Pen-based interaction is universally available on smart devices and especially on Tablet PCs. Previous studies compared various input methods like fingers, a mouse or a stylus pen on PCs or on a touchscreen based devices such as smart phones. At the same time, various soft keyboard applications are being developed on application stores of smart devices. However, these previous studies did not suggest which one is a suitable keyboard application for Tablet PCs when users perform a certain interaction as input type. In this study, we compared two types of input methods (finger and pen) and three types of soft keyboard applications (QWERTY, Gesture and Swype) in a Tablet PC using performance measurements (accuracy and input speed) and discussed what types of applications showed better performance with each interaction on tablet PC. From these results, recommendations for the keyboard types depending on the input methods on tablet PCs were developed.

To overcome the drawbacks of conventional LDMOSFETs, we propose RESURF EDMOSFETs which can be adapted in varous circuit applications, be driven without charge pumping circuity and thowe threshold voltage can be adjusted. The devices have the diffused drift region formed by a high tmperature process before the gate oxidaton. After the polysilicon gate electrode formation, a fraction of the drift region around the gate edge is opened for supplemental self-aligned ion implantation to obtain self-aligned drift region. This leads to a shorter gate length and desirable drift region junction contour under the gate edge for minimum specific-on-resistance. In additon, a and maximize the breakdown voltage. Also, by biasing the metal field plate, we can reduce the specific-on-resistance further. The devices are optimized by using the TSUPREM-4 process simulator and the MEDICI device simulator. The optimized devices have the breakdwon voltage and the specific-on-resistance of 101.5V and 1.14m${\Omega}{\cdot}cm^{2}$, respectively for n-channel RESURF EDMOSFET, and 98V and 2.75m.ohm..cm$^{2}$ respectively for p-channel RESURF EDMOSFET. To check the validity of the simulations, we fabricated n-channel EDMOSFETs and confirmed the measured breakdown voltage of 97V and the specific-on-resistance of 1.28m${\Omega}{\cdot}cm^{2}$. These results are superior to those of any other reported power devices for smart power IC applications.

스마트 센싱은 사물인터넷과 관련된 다양한 응용에 있어 핵심적인 역할을 하고 있으며, 그 중요성은 인공지능의 발전과 더불어 점점 증가하고 있다. 그러므로 스마트 센서의 중요성은 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않다고 할 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 스마트 센서 관련 대부분의 연구는 특정 응용 목적, 예를 들면 보안, 에너지 절약, 감시 등에 집중되고 있으며, 미래에 필요할 다양한 유형의 스마트 센서를 효율적으로 구성하는 방법에 관한 연구는 드믄 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 센서의 효율적 구성을 위한 계층구조를 가진 컴포넌트 기반의 스마트 센서 프레임워크가 제안되고, 스마트 홈으로의 응용이 설계, 구현된다. 제안된 방법은 가까운 미래에 등장할 다양한 유형의 스마트 센서를, 제안된 소프트웨어 프레임워크 상에서 필요한 컴포넌트의 설계 및 개발을 통해 구성 가능하다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 또한 계층 구조를 가지고 있으므로 내부 혹은 외부 계층의 삽입을 통해 스마트 센서의 구성을 확대시킬 수도 있으며, 특히 외부 장치 계층과의 연결을 통해 사물인터넷 응용 서비스의 설계 시, 내부 혹은 외부 모듈별 독립적인 설계가 가능하다는 장점을 가진다. 제안된 방법을 사용하여 소규모 스마트 홈 시스템이 설계 구현되었으며, 외부의 서버와 연결되어 다수의 스마트 홈을 수용, 관리할 수 있는 홈 클라우드까지 설계 구현되었다. 각 계층의 컴포넌트들을 개발, 추가함으로써, 스마트 카, 스마트 빌딩, 스마트 팩토리 등, 그 응용의 폭을 효율적으로 확대할 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we describe the development of a platform-based SoC of a 32-bit smart card. The smart card uses a 32-bit microprocessor for high performance and two cryptographic processors for high security. It supports both contact and contactless interfaces, which comply with ISO/IEC 7816 and 14496 Type B. It has a Java Card OS to support multiple applications. We modeled smart card readers with a foreign language interface for efficient verification of the smart card SoC. The SoC was implemented using 0.25 ${\mu}m$ technology. To reduce the power consumption of the smart card SoC, we applied power optimization techniques, including clock gating. Experimental results show that the power consumption of the RSA and ECC cryptographic processors can be reduced by 32% and 62%, respectively, without increasing the area.

Wireless smart sensors, which have become popular for monitoring applications, are an attractive option for implementing structural control systems, due to their onboard sensing, processing, and communication capabilities. However, wireless smart sensors pose inherent challenges for control, including delays from communication, acquisition hardware, and processing time. Previous research in wireless control, which focused on semi-active systems, has found that sampling rate along with time delays can significantly impact control performance. However, because semi-active systems are guaranteed stable, these issues are typically neglected in the control design. This work achieves active control with smart sensors in an experimental setting. Because active systems are not inherently stable, all the elements of the control loop must be addressed, including data acquisition hardware, processing performance, and control design at slow sampling rates. The sensing hardware is shown to have a significant impact on the control design and performance. Ultimately, the smart sensor active control system achieves comparable performance to the traditional tethered system.

In this paper, we will propose the new method that estimates the sensing ability of HH smart sensor. We have developed a new signal processing method that can distinguish among different materials relatively. The HH smart sensor was developed for recognition of materials. We made the HH smart sensor in our experiment. Then, we estimated the ability to recognize objects according to acceleration value. We estimated the sensing ability of HH smart sensor with the $R_{SAI}$ method. Experiments and analysis were executed to estimate the ability to recognize objects according to acceleration value changing. Dynamic characteristics of HH smart sensor were evaluated relatively through a new $R_{SAI}$ method that uses the power spectrum density. Applications of this method are for finding abnormal conditions of objects (auto-manufacturing), feeling of objects (medical product), robotics, safety diagnosis of structure, etc.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the user's attitude and usage of smart banking application in terms of user's benefits and personalization. While the prior researches on mobile banking adoption focus on the characteristics of service itself, this paper intends to investigate the smart banking application in terms of user's benefits, which are personal value consumers attach to the product or service attributes. Based on prior studies functional benefits, social benefits, experiential benefits, and personalization are identified as affecting factors of the user's attitude and usage of smart banking application. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, all benefit factors(functional benefit, experimental benefit, social benefit) and personalization were found to be significantly related to the user's attitude. Users' attitude on smart banking was found to be significantly related to the real usage as well. This paper has value in that it investigates the attitude and usage of smart banking in terms of benefits.

This paper presents how users and operators of smart work centers think about benefits from and obstacles to smart work centers. First, this paper reviewed the previous literature to summarize benefits and obstacles. Then, in-depth interviews with users and operators were conducted to identify the current issues in smart work centers. Finally, a survey method was used to collect opinions of more users and managers and the co-orientation model was employed to analyze diverse patterns. This study found that users and operators mostly agree with the benefits from the smart work centers. However, they expressed various forms of disagreement over obstacles and ways to overcome the obstacles.
