With the advent of the digital broadcasting, the audiences can access a large number of TV programs and their information through the multiple channels on various media devices. The access to a large number of TV programs can support a user for many chances with which he/she can sort and select the best one of them. However, the information overload on the user inevitably requires much effort with a lot of patience for finding his/her favorite programs. Therefore, it is useful to provide the persona1ized broadcasting service which assists the user to automatically find his/her favorite programs. As the growing requirements of the TV personalization, we introduce our automatic user preference learning algorithm which 1) analyzes a user's usage history on TV program contents: 2) extracts the user's watching pattern depending on a specific time and day and shows our automatic TV program recommendation system using MPEG-7 MDS (Multimedia Description Scheme: ISO/IEC 15938-5) and 3) automatically calculates the user's preference. For our experimental results, we have used TV audiences' watching history with the ages, genders and viewing times obtained from AC Nielson Korea. From our experimental results, we observed that our proposed algorithm of the automatic user preference learning algorithm based on the Bayesian network can effectively learn the user's preferences accordingly during the course of TV watching periods.

The information and communication technology under developing from was time of broadcast and communication Convergence. There is iCOD with representative service of broadcast and communication Convergence. This the superhigh speed Internet about under using is the service which provides information service, the video contents and broadcasting and others with TV. But this service when it searches broadcasting information of different Channel, again must analyze the stream of broadcasting there is a problem point. This thesis hereupon iCOD broadcasting services it searched efficiently from the terminal and in order the fact that it selects from iCOD broadcasting streams SI information about under extracting SD&S base iPG XML documents it created and it transmits with the distant mote cast the method which and it planned it embodied.

Compared with analog broadcasting, digital broadcasting supports technical background to provide personalize the TV watching environment by offering broadcasting services that can adapt to viewers' preferences. However, current digital broadcasting shows limited services such as reservation recording, simple program guiding with an electronic program guide (EPG) on a personal video recorder system, and primitive data broadcasting by broadcasters. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to suggest a new broadcasting environment which gives a person facility and a difference fur watching TV by serving enhanced personalized services. For that reason, we propose an intelligent broadcasting system which can minimize viewer's actions, and enhanced broadcasting services which are based on understanding of the semantics of broadcasting contents. To implement the system, agent technology as well as the MPEG-7 and TV-Anytime Forum (TVAF) are employed. For content-level services, real-time content filtering and personalized video skimming are designed and implemented. To verify the usefulness of the proposed system, we demonstrate it with a test-bed on which content-level personalized services are implemented.

In this paper, we present a design and implementation of a TV-Anytime compliant STB to provide personalized content consumption according to user preferences and various terminal/network conditions. This paper mainly details with a metadata engine which consists of meta data de-multiplexing, metadata decoding, and metadata-based content browsing. For personalized content consumption, the proposed metadata engine provides the following key functionalities: advanced EPG, non-linear segment navigation wirh Tables-of-Content and/or event-based summary, automatic recommendation of user-preferred programs, and etc. The implemented STB employing the metadata engine is successfully tested with a set of service scenarios in an end-to-end broadcasting test-bed.

This paper describes the design and FPGA implementation of a system control unit within a multiprocessor chip which can be used as a node processor ina massively parallel processing (MPP) caches, memory management units, a bus unit and a system control unit. Major functions of the system control unit are locking/unlocking of the shared variables of protected access, synchronization of instruction execution among four integer untis, control of interrupts, generation control of processor's status, etc. The system control unit was modeled in very high level using verilog HDL. Then, it was simulated and verified in an environment where trap handler and external interrupt controller were added. Functional blocks of the system control unit were changed into RTL(register transfer level) model and synthesized using xilinx FPGA cell library in synopsys tool. The synthesized system control unit was implemented by Xilinx FPGA chip (XC4025EPG299) after timing verification.

본 논문은 EPG(Electronic Program Guide) 및 TV-Anytime 메타데이터를 이용하여 TV 시청자에게 개인형 편성 방송 프로그램 서비스를 제공 하기 위한 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 관한 것이다 기존의 사용자 맞춤형 방송 서비스는 TV 시청자가 시청하기 원하는 독립적인 프로그램 수준의 방송을 TV시청자가 원하는 시간에 선택하고 시청할 수 있는 서비스에 초점이 맞추어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는EPG메타데이터 및 세그먼트 메타데이터를 활용하여 TV시청자가 원하는 시간에 시청하기 원하는 프로그램 수준의 방송뿐만 아니라, 해당 프로그램의 시청하기 원하는 일부 방송들을 편성하고, 편성된 세그먼트 방송을 TV시청자의 시간 스케줄에 따라 시청할 수 있는 서비스 모델을 제시하고 구현 하였다.

The rapid expansion of the medical information super-highway through the internet with the sophistication of computer engineering and its application has made telemedicine in the cyberspace possible. Recent progress in the medical informatics enables us to use the medical information regardless on the time or place limit, to make a diagnostic and therapeutic plan. according to increasing need about health of general population. There are many database oriented sites on the web, which provide medical common senses, hospital information, and medical counselling on the web. But there are few oriental pulse database on the web. The purpose of this study is to develope the Clinical Oriental Pulse Database Management System over the WWW.

디지털 방송의 시작과 함께, 지상파, 위성, 케이블과 같은 다양한 매체를 통한 다채널 방송 시청 환경의 도래는 사용자에게 많은 방송 프로그램 시청 정보를 전달하게 되었다. 이와 더불어, 방송 단말에 전송된 다양한 방송 프로그램 정보를 탐색하고 선호 방송 프로그램을 선별하기 위해서는 사용자에게 많은 노력이 요구된다. 이러한 요구에 따라, 똔 논문에서는 다채널 방송 시청 환경 하에서 사용자의 방송 프로그램 시청 히스토리를 분석하고, 특정 시간에 따른 사용자의 방송 프로그램 시청 패턴을 추출하여 방송 프로그램 장르에 대한 사용자 선호도를 자동으로 계산하는 알고리즘을 제안하고, MPEG-7 MDS 구조에 따른 사용자 선호도 서술과 사용자의 선호도에 따라 방송 프로그램을 자동적으로 추천하는 TV 프로그램 추천 어플리케이션을 소개한다 본 실험을 위해 실제 연령대별, 성별, 시간대별로 사용자의 TV 시청 자료를 사용하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 본 논문에 제안된 베이시안 네트워크 기반 사용자 자동 학습 알고리즘이 효과적으로 사용자 선호도를 학습할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Since two-way interactive broadcasting service began, remote controls have been fitted with 4 color buttons, which enables interaction and convenience to increase between users and content. Currently, diverse studies on IPTV are in progress. Particularly, as the mobile market rapidly grows, studies on mobile IPTV and on linkage with other media are constantly increasing. However, mobile IPTV has never been studied until now. In that sense, this present study attempted to design a mobile-based IPTV UI that could use a multi-dimensional search method based on consistent criteria for content search. As a result, the proposed IPTV UI is fitted with more usability and functionality for 4 color buttons. The UI designed in this study was compared to the IMDb Android Application, which uses GOMS-KLM. The results showed that the performance process was reduced by three stages, and that the performance time was reduced by more than 17.9%. Therefore, the conclusion can be reached that the proposed UI is effective for a fast search of contents.
