  • 디지털 방송의 시작과 함께, TV화면에서 채널이나 프로그램을 직접 검색학 수 있는 EPG(Electronic Program Guide)라는 새로운 방송 서비스가 제공되고 있다. 그러나 아직까지는 시청자 입장을 고려한 EPG의 사용자 인터페이스에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. TV는 특정 계층이 아닌 모든 사람이 시청하는 매체이의로 시청자에게 프로그램을 쉽게 찾게 하기 위해서는 직관적인 사용자 인터페이스가 필요하다. 즉 EPG를 이용해 TV 시청자가 쉽게 이해할 수 있는 속성들을 선택해 프로그램을 빨리 찾을 수 있게 하는 것이다. 이를 위해본 논문에서는 먼저 TV 프로그램을 구분하는 대표적인 속성들인 장르, 시간, 등급 등을 체계적으로 분류하였다. 이렇게 체계화된 속성득의 값들을 시청자들이 EPG를 통해 지정하게 하되, 값을 지정하는 속성들의 순서를 편한 데로 선택할 수 있게 하는 사용자 인터페이스를 설계하였다. 그리고 기존의 상용 EPG와 본 논문에서 제안하는 EPG의 Usability Test를 통해 두 가지 EPG의 기능의 우수성을 비교평가 하였다.

  • In this study, we focus on precise and natural cooperative object manipulation in a virtual space. We introduce two virtually expanded physical laws-virtual mechanical equilibrium on a rigid object and exclusive object arrangement-to create realistic cooperative manipulation. We have built a trial system according to our proposed design. The method is expected to allow users to exchange intended manipulation by haptic and visual channels.

  • This paper describes the development of the 3DDAC mk.4 system, which is a brand new implementation on the research program. The 3DDAC is a fatigue-less stereoscopic display system that is provided with a compensating function of accommodation for binocular disparity 3D image representation. The mk.4 system also features a light-weight HMD style.

  • 본 논문에서는 다중 입출력 안테나 OFDM 통신시스템에서 신뢰할 만한 데이터 신호 사용하는 한 연판정 지향 채널 추정 기법을 제안한다. 기존 방식에서는 주어진 기준 신호만을 이용하여 채널을 추정하는 반면에 제안하는 기법은 기준 신호를 포함하여 신뢰할 만한 데이터 신호를 동시에 사용하여 채널을 추정한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존 채널 추정에 비해 성능이 우수함을 확인할 수 있다.

  • We proposed "Table Mediator" which is a tabletop system for digital storytelling that uses web-retrieved information for the students' educational field trip. Students can perform their storytelling for their virtual pre-field trip to build up a sequential path as a story with web-retrieved documents, satellite images, geographical information, and group discussion. The proposed system was designed to lessen the limitation of individual interaction such as restricted viewpoint and biased inclination by group digital storytelling. Local interactions also have the limitation such as insufficient information and knowledge and the system supplied the rich live information such as subjective critiques or recently discovered history, or new updates for building a story that makes users arrange their own idea as a consistent story to lessen the limitation of the local interactions. The system can be used for various applications such as travel, education and other collaborative works with group interaction.

  • In this paper, we proposed a soft decision-directed channel estimation based on MMSE estimation for MIMO-OFDM system. While the conventional method employs only pilot signals for channel estimation, the proposed algorithm performs channel estimation using pilot and reliable data signals. We also proposed selection criterion among reliable data signal for channel estimation. From numerical simulations, we show that the proposed channel estimator achieves 1 dB performance gain over conventional channel estimators.

  • To address the need for autonomous control of remote and distributed mobile systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications are rapidly gaining attention from both academia and industry. M2M communications have recently been deployed in smart grid, home networking, health care, and vehicular networking environments. This paper focuses on M2M communications in the vehicular networking context and investigates areas where M2M principles can improve vehicular networking. Since connected vehicles are essentially a network of machines that are communicating, preferably autonomously, vehicular networks can benefit a lot from M2M communications support. The M2M paradigm enhances vehicular networking by supporting large-scale deployment of devices, cross-platform networking, autonomous monitoring and control, visualization of the system and measurements, and security. We also present some of the challenges that still need to be addressed to fully enable M2M support in the vehicular networking environment. Of these, component standardization and data security management are considered to be the most significant challenges.

  • The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and WPANs. In this paper, firstly, a time slot reservation protocol for relay transmission is proposed. Furthermore, we propose a novel relay node selection algorithm adaptive to current UWB link transmission rate. The proposed relay node selection algorithm has compatibility with current WiMedia D-MAC standard and is executed at each device according to the SoQ as a QoS criterion.
