유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 구현하려면 위치인식 기술과 이를 기반으로 하는 다양한 위치 인식시스템이 필수적이다. 그러나 복잡한 실내 환경에서는 Global Positioning System (GPS)의 이용이 불가능하며 실내 위치 측정을 위한 전문적인 시스템이 필요하다. RFID 기술은 적은 시설투자와 낮은 비용으로 위치 측정 시스템을 구축할 수 있는 가능성을 제공한다. RFID기술을 이용한 실내 위치 측정 시스템 LANDMARC는 기타 시스템과 달리 참고태그라는 개념을 도입하여 RFID리더기의 배치 수량을 줄이는 동시에 위치 측정의 정확성을 보장함으로써 시스템을 도입하는데 소요되는 비용을 절감하였으며 현실에서의 높은 사용 가능성을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 LANDMARC시스템을 분석하여 문제점들을 해결하고 실내에서의 위치측정의 정확도를 진일보 향상시킬 수 있는 보다 효율적인 방안을 제안했다. 실험 분석 결과 동일한 실내 환경하에서 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법이 기존의 LANDMARC 시스템에 비하여 더 높은 정확성을 보장함을 입증하였다.

Managing articles on exhibition in the museum these days are generally conducted in manual. With the reason, profound time as well as money is spent without generating proper results and this matter is regarded as a serous problem to be solved. Therefore, in this thesis, a suggestion to solve the consequently difficulty will be provided. In the suggested solution, both portable and fixed RFID readers and an active tag using 900Mhz frequency range are used. In constant, the methods of understanding realtime management of exhibited articles and integrated managing for museum would be developed effectively.

In this study we develop core technology of Multi-Charmel Voice Guidance System based on active 2.45GHz RFID that can be used in the field of advertising. Through this, we can service more familiar with voice information to foreigners by own language in large scale international event. As an alternative to the current high-expensive voice guidance system in exhibition hall and provide more value added services to user. As the result, we present the configuration of integrated software platform which include media server, media client and receiver. It can be as a basis infra equipment for a signtseeing in RFID/USN environment. Additionally through tag information analysis about exposure of advertisement that is collected late, supposed system may achieve role as a new marketing tool.

Through the automatic sensing of the environment, USN technology can give the best services. In this work, we have developed an active RFID system and examined its performance. By implementing it into water quality sensors, we constructed a system that can detect diverse indoor/outdoor environment and provide information about the pollution level obtained from the temperature and PH sensors. Our RF system had an internal Print-on-PCB antenna for the miniaturization of the tag. We used a RF transceiver CC2510 chipset of TI company to realize the active RFID function. By using RSSI constants obtained, we performed the evaluation of real time location accuracy with a software written in Labview. Among 10 arbitrary locations, we obtained average measurement errors of 1.69 m in x axis and 1.66 m in y axis. This technology can be applied to logistics, environmental monitoring, prevention of missing children and various applications.

ERP is an integrated information system to manage all human and material resources in offices. Therefore, the business competitiveness is reinforced. The best requirement of ERP is the real time data collection and analysis in ubiquitous environment. Passive information collection is a problem in existing ERP system. To solve that problem, active system is proposed using RFID Tag and Reader. From the simulation results, we confirm that resource information is acquired and event message is occurred after fixed time. In this paper, the real time management system of industry resource with RFID collects resource information actively instead of passive information collection and supports the event according to the schedule.

This paper proposed a new transponder detection method to reduce tag recognition time and simplify anti-collision process in RFID systems. In conventional systems, a transponder in detectable area is passively recognized by responding to a reader command. In addition, if there are multiple tags in the area, a collision between tags occurs by responding at the same time to a command and anti-collision process begins. In the proposed method, tags are actively recognized without any command from a reader which results to reducing a tag recognition time and simplifying anti-collision process. To compare transponder recognition time, the process of transponder recognition in conventional systems is analysed. A circuit to detect transponder directly is developed and antenna voltage variation of a reader in the appearance of multiple transponders is analysed for the implementation of the proposed method.

Many RFID authentication protocols have been proposed to build a secure ubiquitous environment. However, existing protocols do not respond recent attacks appropriately and they perform many hash operations to authenticate a large number of tags. In this paper, we propose a hash function-based secure authentication protocol for improving efficiency in RFID system. The proposed protocol is safe to passive attacks and active attacks, and requires only 2 hash operations in a tag and 3 hash operations in a database. Accordingly, the proposed protocol is very effective in RFID system environment which is composed to low-cost tags and a database handling many tags.

Recently, a considerable number of studies have been made on the $RFID^{[1-6]}$ systems. RFID is a technique of identifying an object using radio frequency transmission. The technology can be used to identify, track, sort or detect a wide variety of objects. The RFID system is composed of two main elements: a reader and a tag. Tags can either be active (powered by battery) or passive (powered by the reader field). The passive tags communicate back to the reader with a technique called 'backscatter'. RFID technology can be applied to the supply chain, security, logistics industry and etc. Especially, UHF RFID is worth noticing because of its relatively long identification range and commercial UHF RFID systems are under development. In this paper, we designed and implemented a UHF RFID reader firmware for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type B specification.

As the retail industry has been challenged by stiff competition, the retailer becomes more interested in better understanding consumers' in-store behavior to gain and sustain competitive advantage. Consumers' shopping paths provide valuable clues to understanding customers' in-store behavior, which has been a long standing research issue in business. This study is to explore the shopping path patterns in a grocery using RFID technology and clustering method. To this end, we designed the RFID systems, affixing active RFID tags to the bottom of grocery carts. The tag emit signal that is received by receptors installed at various location throughout the store. The RFID systems provide the time and location of the cart while consumers shop around the store. The point of sale data are matched with the cart movement records to provide a complete picture of each shopping path. To find the distinctive patterns of consumers' shopping paths, we proposed the distance-index matrix using dijkstra method and normalization method to conduct the clustering in order to handle the problem in measuring the similarity among shopping paths, which is raised by the spatial nature of consumer movement in a grocery. After analyzing the RFID data obtained in one of the groceries in a major Korean retailer, we could successfully identify several distinctive patterns of shopping paths, which prove to provide the valuable implications for store management.
