최근 대형 디스플레이 및 웨어러블 컴퓨터의 등장과 함께 키보드와 마우스를 사용하는 일반 데스크탑 환경에서 벗어난 컴퓨터와의 자연스러운 상호 작용 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스크린 정면에 놓인 프로젝터가 스크린과 그 위에 놓인 사용자의 손 위에 화면을 투영할 때 PC 카메라로 입력된 프레임 속에서 손의 영역을 인식하여 컴퓨터와 상호작용하게 하고자 한다. 이 경우에 투영된 빛이 사용자의 손 위에도 합쳐짐으로 인하여 피부의 고유색이 사라진다. 또한, 투영되는 화면이 사용자와 컴퓨터의 상호 작용에 따라 추정할 수 없이 변함에 따른 적응적 인식 방법이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 손을 인식하기에 앞서 스크린에 투영될 원본 이미지에 대해 칼라 보정을 수행하여 추정되는 카메라 입력 프레임을 생성한다. 이를 위해 우선 백색 영상을 투영하여 프레임 내의 자기 오차 맵을 생성한 후 R,G,B 채널 별로 원본 값에 대한 카메라 반응 값들을 룩업 테이블에 저장한다. 이를 통해 원본 이미지에 대해 칼라보정을 수행하고, 생성된 카메라 추정 프레임과 실제 카메라로 입력된 프레임 간 자기 성분을 비교하여 손 영역을 검출한다. 실험 결과, 주변의 조명 상태나 프로젝터 및 카메라의 위치에 관계없이 안정적인 인식 결과를 보였다.

코딩 교육에 대한 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 국가 주도적 교육이 강화되고 있다. 컴퓨터 프로그래밍이 낯선 교육생을 위해 교육 커리큘럼에 블록 코딩을 도입하고 있으나 낮은 흥미도로 인해 여전히 교육 성취도가 낮게 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 프로그래밍에 대한 관심을 유발하고 학습을 보조하는 드론 기반의 체감형 교육 프로그램모델을 제시한다. 제시하는 교육 모델은 사용자가 코딩한 블록 코드를 파이썬 코드로 변환하여 보여주고, 블록 코드로 첨부된 드론의 동작을 제어하도록 코딩할 수 있다. 사용자의 심화학습을 위해 추가적으로 제공하는 웨어러블 장갑 컨트롤러를 통해 드론과 연관하여 동작 제어가 가능하게 하여 흥미 유발과 더불어 학습 효과 향상을 기대할 수 있다.

This paper predict user acceptance of smart clothing. The present research develops and validates new products for smart clothing. Studies suggest that further analysis of the process be undertaken to better establish properties for smart clothing, underlying structures and stability over innovative technologies. The findings reported in this paper should be useful methods which identify user needs. such findings in now provide a way to explain technology acceptance. Both of qualitative and quantitative methods, were applied to this study in order to find out user needs for smart clothing. We are writing scenarios and conducting both focused group interviews and a survey to assess the user's interest. The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the importance of the functions and to evaluate the degree of the participant's feeling and attitude. Furthermore, we explore the nature and specific influences of factors that may affect the user perception and usage.

The U-Healthcare era has evolved with the development of the Internet of things (IoT) in the early stages of being connected as a society. Already, many changes such as increased well-being and the extension of human life are becoming evident across cultures. Korea entered the growing group of aging societies in 2017, and its silver industry is expected to grow rapidly by adopting the IoT of a super-connected society. In particular, the senior shift phenomenon has resulted in increased interest in the promotion of the health and well-being of the emergent silver generation which, unlike the existing silver generation, is highly active and wields great economic power. This study conducted in-depth interviews to investigate the characteristics of the new silver generation, and to develop the design for a wearable serious game that intends to boost the interest of the elderly in exercise and fitness activities according to their personalized physical training regimes as prescribed by the U-Hospital service. The usage scenario of this wearable serious game for the 'U-silver generation' is derived from social necessity. Medical professionals can utilize this technology to conduct health examinations and to monitor the rehabilitation of senior patients. The elderly can also use this tool to request checkups or to interface with their healthcare providers. The wearable serious game is further aimed at mitigating concerns about the deterioration of the physical functions of the silver generation by applying personalized exercise prescriptions. The present investigation revealed that it is necessary to merge the on / off line community activities to meet the silver generation's daily needs for connection and friendship. Further, the sustainability of the serious game must be enhanced through the inculcation of a sense of accomplishment as a player rises through the levels of the game. The proposed wearable serious game is designed specifically for the silver generation that is inexperienced in using digital devices: simple game rules are applied to a familiar interface grounded on the gourmet travels preferred by the target players to increase usability.

In this paper, the autonomous mobile robot control system for detecting fire was proposed using the wearable device based on EMG(Electromyogram) signal. Myo armband is used for detecting the user's EMG signal. The gesture was classified after sending the data of EMG signal to a computer using Bluetooth communication. Then the robot named 'uBrain' was implemented to move by received data from Bluetooth communication in our experiment. 'Move front', 'Turn right', 'Turn left', and 'Stop' are controllable commands for the robot. And if the robot cannot receive the Bluetooth signal from a user or if a user wants to change manual mode to autonomous mode, the robot was implemented to be in the autonomous mode. The robot flashes the LED when IR sensor detects the fire during moving.

Recognizing finger movements have been used as a intuitive way of human-computer interaction. In this study, we implement an wearable device for finger motion recognition and evaluate the accuracy of several ML (Machine learning) techniques. Not only HMM (Hidden markov model) and DTW (Dynamic time warping) techniques that have been traditionally used as time series data analysis, but also NN (Neural network) technique are applied to compare and analyze the accuracy of each technique. In order to minimize the computational requirement, we also apply the pre-processing to each ML techniques. Our extensive evaluations demonstrate that the NN-based gesture recognition system achieves 99.1% recognition accuracy while the HMM and DTW achieve 96.6% and 95.9% recognition accuracy, respectively.

As mobile technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart homes and financial technologies (FinTech) are developed, authentication by smart devices is used everywhere. As a result, presence-based biometric authentication using smart devices has become a new mainstream in knowledge-based authentication methods like the existing passwords. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is less prone to forgery, and high-level personal identification is its unique feature from among various biometric authentication methods, such as the pulse, fingerprints, the face, and the iris. Biometric authentication using an ECG is receiving a great deal of attention due to its uses in healthcare and FinTech. In this study, we implemented an ECG authentication system that allows users to easily measure and authenticate their ECG waveforms using a miniaturized wearable device, rather than a large and expensive measurement device. The implemented ECG authentication system identifies ECG features through P-Q-R-S-T feature point identification, and was user-certified under the proposed authentication protocols. Finally, assessment of measurements in a majority of adult males showed a relatively low false acceptance rate of 1.73%, and a low false rejection rate of 4.14%, in a stable normal state. In a high-activity state, the false acceptance rate was 13.72%, and the false rejection rate was 21.68%. In a high-heart rate state, the false acceptance rate was 10.48%, and the false rejection rate was 11.21%.

소형 모바일 디바이스는 일반적으로 배터리로 동작하는 등 전력제한적이며 시스템 메모리 및 자원 제약적이다. 또한 소형 모바일 디바이스에서 실행되는 응용프로그램은 일반적으로 시스템의 일부 기능만을 이용하여 수행된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시스템에서 제공하는 서비스를 각각의 컴포넌트로 구현하고 응용프로그램의 요구에 따라 소프트웨어 플랫폼을 동적으로 재구성할 수 있는 소프트웨어 플랫폼을 설계 및 구현하였다. 구현한 플랫폼을 웨어러블 컴퓨터 보드에 포팅하여 정상 동작함을 확인하였다.
