As the standard of living and leisure time of contemporary people is increasing, people who have interest not only in physical health activities but also in mental health activities are increasing. Also, people who have interest in sports activities, which include entertaining factors are gradually increasing. SporTainment is a compound of the words 'Sports' and 'Entertainment' and it possesses the meaning of doing sports and entertainment simultaneously. In addition, in the immersive media technology field, researches, which increase the feeling of existence and immersion through the stimulation of the consumer's emotional feedback technology, have been actively conducted. Such, emotional feedback technologies are based on fun and excitement and are activities, in which learning effects are included such as games, education, national defense etc. In addition, the emotional feedback technology is expanding in applied services, which maximize the feeling of existence and immersion of the consumers by adding reality effects in the virtual environment. In this research, the presence of the user was increased by developing a realistic bike simulation for the use of SporTainment, which combine emotional effects and reappearance devices in the bike simulation.

This study aimed to comprehensively assess the demographic characteristics, health behaviors, subjective health status, health-related restriction of life, and quality of life of male and female elderly aged 65 years older using data from the 2013-2015 Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS). The results showed that compared to the male elderly, the female elderly was less educated, did not have a spouse or had less household income, had poorer health behaviors, and had lower quality of life caused by restrictions in life. The female elderly had significantly lower quality of life than that of the male elderly. Various factors were found to affect quality of life in both sexes. The presence of spouse and BMI did not affect quality of life of men but did affect the quality of life of women. On the other hand, smoking affected the quality of life of men but not of women. Based on these results, more in-depth studies are needed on the female elderly, who have been reported to have lower health-related quality of life, and sex-specific services and programs that could more effectively improve the quality of life among the elderly should also be developed.

In this paper, the prototype of haptic-based NVE (networked virtual environment) QoE (quality of experience) is proposed. The proposed framework plays a role of providing users with realistic feeling by managing the system and network resources efficiently under time-varying networks and heterogeneous systems. Therefore, first IoPH (importance of presence for haptic interaction) is defined to quantitate the sense of real that the users feel now. Then we define the haptic-based NVE components required to satisfy the haptic interaction QoE requirements. Finally, QoE adaptation scheme is suggested, which adapts the haptic-based NVE components to current network and system constraints for better haptic interaction quality.

This study has been conducted among the visitors to the Gangneung Danoje Festival 2014 and its purpose is to identify the presence of any correlation between festival attractiveness/visitor satisfaction and the festival factors comprised of interaction, story and telling with storytelling considered as a means that induces communications among visitors as a new method of festival expression. The study has found that the storytelling in traditional cultural festival has statistically significant effect on both festival attractiveness and visitor satisfaction. In particular, when it comes to festival attractiveness, diversity of programs, transportation and accessibility, service quality and lodging have shown to have statistically significant effect while affecting the satisfaction among visitors. Therefore, consistent efforts should be made to develop quality cultural contents through interactions and storytelling between a traditional cultural festival and visitors.

In this paper, we propose a method of retrieving opinioned tweets in Twitter, which is the one of the popular Social Network Services and shares diverse opinions among various users. In typical opinion retrieval systems, they may consider the presence of sentiment phrases (subjectivity) as the important factor even if the subjective phrases are not related to a given query or speaker. To alleviate these problems, we utilized the syntactic structure of a sentence to identify the relationships between 1) subjectivity-query and 2) subjectivity-speaker and 3) the syntactic role of subjectivity. Besides, our learning-to-rank approach is trained to retrieve opinioned tweets based on query-relevance, textual features, user information, and Twitter-specific features. Experimental results on real world data show that our proposed method can achieve better performance than several baseline methods in terms of precision and nDCG.

Robot systems have applied to manufacturing or industrial field for reducing the need for human presence in dangerous and/or repetitive tasks. However, robot applications are transformed from industrial field to human life in recent tendency Nowadays, final goal of robot is to make a intelligent robot that can understand what human say and learn by itself and have internal emotion. For example Home service robots are able to provice functions such as security, housework, entertainment, education and secretary To provide various functions, home robots need to recognize human`s requirement and environment, and it is indispensable to use artificial intelligence technology for implementation of home robots. In this paper, implemented robot system takes data from several sensors and fuses the data to recognize environment information. Also, it can select a proper behavior for environment using soft computing method. Each behavior is composed with intuitive motion and sound in order to let human realize robot behavior well.

The adoption of artificial intelligence technology is continuously increasing in online stores. However, there have been no empirical studies that examine whether each of the artificial intelligence functions affects consumers' continuance intent to shop online. This study aims to understand the effect of the main function of artificial intelligence on the continuance intention of online store via empirical analysis. In particular, we focus on how artificial intelligence as a resource affects the heterogeneity of online stores in terms of resource-based views. We also analyzed the mediating effect of online store's image (product and service) between artificial intelligence (AI) functions and continuance intention. The results suggest that the presence of AI function on online stores positively influence the continuance intention from the resource-based perspective. Furthermore, it was found that AI technology positively affects the image of a product and service. We also found that there was a difference in the way of influencing the intention to use online stores by AI functions.

Incalculable damage will be incurred if the national infrastructure that provides services using GNSS signals is affected by jamming signals. To prevent this, a nationwide GNSS jamming monitoring network is necessary to detect the occurrence of a jamming signal, determine the type, and properly localize the jammer position. In this paper, 2-D images for live GNSS signals were generated to verify the environment of the jamming signals through the presence and type of GNSS jamming signals at K-City, which are the test beds for self-driving vehicles, and Incheon International Airport. The analysis was also conducted to detect the occurrence of the jamming signals, determine the type, and measure the jamming signal strength. As a result, a CWI type of jamming signal was detected in L2 band at K-City and in L5 band at Incheon International Airport.

To provide high-quality services, national public institutions and companies have provided information and materials over the internet network. However, a risk of malware infection between transmission and reception of data leads to exposure to various security threats. For this reason, national institutions have proceeded with projects for network separation since 2008, and data linkage has been made using network connection storage through network separation technologies, along with physical network separation. However, the network connection storage has caused waste of resources and problems with data management due to the presence of the same data in internal network storage and external network storage. In this regard, this study proposes a method to connect internal and external network data using NAS storage as a way to overcome the limitations of physical network separation, and attempts to verify the priority of items for the optimization of network separation by means of AHP techniques.

WMN is one of efficient solutions to provide Internet services for users by forming wireless backbone networks with wireless links. The dominant technology for WMNs is the IEEE 802.11, which provides multi-channel and multi-rate capabilities. One of important issues in WMNs is the network capacity and it is essential to design a multi-channel protocol that leverages the network capacity. However, when wireless links that use different data rates operate on the common channel, the performance of high-rate links is severely degraded by the presence of the low-rate links, which is often referred as performance anomaly. In this paper, we propose a Tree-based Channel Assignment (TreeCA) protocol to mitigate the performance anomaly problem by distributing data rates over multiple channels. TreeCA performs channel assignments based on the tree WMN architecture to accommodate the Internet traffics efficiently. Parent nodes on the tree distribute their child nodes over multiple channels so that the performance anomaly is reduced. Through simulations, we observed that the proposed TreeCA outperforms the existing multi-channel protocols for WMNs.
