Today, with the development of technology and industry, fire accidents in special buildings are increasing as special buildings increase. However, despite the rapid development of information and communication technology, human casualties are steadily occurring due to the underdeveloped and ineffective indoor fire alarm system. In this study, we confirmed that the existing indoor fire alarm system using acoustic alarm could not deliver a sufficiently large alarm to the in-room personnel. To improve this, we designed and implemented a fire alarm system using edge computing and beacons. The proposed improved fire alarm system consists of terminal sensor nodes, edge nodes, a user application, and a server. The terminal sensor nodes collect indoor environment data and send it to the edge node, and the edge node monitors whether a fire occurs through the transmitted sensor value. In addition, the edge node continuously generate beacon signals to collect information of smart devices with user applications installed within the signal range, store them in a server database, and send application push-type fire alarms to all in-room personnel based on the collected user information. As a result of conducting a signal valid range measurement experiment in a university building with dense lecture rooms, it was confirmed that device information was normally collected within the beacon signal range of the edge node and a fire alarm was quickly sent to specific users. Through this, it was confirmed that the "blind spot problem of the alarm" was solved by flexibly collecting information of visitors that changes time to time and sending the alarm to a smart device very adjacent to the people. In addition, through the analysis of the experimental results, a plan to effectively apply the proposed fire alarm system according to the characteristics of the indoor space was proposed.

While the construction industry is striving to make changes suitable for the 4th industrial revolution era through the introduction of 4th industrial revolution technologies, such change is progressing more slowly than in other industries. Nevertheless, the recent digitization and digital transformation of the construction industry can provide a new paradigm to address and innovate the chronic problems faced by the construction industry. Therefore, in this study, a case study using a data hub and API for use of the data hub, which is essential for digitalization and digital transformation, was conducted, and the efficiency and feasibility of using the data hub and API were considered. When the API system was introduced, it was found that the average budget savings per person was about 23%, and the costbenefit ratio was about 4.4 times higher, indicating that the feasibility of the project was very high. The results and framework of this study can serve as fundamental research data for related research, and provide a worthy case study to promote the introduction of related technologies. This will ultimately contribute to digitalization and digital transformation for smartization of the construction industry.

In the current medical information system, a system environment is constructed in which Biometric data generated by using IoT or medical equipment connected to a patient can be stored in a medical information server and monitored at the same time. Also, the patient's biometric data, medical information, and personal information after simple authentication using only the ID / PW via the mobile terminal of the medical staff are easily accessible. However, the method of accessing these medical information needs to be improved in the dimension of protecting patient's personal information, and provides a quick authentication system for first aid. In this paper, we implemented an automatic authentication system based on the patient's situation and evaluated its performance. Patient's situation was graded into normal and emergency situation, and the situation of the patient was determined in real time using incoming patient biometric data from the ward. If the patient's situation is an emergency, an emergency message including an emergency code is send to the mobile terminal of the medical staff, and they attempted automatic authentication to access the upper medical information of the patient. Automatic authentication is a combination of user authentication(ID/PW, emergency code) and mobile terminal authentication(medical staff's role, working hours, work location). After user authentication, mobile terminal authentication is proceeded automatically without additional intervention by medical staff. After completing all authentications, medical staffs get authorization according to the role of medical staffs and patient's situations, and can access to the patient's graded medical information and personal information through the mobile terminal. We protected the patient's medical information through limited medical information access by the medical staff according to the patient's situation, and provided an automatic authentication without additional intervention in an emergency situation. We performed performance evaluation to verify the performance of the implemented automatic authentication system.

In this paper, an optical sensor based on an AZO semiconductor material is fabricated on an OHP film with high transmittance, and the characteristics of the optical element and the properties of the semiconductor material are described. In order to realize a flexible optical device, which is a major issue in the field of near-electronic devices, a transparent and bendable OHP film was used as a substrate. In addition, ITO, which is used for mass production as a transparent electrode and a semiconductor material, is expensive due to the scarcity of indium. Therefore, it is necessary to find a material that can replace it. The optical and electrical properties of the Au/Al/AZO/OHP structure are implemented to evaluate whether AZO is possible. It was found that devices and materials had no characteristic change by bending, and these results provide a possibility for application to a next-generation device. However, it is necessary to remove fine scratches on the surface of the OHP film, as well as optimized devices based on materials and structures that can improve the photocurrent.

The Sejong City was launched in July 2012 and was initially focused on the relocation of central administrative agencies, but it has been changing from an administrative city to a fourth industrial city since 2019 to a smart city and the implementation of Korea's New Deal in 2020. Identity design needs to be reevaluated accordingly. In particular, the web environment is also calling for an optimized identity design due to rapid changes in information technology such as various wearables and the Internet of Things. As the number of responsive web sites where information and communication technologies can be developed and optimized screens can be viewed increased, identity was intuitively communicated to users and designs were applied to make them more distinct and empathetic to other cities. Prior to the study, we looked at prior studies on the changing times in the web environment and the reactive web, and analyzed the identity design of the reactive web and applied minimalism characteristics step by step. Based on this, we surveyed experts and non-experts on the proposed survey by applying minimalist characteristics (simple, repeatability, and spatiality) of reactive identity and found that it was easily and intuitively recognizable in a small web environment such as mobile. Therefore, we hope that Sejong City's identity will continue to be studied in various ways and efficient management so that identity can be established in accordance with the changes of the times.

Due to the rapid development and dissemination of 5G communication and IoT technologies, there are increasing demands for big data analysis techniques and service systems. In particular, explosively growing demands on AI technology adoption are also causing high competitions to take advantages of machine/deep-learning models to extract novel values from enormously collected data. In order to adopt AI technology to various research and application domains, it is necessary to prepare high-performance GPU-equipped systems and perform complicated settings to utilze deep learning models. To relieve the efforts and lower the barrier to utilize AI techniques, AIaaS(AI as a service) platform is attracting a great deal of attention as a promising on-line service, where the complexity of preparation and operation can be hidden behind the cloud side and service developers only need to utilize the high-level AI services easily. In this paper, we propose an AIaaS system which can support the creation of AI services based on Docker and OpenFaaS from the registration of models to the on-line operation. We also describe a case study to show how AI services can be easily generated by the proposed system.
