Recently, we should control various devices such as TV, audio, DVD player, video player, and set-top box simultaneously to manipulate home theater system. To execute the function the user want in this situation, user should know functions and positions of the buttons in several remote controllers. Normally, people feel difficult due to these realistic problems. Besides, the number of the devices that we can control shall increase, and people will confuse more if the ubiquitous home environment is realized. Therefore, user adaptive interface that provides the summarized functions is required. Moreover there can be a lot of mobile and stationary controller devices in ubiquitous computing environment, so user interface should be adaptive in selecting the functions that user wants and in adjusting the features of UI to fit in specific controller. To implement the user and controller adaptive interface, we modeled the ubiquitous home environment and used modeled context and device information. We have used Bayesian network to get the degree of necessity in each situation. Behavior selection network uses predicted user situation and the degree of necessity, and it selects necessary functions in current situation. Selected functions are used to construct adaptive interface for each controller using presentation template. For experiments, we have implemented ubiquitous home environment and generated controller usage log in this environment. We have confirmed the BN predicted user requirements effectively as evaluating the inferred results of controller necessity based on generated scenario. Finally, comparing the adaptive home UI with the fixed one to 14 subjects, we confirmed that the generated adaptive UI was more useful for general tasks than fixed UI.

Connectivity is becoming more important keywords recently. For example, many devices are going to be connected to the internet. It is usually called as the IoT(internet of things). Many IoT devices can be evolved as a part of giant system of the world wide web. It is a great opportunity for us, because many new services can have emerged through this paradigm. In this paper, we propose a device virtualization framework for smart home service. The proposed framework connects the many home appliances devices and the internet using a dynamic protocol conversion. After our protocol conversion for device virtualization, our framework provides a RESTful API to access the resources of device through the internet. Therefore, the proposed framework can provide a variety of services, so it also can be developed into the ecosystem for smart home service. The current framework version only supports UPnP enabled devices of the home, but it can easily be extended to many other home middleware solutions. To verify the feasibility of the framework, we have implemented several service scenarios.

In this paper, we propose a sound event detection method using a multi-channel multi-scale neural networks for sound sensing home monitoring for the hearing impaired. In the proposed system, two channels with high signal quality are selected from several wireless microphone sensors in home. The three features (time difference of arrival, pitch range, and outputs obtained by applying multi-scale convolutional neural network to log mel spectrogram) extracted from the sensor signals are applied to a classifier based on a bidirectional gated recurrent neural network to further improve the performance of sound event detection. The detected sound event result is converted into text along with the sensor position of the selected channel and provided to the hearing impaired. The experimental results show that the sound event detection method of the proposed system is superior to the existing method and can effectively deliver sound information to the hearing impaired.

This paper describes UPnP AV System which provides various multimedia services in home network composed of diverse multimedia devices. It is difficult to build home network where various multimedia services can be provided because there are a lot of difference devices, platforms, and network technologies. However, UPnP middleware can make up multimedia service environment in that home network. Therefore this paper describes how the multimedia service environment is built with UPnP middleware. We analyze and modify MediaServer, MediaRenderer, and Control Point, which these are the components of UPnP AV archtecture. Additionally we provide some efficient GUI to use different kind of multimedia in any place of home networks. We propose UPnP AV Framework of playback module that consist of MediaServer providing contents, MediaRenderer using contents, and Control Point providing GUI. Especially, MediaRenderer and Control Point are integrated in set-top.

In this paper, we propose a home monitoring system using sound event detection based on a bidirectional gated recurrent neural network for the hard-of-hearing. First, in the proposed system, packet loss concealment is used to recover a lost signal captured through wireless sensor networks, and reliable channels are selected using multi-channel cross correlation coefficient for effective sound event detection. The detected sound event is converted into the text and haptic signal through a harmonic/percussive sound source separation method to be provided to hearing impaired people. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed sound event detection method is superior to the conventional methods and the sound can be expressed into detailed haptic signal using the source separation.

현재의 멀티미디어 서비스는 기존의 텍스트 위주의 사용자 환경에서 벗어나 오디오, 비디오뿐만 아닌 이미지, 그래픽, 텍스트 및 미디어 관련 정보 등의 다양한 데이터를 포함하는 멀티미디어 서비스 환경으로 변화하고 있다. 이러한 멀티미디어 서비스는 과거 TV와 컴퓨터 등 한정된 기기에서만 제공되었지만, 최근 휴대폰, MP3 플레이어, PMP 등 미디어 기기의 발전에 따라, 다양한 단말을 대상으로 서비스를 확장하고 있다. 이러한 멀티미디어 서비스를 다양한 단말을 대상으로 제공하기 위하여, 기존의 기술에서는 동일한 콘텐츠를 각각의 단말의 환경에 따라 서로 다른 서비스를 통해 제공하였다. 그러나 IPTV와 홈 네트워크 시스템 등 방송과 통신이 융합되고, 유선과 무선 간에 자유롭게 데이터를 주고받는 환경에서 단말 마다 서로 다른 서비스를 제공하는 것은 서비스 시나리오의 복잡도를 높이고, 다양한 단말을 사용하는 사용자에게 통합되지 않은 서비스를 제공 받게 되는 결과를 가져오게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 콘텐츠의 메타데이터를 활용하여 동일한 멀티미디어 서비스를 단말기의 다양한 환경에 따라 맞춤형 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 방법인 적응적 장면 기술을 제시하고, 그 효율성에 관하여 검증한다.

DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new media service that can provide CD quality audio, various data service, interactive and high quality mobile communications through popular media such as terrestrial broadcasting, satellite, cable TV, and internet. In this paper, a new EPG(Electronic Program Guide) application model is proposed. The model is based on DAB and combines a DAB receiver and PCs so that it can take advantages of using various multimedia services and plenty of internet contents. The developed EPSD(EPG Provider System on DAB) has Web-based Server/Client structure and povides EPG functionalities to client PCs over internet. Therefore, the DAB receiver can be smaller and cheaper, and can develop abundant data services on internet. It can also provide high quality video services and be expected to become an important component in future home network systems.
