In this paper, we developed mobile robot platform called Ecobot for the application system of friendly environment smart home appliance. Ecobot fulfills the purposes of monitoring of the healthy environment and guidance in the application system of friendly smart environment home appliance, home network formed by Zigbee network. For the healthy environment, the system contains monitoring sensor. Moreover, it continuously keeps the healthy environment by controlling the smart home appliances linkng with Zigbee network. And also using the URG-04LX laser distance sensor, it monitors indoor environment through autonomous moving and collision avoidance.

Recently, there are many home network applications using the convergence between mobile platforms and home network system. As smart phones which are called small PC in the hand becoming popular, the development of home network application beyond the one of cellular phones is required. Android mobile platform of Google includes OS, middleware and primary applications. Also, in addition to smart phones, it can be mounted on various devices such as set-top box and household appliances. In this paper, home network services on smart phones of Android platform are designed and implemented. The services provide real-time monitoring information (temperature, humidity, real-time video) of rooms and appliance control in a house.

As the smartphone-based devices are diffused and developed rapidly, they provide the convenience to the users. The abovementioned sentence technologies are being used not only in the existing sensor and wireless network technology but also in the application services of the diverse fields application services such as smart appliance, smart car, smart health care, etc. and the new fusion paradigm from the industry is presented by undertaking the researches in diverse area by the enterprises and research institutions. However, the smart environment exposes its weaknesses in the mobile terminal area, existing wireless network and IT security area. In addition, due to new and variant ways of attack, not only the critical information are disclosed However also the financial damages occur. This paper proposed the protocol to perform the smartphone-based safe device monitoring and safe communication. The proposed protocol designed the management procedure of registration, identification, communication protocol and device update management protocol and the safety against the attack techniques such as the an-in-the-middle-attack, impersonation attack, credential threat, information leaks and privacy invasion was analyzed. It was observed that the proposed protocol showed the performance improved by approximately 52% in the communication process than the existing system.

Implementing UX design that meets user expectations has become an important variable that determines the prominence of smart home appliances. This study addresses the UX design evaluation issues in mobile application development of smart home appliances. As an experimental research subject, the UX design evaluation contents were set up for the mobile application of , the demand of which is surging recently. The purpose of the research is to explore the significance of the UX design user evaluation method in smart home applications, and to suggest how to achieve the mixing of quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods. The main findings are as follows. First, we found that user evaluation can positively impact the direction of UX design. Secondly, we found that the mixing of 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' methods works complementarily to UX design evaluation. Research implications are as follows. The UX design evaluation process can be performed efficiently as long as we distinguish between the roles of quantitative evaluation and qualitative evaluation. For example, through qualitative evaluation such as 'Honeycomb model', can be identified in terms of 'exploratory', and through qualitative evaluation such as 'in-depth user interview', can be identified in terms of 'assessment' and 'validation'.

Currently, wireless power transmission technology based on magnetic induction was employed in battery charger for smart phone application. The system consists of wireless power transmitter in base station and receiver in smart phone. Size and thickness of receiver was strictly limited in the newest smart phone. In order to achieve high efficiency of a tiny small wireless power receiver module, sub-millimeter thick electromagnetic wave shielding sheet having high permeability and Q was essential component. It was found that magnetic field from transmitter to receiver can be intensified by sufficient shielding cause to minimize leakage magnetic flux by those magnetic properties. This leads to high efficiency of wireless power transmission and protects crucial integrated circuit of main board from electromagnetic noise. The important soft magnetic materials were introduced and summarized for the current small-power wireless power charger and NFC application and mid-power home appliance and high-power automotive application in the near future.
