Context-aware application plays an important role in ubiquitous computing (ubiComp) environment by providing user with anytime, anywhere services even without any explicitly triggered command. In this paper we propose a unified context-aware application model which is an essential part to develop various applications in ubiquitous computing environment. The proposed model affirms the independence between sensor and application by using unified context in the form of 5W1H. It also ensures that application exploits relatively accurate context to trigger personalized services. To show usefulness of the proposed model, we apply it to the sensors and applications in the ubiHome, a test bed for ubiComp-enabled home applications. According to the experimental results, without loss of generality, we believe it can be extended to various context-aware applications in daily life.

Context-Aware is a one of the important researches in ubiquitous computing for providing optimal service to users by acquiring user's intentions and environmental information. Diverse researches are focused on the users and its environment facts for Context-Aware base and introduce a sensing based middleware which engages sever/sensor that operates identifier information to provide services. Context-Aware service which is limited by users and environment facts has the problem of overlapping sensing, unnecessary searching and anonymity of users. Also Server-Centric Context-Aware system requires very high cost to manage and operate the services. On this paper, We introduce Autogenous Context service model to simplify the Context-Aware process and design the middleware which performs decentralize management for Context-Aware information of user's portable devices to minimize problems which is occurred during the management and operation of existing Context-Aware system.

Scene boundary detection is important in the understanding of semantic structure from video data. However, it is more difficult than shot change detection because scene boundary detection needs to understand semantics in video data well. In this paper, we propose a new approach to scene segmentation using contextual information in video data. The contextual information is divided into two categories: local and global contextual information. The local contextual information refers to the foreground regions' information, background and shot activity. The global contextual information refers to the video shot's environment or its relationship with other video shots. Coherence, interaction and the tempo of video shots are computed as global contextual information. Using the proposed contextual information, we detect scene boundaries. Our proposed approach consists of three consecutive steps: linking, verification, and adjusting. We experimented the proposed approach using TV dramas and movies. The detection accuracy of correct scene boundaries is over than 80%.

What is important in ubiquitous computing is collecting users' context information from various sensors and providing services suitable for use's current situation. Particularly in mobile environment, each area has different context awareness structure and this makes it difficult to share information with other areas. As a result, context resources for recognizing users' context ate insufficient. Moreover, because mobile devices have a limited processing capacity, there are difficulties in the real time analysis of users' context. This paper proposed a context awareness and integration model for analyzing users' context actively and providing adaptive services using mobile devices. The proposed model distinguishes users' context between dynamic and static structure to analyze the context, and obtains context resources by sharing context information of users within an area.

In ubiquitous computer environment, by improving the computer's access to context information for dynamic service adaptation, we can increase richness of communication in human computer interaction and make it possible to produce more useful computational services. We need new data structure in order to flexible apply dynamic information to current context information repository and enhance the communication ability between human and computer. In this paper, we proposed to C-A-V (Category-Attribute-Value) context metadata structure required to support dynamic service adaptation for increasing communication ability in user-centric environments. We also classify the context metadata, as well as define its relationship with other context information on the basis of the application services, changes in the external environments.

Context-aware systems require sensor data collecting model and context representing model to provide user-demand services. Sensor data collecting model consists of sensor access information, sensor value, and definition of value types. Context representing model involves certain keywords to symbolize environmental information including the field from sensor data collecting model that is described in markup language such as XML. However, duplicated keywords could be assigned to different contextual information by service developers. As a result, the system may cause misunderstanding and misleading wrong situational information from unintended contextual information. In this paper, we propose a context classification model for collecting appropriate access information and defining the specification of context.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅에 대한 연구의 일환으로 사용자의 상황이나 의도를 파악하여 최적의 서비스를 제공하는 방법에 대한 연구가 활성화되고 있다. 최근 이러한 연구의 일환으로 온톨로지를 이용한 상황인식 시스템이 제기되고 있는데, 이는 컨텍스트에 대한 다양한 표현력 및 뛰어난 확장성을 가지고 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 연구에서 부족했던 컨텍스트의 정형화된 표현 및 다양한 도메인에 대한 확장성을 보완한 온톨로지 기반의 Context-awareness Framework 을 설계하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 Framework 은 하위 컨텍스트를 사전처리 및 Fuzzy 를 이용하여 상위 컨텍스트로 변환하며 이를 하나의 통합된 컨텍스트인 상황(Situation)으로 표현함으로써 추론 및 서비스를 유연하게 제공할 수 있다.

We propose optimal contexts for context-adaptive coding of stereo parameters in parametric stereo (PS) of enhanced aacPlus. For the quantized indexes of stereo parameters, 8 context candidates were proposed based on the index values and their combinations adjacent to a source index in the time-stereo band domain, where the time-stereo band region was further divided into 4 regions based on refresh/non-refresh frames and stereo bands. The optimal contexts for each region were proposed by experiments, which are expected to be used for context-adaptive coding of PS for improved performance.

Context-based information services are required in ubiquitous application. In the ubiquitous application, ubiquitous commerce addresses information service that recommends items to consumers with the use of the situated contexts. This paper proposes a multi-context based information service for ubiquitous commerce. This enables a consumer to get multi-context based information efficiently by using consumer's attention for each context. The method is described and an ubiquitous commerce application prototype based on multi-context is presented. Several experiments are performed and the results verify that the proposed method's performance is better than other existing method.
