Recently, camera function is one of the most primary functions out of the multimedia capabilities in the small mobile terminals. But, it has been difficult for implementing embedded devices with low cost because of not supporting camera interface in many SoCs. Thus, this paper presents a method of supporting camera function with ease for embedded devices which has not camera interface. For this purpose, the interface is implemented for a CMOS image sensor. The method is also provided that CIS(CMOS Image Sensor) is supported in the embedded system by programming the device driver.

With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, image compression requires higher performance as well as new functionality in the informationized society. Specially, in the specific area of still image encoding in embedded system, a new standard, JPEG2000 that improve various problem of JPEG was developed. This paper proposed a method that reduce quantity of data delivered in EBCOT(Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation) process using SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) Algorithm to optimize selection of threshold from feature of wavelet transform coefficients and to remove sign bit in LL area for the increment of compression efficiency on JPEG2000. The experimental results showed the proposed algorithm achieves more improved bit rate in embedded system.

The objective of this paper is to accommodate the existing motion-capture-based animation to small memories and low computing powers of mobile embedded systems. To use efficiently memories, we propose a paradigm in which a motion capture database is compressed on a PC and so-compressed motion capture database is decompressed little by little on mobile embedded systems and the decompressed data are eliminated right after used. As a compression method for this paradigm we propose an approach that compresses captured motion rendering parameters using a polynomial function fitting method. To enhance its performance we also propose an optimization method for the degree of the polynomial fitting function. Using so-obtained compression method we demonstrate motion-capture-based animation on commercial mobile embedded systems.

A 3-Dimensional engine in a mobile embedded device is divided into a C-based OpenGL/ES and a Java-based JSR184 which interprets and executes a byte code in a real-time. In these two standards, the JSR184 supporting Java objects uses more processor resources than an OpenGL/ES and thus has a constraint when it is used in an embedded device with a limited computing power. On the other hand, 3-Dimensional contents employed in existing personal computer are created by utilizing advantages of Java and secured numerous users in European market, due to the good quality in contents and extensive service in a commercial network, GSM. Because of the reason, a mobile embedded device used in a GSM network needs a JSR184 which can provide an existing Java-based 3-Dimensional contents without extra conversion processes, but the current version of Java-based 3-Dimensional engine has drawbacks in application to commercial products because it requires more computing power than the mobile embedded device. This paper proposes a binding technique with the advantages of Java objects to improve a processing speed of 3-Dimensional contents in limited resources of a mobile embedded device. The technique supports a JSR184 standard interface in the upper layer to utilize 3-Dimensional contents using Java, employs a different code-conversion language, KNI(Kilo Native Interface), in the middle layer to interface between OpenGL/ES and JSR184, and embodies an OpenGL/ES standard in the lower layer. The validity of the binding technique is demonstrated through a simulator and a FPGA embedding an ARM.

In this paper, H.235 based security mechanism for H.323 multimedia applications was implemented in embedded environment. H.235 covers authentication using HMAC-SHAI -96, authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange, security capability exchange, session key management for voice encryption, and encryption functions such as DES, 3DES, RC2. H.235-based mechanisms were also analyzed in terms of its security and possible attacks.

Since the radio spectrum is limited, future wireless system will have micro cellular architecture in order to provide multimedia traffic services on personal communicatons network. The small coverage area of micro cellular systems results in frequent hadnoffs and location updates. We focuse on network load and terminal power due to frequent location updates and propose a location tracking scheme using embedded-pager PCS terminals. The proposed scheme is expected to minimize theconsumption of PCS terminal powr and improve the receiving rate of callee because of the power saving mechanism and the embedded-pager PCS terminal. This paper proposes signaling flows among the network elements for the proposed location tracking scheme. The signaling flows are accomodated to not only the existed network architectures but alsothe ATM backbone network arcitecture. To verify the signaling flows, we used petri-Net model. The resutls show that the signaling flows are suitable to our proposed location tracking scheme.

Recently, system virtualization has been applied to consumer electronics (CE) such as smart mobile phones. Although multi-core processors have become a viable solution for complex applications of consumer electronics, the issue of utilizing multi-core resources in the virtualization layer has not been researched sufficiently. In this paper, we present a new hypervisor design and implementation for multi-core CE devices. We concretely describe virtualization methods for a multi-core processor and multi-core-related subsystems. We also analyze bottlenecks of network performance in a virtualization environment that supports multimedia applications and propose an efficient virtual interrupt distributor. Our new multi-core hypervisor improves network performance by 5.5 times as compared to a hypervisor without the virtual interrupt distributor.

In this paper, we developed a low cost smart puck system that can interact with the intuitive operation of natural finger touches. The tangible smart puck, designed for capacitive tabletop display, has Arduino embedded processor which communicates only with the MT server. The MT server communicates both to the smart puck and the display server. The display server displays the relevance information on the location of the smart pucks on the tabletop display and handles interactions with the users. The experiment results show that the accuracy of identifying the smart puck ID was very reliable enough to use in practice, and the information presentation processing time is confirmed excellent enough compared to traditional expensive commercial products.

In this work, we present the novel scheduling algorithm of the multimedia data retrieval for the mobile disk drive. Our algorithm is focused on minimizing the power consumption involved in data retrieval from the local disk drive. The prime commodity in mobile devices is the electricity. Strict restriction on power consumption requirement of the mobile device put unique demand in designing of its hardware and software components. State of the art disk based storage subsystem becomes small enough to be embedded in handhold devices. It delivers abundant storage capacity and portability. However, it is never be trivial to integrate small hard disk or optical disk drive in handhold devices due to its excessive power consumption. Our algorithm ARM in this article generates the optimal schedule of retrieving data blocks from the mobile disk drive while guaranteeing continuous playback of multimedia data.

카메라를 갖춘 모바일 기기가 보편화되면서 모바일 환경에서 영상처리를 이용한 다양한 응용이 확산되고 있다. 영상은 다른 정보에 비해 데이터의 양이 비교적 방대하기 때문에 모바일 환경에서 영상처리를 수행하기 위해서는 처리속도, 전력, 발열 등의 물리적 제약조건이 존재할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 모바일 기기에서 코프로세서인 임베디드 GPU(Graphic Processing Unit)를 이용한 영상처리의 고속화 방법을 제시한다. 실험에서는 보편적으로 활용되는 영상처리 알고리즘에 대해 CPU(Central Processing Unit) 및 GPU 각각에서의 성능을 비교함으로써 고속화 방법의 우수성을 검증하고 특징을 분석하였다.
