A wide variety of smartphone applications is increasing the usage time of smartphone. Due to the increased time, it becomes difficult to providing stable services to users with limited battery capacity. The past works have been performed the power management of mobile device toward long-lasting battery development or low-power electric devices. However as the complexity of software embedded into system are increased, the research interests of the software power analysis is also increased. Among these studies on the software power analysis, model-based analysis technique is one of major interests because it can be able to analyze the power consumption before the development of source codes, then the analysis result can be used in the development of the software system, This paper suggests a model-based power analysis technique using UML state machine diagram. Our proposed technique estimates the power consumption by the simulation of Perti-net which is transformed from the state machine diagram.

NAND flash memory has been widely used than traditional HDD in PDA and other mobile devices, embedded systems, PC because of faster access speed, low power consumption, vibration resistance and other benefits. DiskSim and other HDD simulators has been developed that for find improvements for the software or hardware. But there is a few Linux-based simulators for NAND flash memory and SSD. There is necessary for Windows-based NAND flash simulator because storage devices and PC using Windows. This paper describe for development of simulator-NFSim for FTL performance analysis in NAND flash. NFSim is used to measure performance of various FTL algorithms and FTL wear-level. NAND flash memory model and FTL algorithm developed using Windows Driver Model and class for scalability. There is no need for another tools because NFSim using graph tool for data measure of FTL performance.

The LM algorithm is used in solving the least square problem in a non linear system, and is used in various fields. However, in cases the applied field's target functionis complicated and high-dimensional, it takes a lot of time solving the inner matrix and vector operations. In such cases, the LM algorithm is unsuitable in embedded environment and requires a hardware accelerator. In this paper, we implemented the LM algorithm in hardware. In the implementation, we used pipeline stages to divide the target function operation, and reduced the period of data input of the matrix and vector operations in order to accelerate the speed. To measure the performance of the implemented hardware, we applied the refining fundamental matrix(RFM), which is a part of 3D reconstruction application. As a result, the implemented system showed similar performance compared to software, and the execution speed increased in a product of 74.3.

Modern day people can easily use an e-mail client for general communication, because of using Internet and cellular phone. The mail client for the purpose of private and business affair, advertisement, news searching, and business letter is widely used and has side effects. People could send an important document via an electronic mail client. It is important to support an e-mail client intelligent. We think that many kinds of techniques of natural language processing must be provided in the client with human's emotion. We consider to design a new mail client with six kinds of senders' emotional information; delight, angry, sad feeling and message to express, manner of talking, a discomfort index etc. Before sending an e-mail, we suggest a user to correct a bad word because we do not want to feel bad to a receiver. We present a proper process of sending/receiving for users with a new designed e-mail clients.

In recent years, keypoint recognition and tracking technologies are considered as crucial task in many practical systems for markerless augmented reality. The keypoint recognition and technologies are widely studied in many research areas, including computer vision, robot navigation, human computer interaction, and etc. Moreover, due to the rapid growth of mobile market related to augmented reality applications, several effective keypoint-based matching and tracking methods have been introduced by considering mobile embedded systems. Therefore, in this paper, we extensively analyze the recent research trends on keypoint-based recognition and tracking with several core components: keypoint detection, description, matching, and tracking. Then, we also present one of our research related to mobile augmented reality, named mobile tour guide system, by real-time recognition and tracking of tour maps on mobile devices.

AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector) routing protocol was devised for use of mobile nodes in Ad-hoc network. When we use the AODV routing protocol in Ad-hoc networks with high mobility, disturbance of optimized route path and link break occur. In order to solve the shortcomings, this paper proposes a new routing protocol in which new routing control messages are added to the existing AODV. The proposed protocol minimizes link break and transmission delay while is able to secure the optimized route path constantly in changes of network topology The performance of the proposed routing protocol was evaluated by using us2 network simulator. The actual Ad-hoc network test bed provides us the most reliable experimental data for Ad-hoc networks. In order to support this experimental environment, the dissertation also developed an efficient embedded system on which AODV routing protocol, NAT, Netfilter can run and other event message can be verified without declining efficiency. The correct operation of AODV routing protocol has been verified in both the Ad-hoc network test bed in which the embedded system was used, and Ad-hoc networks linked with Ethernet backbone network.

The Hough transform for line detection is widely used in many machine vision applications due to its robustness against data loss and distortion. However, it is not appropriate for real-time embedded vision systems, because it has inefficient computation structure and demands a large number of memory accesses. Thus, this paper proposes an improved voting scheme of the Hough transform, and then applies this scheme to a Hough transform hardware architecture so that it can provide real-time performance with less hardware resource. The proposed voting scheme reduces computation overhead of the voting procedure using correlation between adjacent pixels, and improves computational efficiency by increasing reusability of vote values. The proposed hardware architecture, which adopts this improved scheme, maximizes its throughput by computing and storing vote values for many adjacent pixels in parallel. This parallelization for throughput improvement is accomplished with little hardware overhead compared with sequential computation.

Recently, the automobile industry is going through drastic environmental changes. The relative importance of information technology rapidly developed so far is getting heavier as it is grafted to electrical and electronic areas among all other automobile-related technologies. In this paper, an improved algorithm from the real-time scheduling algorithm of operation system which is loaded in embedded system will be presented. The number of wait-queue of priority was reduced from 16 to 4 in the parts where wide differences were shown in scheduling algorithm of the existing OSEK OS. While the FIFO algorithm was used in wait-queue, the EDF algorithm was applied to the proposed scheduling algorithm, which more improved the real-timeness. Also a simple experiment on the proposed scheduling algorithm was conducted.

Generally, SAW device, which uses Time Domain Sampling, requires high speed A/D converter because SAW device using TDS needs high sampling speed as much as its high data speed. However, the high price of A/D converter discourages makers from using it. On the other hand, SAW device, which uses Frequency Domain Sampling, does not required high speed A/D converter because SAW device using FDS does not need high sampling speed. It is very efficient in price comparison to its performance because high processing speed of SAW device using FDS can be implemented using low price Embedded Systems. The purpose of the paper is to solve the issues above by designing and realizing SAW device(FDS) using SAW sensor for TDS.
