The Internet of Things market, a technology that connects the Internet to various things, is growing day by day. Besides, various smart home services using IoT and AI (Artificial Intelligence) are being launched in homes. Related to this, existing smart home-related studies focus primarily on ICT technology, not on what service improvements should be made in customer positions. In this study, we will use smart home application customer review data to classify functional and design elements of smart home usability value and examine the ways customers think of service improvement. For this, LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics" Smart Home application, the main provider of Smart Home in Korea, customer reviews were crawled to conduct a comparative analysis between them. In this study, the review of IoT home-applications was analyzed to find service improvement insights from customer perspective, and related analysis of text mining, social network analysis and Doc2vec was used to efficiently analyze data equivalent to about 16,000 user reviews. Through this research, we hope that related companies effectively seek ways to improve smart home services that reflect customer needs and are expected to help them establish competitive strategies by identifying weaknesses and strengths among competitors.

Smart home is a technology for monitoring and controlling all the information about a house by integrating various home applications like cooling, heating, lighting, kitchen and security systems into a network. Although home appliances have become more convenient to use due to the development of smart home technology, they are also more vulnerable to information security hazards. Unauthorized visitors may have access to any of home appliance to arbitrarily control it or acquire information. This causes serious privacy and security problems, which should be solved to further smart home technology. This present paper proposed a dynamic user access control system for privacy protection in smart homes. The proposed system defines the role of a user of smart home services by automatically identifying the status information of the user and dynamically controls the access range for the service. In this way, the privacy of a user can be protected and the inter-smart device service is effectively provided. Consequently, the proposed dynamic user access control for smart home will improve the security service for protecting privacy in smart home devices.

This paper proposes the wireless integrated service for controlling networked appliances. Using wireless devices such as celluar phone and PDA which can communicate through Bluetooth and CDMA technology, home appliances are accessed and controlled from outside of house. The XML and the SMS message format is designed to specify controlling information for home appliances. Also the mobile agent and the message processor for networked appliances are implemented in the home gateway. In order to verify the proposed service system, a universal remote controller for cellular phone and PDA and network appliance simulator on web browser are implemented. Correct operation is verified through simulation using them.

Ubiquitous home refers not only to home but also to logical space, including a wide range of out-home personal devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, laptops, car navigators, and office PCs. There are certain connection barriers among the devices, such as the dynamic IP address, NAT. In a home network, various devices coexist in heterogeneous networks, such as IP, IEEE1394, PLC, Bluetooth, ZigBee, UWB, and IrDA, all of which lack interoperability due to their different physical transmission characteristics and protocols. In ubiquitous home where an unrestricted collaboration of the devices is essential to offer services that meet the users' requirements, free interoperability among the devices must be guaranteed. This paper proposes a networking model for interoperability of the heterogeneous devices in a ubiquitous home based on a virtual overlay network which hides the complicated physical network configurations and heterogeneity of the service protocols.

In this paper, a system with sensor network security mechanism which can be applied to home network structure is designed and it is implemented on a virtual network of a home network middleware. The basic structure of home networking middleware supports one-to-one (unicast) or broadcast communication mode between the lookup server and service nodes on the network. Confidentiality and authentication are key security factors of the one-to-one communication and user authentication is crucial for broadcasting mode. One of the sensor network's security techniques SPINS consists of SNEP and ${\mu}TESLA$. The SNEP ensures confidentiality and authentication, and ${\mu}TESLA$ provides broadcast authentication. We propose a SPIN based home network middleware and it is implemented by using the CBC-MAC for MAC generation, the counter mode (CTR) for message freshness, the pseudo random function (PRF) and RC5 as encryption algorithm. The implementation result shows that an attacker cannot decrypt the message though he gets the secure key because of CTR mode. In addition, we confirmed that a received message of the server is authenticated using MAC.

It was already realized at a current technological level of home network systems that the systems recognizes a user's simple order and carry out the order in the ubiquitous computing environment. However home is not a simple environment consisting into a large number of family members, so various order and situation would be needed accordingly. From now on we need to reach the technological level to infer that how is the user's behavior patterns and what kinds of service is the fittest to user who belong to the ubiquitous computing environment by using the result of the context interpreter. In this regards, active inferred-model needs to be suggested upgrading user's command into one step more higher level than the simple one adapting diversified feature. This study would like to suggest this active model recognizing context, which is user's environmental information applying basic network and inferring Context-based Service that user wants through the recognized result This study proposes a new method that can infer the user's desire in ubiquitous computing environment. First of all, we define a context as user's information of ubiquitous computing environment situation that user belongs to and we classify the context into 4W1H(Where, Who, When, What) formats. We construct Bayesian network and put the factor of context use as Bayesian network nodes. As a result, we can infer the user's behavior pattern and most proper service for user in the intelligent space from the probabilistic result of Bayesian network.

ADSL은 일반 가정이나 SOHO에서 Internet access나 Remote LAN Access와 같은 application을 대상으로 사용하기에 적합하다. 제 2장에서는 CPN에서의 configuration, usage scenario를 알아보고 splitter configuration들과 PDN, SM, TE간의 interface가 어떻게 정의되는가를 살펴보았다. 제 3장에서는 central office의 configuration을 간단히 살펴보고, DSLAM 및 service provider network의 requirement들을 알아보았다. 제 4장에서는 원활한 network adaptation 및 service를 위한 Frame based 및 ATM based ADSL architecture들에 대해 언급하고 가능한 protocol stacks들에 대해 간단히 알아보았다. 또한 home network이나 corporate network에서 필요한 tunneling protocol이나 firewall의 구현가능성도 검토하였다. 현재 이러한 내용들이 ADSL Forum에서 활발히 논의되고 있으나, UADSL을 비롯한 ADSL의 대규모 설치에 따른 field trial 및 service를 통해 장단점이 검증될 것으로 보이며 따라서 앞으로 $1\sim2$년 후에나 좀더 효율적인 ADSL architecture, interface 및 protocol이 표준모델로 정착될 것으로 보인다.

In this paper, we describes the development of Bluetooth network Access Point(AP) for the access network connection of Bluetooth devices at home. Unlike headset, mouse, and keyboard, the AP should have capability to support multiple connection and stabilized network throughput. Our AP allows various kinds of Bluetooth terminals to access the access network like xDSL and PSTN(Public Swithced Telephone Network) stably. Especially, users can access the PSTN at home instead of expensive CDMA network through the AP by using the one-phone which is the cellular phone with the Bluetooth module.

The purpose of this study is to provide information of the structure of the social support network and life interchange with the social support network which influence the life satisfaction in the rural elderly. The sample of this study was selected from the elderly living in Korea rural areas. 350 out of 363 respondents were finally selected as datum sources. The methodological instrument was the questionnaire. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows: First most of rural elderly had the relationship all kinds of social support network-family kin neighbors & friend. And the family was the primary source of support network. The com-mon size of the social support network was 1-3 persons. Second the frequency of the contact with the family the neighbors & the friends were almost daily and they were interacting in a near distance. The interchange with the social support network was high. Life satisfaction of the rural elderly was low. Third the interchange with the family and the kin the emotional interchange had the effect upon life satisfaction. Also the economic service support was significant in the kin and the neighbors.
