Recent days, the global warming problem due to excessive use of fossil fuels has been the world wide issue so that Korea government and developed countries make an alternative plan for eco-friendly and transportations by utilizing bicycles for health promotion. Existing Public Bicycle Rental Service Systems provide simple service such as bicycle rental management and tracking the location. However there is no user-side service for the information of the measure of carbon reduction, or use of bicycles. The proposed system in this paper provides users' health information, environmental information, personal information, counseling services and the measures of carbon reduction. The new system has been developed to carry out reducing carbon and growing green in terms of using bicycles by adopting Web 2.0 technology.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand low-income elders' experiences of community-based u-Health services. Methods: Qualitative data were collected from 11 participants. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcribed data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Three themes and eight sub-themes emerged as a result of analysis. The three main themes were 'recovered confidence and health condition,' 'trial and error in change,' and 'hope.'The eight sub-themes were 'the burden and efforts to overcome it in using bio-signal device,' 'ambivalence due to changing lifestyle,' 'increase of care time, decrease of pressure', 'conflict under environmental constraints,' 'difficulty in prioritizing health management,' 'discouragement in handling new devices,' 'desire not to be a burden to their children-gradual fulfillment of learning needs,' and 'long for broadening coverage range of services.' Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that low-income elders among the participants have different needs in using u-Health services. Therefore, health professionals need to give personalized education to deal with their conflicts and requirements, especially emotional and environmental support in order for them to successfully accept the u-Health services for self-care.

In this paper we suggest the technique to improve the reliability of U-Health system. The idea is that a video recoding start at only the emergency data of patients. This technique reduces the reliability of U-Health system. In the suggested U-Health system based on video control technique, bio sensors are used to send the state information of patients to a server. The server analyzes the health state of patients from base nodes and start video recoding and sends the video information about the patients in the emergent state to the nearest hospital.

생활 속 사물들을 유 무선 네트워크를 이용하여 상호 연결하고 정보를 공유하는 환경을 사물인터넷이라고 한다. 즉, 인터넷을 기반으로 모든 사물을 연결하여 사람과 사물, 사물과 사물 간의 정보를 상호 소통하는 지능형 기술 및 서비스로서 기존의 유선 통신 기반 인터넷 및 모바일 인터넷보다 진화된 다음 단계의 인터넷을 의미한다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 사물인터넷은 가전제품을 비롯한 전자기기뿐만 아니라 원격검침, 헬스케어, 스마트홈, 스마트카, 스마트팩토리 등의 다양한 분야에서 가정 및 산업용으로 응용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 임베디드 디바이스를 사용하여 가정의 전자기기를 사용환경을 구성하고 이러한 장치들과 소통하고 제어할 수 있는 웹 기반의 플랫폼 환경에 대하여 제안한다.

Purpose: The aim was to measure the real-time trans-mission effect of blood-pressure and blood-glucose value based on u-healthcare for saving the time and effort of nursing recording time. Methods: This study used a u-healthcare system based on the international standards for the exchange of health information. In order to verify the effectiveness of the u-healthcare, a clinical trial for the system regarding blood-pressure and blood-glucose targeting of patients with endocrine disorders at KNUH from February 7 to 9, 2012 was performed. Results: According to the analyzed results, of the 86 times the 11 patients were tested, measuring blood-pressure and blood-glucose using the u-healthcare system, we found the time differences between the real-time transfer recording method and existing hospital records that were used in the hospital. Based on the average time interval, there was a difference of 1,090.45 seconds (18.17 minutes). Conclusion: Therefore, it's cumbersome that nurses in the hospital have to record the numerical values of the measured blood-pressure and blood-glucose manually and input the recorded values directly into the electronic nursing record system. However, it was found in terms of the newly designed system, that it could save time and effort for nurses, since measured information is sent to the hospital information system on a real-time basis.

In this paper, we proposed a distributed gateway for ubiquitous healthcare system. We also designed and implemented protocol conversion and processing algorithms to exchange a seamless information, the bio signals between the databases and the receiving devices from ZigBee to gateway and from the gateway to database and network. The distributed gateway system consists of the bio signal acquisition, ZigBee modules, distributed databases, and gateways. The bio signals detected by the ZigBee module are sent to the gateway. The distributed gateway analyzes the data being transferred, sends those to the receiving devices, and lets the authorized personnel access. The proposed system can be utilized in various fields including activity analysis for the elderly, security systems, home network service, and so on.

For a basic engineering education Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method was adopted in order to pursuit the learner acquisition of critical knowledge, problem solving proficiency, and self-directed learning strategies by measurements of various physical and biological units, by calculation of errors in experimental data, by leraning energy conservation law and equation of motion, and, by analysis ability on data patterns through Elliptical Trainer(ET) exercise. The results show the ET may be a good experimental tool for understanding the PBL method. A sample syllabus was provided for one semester use, and by use of data obtained by self-directed and creative learning, the results of three groups for the PBL problems proposed by using ET were (1) the slope of angle was 23.5o in the diagram of energy exhaustion against velocity (GROUP A), (2) the angle range between the maximal and minimal energy exhaustion against weight loss was 15.0o ~ 26.5o (GROUP B), and finally (3) the angle was varied by 51.0o in the diagram of weight loss against distance (GROUP C).
