This project has been conducted to improve the usability of Chatbot Services such as Google(Allo) and Facebook M(Messenger. Based on the evaluation, this study aims to suggest the solutions to improve the usability of domestic Chatbot services and future directions for their development. It provides the overall understanding of the AI Chatbot service and the feature of Chatbot service through literature search. Furthermore, we summarized the current standing and the prospect of domestic messenger-based assistant Chatbot services. For conducting user evaluation, Peter Morville's honeycomb model is applied to in-depth user interviews. The followings are elements that could be amended to improve the service. The service should be incorporated by intuitive elements for users' understanding its functions and eliminate any elements that interfere with usability. The accuracy should be increased to improve the user satisfaction. This research will provide the future guidelines to improve the usability of Chabot services through continuous evaluation by users.

With the advances in ubiquitous service infrastructure, healthcare services have drawn attention as one of promising application domains. In ubiquitous healthcare services, patients or care-givers as well as medical personnel are asked to play their roles and, in addition, the information system is supposed to have active roles. In medicine, clinical protocols have been developed and put into practice in order to reduce treatment variances and assure the service quality. In the same token, clinical protocols on ubiquitous service practices are need to be developed which takes into account both the clinical details and the ubiquitous service functionality. This paper introduces a clinical protocol modeling methodology which pays attention to participants and their tasks including contextual information. The proposed method has been successfully applied to a real application domain, OAB(overactive bladder) syndrome patient care to see how it builds a clinical protocol.

In this paper, we described about core technologies required for the seamless service implementation and the communication system structure conceiving required for call & response services in order that the real-time traffic information service is consecutively provided to the vehicle moving at high speed. The SMART highway service is the information communication environment build-up concept which the real-time C&R service is comprised of the vehicle moving with 160km/h above. It was possible in case of being the low speed car in the DSRC system structure. However, there is a limit in the high speed environment as the DSRC system like a convention. In this paper, we proposed the structure of fitting for the SMART highway environment using the hand-over technique compositing the base station and several repeaters of DSRC system.

In vehicular network, the basic goal is to provide vehicle safety service and commercial service such as ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) or video, etc on the road. And most research concentrated on transportation of safety message in congestion situation. It is important to allocate channel for safety message in congestion situation, but providing suitable service is also important problem in vehicular network. For this reason, IEEE 1609.4 allocate 4 multiple service channels (SCHs) for non-safety data transfer. But, in congestion situation with many vehicles, the contention for channel acquisition between services becomes more severe. So services are provided improperly because of lack of service channel. This paper suggests dynamic channel allocation algorithm. The proposed algorithm is that RSU(RaodSide Unit) maintain and manage the information about service and status of channels. On based of the SJF(Shortest Job First) scheduling using those information, RSU selects the most appropriate channel among the 4 SCHs allocated by IEEE 1609.4 in network congestion situation.

Intelligent homes consist of ubiquitous sensors, home networks, and a context-aware computing system. These homes are expected to offer many services such as intelligent air-conditioning, lighting control, health monitoring, and home security. In order to realize these services, many researchers have worked on various research topics including smart sensors with low power consumption, home network protocols, resident and location detection, context-awareness, and scenario and service control. This paper presents the real-time metabolic rate estimation method that is based on measured heart rate for human adaptive appliance (air-conditioner, lighting etc.). This estimation results can provide valuable information to control smart appliances so that they can adjust themselves according to the status of residents. The heart rate based method has been experimentally compared with the location-based method on a test bed.

In this paper, We propose the real-time monitor and control mechanism based-on web service for intelligent robot called URC(Ubiquitous Robotic Companion). URC is intelligent robot designed to interact with external digital device that can communicate through wire or wireless. In this paper, we designed the result of this study into the target robot called NETTORO and proved its practical worth. we optimized web-service technology in Embedded system environment so that can monitor and control indoors in remote place through acquired information from various sensors / actuators and then we designed. Also, we described command port to WSDL, so that can apply variously such as web server or application program in AXIS engine through gSOAP transmission protocol.

IEEE WAVE(Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment) is being developed to operate in 5 GHz DSRC band to provide cars moving at high-speed with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside communication. IEEE P 1609.3 of the WAVE protocol stack defines how multiple channels are used based on the exchange of provider-service-tables (PST) and user-service-tables (UST) for rapid link establishment and data transmission. This paper presents the design and implementation of an IEEE WAVE multi-channel transmission emulator that we have developed to study the operation of protocol and applications. Applications for a public-safety and a download service have been implemented and are shown to operate effectively on top of the emulator.

Recent ubiquitous computing environments increasingly impact on our lives using the current technologies of sensor network and ubiquitous services. In this paper, we propose ubiquitous architectural framework for ubiquitous sleep aid service(UbiSAS) in the subset of ubiquitous computing for refreshing of human's sleep. And we examine technical feasibility. Human can recover his health through refreshing sleep from fatigue. Ubiquitous architectural framework for UbiSAS in digital home offers agreeable sleeping environment and improves recovery from fatigue. So we present new concept of ubiquitous architectural framework dissolving stress. Specially, we apply context to context-aware framework module. This context is transferred to context adaptive inference engine which has service invocation function in intelligent agent module. Ubiquitous architectural framework for UbiSAS using context adaptive rule inference engine without user intervention is technical issue. That is to say, we should take sleep comfortably during our sleeping. And sensed information during sleeping is changed to context-aware information. This presents significant information in context adaptive rule inference engine for UbiSAS. This information includes all sleeping state during sleeping in context-aware computing technique. So we propose more effective and most suitable ubiquitous architectural framework using context adaptive rule inference engine for refreshing sleep in this paper.

In this paper, we introduce a concrete, practical Ubiquitous Organizational Information (UOI) service framework, providing novice users intelligent and useful services respecting the environment. The UOI framework consists of hierarchical network architecture and is based on distributed sensor networks. To provide a rich array of services, the modular software framework and foundation software is designed. The UOI framework and foundation software is implemented on our hardware prototype. We define three representative UOI services and illustrate each service flow operating in our UOI network. In addition, we describe some details in the implementation of a distributed UOI network on the UOI test-bed.
