Based on the use cases of image recognition technology, this study looked at how artificial intelligence plays a role in image recognition technology. Through image recognition technology, satellite images can be analyzed with artificial intelligence to reveal the calculation of oil storage tanks in certain countries. And image recognition technology makes it possible for searching images or products similar to images taken or downloaded by users, as well as arranging fruit yields, or detecting plant diseases. Based on deep learning and neural network algorithms, we can recognize people's age, gender, and mood, confirming that image recognition technology is being applied in various industries. In this study, we can look at the use cases of domestic and overseas image recognition technology, as well as see which methods are being applied to the industry. In addition, through this study, the direction of future research was presented, focusing on various successful cases in which image recognition technology was implemented and applied in various industries. At the conclusion, it can be considered that the direction in which domestic image recognition technology should move forward in the future.

Energy management aims to financial and ecological success by optimizing the energy consuming sources such as sensors, computers and appliances. Hence, acquiring energy-related data from the sources in an automated manner is the starting point of managing energy. Recently, awareness computing has been emerging in system and cybernetics area. Awareness is the most fundamental ability for any living things to survive, and also the first step to make systems intelligent with the help of artificial intelligence. Even though the potential reciprocal benefits between energy management and awareness computing, frameworks which show how awareness computing contributes to manage energy-related strategy have been very few. Hence, this paper aims to introduce the awareness computing issues to improve energy management. In particular, we focus on satisfaction awareness computing which potentially realize the balance of energy savings and user's utility.

This study is focused on user awareness of avatar character in the cyber space. The purpose of this study is to investigate user preference toward avatar and test their awareness on it. The awareness of avatar is based on the applied degree of self-awareness, and also analyzed by factors using 3 elements such as loyalty, value and confidence in Maurice Wagner's study but self-projection was added to these three variables. The result shows that there is no significant statistical difference among response groups for age and sex classification but the preference and the value variables are significantly dependent on sex and age, respectively. There are strong correlation among each response variables for the awareness of avatar character and the loyalty and the preference variables are mostly correlated. The regression analysis shows that the preference of avatar is mostly affected by loyalty and thus the self awareness of avatar in the Cyberspace is proportional to user preference. It is shown that users do not awareness an avatar as a visual image but identify their avatar as an another selfness since they project themselves into those avatars.

As smart phones with built-in sensors are developed, research on recognition using wearable devices is increasing. Existing papers are mostly limited on research to personal activity recognition. In this paper, we propose a method to recognize conceptual group activity. Before doing recognition, we generate new data based on the analysis of the conceptual group activity in a classroom. The study focuses on three activities in the classroom environment: Taking Lesson, Doing Presentation and Discussing. With the proposed algorithm, the recognition rate is over 96%. Using this method in real time will make it easy to automatically analyze the activity and the purpose of the classrooms. Moreover, it can increase the utilization of the classroom through the data analysis. Further research will focus on group activity recognition in other environments and the design of an group activity recognition system.

This study aims to examine how the specialty of librarians links between users' library experience and their resulting perception of the library in public libraries. After reviewing theoretical background studies, a questionnaire survey was conducted at six public libraries in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The analysis of the survey results showed that the perception of librarians' specialty had a mediation effect on the relationship between cultural, educational activity and library perception. However, information activity was not linked by the perception of librarians' specialty and only directly influenced on the library perception. Accordingly, the result raised a question of a discrepancy between the areas where the users gain the value of the library and where the librarians' specialty is perceived and some implications were suggested. This research is meaningful in integrating the users' library experience, librarians' specialty, and the library performance by external point of view on the specialty, traditionally regarded as an internal characteristic of the librarianship.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the gloss of a product's packaging on purchase intention and the mediating role of perceived corporate eco-friendliness and perceived quality in food area. The participants were randomly assigned to product package condition (glossy vs. matte) and after observing ketchup and potato chips, they responded to questions on about perceived corporate eco-friendliness, perceived quality, and purchase intention. The participants reported their opinion that companies that manufactured matte package products would likely use more organic ingredients and would be more eco-friendly than companies that manufactured glossy package products. The more the participants perceived a company to be eco-friendly, the better they evaluated the company's product quality and the higher their purchase intention. This study has theoretical and practical implications, in that it extends the study of the product package in relation to its effect on corporate image, and it proposes a practical use of matte product package for improving the eco-friendly image of the company. Limitations and further research were also discussed.

Extensive researches on PC control system via interaction between PC and users are being conducted recently, especially on human finger recognition in the electronic devices. Heretofore, researches on methods to improve the accuracy of finger recognition in a single device and to control the devices with it have been the mainstream, whereas many different industries where finger recognition become more utilized are demanding researches on methods to selectively control the system of multiple devices for applications in various environments and situations. This article demonstrates attempts to selectively control one of two devices through finger recognition. Along with this, experiments conducted with 6 variable conditions are demonstrated here, where the optimal condition to increase the rate of successful selective finger recognition between two devices is studied.

The purpose of this study is on the Shera's sociological aspect of librarianship. Jesse H. Shera, educator, philosopher, and theoretician, considered that perhaps his most significant contribution to librarianship was not a “thing” but a “concept”. Library was created to meet certain social necessities, and that its development is closely related not only to intellectual history but also to change in the organizational structure and the value system of its supporting culture. It is axiomatic, then, that the library as a social instrumentality. is, as it has always been, conditioned and shaped by the social milieu within which it function. Therefore we are concerned with the need for a new epistemological discipline, a body of new about knowledge itself.

This study explored the concept of context-aware computing and its application to the library and information services. Context-aware computing represents mobile computing techniques which gather, analyze user's contextual information and provide appropriate information services for the specific user. The idea was proposed in the late 90's but it was not widely available to the public because of the technology limitation. Recent technology development made context-aware computing possible to apply to our everyday-life information seeking using smart phone and showed the usefulness of its application. This study introduced the concept of context-aware computing with some examples of it, and finally tried to propose some of its applications to the library and information services.
