Recently, much studies for providing mobile users with suitable and useful content services, LBS(Location Based Service) corresponding to the change of users' location, are actively going on. First and foremost, this is basically owing to the progress of location management technologies such as GPS, mobile communication technology and the spread of personal devices like PDA and the cellular phones. Besides, the research scope of LBS has been changed from vehicle tracking and navigation services to intelligent and personalized services considering the changing information of conditions or environment where the users' are located. For example, it inputs the information such as heavy traffic, pollution, and accidents. The query languages which effectively search the stored vehicle and environment information have been studied depending on the increase of the information utilization. However, most of existing moving object query languages are not enough to provide a recommendation service for a user, because they can not be tested and evaluated in real world and did not consider changed environment information. In order to retrieve not only a vehicle location and environment condition but also use them, we suggest a moving object query language for recommendation service and implement a moving object query process system for supporting a query language. It can process a nearest neighbor query for recommendation service which considers various attributes such as a vehicle's location and direction, environment information. It can be applied to location based service application which utilizes the recommended factors based on environmental conditions.

인터넷은 단순한 정보습득을 위한 공간을 넘어 사람들이 모여 교류하는 '소통의 장'으로서 역할을 하고 있다. 최근에는 타인과 끊임없이 대화를 나누고 소통하려는 인간의 기본 욕구를 반영한 서비스인 SNS(Social Network Service)가 전 세계의 주목을 받고 있다. 또한 LBS(Location-Based Service)는 GPS, Wi-Fi를 통한 위치정보를 활용하여 업무생산성 개선 및 다양한 생활 편의를 제공하는 서비스이다. 본 논문에서는 안드로이드 OS를 기반으로 LBS와 SNS를 통합한 어플리케이션을 제안한다. 개인용 모바일 정보기기인 스마트폰을 활용하여, 위치정보에 이용자 정보, SNS를 결합하여 서비스를 고도화 한다. 지인들의 위치를 기반으로 현재 상태, 트윗(Twit)을 통해 정보의 공유 및 활용을 극대화 할 수 있다. 이를 통해 사용자들이 적극적이고 용이하게 온라인 Identity를 표현하는 것을 목적으로 본 시스템을 제안한다.

In Location-Based Service (LBS), a scheme to hide the exact locations of users is required for privacy protection, In this paper, we propose a grid-based cloaking method considering K-anonymity and L-diversity. For this, our method creates a minimum cloaking region by finding L number of buildings (L-diversity) and then finding number of users (K-anonymity). Especially, we use a effective filtering method for generating the minimum cloaking region in a fast way. Finally, we show from a performance analysis that our cloaking method outperforms the existing method, in terms of query processing time based on the size of cloaking regions.

스마트폰의 플랫폼화와 위치 측위 기술 및 관련 지도 DB의 개방은 위치 기반 서비스(LBS, Location Based Service)의 패러다임의 변화를 가져왔다. 위치 측위를 위한 HW의 제공, 위치 측위 API 및 프레임워크 제공, 지도 DB 및 각종 DB의 제공 등에 힘입어 LBS는 본격적인 성장을 맞이하고 있다. 또한 소셜 네트워크 서비스(SNS, Social Network Service), 증강 현실 (AR, Augmented Reality), 게임 등 다른 킬러앱과 연계하여 다양한 서비스를 제공하고 있으며 향후 안전 및 사고 예방 등의 공공적인 측면에서도 다양한 애플리케이션이 등장하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 급격한 패러다임의 변화는 개인정보 보호와 개인의 안전 및 편의성이라는 모순적인 이해관계 속에서 많은 문제점을 동시에 일으키고 있다. 본 고에서는 스마트폰이 가져온 LBS의 패러다임 변화 및 스마트폰 LBS의 기술, 서비스 방향을 정리하고 향후 과제 및 발전 방향에 대해서 살펴본다.

본 논문은 ESL(Electronic Shelf Labels, 전자가격표시기)과 LBS(Location Based Service, 위치 기반 서비스)를 융합하여 개발된 시스템으로 매장 고객에게 어플리케이션을 통해 대형마트에서 이벤트 정보를 제공 혹은 물건 위치를 쉽게 찾아 갈 수 있도록 하고, 관리자는 서버에서 물품의 정보를 관리하거나 각종 서비스를 제공하는 것을 편리하게 만들기 위해 진행되었다. ESL 태그를 아두이노와 LCD를 연결하여 구현하고 지그비(Zigbee)를 이용하여 서버와 통신한다. LBS를 구현하기위하여 ESL TAG에 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy, 저전력블루루스)를 장착하고, 스마트폰은 ESL TAG에서 나오는 BLE 신호의 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication)값을 이용해 어플리케이션에서 사용자의 위치를 측정할 수 있게 한다.

In this paper, we designed a LBS-based smart platform for Lifelog service that can utilize the other's lifelog information. The conventional Lifelog service means that the system records the daily activities of the smart device user so the user can retrieve the early-recorded information later. The proposed Lifelog service platform uses the GPS/UFID location information and the various information extracted from the image as the lifelog data. Further, the proposed Lifelog platform using DB can provide the user with the Lifelog data recorded by the other service user. The system usually provide the other's Lifelog data within the 500m distance from the user and the range of distance can be adjustable. The proposed smart platform based on image recognition for Lifelog can acquire the image from the smart device directly and perform the various image recognition processing to produce the useful image attributes. And it can store the location information, image data, image attributes and the relevant web informations on the database that can be retrieved by the other use's request. The attributes stored and managed in the image information database consist of the followings: Object ID, the image type, the capture time and the image GPS coordinates. The image type attribute has the following values: the mountain, the sea, the street, the front of building, the inside of building and the portrait. The captured image can be classified into the above image type by the pattern matching image processing techniques and the user's direct selection as well. In case of the portrait-attribute, we can choose the multiple sub-attribute values from the shirt, pant, dress and accessory sub-attributes. Managing the Lifelog data in the database, the system can provide the user with the useful additional services like a path finding to the location of the other service user's Lifelog data and information.

Recently, Location Based Service including tracking and way-finding services has been activated rapidly in the ubiquitous computing environment. According as the ubiquitous computing environment is developed, various types of sensor to acquire various data including location of the moving object are used widely, and acquired sensor data becomes abundant. However, the existing location management system based on a single location sensor is difficult to support LBS efficiently in the ubiquitous computing environment. In this paper, therefore, we propose the location management system in the ubiquitous computing environment that can manage the location data and the various sensor data efficiently. In addition, the location management system adopts the core technology for efficiently storing and transferring a large-volume of various data such as location data and for efficiently processing the various requests from a variety of servers and sensors. Especially, our architecture that is presented in this paper can support context-aware services and autonomous services efficiently in the ubiquitous computing environment.

Bicycle users were surpassed a million recently as bicycle riding will be a key element of daily life. As users increase, we can expect that the user is more exposed to the risk of an unexpected accident. Therefore, we need to establish several preventive measures for a safe riding environment. In this paper, we developed mobile application by using the acquired GPS-based location information that provide safety services for the bike riding as a LBS service. In detail, we have been able to provide a bicycle safety navigation service by using the bluetooth transmission and reception method between Android and Arduino-based devices. As a future work, the safety could be improved if we expand various forms of Arduino sensors. As a result, a service developed in this study will be able to converge ahead to connect into several personalized mobile IoT services.

Recently the computing environment has been moved to open architectures that include Web technologies. Web Service is one of import component of the new paradigm. This paper presents a design and implementation of GIS Web Service for mobile devices. As many mobile devices are equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System), it is required to handle the position information more effectively. We have extended the proxy program in the client device to actively send the context information to the server. Based on the context information the server determines the optimal service mode to a particular client. A working example of location?based GIS Web Service is also presented. By using Web Service standards and XML messages we can achieve the maximal interoperability for heterogeneous mobile devices.
