  • If we use a smartphone to analyze and detect falling, it is a huge advantage that the person with a sensor attached to one's body is free from awareness of difference and limitation of space, unlike attaching sensors on certain fixed areas. In this paper, we suggested effective posture analysis of smartphone users, and fall detecting system. Suggested algorithm enables to detect falling accurately by using the fact that instantaneous change of acceleration sensor is different according to user's posture. Since mobile applications working on smart phones are low in compatibility according to mobile platforms, it is a constraint that new development is needed which is suitable for sensor equipment's characteristics. In this paper, we suggested posture analysis algorithm using smartphones to solve the problems related to user's inconvenience and limitation of development according to sensor equipment's characteristics. Also, we developed fall detection system with the suggested algorithm, using hybrid mobile application which is not limited to platform.

  • This paper presents a novel data transmit method using display units of mobile devices. Mobile devices such as personal-digital-assistants (PDAs) and cellular phones have a display unit. The typical display unit is a liquid-crystal-display (LCD) with an back-light. Since the proposed data transmit method uses the LCD or back-light as a data transmitter, it is a kind of sightable light communication. Tn order to transmit the data, the display unit drived by an application program on the platform of mobile devices. In this paper, detailed data transmit scheme, specific data protocol are presented and discussed. Finally, with the experimental results, usefulness of the proposed data transmit method is verified.

  • Lately mobile handheld devices such as Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and cellular phones are getting more popular for personal web surfing. However, today most mobile handheld devices have relatively poor web browsing capability due to their low performance so their users have to suffer longer communication latency than those of desktop Personal Computers (PCs). In this paper, we propose an effective pre-refresh mechanism for embedded web browser of mobile handheld devices to reduce this problem. The proposed mechanism uses the idle time to pre-refresh the expired web objects in an embedded web browser's cache memory. It increases the utilization of Central Processing Unit (CPU) power and network bandwidth during the idle time and consequently reduces the client's latency and web browsing cost. An experiment was done using a simulator designed by us to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed mechanism. The experiment result demonstrates that it has a good performance to make web surfing faster.

  • This study investigates the usefulness of cellular and 'feature' phones in assisting students with self-motivated study at school and at home. It involves developing educational applications which can be used on these devices which, once developed, would be extended to students. Furthermore, this study seeks to investigate the merits of these mobile applications in assisting learners to study. It is my hope that this study can be used to develop the software to make these applications a reality. This study' ultimate purpose is to contribute to vitalizing and energizing mobile education.

  • This research analyzed the electrical characteristics of an 80 V optimal trench power MOSFET (metal oxide field effect transistor) for mobile applications. The power MOSFET is a fast switching device in fields with low voltage(<100 V) such as mobile application. Moreover, the power MOSFET is a major carrier device that is not minor carrier accumulation when the device is turned off. We performed process and device simulation using TCAD tools such as MEDICI and TSUPREM. The electrical characteristics of the proposed trench gate power MOSFET such as breakdown voltage and on resistance were compared with those of the conventional power MOSFET. Consequently, we obtained breakdown voltage of 100 V and low on resistance of $130m{\Omega}$. The proposed power MOSFET will be used as a switch in batteries of mobile phones and note books.
