Ships and their cargos have been managed safely by positioning report system. However, little attention has been paid to safety of crew's works with danger. The attempt that used PHS inboard was before by the present authors. However, the functions were just voice call and mail exchange. The data acquisition from the terminal by proper control was not possible. Thus the position of the terminal was not available. As for the cell phone of next generation, GPS receiver and wireless LAN are installed by manufacturers. Therefore, we propose a system which uses a cell-phone with GPS receiver on a ship in order to promote the safety of ship's crew. We checked the availability of cell-phone GPS receiver at thirty different points inboard. The positioning was not possible in the areas further than 4m from the window. Then, we proposed the system which follows the positions of the crews and confirms their safety inboard by using the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) function by wireless LAN.

With increasing use of smartphone, users require a new message service to prevent security attack and provide integrated messages. Since smartphone uses data services such as 3G cell network and WiFi, it can provide reliable message transfer through various security policies. In addition, it can transfer various data collected using built-in camera and GPS. This paper proposes a smart message service platform which can provide security services such as authentication, confidentiality and integrity as well as transfer the integrated message including location, picture and text. To verity the functionality of the platform, this paper implements an iPhone app and message transfer server, and then shows the implementation results.
