Social Network Service has been extremely popular these days and providing diverse features and functions to users. Social networking and interest sharing in between users are key factors of SNS and this circles back to draw more users to the service. Web is the first media to provide SNS and mobile is the next. The service based on mobile environmental uniqueness such as Location-based-service(LBS) is the key success factors to convert users to web SNS to mobile SNS. TV has also been a possible SSN market to draw users to share interests and participation. However TV has been always community electronics in family members and personalization to provide SNS has been barrier to overcome. In this study, we explorer ideas of key factors of personalization in TV environment and conducted a field study to define characteristics of TV personalization in terms of depth, method, style and structure. Research finds out that there are significant differences in these categories.

The satellite navigation system is widely used for identifying a user's position regardless of weather or geographic conditions and also make effect on new technology of marine LBS(Location Based Service), which has the technology of geographic information such as the ENC. Generally, there are conceivable systems of marine LBS such as ECDIS, or ECS that use the ENC itself with powerful processor in installed type on ships bridge. Since the ENC is relatively heavy structure with dummy format for data transfer between different systems, we should reduce the ENC to small and compact size in order to use it in mobile platform. In this paper, we assumed that the mobile system like PDA, or Webpad can be used for small capability of mobile platform. However, the ENC should be updated periodically by update profile data produced by HO. If we would reduce the ENC without a consideration of update, we could not get newly updated data furthermore. As summary, we studied considerations for ENC reduction with update capability. It will make the ENC be useful in many mobile platforms for various applications.

In this paper, using the received signal strength of radio beacon such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CDMA and GPS signal from the satellite, we propose the system of positioning which considered indoor and outdoor based on the Place Lab. Conventional Place Lab utilize the various positioning parameters to estimate the indoor location. However, this conventional system has limitations with respect to the range and efficiency of usage. Therefore, we defined the converged model of multisensor data and re-organized the Place Lab to overcome the limitation of a conventional system. Proposed system uses the radio beacon signal and GPS signal together to estimate the location. Furthermore, it provides the seamless PNS service with many mobile devices because this system realized by the OSGi bundle. This proposed system has evaluated the performance with SAMSUNG T*OMNIA SCH-M490 smart phone and the result shows the system is able to support the PNS service.

Due to the recent advancement of cloud computing, the research on database outsourcing has been actively done. Moreover, the number of users who utilize Location-based Services(LBS) has been increasing with the development in w ireless communication technology and mobile devices. Therefore, LBS providers attempt to outsource their spatial database to service provider, in order to reduce costs for data storage and management. However, because unauthorized access to sensitive data is possible in spatial database outsourcing, it is necessary to study on the preservation of a user's privacy. Thus, we, in this paper, propose a spatial data encryption scheme to produce outsourced database from an original database. We also propose a k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN) query processing algorithm that efficiently performs k-NN by using the outsourced database. Finally, we show from performance analysis that our algorithm outperforms the existing one.

The drastic growth of mobile communication and spreading of smart phone make the significant attention on Location Based Service. The one of most important things for vitalization of LBS is the accurate estimating position for mobile object. Focusing on AP's probabilistic position estimation, we develop an AP distribution map and new pattern matching algorithm for position estimation. The developed approaches can strengthen the advantages of Radio fingerprint based Wi-Fi Positioning System, especiall on the algorithms and data handling. Compared on the existing approaches of fingerprint pattern matching algorithm, we achieve the comparable higher performance on both of average error of estimation and deviation of errors. Furthermore all fingerprint data have been harvested from the actual measurement of radio fingerprint of Seoul, Kangnam area. This can approve the practical usefulness of proposed methodology.

The purpose of this paper is introducing WiFi based EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) method for indoor positioning. The advantages of our EKF method include: 1) Any special equipment dedicated for positioning is not required. 2) implementation of EKF does not require off-line phase of fingerprinting methods. 3) The EKF effectively minimizes squared deviation of the trilateration method. In order to experimentally prove the advantages of our method, we implemented indoor positioning systems making use of the K-NN(K Nearest Neighbors), Bayesian, decision tree, trilateration, and our EKF methods. Our experimental results show that the average-errors of K-NN, Bayesian and decision tree methods are all close to 2.4 meters whereas the average errors of trilateration and EKF are 4.07 meters and 3.528 meters, respectively. That is, the accuracy of our EKF is a bit inferior to those of fingerprinting methods. Even so, our EKF is accurate enough to be used for practical indoor LBS systems. Moreover, our EKF is easier to implement than fingerprinting methods because it does not require off-line phase.

Recently, the query processing algorithm in the field of spatial network database(SNDB) has been attracted by many Interests. But, there is little research on route-based queries. Since the moving objects move only in spatial networks, the efficient route-based query processing algorithms, like in-route nearest neighbor(IRNN), are essential for Location-based Service(LBS) and Telematics application. However, the existing IRNN query processing algorithm has a problem that it does not consider traffic jams in the road network. In this thesis, we propose an IRNN query processing algorithm which considers space restriction. Finally, we show that space-constrained IRNN query processing algorithm is efficient compared with the existing IRNN algorithm.

Mobile environments rapidly changing and digital convergence widely employed, mobile devices including smart phones have been playing a critical role that changes users' lifestyle in the areas of entertainments, businesses and information services. The various services using mobile devices are developing to meet the personal needs of users in the mobile environments. Especially, an LBS (Location-Based Service) is combined with other services and contents such as augmented reality, mobile SNS (Social Network Service), games, and searching, which can provide convenient and useful services to mobile users. In this paper, we design and implement the prototype of mobile personal assistant (PA) agents. Our personal assistant agent helps users do some tasks by hiding the complexity of difficult tasks, performing tasks on behalf of the users, and reflecting the preferences of users. To identify user's preferences and provide personalized services, clustering and classification algorithms of data mining are applied. The clusters of the log data using clustering algorithms are made by measuring the dissimilarity between two objects based on usage patterns. The classification algorithms produce user profiles within each cluster, which make it possible for PA agents to provide users with personalized services and contents. In the experiment, we measured the classification accuracy of user model clustered using clustering algorithms. It turned out that the classification accuracy using our method was increased by 17.42%, compared with that using other clustering algorithms.
