  • 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.

  • In this paper, we have implemented a ubiquitous healthcare system that can measure and check human's health in anytime and anywhere. The implemented prototype are composed of both front-end and back-end. The front-end have several groups: environment sensor group such as temperature, humidity, photo, voice sensor, health sensor group such as blood pressure, heart beat, electrocardiogram, spo2 sensor, gateway for wired/wireless communication, and RFID reader to identify personal. The back-end has a serial forwarder to propagate measurment results, monitor program, and medical information server The implemented sensor node constructs a sensor network using the Zigbee protocol and is ported the tinyOS. The data gathering base node is linux-based terminal that can transfer a sensed medial data through wireless LAN. And, the medical information server stores the processed medical data and can promptly notify the urgent status to the connected medical team. Through our experiments, we've confirmed the possibility of ubiquitous healthcare system based on sensor network using the Zigbee.

  • All living things including human being consist of soul(spirit) and body. Soul is the root of a life and body frames it. I wrote this paper to tell how internal injury due to endogenous etiological factors and affection due to exogenous pathogenic factors, affect the internal organs and the external bodily from. This paper begins with description of the patterns of disharmony of the internal organs. General disorders of each Five-Jang(五藏) an be classified into two types of soul and body. The Liver and the Heart which lead changing to Yang(陽) of vital energy, have close relationship with spiritual symptoms because spirit is related to Yang. The Lung, Kidneys, the Spleen which lead changing to m(陰) of vital energy, mainly connected with physical disorders because body is relatively close to m. The Five-Jang are ruled by the Five-Phases(五行) system and cause troubles with Oche(五體) and the nine body orifice. Otherwise the main function of the Six-Bu(六府) is to receive food, absorb the usable portions, and transmit and excrete waste. Therefore they can cause such problems as abdominal pain, distention, difficulty in urination, and constipation. The spleen is responsible for sending Grain-Ki(穀氣) so that is closely connected with the six-Bu. The Gall bladder takes care of control of giving out spirit. That's why it presents many symptoms related to the spirit that is ruled by the Five-Jang. Patterns of disharmony of external bodily form is influenced by the state of Meridians. Bodily forms get divided into many parts by the function of six-meridians(六經) to which they belong. Six-meridians have their own function related to excretion, related to excretion, retention, and balance(開闔樞). If local bodily forms get affected by pernicious influences, the Meridians to which they are attached will lose harmony and cannot fulfil their own functions. Because the meridian system unifies all parts of the body, the whole body will be under the influence of the affection although local parts of the bodily forms get affected. Therefore the symptoms of disharmony should be considered in a synthetic view. There are however, also cases which should be focused on the very meridian channels affected. Disorder within a Meridian generates derangement in the pathway make it not to benefit the muscles and skin belong to it. Because the meridians connect the interior organs with the exterior bodily form, they are influenced by each other.

  • Most people are connected to Social Network Services (SNS) through smart devices. Social Network Services are tools that transport information fast and easily. It does not care where he or she comes from. A lot of information circulates and is shared on Social Network Services. but Social Network Services faults are magnified and becoming a serious issue. For instance, malicious users generate multiple IDs easily on Facebook and he can use personal information of others on purpose, because most people tend to undoubtedly accept friend requests. In this paper, we have specified research scope to Facebook, which is one of most popular Social Network Services in the world. We propose a way of minimizing the number of malicious actions on Facebook from malignant users and malicious bots by setting criteria and applying reputation system.

  • The advent of Internet of Things(IoT) has increased the need for development of smart life based on Information and Communication Technology(ICT). By using IoT technology, we are able to control connected appliances using smart devices, such as smart phone. To support the smart life, there is a need to utilize emotion information for human behavior, based on both biorhythm and environment information. Research towards this goal suggests a smart lamp control system that has an effect on the human emotion. According to the PSI theory, the control system calculates the biorhythm with an algorithm that uses the human biorhythm, weather factors and walking amounts. The smart lamp works with the recommended color lights that can control the feelings and emotions of the user. Here, we will show the effect of physical and mental stability, health care, and accident prevention.
