Ubiquitous computing technology provides anytime and anywhere accessibility to information, ubiquitous computing is adapted in the various field to increase efficiency of work. After looking into the trend of ubiquitous computing, case studies of information service using mobile service and RFID system in library were investigated in this paper. Library information service are providing retrieval of library OPAC and verifications of circulation and return date using mobile internet technology. In addition, various notice services using short me sage service(SMS) of mobile are available. Considering growing mobile service and RFID system advancement of related technology, more information service utilizing mobile service and RFID system should be developed in near future.

As RFID technology has been developed rapidly, its technical potential has it be widely used in many industrial fields. Particularly, in the physical distribution industry, the introduction of RFID has enormously contributed to effectively monitoring locations and information of products in real-time. Also, a significant decline in tag prices and RFID related technical competitiveness enabled each tag to be managed much more minutely by attaching it to an item, not a pallet nor a container. However, if a very large volume of tag data are continuously flowed into a RFID middleware with limited hardware resources, its entire data processing time may become considerably longer. Therefore, specific technologies are in great demand to handle and further to reduce the load of the middleware. In this paper, we proposed a mobile agent-based software module to efficiently reduce the load of the middleware by pre-processing a lot of tag data while items are in transit. Simulation results show that using the proposed software module considerably enhances the speed of processing tag data than otherwise. This behavior increases the tag recognition rate in a certain time limit and improves reliability of RFID middlewares.

As ubiquitous computing is evolving, RFID/USN technology is largely applied to various fields. Although there has been much research on the improvement of educational environment using RFID/USN technology, there has been little research on the learning improvement using it. So, in this paper, we used RFID/USN technology to find out the location and situation of students for Chinese situation learning system. We developed a mobile RFID middleware for Chinese situation learning system reflecting Chinese characteristics compared with English on PDA. In USN environment, we designed a USN system, which gets the situation information through a sensor network with sensors and sends them for helping learners study in situation learning. We took a pilot test to a small group for the analysis of the system.

현재 RFID 네트워크의 구조적 기준이 되는 EPC 네트워크는 HTTP/SOAP 통신 프로토콜과 HTML/XML을 이용하여 서비스를 제공한다. 반면 모바일 RFID 네트워크에서는 휴대 단말기의 특성에 따라 WAP방식 및 HTTP방식으로 서비스가 제공되고 있지만 단말기의 제약으로 인해 다양한 서비스 이용이 불가능 하다. 이와 같은 차이점으로 인해, 같은 RFID 네트워크 임에도 달구하고 논리적으로 두 개의 네트워크로 구분되며 서비스의 상호연동이 불가능 하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 EPC 네트워크 구성을 따르며 모바일 RFID 네트워크의 구조변경없이 두 네트워크 간의 서비스 연동을 위한 구성 요소인 Application Server(AS)와 Mobile RFID Application Level Gateway(mRFID-ALG)를 제시한다.

최근에 정부는 IT839 전략을 발표하여 IT산업의 새로운 서비스 도입과 신규 수요 창출에 역량을 집중하고 있으며, 신규 서비스로서 RFID/USN도입을 강력히 추진[1][2]하고 있다. 또한 최근에 RFID/USN 활성화를 위한 새로운 시도의 일환으로 핸드폰에 RFID리더기능을 접목시킨 모바일 RFID 구조를 제안[3]하여 기존의 RFID리더기가 가지는 시공간 제약을 완화함으로서 더욱 다양한 서비스를 지원할 수 있는 초석을 세우고 모바일 RFID포럼을 설립하여 다양한 서비스모델들을 검토중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 모바일 RFID개념을 한단계 더 진화시켜 진정한 유비쿼터스 정보처리를 가능하게 해주는 모바일 USN을 제안한다. 모바일 USN은 RFID 태그를 진화시킨 USN노드와 RFID 리더 내장형 휴대폰(줄여서 RFID폰)을 개선한 USN기능 내장형 휴대폰(줄여서 USN폰)으로 구성된다. 본 논문에서는 또한 USN노드와 USN폰 사이에서 정보전달시의 소비에너지에 대하여 분석해보고 USN노드와 USN폰의 유지보수 비용을 대폭 개선하는 USN노드-USN폰간의 에너지 절감형 이벤트 전송방법을 제안한다.

RFID enabled credit cards are becoming increasingly popular as contactless credit cards. We envision a future where RFID credit cards will be used for online shopping. RFID system has tremendous potential to render electronic payments more secure than normal credit cards. The word RFID enabled credit cards may bring in mixed passion, enthusiasm and perhaps even rage! This is partly paranoia and partly reality. The reality is that an intruder can read RFID cards without the user even noticing it. This brings in a zone of discomfort and leads to paranoia. Certain interactivity should exist to bring back this comfort to the user. This paper tries to make an effort in that direction. In this paper we propose mobile phone based architecture for secured electronic payments using RFID credit cards.

In many industries, the accurate and quick checking of goods in storage is of great importance. Most today's inventory checking is based on bar code scanning, but the relative position between a bar code and an optical scanner should be maintained in close distance and proper angle for the successful scanning. This requirement makes it difficult to fully automate the inventory information/control systems. The use of RFID technology can be a solution for overcoming this problem. The mobile robot presented in this paper is equipped with an RFID tag scanning system, that automates the otherwise manual or semi-automatic inventory checking process. We designed the robot system in a quite practical approach, and the developed system is close to the commercialization stage. In our experiments, the robot could collect information of goods stacked on shelves autonomously without any failure and maintain corresponding database while it navigated predefined paths between the shelves using vision.

In this paper, Correct problem in dead reckoning system and proposed about position error revision techniques of mobile robot to use RFID tag for position awareness. With the dead reckoning system, as the accumulation of error are unavoidable because of accumulation of informations as the time passage, so it is impossible to get correct information about posture, including torrent direction, movement distance, etc. As one of compensation method, the suggested method is that after selecting special area (corridor), compensate absolute location information by arranging two line of RFID tag along two side of corridor. Through this suggested method, it could be used when robot wants to move in limited areas.

This paper presents method of depriving the relationship between static passive RFID tag and mobile robot In the field of tag-range. We use probabilistic sensor model of RFID reader by experiments. And we proposed estimation techniques by using direction of identification and relative-distance from the sensor model. Corresponding to distribution of identification, we can correct estimated tag position in relative coordinate. Simulation and Experimental Results show that the proposed method can provide good performance and thus be used fer mobile-robot localization.
