In this paper, we present a performance comparison of feature parameters and classifiers for speech/music discrimination. Experiments were carried out on six feature parameters and three classifiers. It turns out that three classifiers shows similar performance. The feature set that captures the temporal and spectral structure of the signal yields good performance, while the phone-based feature set shows relatively inferior performance.

In accordance with development of smart phone, the importance of keypad was increasing, because the smart phone provides a variety of feature like word processor, chatting program, messenger and etc. In this paper, we propose the new Hangeul keypad for smart phones using gestures. And, also we do experiment for performance evaluation of the proposed keypad in this paper. The experiment shows that the proposed keypad is more efficient than other keypads.

According to the customers' demands, cellular phones are getting thinner and thinner in spite that their functions are getting more complex and flexible. Based on this trend, we are willing to propose new design of ultra slim cellular phone with multi-hinges which can provide thinner feature and wider active area than the current merchandised one. To make it come true, smaller and stronger mechanical parts would be necessary and more researches would be carried out in the near future. Moreover, the new frame of ultra slim cellular phone has the problem in heat propagation due to its thin feature and multi function. In this paper, slim heat-spreader would be proposed as a candidate to resolve the problem of heat transfer in the new cellular phone. To investigate the applicability of heat-spreader to cellular phones, prototypes were fabricated and verified.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure (BP) are main vital signs which are the standards in most medical settings in assessing the most basic body functions. Multi parameters are desired in providing more information for health professionals in order to detect or monitor medical problems of patients more precisely. This study urges us to develop a robust wireless healthcare monitoring system which has multiple physiological signs measurements on real time that applicable to various environments which integrates wireless sensor network technology and code division multiple access (CDMA) network with extended feature of locally standalone diagnosis algorithms that implemented in tell phone. ECG signal and BP parameter of the patients are routinely be monitored, processed and analyzed in details at cell phone locally to produce useful medical information to ease patients for tracking and future reference purposes. Any suspected or unknown patterns of signals will be immediately forwarded to hospital server using cell phone for doctors' evaluation. This feature enables the patients always recognize the importance of self-health checking so that the preventive actions can be taken earlier through this analytic information provided by this monitoring system because "Prevention is better than Cure".

We propose a new method for automatic fluency scoring of English speaking tests spoken by nonnative speakers in a free-talking style. The proposed method is different from the previous methods in that it does not require the transcribed texts for spoken utterances. At first, an input utterance is segmented into a phone sequence by using a phone recognizer trained by using native speech databases. For each utterance, a feature vector with 6 features is extracted by processing the segmentation results of the phone recognizer. Then, fluency score is computed by applying support vector regression (SVR) to the feature vector. The parameters of SVR are learned by using the rater scores for the utterances. In computer experiments with 3 tests taken by 48 Korean adults, we show that speech rate, phonation time ratio, and smoothed unfilled pause rate are best for fluency scoring. The correlation of between the rater score and the SVR score is shown to be 0.84, which is higher than the correlation of 0.78 among raters. Although the correlation is slightly lower than the correlation of 0.90 when the transcribed texts are given, it implies that the proposed method can be used as a preprocessing tool for fluency evaluation of speaking tests.

The rise and fall of social research methods rely on how much a certain method is able to appropriately reflect the change of society. The present research proposes new mobile surveying methods, considering the current and future trends in Korea. In particular, this research focuses on environmental pressure (time constraints, the presence of others and the place) as one of the major factors influencing the effects of survey modes. For example, landline surveys are conducted in the respondent's home, which is a private and fixed space. On the other hand, surveys on mobile phones can be conducted in diverse places with other people around. After sampling 500 landline respondents and 500 mobile phone respondents using a quota method, the same questionnaire was used for both the mobile and landline interviews. The findings are generally consistent with the literature supporting the data quality and comparability of the mixed mode survey. These results are encouraging for researchers designing surveys that feature mobile phone data collection.

Human face avatar is important information in nowadays, such as describing real people in virtual world. In this paper, we have presented a face avatar creation and warping algorithm by using face feature analysis method, in order to detect face feature, we utilized local mean method based on facial feature appearance and face geometric information. Then detect facial candidates by using it's character in $YC_bC_r$ color space. Meanwhile, we also defined the rules which are based on face geometric information to limit searching range. For analyzing face feature, we used face feature points to describe their feature, and analyzed geometry relationship of these feature points to create the face avatar. Then we have carried out simulation on PC and embed mobile device such as PDA and mobile phone to evaluate efficiency of the proposed algorithm. From the simulation results, we can confirm that our proposed algorithm will have an outstanding performance and it's execution speed can also be acceptable.

As credit cards are more convenient than cash of heavy and volume, they are used widely in on_line (internet) and off_line in nowadays. A head of the economically active population had 4.8 credit cards in the third quarter 2011. The economically active population in their 20's and 30's may have more than 10 credit cards. If the membership card and point card are included, the count rise to 20 cards in a man. Therefore, the their purse become thick by several cards. Nowadays, the smart-phone is widely used. Therefore, a lot of credit cards are come in smarty-phone from analog form to digital form. In this paper, we study a method of digital credit cards management in smart-phone. For the method, the hardware need in small and existing system have a few change. All kinds of credit cards are used in smarty-phone. We compare the method with Moneta card and NFC of smarty-phone. The digital credit cards feature a light, safety and convenience of mobile users in several ways.

본 논문에서는 시스템 운용자가 현장에 직접 상주하지 않고도 WAP 및 ME 기반의 개인 휴대폰(Feature phone)과 인터넷 웹을 연동해서 언제 어디서나 시스템의 운용 상태를 모니터링하고 제어할 수 있는 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 기존에 PDA와 WLAN 기술을 결합한 TCP/IP 통신기반의 원격장치 데이터 모니터링 시스템이 가지는 공간적인 제약을 극복하고, 사용자에게 이동성을 보장하고자 한다. 제안하는 시스템의 테스트를 위해, 제어 대상 시스템은 AC나 DC전원 제어를 필요로 하는 개별모듈로 구성한다. 로컬 시스템에 대한 제어 및 모니터링을 위한 프로그램은 편리성과 신뢰성을 위해 NI Labview를 사용해 개발한다. 또한 웹 서버는 APM 연동을 사용해서 개발자의 범용성이 보장되게 한다. 그리고 모바일 접속환경은 개인 휴대단말의 범용성을 보장하기위해 WML과 mHTML 언어를 이용해서 개발한다. 실험을 통해서 본 논문에서 제안하는 모델이 기존 시스템이 가지는 공간적 제약사항과 이동성 문제를 해결함을 보였다.
