Recently, human activities have expanded from outdoor spaces to indoor spaces since a lot of complex buildings were constructed over the world. Especially, visitors in a shopping mall would like to receive specific information of interest regarding various shopping-related activities as well as shopping itself. However, when it comes to providing the information, existing guide services have some drawbacks. Firstly, the existing services cannot provide visitors with the information of other stores simply and promptly on the current location. Secondly, the services have difficulties in representation and share of the shopping-related knowledge, and in providing inferred information. Thus, the purpose of this study is to develop a method that allows topological analysis utilizing ontology technique around the current position in such shopping mall in order to provide shopping-related information. For this, the shopping activity ontology model is designed, and based on the ontology model, inferencing rules are defined in order to extract the information of interest efficiently through semantic queries. Also, a geocoding method in indoor spaces is used regarding the current location, and optimal routing analysis, which is one of topological analysis, is applied with the result from the semantic queries. As a result, an Android application is developed for 3D visualization and user interface.

This paper proposes a method of segmenting compound nouns which include unregistered nouns into a correct combination of unit nouns using characteristics of person's names, loanwords, and location names. Korean person's name is generally composed of 3 syllables, only relatively small number of syllables is used as last names, and the second and the third syllables combination is somewhat restrictive. Also many person's names appear with clue words in compound nouns. Most loanwords have one or more syllables which cannot appear in Korean words, or have sequences of syllables different from usual Korean words. Location names are generally used with clue words designating districts in compound nouns. Use of above characteristics to analyze compound nouns not only makes segmentation more accurate, helps natural language systems use semantic categories of those unregistered nouns. Experimental results show that the precision of our method is approximately 98% on average. The precision of human names and loanwords recognition is about 94% and about 92% respectively.

Recently, collecting and analyzing method of users location has been studied due to the development of mobile devices. There is analyzing method using Semantic Location History in order to identify of characteristics and extract pattern and predict trajectory of users. We should extraction of Stay Point in order to use Semantic Location History. The Conventional extraction method of Stay Point is not accuracy of location of Stay Points because it does not specify the GPS log of users. Also, Conventional extraction method of Stay Point cannot distinguish indoors and outdoors. In this paper, we implement extraction method of Stay Point in which specify the GPS log of users and extraction of Stay Point at indoors only. Stay Point(nearSP) specifies the nearest GPS log of users from generated Stay Point by conventional extraction method. And, Stay Point(indoorSP) specifies the GPS log of users that user get into the building. Our experimental results, accuracy of Stay Point is improved, and capacity of output data decrease than Conventional extraction method. Also, we were able to distinguish Stay Point of indoors and outdoors.

With the development of mobile and wireless environments, the Ubiquitous era has com on the base of technologies of Semantic Web and Web Services. To accelerate proliferation of the E-Commerce in the Ubiquitous era, the importance of information search is emphasized more and more and its time to need more intelligent search for product and service which can consider location and other context-aware related information. As a starting point to meet these requirements, we proposed more effective product information search service framework through web services under semantic web environment. Over the wireless internet and we also examined its technical validity with the prototype system, implemented prototype and investigated the technological possibility.

There is a large amount of multimedia data on the web page, and a method of extracting semantic information from low level visual information for accurate retrieval is being studied. However, most of these techniques extract one of information from a single image, so it is difficult to extract semantic information when multiple objects are combined in the image. In this paper, each low-level feature is extracted to extract various objects and backgrounds in an image, and these are divided into predefined backgrounds and objects using SVM. The objects and backgrounds divided in this way are constructed with ontology, infer the semantic information of location and association using inference engine. It's possible to extract the semantic information. We propose this method process the complex and high-level semantic information in image.

Since scene segmentation is becoming a hot topic in the field of autonomous driving and medical image analysis, researchers are actively trying new methods to improve segmentation accuracy. At present, the main issues in image semantic segmentation are intra-class inconsistency and inter-class indistinction. From our analysis, the lack of global information as well as macroscopic discrimination on the object are the two main reasons. In this paper, we propose a Densely connected residual Attention network (DA-Res2Net) which consists of a dense residual network and channel attention guidance module to deal with these problems and improve the accuracy of image segmentation. Specifically, in order to make the extracted features equipped with stronger multi-scale characteristics, a densely connected residual network is proposed as a feature extractor. Furthermore, to improve the representativeness of each channel feature, we design a Channel-Attention-Guide module to make the model focusing on the high-level semantic features and low-level location features simultaneously. Experimental results show that the method achieves significant performance on various datasets. Compared to other state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method reaches the mean IOU accuracy of 83.2% on PASCAL VOC 2012 and 79.7% on Cityscapes dataset, respectively.

As the semantic web receives higher concern with an intensified necessity in these days, the research on the ontology as its core technology has been carried out in various fields. The ontology has been adopted as an alternative to work out lots of problematic issues resulted from the insufficient vocabulary selection rules in folksonomy, widely accepted under Web 2.0. Therefore the importance of research to complementarily consolidate the two disciplines, the folksonomy and the ontology, has been increased. Based on this idea this research proposes a system, which pulls out, using open services, the location information tags from folksonomy-based metadata, ultimately extracts, following location information analyses, spatial relationships among tags, and in turn automatically constructs self-correcting location information domain ontology. The system devised in this study will associate data derived from easily accessible folksonomy with meaningful and technological information from ontology.

This study suggests a method for extending XMDR to integrate and search legacy system. This extension blends MSO(Meta Semantic Ontology) for the management of metadata, ML(Meta Location) for the management of location information, and Topic Map which is the standard language used to represent semantic web. This study refers to it as TMDR(Topic Map MetaData Registry). As an intelligent layer, Topic Map functions like an index. However, if the data frequently changes, the efficiency of Topic Map may drop. To solve this problem, the proposed system represents the relation among metadata, the relation among real data, and the relation between metadata and real data as Topic Map. The represented Topic Map proposes a method to reduce the changing relation among real data caused by the relation among metadata.

Self-driving is a key technology of the fourth industry and can be applied to various places such as cars, drones, cars, and robots. Among them, localiztion is one of the key technologies for implementing autonomous driving as a technology that identifies the location of objects or users using GPS, sensors, and maps. Locilization can be made using GPS or LIDAR, but it is very expensive and heavy equipment must be mounted, and precise location estimation is difficult for places with radio interference such as underground or tunnels. In this paper, to compensate for this, we proposes an image retrieval using attention module and image segmentation maps using color images acquired with low-cost vision cameras as an input.

Developing a personalized system on a user's behalf which is working around the Internet-based marketplace is one of the challenging issues in intelligent e-business, especially mobile commenrce. It has been highly recommended that such a mobile personalized system has to perceive the user's needs a priori by tracking user's current context such as location with activity and then to identify the current needs dynamically and proactively. Automatically and unobtrusively getting user's context is an inevitable feature for the development of autonomous mobile commenrce. However, personalization methodologies and their feasible architectures for context-aware mobile commerce have been so far very rare. Hence, this paper aims to propose a context-aware mobile commerce development methodology by applying agent and semantic web technologies for personalized reminder system, which is one of the mobile commerce support system. We revisited associationism to understand a buyer's need identification process and adopt the process as 'purchase based on association' to implement a personalized reminder system. Based on this approach, we have showed how the agent-based semantic web service system can be used to realize need-aware reminder system. NAMA(Need-Aware Multi-Agent), a prototype system, has been implemented to show the feasibility of the methodology and framework under mobile setting proposed in this paper. NAMA embeds bluetooth-based location tracking module and identify what a user is currently looking at through her/his mobile device such as PDA. Based on these capabilities, NAMA considers the context, user profile with preferences, and information about currently available services, to aware user's current needs and then link her/him to a set of services, which are implemented as web services.
