The real-time monitoring about the activity of the human provides useful information about the activity quantity and ability. The present study implemented a small-size and low-power acceleration monitoring system for convenient monitoring of activity quantity and recognition of emergent situations such as falling during daily life. For the wireless transmission of acceleration sensor signal, we developed a wireless transmission system based on a wireless sensor network. In addition, we developed a program for storing and monitoring wirelessly transmitted signals on PC in real-time. The performance of the implemented system was evaluated by assessing the output characteristic of the system according to the change of posture, and parameters and acontext recognition algorithm were developed in order to monitor activity volume during daily life and to recognize emergent situations such as falling. In particular, recognition error in the sudden change of acceleration was minimized by the application of a falling correction algorithm

The location and human activity are usually used as one of the important parameters to monitor the health status in healthcare devices. However, nearly all existing location and monitoring systems have the limitation of short-range communication and high power consumption. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism to collect and transmit monitoring information based on LoRa technology. The monitoring device with sensors can collect the real-time activity and location information and transmit them to the cloud server through LoRa gateway. The user can check all his history and current information through the specific designed mobile applications. Experiment was carried out to verify the communication, power consumption and monitoring performance of the entire system. Experimental results demonstrate that this system can collect monitoring and activity information accurately and provide the long rang coverage with low power consumption.

In recent years, there has been a rise in epidemiological evidence suggesting the health benefits of a physically active lifestyle. However, it is not always easy for individuals to personally recognize the optimal conditions for exercise and physical activity. Wearable acceleration-based pedometers have become widely used in estimating the amount of physical activity, and to a limited extent, providing information regarding exercise intensity, but they have never been used to assess adaptation to exercise. In order to realize simultaneous activity monitoring for multiple users exercising outdoors, we developed a prototype wireless local area network (WLAN) based system. In our system, a WLAN is deployed outside, and a user wearing a smart phone and monitoring device exercises freely within the coverage area of the wireless network. By doing so, the developed system is able to monitor the activity of each user andmeasures various parameters including those related to exercise adaptation. In a demonstration experiment, the developed system was evaluated and used to monitor users enjoying a Nordic walk, after which users were immediately able to receive their exercise report. In this paper, we discuss the requirements and issues in developing an activity monitoring system and report the findings we obtained through the demonstration experiment.

Hardware for monitoring the water quality using water fleas is developed. Water flea is a frequently used biological sensor for monitoring the water quality. Water fleas quickly respond to the incoming toxic water by changing their activity when they are exposed. By measuring the activity of water fleas, the incoming toxic water is instantly detected. So far the measurement of activity of water fleas has been done with a system equipped with both a light source of LED and a light detector of photo transistor. Water flea itself is, however, sensitive to light resulting in incorrect response and the system has two inconvenient separate parts of the light source and the detector. This paper suggests a system using a CCD camera instead of a light source and a detector. The suggested system processes the image data from the CCD camera in real time without any delay. The developed system becomes a part of the remote water monitoring embedded system.

Activity monitoring has been widely recognized as important and critical tools in system monitoring for detection of abnormal behavior. In this research, we propose a data-driven activity monitoring method to measure relative sales performance which is not sensitive to special event which frequently occur in marketing area. Moreover, the proposed method can automatically updates the monitoring threshold that accommodates a drastically changing business environment. The results from simulation and practical case study from sales of electronic devices demonstrate the usefulness and applicability of the proposed activity monitoring method.

본 논문에서는 활동 인식장치를 이용한 딥러닝 기반의 반려동물 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다.이 시스템은 반려동물의 활동 인식장치와 반려인의 스마트 기기, 서버로 구성된다. 아두이노 기반 활동 인식 장치로부터 가속도와 자이로 데이터를 수집하고, 이로부터 반려동물의 걸음 수를 연산하였다. 수집된 데이터는 전처리 과정을 거쳐 CNN과 LSTM을 하이브리드한 딥러닝 모델을 통해 5가지 형태(앉기, 서기, 눕기, 걷기, 뛰기)로 활동을 인식함으로써 활동량을 측정한다. 마지막으로, 반려인의 스마트 기기에 일일 및 주간 브리핑 차트 등 활동 변화에 대한 모니터링을 제공한다. 성능 평가 결과, 반려동물의 구체화된 활동 인식 및 활동량 측정이 가능함을 확인하였다. 향후 데이터 축적을 통해 반려동물의 이상행동 탐지 및 헬스 케어 서비스의 확장을 기대할 수 있다.

This paper describes a development of a portable physical activity monitoring system using two accelerometers to quantify physical activity. The system hardware consists of two piezoresistive accelerometers, amplifiers with gain of 30, lowpass filters with cut-off frequency of 15Hz, offset control circuits, one-chip microcontroller and flash memory card. In order to evaluate the performance of the system we acquired 3 channel data at 32 sample/sec from body-fixed accelerometers in chest and right upper leg. And then the acquired data were processed by MatLab on personal computer. We tried to distinguish not only fundamental actions which are steady-state activities such as standing, sitting, and lying but also dynamic activities with walking, up a stairway, down a stairway, and running. Five subjects participated the evaluation process which compare the video data with the measured data. As a result, the activity classification rate of 90.6% on average was obtained. Overall results showed that the steady-state activities could be classified from the low component of 3-axis acceleration signal and dynamic activities could be distinguished from frequency analysis using wavelet transform and FFT. Finally, we could find that this system can be applied to acquire and analyze the static and dynamic physical activity data.

On-line partial discharge(PD) monitoring system has been developed to monitor in operating large motor stator insulations. This system makes use of remote diagnosis techniques for the evaluation of PD activity in the control center of thermal power plant. This system can be remotely accessed via a modem to build database, analyze status and interpret the pattern of PD activity. A personnel computer is generally connected to ten motors to continuous measurement of the PD activity. The test data can be easily interpreted by a maintenance staff. For assessing the condition of stator winding in motors, this system ensures a reliable measurement and accurate estimation. Capacitive couplers used for on-line PD measurement have been 80pF. The maximum PD magnitude(Qmax), PD pattern and normalized quantity number(NQN) were performed by this system.

수질 감시를 위한 물벼룩 활동량 측정을 실시간으로 측정하는 하드웨어를 구현 하였다. 물벼룩은 수질 감시에 빈번히 시용하는 살아있는 생물학적 센서라고 할 수 있다. 물벼룩은 수질이 오염이 되면 활동량의 변화가 나타나기 때문에 물벼룩의 활동량을 감시함으로서 해당 수질의 독성 물질의 유입을 즉각 확인할 수 있다. 물벼룩의 활동량 조사는 기존의 방법은 LED를 이용한 발광부와 Photo TR.을 이용한 수광부를 사용하는 방법이 있으나 물벼룩이 빛에 민감하게 반응하고 측정 대상인 물벼룩을 기준에 두고 2 개의 장치(발광부와 수광부)를 두는 불편한 점이 있었다. 본 논문은 기존의 방식을 대체하기 위해 CCD 카메라를 사용한다. CCD 카메라의 영상처리를 위해 이미지 버퍼에 저장한 후 컴퓨터나 DSP를 사용하여 소프트웨어로 일괄 처리를 하는 것이 아니라 실시간으로 하드웨어로 처리하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 그리고 구현된 하드웨어로 수질 경보를 위한 원격 모니터링 임베디드 시스템을 구축하였다.

최근 들어 경쟁력 향상을 위해 많은 기업들이 기간 정보 시스템을 도입하여 운영하고 있는 추세이다. 도입된 정보 시스템의 활용도를 향상시키기 위해서는 정보 시스템 사용 현황을 실시간으로 모니터링/분석할 수 있는 체계를 갖추는 것이 필수적인데 현재 대부분의 기업 정보 시스템들은 이러한 체계적인 모니터링 기능을 제공하고 있지 않고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 정보활동 모니터링 (IAM: Information Activity Monitoring) 프레임워크를 제안하고 이를 실사례를 통해 그 유용성을 보인다. IAM은 기업 내의 중요한 정보 처리 활동을 실시간으로 모니터링하고 분석하여 그 결과를 사용자에게 피드백 하는 행위라고 정의되며 기업의 정보 처리 행위에 관한 4가지 주요한 시각 (업무 프로세스, 데이터, 사용자/조직, IT 시스템)에 관한 요약 정보를 제공한다. 제안된 '정보활동 모니터링' 기능은 항공기 부품을 생산하는 기업의 설계/생산 통합 정보 시스템의 한 모듈로 개발되어 운영되고 있으며 이러한 기능은 특히 정보 시스템 도입의 필요성에는 공감하나 지속적인 운영에 필요한 인력과 시간이 부족한 중소기업의 정보 시스템 활용도 향상을 위한 필수적인 기능이라 판단된다.
