As Internet usage is becoming more common worldwide and smartphone become necessity in daily life, technologies and applications related to mobile Internet are developing rapidly. The results of the Internet usage patterns of consumers around the world imply that there are many potential new business opportunities for mobile Internet technologies and applications. The location-based service (LBS) is a service based on the location information of the mobile device. LBS has recently gotten much attention among many mobile applications and various LBSs are rapidly developing in numerous categories. However, even with the development of LBS related technologies and services, there is still a lack of empirical research on the intention to use LBS. The application of previous researches is limited because they focused on the effect of one particular factor and had not shown the direct relationship on the intention to use LBS. Therefore, this study presents a research model of factors that affect the intention to use and actual use of LBS whose market is expected to grow rapidly, and tested it by conducting a questionnaire survey of 330 users. The results of data analysis showed that service customization, service quality, and personal innovativeness have a positive effect on the intention to use LBS and the intention to use LBS has a positive effect on the actual use of LBS. These results implies that LBS providers can enhance the user's intention to use LBS by offering service customization through the provision of various LBSs based on users' needs, improving information service qualities such as accuracy, timeliness, sensitivity, and reliability, and encouraging personal innovativeness. However, privacy concerns in the context of LBS are not significantly affected by service customization and personal innovativeness and privacy concerns do not significantly affect the intention to use LBS. In fact, the information related to users' location collected by LBS is less sensitive when compared with the information that is used to perform financial transactions. Therefore, such outcomes on privacy concern are revealed. In addition, the advantages of using LBS are more important than the sensitivity of privacy protection to the users who use LBS than to the users who use information systems such as electronic commerce that involves financial transactions. Therefore, LBS are recommended to be treated differently from other information systems. This study is significant in the theoretical point of contribution that it proposed factors affecting the intention to use LBS in a multi-faceted perspective, proved the proposed research model empirically, brought new insights on LBS, and broadens understanding of the intention to use and actual use of LBS. Also, the empirical results of the customization of LBS affecting the user's intention to use the LBS suggest that the provision of customized LBS services based on the usage data analysis through utilizing technologies such as artificial intelligence can enhance the user's intention to use. In a practical point of view, the results of this study are expected to help LBS providers to develop a competitive strategy for responding to LBS users effectively and lead to the LBS market grows. We expect that there will be differences in using LBSs depending on some factors such as types of LBS, whether it is free of charge or not, privacy policies related to LBS, the levels of reliability related application and technology, the frequency of use, etc. Therefore, if we can make comparative studies with those factors, it will contribute to the development of the research areas of LBS. We hope this study can inspire many researchers and initiate many great researches in LBS fields.

This research is about shared living facilities for the solitary elderly in Gyeonggi province (so called "Carnation House"), which was opened after 2013. These facilities aim to help solving the social problems of the growing number of the solitary elderly. The research was conducted from April 2014 to October 2014 by using observation, measurement, photography, and interview methods. This research reviewed floor plan, area, accessibility, visual openness, and furniture and equipments. The results are as follows: First, considering the need for rest area and the protection of privacy, livingroom should at least be equipped with a variable wall or have a separate room. Secondly, for the kitchen plan, considering the fact that large number of people move simultaneously, kitchen entrance should be widened or LDK type is preferable. Thirdly, the bathroom entrance should be widened to at least 800mm and should have barrier free design. Fourthly, porch entrance should be planned to secure enough space and shoe cabinets for multiple users. Fifthly, to allow the users to enjoy outside view, the windows of living spaces should be placed no higher than 800mm from the floor level. Finally, for the location of the facility, people prefer the location be at the center of the village or near home. In addition, location with easy accessibility for the elderly is advisable. Therefore, establishing local guidelines for shared living facilities for the solitary elderly is advisable. When establishing local guidelines, local characters, culture and usage patterns should be considered.

Recently, for the advancement of embedded technology about mobile device, a new kind of service, mash-up is appeared. It is service or application combining multimedia content making tool or device and web-GIS(geographic information system) service in the mobile environment. This service can be ease to use for casual user and can apply in various ways. So, It is served in web 2.0 environment actively. But, in the mashup service, because generated multimedia contents linked with web map are new type of multimedia contents which include user's migration routes in the space such as GPS coordinates. Thus, there are no protection ways for intellectual property created by GIS web-map service users and user's privacy. In this paper, we proposed a location and user information hiding scheme for GIS web-map service. This scheme embeds location and user information into a picture that is taken by camera module on the mobile phone. It is not only protecting way for user's privacy but is also tracing way against illegal photographer who is peeping person through hidden camera. And than, we also realized proposed scheme on the mobile smart phone. For minimizing margin of error about location coordinate value against contents manipulating attacks, GPS information is embedded into chrominance signal of contents considering weight of each digit about binary type of GPS coordinate value. And for tracing illegal photographer, user information such as serial number of mobile phone, phone number and photographing date is embedded into frequency spectrum of contents luminance signal. In the experimental results, we confirmed that the error of extracted information against various image processing attacks is within reliable tolerance. And after file format translation attack, we extracted embedded information from the attacked contents without no damage. Using similarity between extracted one and original templete, we also extracted whole information from damaged chrominance signal of contents by various image processing attacks.

In this paper, we describe certificate policy and characteristics in cooperation condition with Cooperative intelligent transport system and autonomous driving vehicle. Among the authentication functions of the vehicle, there is a pseudonym authentication function. This pseudonymity is provided for the purpose of protecting the privacy of information that identifies the vehicle driver, passenger or vehicle. Therefore, the purpose of the pseudonym certificate is to be used for reporting on BSM authentication or misbehavior. However, this pseudonym certificate is used in the OBE of the vehicle and does not have a cryptographic key. In this paper, we consider a method for managing a pseudonym authentication function, which is a key feature of the pseudonym certificate, such as location privacy protection, pseudonym function, disposition of linkage value or CRL, request shuffling processing by registry, butterfly key processing, The authentication policy and its characteristics are examined in detail. In connection with the management of pseudonymes of the vehicle, the attacker must record the BSM transmission and trace the driver or vehicle. In this respect, the results of this study are contributing.

In recent years, the rapid increases in video distribution and viewing over the Internet have increased the risk of personal information exposure. In this paper, a method is proposed to robustly identify areas in images where a person's privacy is compromised and simultaneously blocking the object area by blurring it while rapidly tracking it using a prediction algorithm. With this method, the target object area is accurately identified using artificial neural network-based learning. The detected object area is then tracked using a location prediction algorithm and is continuously blocked by blurring it. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively blocks private areas in images by blurring them, while at the same time tracking the target objects about 2.5% more accurately than another existing method. The proposed blocking method is expected to be useful in many applications, such as protection of personal information, video security, object tracking, etc.

In this paper, we designed the RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) Emergency Medical Information System(REMIS). This REMIS offers the emergency patient's medical information using RFID and HL7(Health Level 7) to an emergency medical technician. In emergency situation as like coma, if the communication, from the patient's current location to the hospital, is possible, REMIS offer the medical information of the patient through REMIS server to an emergency medical technician. In the state of communication blocked, REMIS can offer the patient identification and the emergency information through RFID tag, which the patient wear, to an emergency medical technician. When this system was designed, the protection of the patient's medical information and their privacy was considered, and the HL7 was used to be compatible with another medical systems. Therefore, in this paper, REMIS was designed that it is always possible to offer the emergency patient's information to an emergency medical technician regardless of any communication status and to improve the emergency rescue process, effectively.

유비쿼터스는 현재의 제한된 컴퓨팅 환경을 떠나서 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않는 자유로운 컴퓨팅 환경을 제공함으로서 각광받고 있다. 그 중 언제어디서나 정보를 주고받을 수 있으며 가격과 성능 면에서 단연 뛰어난 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)의 중요성은 점점 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 그러나, 이와 같은 우수성에도 불구하고, 정보 유출의 위험성을 내포하고 있으며, 개인의 위치 추적이나, 비 접근 권한자의 위장행세 등의 사용자 프라이버시 보호에 대한 많은 문제점들을 수반한다. 현재까지 이와 관련된 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 그 중, Ohkubo의 해시함수를 이용한 프로토콜은 프라이버시 보호 측면에서 위치추적 공격(location tracking), 전방위보안성(forward security)과 같은 문제들에 대한 해결책을 제시하고 있으나, 해시함수를 태그에 직접 구현하는 것은 현재까지는 불가능한 상태이다. 또한, Martin Feldhofer는 대칭키 암호 알고리즘인 AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)를 태그에 구현을 함으로서 암호학적인 강도를 높였으나, 위치추적 공격에 대한 문제정과 물리적 공격에 대한 가정을 하지 않은 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존연구에서의 문제점들을 보완하고자 현실적으로 구현 가능한 AES를 사용하고, 위치추적 공격, 비권한자 접근(unauthorized access) 공격과 물리적 공격으로부터 안전하며 전방위보안성을 제공하는 기법을 제안한다.

Recently, the research on database outsourcing has been actively done with the popularity of cloud computing. However, because users' data may contain sensitive personal information, such as health, financial and location information, the data encryption methods have attracted much interest. Existing data encryption schemes process a query without decrypting the encrypted databases in order to support user privacy protection. On the other hand, to efficiently handle the large amount of data in cloud computing, it is necessary to study the distributed index structure. However, existing index structure and query processing algorithms have a limitation that they only consider single-column query processing. In this paper, we propose a grid-based multi column indexing scheme and an encrypted query processing algorithm. In order to support multi-column query processing, the multi-dimensional index keys are generated by using a space decomposition method, i.e. grid index. To support encrypted query processing over encrypted data, we adopt the Hilbert curve when generating a index key. Finally, we prove that the proposed scheme is more efficient than existing scheme for processing the exact and range query.

In recent mobile environments, query processing costs have been rapidly increasing as users request large amounts of queries. In addition, the server's performance is increasing for many users to handle high-capacity queries, but the workload is increasing continuously. To solve these problems, we use the wireless broadcasting environment. However, in a existing wireless broadcasting environment, servers have a problem sending all the objects they manage to their clients. Therefore, we propose a new R-Bcast combining the advantages of demand-based and wireless broadcasting. R-Bcast is a technique that protects query information and reduces query processing time. Experiments have proved that R-Bcast is superior to conventional techniques.
