Rather than using smartphones as seismometers with designated locations and orientations, this study proposes to employ crowds' smartphones in buildings to perform fast safety assessment of buildings. The principal advantage of using crowds' smartphones is the potential to monitor the safety of millions of buildings without hardware costs, installation labor, and long-term maintenance. This study's goal is to measure the maximum interstory drift ratios during earthquake excitation using crowds' smartphones. Beacons inside the building are required to provide the location and relevant building information for the smartphones via Bluetooth. Wi-Fi Direct is employed between nearby smartphones to conduct peer-to-peer time synchronization and exchange the acceleration data measured. An algorithm to align the orientation between nearby smartphones is proposed, and the performance of the orientation alignment, interstory drift measurement, and damage level estimation are studied numerically. Finally, the proposed approach's performance is verified using large-scale shaking table tests of a scaled steel building. The results presented in this study illustrate the potential to use crowds' smartphones with the proposed approach to record building motions during earthquakes and use those data to estimate buildings' safety based on the interstory drift ratios measured.

The Internet of Things(IoT) is one of the key technologies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The IoT is a system that acquires information from various sensors and provides meaningful information to users. The method of obtaining information from sensor is using WIFI, Bluetooth and Server. is not accessible to external users because of different type of networks or local area communication. For this reason, there is a problem that external user cannot receive notification in regard to sensor information. In this paper, we want to establish a cloud message environment using Google's FCM(Firebase Cloud Messaging) and find out through experiments how users can receive notifications even if they are outside.

In this paper, based on Arduino, a vehicle is installed at the bottom of the 3D printer so that Arduino controls the vehicle that can expand the moving space. A stepping motor was mounted on the front wheel of the vehicle and precisely controlled using a motor driver. As a result, when moving 5cm, 25cm, and 50cm, the mean value of error rate was 0.6%, 0.04%, and 0.02%, respectively, to enable accurate distance control.

Exercise is beneficial to the body in some ways. It is vital for people who have heart problems to perform exercise according to their condition. This paper describes how an Android platform can provide early warnings of fatigue during wushu exercise using Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. Using the data from a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope to detect heart rate, this study contributes an algorithm to determine a user's fatigue during wushu exercise. It sends vibration messages to the user's smartphone device when the heart rate exceeds the limit or is too fast during exercise. The heart rate monitoring system in the app records heart rate data in real-time while exercising. A simple pulse sensor and Android app can be used to monitor heart rate. This plug-in sensor measures heart rate based on photoplethysmography (PPG) signals during exercise. Pulse sensors can be easily inserted into the fingertip of the user. An embedded microcontroller detects the heart rate by connecting a pulse sensor transmitted via Bluetooth to the smartphone. In order to measure the impact of physical activity on heart rate, Wushu System tests are conducted using various factors, such as age, exercise speed, and duration. During testing, the Android app was found to detect heart rate with an accuracy of 95.3% and to warn the user when their heart rate rises to an abnormal level.

현재 IoT의 발달로 인해서 많은 위치기반 서비스들이 개발되고 있고 이러한 서비스들을 위해서는 사용자의 정확한 위치 획득이 요구되고 있다. 현재 실내 환경에서 사용자의 위치 획득을 위한 여러 장치들 중 블루투스 비콘이 널리 사용되고 있는데, 비콘은 저전력으로 수명이 길고 설치하기 용이한 장점이 있지만 비콘으로부터 수신되는 신호 자체의 불안정성과 수신신호에 여러 잡음들이 섞이는 문제점 때문에 측위 결과에 큰 오차가 발생하게 되는 단점도 있다. 한편, 최근에는 보다 원할한 위치기반 서비스 제공을 위하여 UWB 기능이 스마트폰에 내재되어 나오면서 사용자에게 점차 보급되는 추세이다. UWB는 블루투스 비콘에 비해 가격이 비싸고 전력소모가 많지만 측위에서의 높은 정확도를 얻을 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 비콘과 UWB의 두 방식을 이용하여 실내측위를 수행할 때 실제 측정을 통해서 실내 전파수신 환경을 분석하고, 측정된 데이터를 바탕으로 실내 전파수신 환경을 모델링하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 측정 데이터와 시뮬레이션 결과의 정확도를 상호 분석하였으며, 블루투스 비콘과 UWB 방식의 실내측위 수행결과를 측정과 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 비교, 분석하였다.

Recently, the amount of information and content has increased dramatically. Users can easily obtain recipe through various media. In addition, the water purifier market is growing without a downward trend and demand for more convenient and smart water purifiers are increasing. By using a smart water purifier with application, each individual can improve the quality of the dish by using a certain amount of water that each person prefers. A solenoid valve was used to allow only the amount of water set by individual to flow out and a solenoid valve and smartphones were linked using Bluetooth communication while using smartphone applications developed when setting the amount of water.

기존의 홈 시스템은 비용이 비싸며 공간적인 문제가 발생하고, 기능적으로 한계가 있다. '아두이노를 활용한 스마트홈 시스템'은 아두이노를 활용하기 때문에 비용적, 공간적 문제를 해결하고 여러 가지 가전제품을 환경에 맞춰 자동으로 작동하는 스마트 기능을 넣었다. 온, 습도 센서를 이용해 내부 온도가 설정 값보다 높으면 에어컨이 켜지고, 습도가 낮으면 자동으로 가습기가 작동한다. 또한, 창문에 부착된 UV센서를 통해 자외선 수치가 높아질 경우 자동으로 블라인드가 내려간다. 침실에 누워 잠들기 전, 불을 꺼야 하는 상황이 있다. 이런 경우, 직접 불을 끄러 가지 않고 침대 머리맡에 설치된 초음파 센서에 손을 가져다 대어 일정 거리 값 이하로 되면 자동으로 침실 불이 꺼진다. 그리고 거실에 설치 된 인체감지센서를 통해 불이 꺼진 어두운 거실에 움직임이 감지되면 자동으로 거실 불이 켜지게 된다. 이러한 자동 제어 기능을 블루투스와 연동된 스마트폰을 통하여 사용자 편의에 따라 수동적 제어가 가능하고, 거실에 설치된 ESP-32CAM을 통해 밖에서도 거실 내부를 실시간 확인할 수 있다. 이런 아두이노 스마트홈 시스템으로 사용자들에게 편리함과 안정성을 제공한다.

Due to the unavailability of global positioning system (GPS) indoors, various indoor pedestrian positioning methods have been designed to estimate the position of the user using received signal strength (RSS) measurements from radio beacons, such as wireless fidelity (WiFi) access points and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons. In indoor environments, radio-frequency (RF) signals are unpredictable and change over space and time because of multipath associated with reflection and refraction, shadow fading caused by obstacles, and interference among different devices using the same frequencies. Therefore, the outliers in the positional information obtained from the indoor positioning method based on RSS measurements occur often. For this reason, the performance of the positioning method can be degraded by the characteristics of the RF signal. To resolve this issue, a map-matching (MM) algorithm based on maximum probability (MP) estimation is applied to the indoor positioning method in this study. The MM algorithm locates the aberrant position of the user estimated by the positioning method within the limits of the adjacent pedestrian passages. Empirical experiments show that the positioning method can achieve higher positioning accuracy by leveraging the MM algorithm.

In order to collect a lot of data clearly and efficiently, it is essential to know the locations of the current facilities and analyze the movement data. The current location collection technology can collect data using a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor, but in the case of GPS, it has strong straightness and low diffraction and reflectivity, making it difficult to position indoors. It is impossible to measure the distance between the server and the client because the signal sensitivity cannot be received. This paper implements an indoor positioning system using beacons and scanners in Raspberry Pi 3 B+. It controls Advertise Mode and Connection Mode at the same time using the scanner algorithm.
