Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacon is an actively push-to-broadcast electronic signal and can be used for object identification. This paper uses such beacon-based identification and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for the elder health management service system to simplify the user interfaces and steps for preventive elder care. In the proposed system, an elder's family member, caregiver, or medical worker can conveniently and quickly record daily health management information. Besides, through the statistics and analysis of the data on the back end of the system, it is helpful for the elderly to refer to the data of daily care management and future management trends. Similarly, it is also an essential reference data for system maintenance and the new preventive health care services development.

A study on Ontology-based indoor positioning techniques using BLE Beacon. Recently BLE beacon has been widely used as a technique for measuring the indoor location. But it requires a filtering technique for the measurement of the correct position, and uses the most fixed beacon. It is not accurate that calculates the position information through the identification of the beacon signal. Therefore, filtering is important. So it takes a lot of time, position measurement and filtering. Thus, we is to measure the exact position at the indoor using a mobile beacon. The measured beacon signal is composed of an ontology for reuse in the same pattern. RSSI is measured the receiver is the distance of the beacon. And this value configure the location ontology to be normalized by the relationship analysis between the values. The ontology is a method for calculating the position information of the moving beacon. It may be detected fast and accurate indoor position information.

With the recent development of biometric authentication technology, the user authentication techniques using biometric authentication are increasing. Various problems arised in certification techniques that use various existing methods such as ID/PW. Therefore, recently, a method of improving security by introducing biometric authentication as secondary authentication has been used. In this thesis, proposal of the user authentication system that can detect user identification and anomalies using ECGs that are extremely difficult to falsify through the electrical biometric signals from the heart among various biometric authentication devices is studied. The system detects user anomalies by comparing ECG data received from a wrist-mounted wearable device-type ECG measurement tool with identification and ECG data stored in blockchain form on the database and identifying the user's location through a beacon system.

In recent days, all the business firms use IT-based services in a variety of ways to facilitate their consumer activities. A typical example is location-based services that send advertisements or discount coupons when a customer approaches near the business place. This is not the direct interaction between the business firms and the customer, and it is one of the way of sending the business related contents to the customer's smart-phone regardless of the customer's intention. The Business firms does not know in real time which customers sent promotional contents. Recently most of the business services are in this way. Therefore, a new type of location-based customer service is required for interaction between the business firm and the customer. This is a system that automatically identifies which customer visit a business place when the customer visits the business place delivers them to the computer of the business place in real time, and provides business customized services using the information. In this paper, we have developed a service based platform to identify the customer as well as interact with the customer based on the location based service using Beacon. This system will also provide an open platform environment that can be easily accessible to the various business firms, rather than limited to a specific business firms.

OSC(Off-Site Construction) is regarded as a faster and more economical method in the construction industry, and the attention towards the OSC is growing. In the modular construction process, which is one type of OSC, accurate identification of a module is essential. Because the installation position and the MEP(Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) composition are distinct between modules, a defect in the finishing or junction area is likely to happen during the construction process. This study suggested the modular construction process by applying a beacon receiver using BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) technology on each module. Construction quality management would be improved using the location and assembly data, particularly for a different module in modular construction.

Personal identification is essential for the automatic measurement of biosignal information in home healthcare systems. Personal identification is usually achieved with passive radio frequency identification (RFID), which does little more than store a unique identification number. However, passive RFID is not ideal for automatic identification. We present a user identification system based on radio signal strength indication (RSSI) using ZigBee for active RFID tags. Personal identification is achieved by finding the largest RSSI value from aggregated beacon messages that are periodically transmitted by active RFID tags carried by users. Obtaining reliable person!'.! identification without restricting the orientation requires a certain distance between the closest active RFID tag from the ZED and the second closest tag. The results show that the closest active RFID tag from the ZED and the second closest tag must be at least 70 cm apart to achieve reliable personal identification.

최근 대리수술 (무면허의료행위)과 같이 환자의 안전을 위협하는 사건들이 언론에 보도되고 있다. 대리수술 방지를 위한 수술실 감시카메라 장치 도입 등의 대안이 등장하고 있지만, 의료계의 거센 반발로 인해 시행되기에는 현실적인 어려움이 있다. 하지만 대리 수술과 같은 사건이 빈번하 발생함에 따라 의사에 대한 사회적 신뢰도가 추락하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 근거리 무선 통신 장치인 비콘(Beacon)과 생체인식 중 안잔하고 신뢰할 수 있는 홍채인식을 결합한 의료진 신분 확인 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 홍채인식을 통해 사용자 인증을 수행함으로써 1차적인 신분확인을 하고 비콘을 통해 의료진이 수술실에 있다는 것을 증명한다. 또한 무작위 주기로 홍채인증을 수행하여 의료진이 초기 인증만 수행하고 수술실을 떠나는 경우를 방지함으로써 집도의에 대한 환자의 신뢰를 보장한다.

Recently, the development and dissemination of smart devices linked to the network are being actively performed, and IOT(Internet of things) is issued form of mutually cooperative relationship through interoperation within smart devices. In this paper, we propose an innovative intelligent coffee shop management system by sharing and cooperatively controlling smart devices and Internet devices. The system can order smartphones including kiosk orders and beacon-based user identification. And it is a system that can make custom order without grasping user location information using geofence. The paper provides weather, temperature, time and user-based recommendation services based on Big Data. Therefore, the system is increased cost reduction and work efficiency than general coffee shops.

Objectives: This paper describes an experience of implementing seamless service trials online and offline by adopting Internet of Things (IoT) technology based on near-field communication (NFC) tags and Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacons. The services were provided for both patients and health professionals. Methods: The pilot services were implemented to enhance healthcare service quality, improve patient safety, and provide an effective business process to health professionals in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. The services to enhance healthcare service quality include healing tours, cancer information/education, psychological assessments, indoor navigation, and exercise volume checking. The services to improve patient safety are monitoring of high-risk inpatients and delivery of real-time health information in emergency situations. In addition, the services to provide an effective business process to health professionals include surveys and web services for patient management. Results: Considering the sustainability of the pilot services, we decided to pause navigation and patient monitoring services until the interference problem could be completely resolved because beacon signal interference significantly influences the quality of services. On the other hand, we had to continue to provide new wearable beacons to high-risk patients because of hygiene issues, so the cost increased over time and was much higher than expected. Conclusions: To make the smart connected hospital services sustainable, technical feasibility (e.g., beacon signal interference), economic feasibility (e.g., continuous provision of new necklace beacons), and organizational commitment and support (e.g., renewal of new alternative medical devices and infrastructure) are required.
