블루투스의 지속적인 발전을 통해 Bluetooth 4.0부터는 기존 단점이었던 많은 전력 소비를 보완하여 저전력 블루투스(Bluetooth Low Energy)가 사용 가능하게 되었다. 따라서 많은 업체에서는 저전력 블루투스를 이용한 다양한 블루투스 단말기를 시중에 출시했는데, 그중 하나인 비콘(Beacon)은 특정신호를 알리기 위해 주기적으로 저전력 블루투스 신호를 전송하는 기기이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 특징을 가진 비콘과 안드로이드 단말기를 통해 이용자의 실내 위치 측위를 위한 정보를 수집하고 이를 바탕으로 사용자의 위치를 파악하는 시스템을 제시한다.

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.

Recently, BLE beacons are widely used in indoor precision positioning systems because of their low battery consumption and low infrastructure cost. However, existing BLE beacon based indoor positioning algorithms are difficult to compensate for position errors due to the user's moving speed. Therefore, we proposed a position error correction algorithm that combines bounced cancellation and minimum distance maintenance algorithm with a positioning error correction method using direction vectors. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm guarantees superior positioning performance than the existing indoor positioning algorithm and also improves the performance of position error compensation.

Untact order payment has become a new normal since the COVID-19. BLE beacon is a technology that supports low-power wireless communication within 70 meters without Bluetooth pairing and is specialized for indoor positioning. Therefore, it is suitable for building and providing O2O services beyond B2C and B2B services. However, beacons have a lower utilization rate because they have fewer platforms than wifi that support long-distance wireless communication. Therefore, this paper aims to provide more convenient non-face-to-face related services than before by designing and proposing an O2O service platform using BLE beacons. When scanning beacons, not only does it receive advertising data that beacons have, but it also ensures that the actual distance between the user's terminal and beacons is accurately calculated. Through accurate location, the O2O service platform will be able to provide users with store information, such as coupons and discounts, museum exhibits, and traffic information at the right time.

Beacon signals used in indoor positioning system are reflected and distorted, resulting in noise signals. KF(Kalman Filter) has been widely used to remove this noise. In order to apply the KF, optimization process considering the signal type, signal strength, and environmental elements of each product is required. In this paper, we propose a solution to the optimization problem of KF Parameters using GA(Genetic Algorithm) in BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) Beacon-based indoor positioning system. After optimizing KF Parameters by applying the proposed technique with a certain distance between Beacon and receiver, we compared the estimated distance passed through KF with the unfiltered distance. The proposed technique is expected to reduce the time required and improve accuracy of KF Parameters optimization in an indoor positioning system based on RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication).

자동차 운전자는 운행 할 때 도로 주변을 살펴 여러 상황에 대비한다. 운전자가 주의하여 운전해도 갑자기 도로에 생긴 장애물 때문에 교통사고가 발생 될 수 있다. 만약 운전자가 사전에 도로위에 장애물 발생 정보를 파악할 수 있다면, 교통사고는 어느 정도 감소 할 수 있다고 예상 된다. 본 논문은 운전자가 운행 할 때 사전에 도로위의 장애물의 정보를 운전자에게 알려주는 비콘 서비스를 제안하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy)을 기반으로 하여 무선 통신 인프라가 없이도 V2V 통신을 구현하여 사전에 도로 사용자가 설치한 장애물을 알려주는 비콘 장치와 장애물 정보를 수집해 운전자에게 알려주는 장치로 구성된다.

출석체크를 자동으로 하는 시스템으로 QR 코드나 NFC 등의 전자 태그기반 방식들이 있으나 태깅을 수동으로 해야 하는 불편함과 함께 태그의 물리적 파손 문제 등의 단점이 그 확산에 제한 사항으로 작용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 태그 기반 대신 Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) 비콘 신호를 학생들의 스마트폰으로 수신하여 위치와 시간을 확인함으로 출석을 자동으로 체크하는 경제적이고 안정적인 출결 시스템을 제안한다. 나아가, 시스템 초기 및 유지 비용을 구성하는 요인들을 분석하고, 시스템의 안정적 운영을 보장하는 제한조건 하에서 BLE 비콘의 설치 및 운영의 경제성을 높이기 위한 추가적 변인들을 열거하고 변인들 간의 trade-off를 고려하여 시스템을 설계해야 함을 보였다.

Various indoor location-based services can be provided through indoor presence determination and indoor positioning technology using Beacon. However, since the BLE signal advertised by the beacon has an unstable RSSI due to problems such as multi-path fading, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of indoor presence determination. In this paper, data were collected while the classroom door was open to ensure accuracy in various situations. Based on the collected data, we propose an indoor presence determination method considering the characteristics of the signal. The proposed method uses support vector machine, showed about 10% accuracy improvement compared to the results using raw RSSI only. This method has the advantage of being able to accurately determine indoor presence with only one receiver. It is expected that the proposed method can implement a low-cost system for determining indoor presence with high accuracy.

As we become an aging society, the number of dementia patients increases every year (an estimated 10% of the elderly, equating to 1.27 million in 30 years). In addition, 17,000 cases of missing people with disabilities and dementia are reported annually, indicating that more than one person per hour goes missing. More than 50% of those who are lost suffer injuries (some of which are fatal) within 24 hours after going missing. This is why measures are urgently required to ensure safety of the elderly. The core function of the disappearances prevention system proposed by this research group is to identify and respond early to deviations of dementia patients from their homes or facilities by identifying the location of the occurrence of disappearance, so that real-time notifications occur when a they leave the protected area. In addition, multiple receivers and public transportation integrated terminals share information when a patient leaves and uses public transportation to ensure their safe return. Most existing beacon-based positioning service models have fixed signal transmitters and are serviced in the form of transport receivers, but the proposed service model has users wearing the BLE beacon and receivers fixed.
