor worker's work posture has not been improved yet. This study proposed musculoskeletal measuring method by using wearable motion recognition sensor for quantitative evaluation and analysis of working posture of construction workers. This method is expected to be used as a basic data for posture analysis and prevention construction safety accidents, as well as physical workload and labor productivity analysis by labor work type.

요즘 등산객의 수가 늘어나고 있으며 이에 따라 등산에 관련된 옷들과 장비들이 출시가 되고 있다. 이처럼 등산객이 늘어나고 새로운 등산복과 장비가 출시되었지만 해마나 등산 사고율은 여전히 증가하고 있다. 등산 사고 중 추락/낙상는 등산사고의 많은 비중을 차지한다. 이러한 사고가 일어났을 경우 빠르게 대처할 수 있는 방법으로는 다른 등산객이 구조대를 호출하는 방법 외에는 없다. 특히 혼자 등산을 하는 도중 추락사고가 일어나 혼자서 구조요청을 할 수 없는 상황이거나 정신을 잃었을 경우는 더욱더 그 상황을 대처하기가 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 자이로센서, 가속도센서와 지그비센서를 이용하여 등산객의 위치와 움직임의 방향 및 속도를 측정하여 근거리 무선 통신을 통해 실시간으로 스마트폰에 정보를 전송하여 사용자에게 알려 주는 기능과 추락/낙상 사고가 일어났을 경우 지정되어 있는 핸드폰으로 구조요청 메시지를 보내고, 구조대를 호출하여 초기에 대처할 수 있는 효과적인 방법을 제시하였다.

Modern people argue that mental health care is necessary because of various factors such as unstable income and conflict with others. Recently, equipments capable of measuring electrocardiogram (ECG) in wearable equipment have been widely used. In the case of overseas, it can be seen as a medical assistant [14]. By using such functions, studies are being conducted to distinguish representative emotions (joy, sadness, anger, etc.) with objective values. However, most studies are increasing accuracy by collecting complex bio-signals in a limited environment. Therefore, we examine the factors that have the greatest influence on the change and discrimination of biometric information on each stimulus.

There has been demand for many magnetic sensor applications, and to develop low-cost devices, it is critical to accurately understand the behavior of the magnetic field and the characteristics of magnetic sensors and target devices during initial development phase. The magnetic field has been known to have very complicated nonlinear data to calculate, so it has required expensive computing machines or research to accurately calculate the magnetic sensor values. However, this paper introduces a characteristic of a magnetic sensor called the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and proposes simple and sufficient approaches to develop a wearable joystick device using a magnetic sensor. Particularly, this paper introduces the design factors for how to properly develop a low-cost wearable joystick device using magnetic sensors after carefully considering the mechanism of a real joystick and the characteristics of magnetic sensors. As a result, user test results are provided to show how users can operate this new wearable joystick device.

This study analyzes the effects of the number of angles and bends on resistance in a conductor-embroidered stitch circuit for efficient power transfer through a conductor of wearable energy harvesting to study changes in power lost through connection with actual solar panels. In this study, the angle of the conductive stitch circuit was designed in units of 30˚, from 30˚ to 180˚, and the resistance was measured using an analog Discovery 2 device. The measured resistance value was analyzed, and in the section of the angle where the resistance value rapidly changes, it was measured again and analyzed in units of 5˚. Following this, from the results of the analysis, the angle at which the tension was applied to the stitch converges was analyzed, and the resistance was measured again by varying the number of bends of the stitch at the given angle. The resistance decreases as the angle of the stitch decreases and the number of bends increases, and the conductor embroidery stitch can reduce the loss of power by 1.61 times relative to general embroidery. These results suggest that the stitching of embroidery has a significant effect on the power transfer in the transmission through the conductors of wearable energy harvesting. These results indicate the need for a follow-up study to develop a conductor circuit design technology that compares and analyzes various types of stitches, such as curved stitches, and the number of conductors, so that wearable energy harvesting can be more efficiently produced and stored.

In this paper, We propose a study on the construction of an environment for collaboration in mixed reality and a method for working with wearable IoT devices. Mixed reality is a mixed form of virtual reality and augmented reality. We can view objects in the real and virtual world at the same time. And unlike VR, MR HMD does not occur the motion sickness. It is using a wireless and attracting attention as a technology to be applied in industrial fields. Myo wearable device is a device that enables arm rotation tracking and hand gesture recognition by using a triaxial sensor, an EMG sensor, and an acceleration sensor. Although various studies related to MR are being progressed, discussions on developing an environment in which multiple people can participate in mixed reality and manipulating virtual objects with their own hands are insufficient. In this paper, We propose a method of constructing an environment where collaboration is possible and an interaction method for smooth interaction in order to apply mixed reality in real industrial fields. As a result, two people could participate in the mixed reality environment at the same time to share a unified object for the object, and created an environment where each person could interact with the Myo wearable interface equipment.

Recently, many electronic devices have been integrated with various kinds of wireless sensor network technologies that have been enabled with wireless network connections. These wireless sensor network devices have adopted various kinds of wireless network technologies. On the other hand, because each wireless network technology has its advantages and disadvantages, the target and purposes should be considered carefully at the beginning of the development. In particular, the approach to the magnetic sensor should be considered carefully because it has its own characteristic compared to general sensors. The magnetic field generates nonlinear data. This paper introduces the design aspects to reflect low cost and wearable devices to use in a wireless sensor network. In addition, this paper addresses how to select proper sensor network technology. As a result, wireless sensor network devices were integrated using Zigbee and showed the performance of the throughput.
