Recently, the wearable computing technology with bio-sensors has been rapidly developed and utilized in various areas such as personal health, care-giving for senior citizens who live alone, and sports activities. In particular, the wearable computing equipment to measure vital signs by means of digital yarns and bio sensors is noticeable. The wearable computing devices help users monitor and manage their health in their daily lives through the customized healthcare service. In this paper, we suggest a system for monitoring and analyzing vital signs utilizing smart healthcare clothing with bio-sensors. Vital signs that can be continuously acquired from the clothing is well-known as unstructured data. The amount of data is huge, and they are perceived as the big data. Vital sings are stored by Hadoop Distributed File System(HDFS), and one can build data warehouse for analyzing them in HDFS. We provide health monitoring system based on vital sings that are acquired by biosensors in smart healthcare clothing. We implemented a big data platform which provides health monitoring service to visualize and monitor clinical information and physical activities performed by the users.

Currently, citizens' expectations and concerns on utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the public sector are widening with the rapid digital transformation. Furthermore the level of global acceptance on the AI and other intelligent digital technologies is augmenting with the needs of non-face-to-face types of public services more than ever due to the unforeseen and unpredictable pandemic, COVID-19. Thus, this study intended to empirically examine what policy directions for the public should be considered to provide well-designed services as well as to promote the evidence-based public policies in terms of Al speaker technology as a non-contact smart city service. Based on the survey of senior citizens' perceptions on AI (AI Speaker technology), this study conducted structure equation modeling analyses to identify whether technology acceptance models on to the varied dependent variables such as actual use, perception, attitude, and brand royalty. The Results of the empirical analyses showed that AI increased the positive level of citizens' perception, attitude and brand royalty on non-contact public services (smart city services) which are becoming more crucial for developing AI oriented government and providing intelligent public services effectively. In addition, theoretical and practical implications are discussed for understanding the changes of public service in the post-corona.

Purposes: This study was to validate the Robotic Smart Work System that can provides better working conditions and high productivity in unstructured environments like bio-industry, based on a tele-operation system for fruit harvesting with low cost 3-D positioning system on the laboratory level. Methods: For the Robotic Smart Work System for fruit harvesting and cultivation management in agriculture, a vision based tele-operating system and 3-D position information are key elements. This study proposed Robotic Smart Farming, an agricultural version of Robotic Smart Work System, and validated a 3-D position information system with a low cost omni camera and a laser marker system in the lab environment in order to get a vision based tele-operating system and 3-D position information. Results: The tasks like harvesting of the fixed target and cultivation management were accomplished even if there was a short time delay (30 ms ~ 100 ms). Although automatic conveyor works requiring accurate timing and positioning yield high productivity, the tele-operation with user's intuition will be more efficient in unstructured environments which require target selection and judgment. Conclusions: This system increased work efficiency and stability by considering ancillary intelligence as well as user's experience and knowhow. In addition, senior and female workers will operate the system easily because it can reduce labor and minimized user fatigue.

Recently, due to the increase of the use of scanned images, the text segmentation techniques, which play critical role to optimize the quality of the scanned images, are required to be updated and advanced. In this study, an algorithm has been developed based on the modification of Gaussian mixture model (GMM) by integrating the calculation of Gaussian detection gradient and the estimation of the number clusters. The experimental results show an efficient method for text segmentation in natural scenes such as storefronts, street signs, scanned journals and newspapers at different size, shape or color of texts in condition of lighting changes and complex background. These indicate that our model algorithm and research approach can address various issues, which are still limitations of other senior algorithms and methods.

Since the development of Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) in 1999, the development speed of GPUs has become much faster than that of CPUs and currently, the computational power of GPUs exceeds CPUs dozens and hundreds times in terms of decimal calculations and costs much less. Owing to recent technological development of hardwares, general-purpose computing and utilization using GPUs are on the rise. Thus, in this paper, we have identified the elements to be considered for the Smart Grid Security. Focusing on a Performance Improvement of the Basic Algorithm for the Stateful Inspection to Detect DDoS Attacks using CUDA. In the program, we compared the search speeds of GPU against CPU while they search for the suffix trees. For the computation, the system constraints and specifications were made identical during the experiment. We were able to understand from the results of the experiment that the problem-solving capability improves when GPU is used. The other finding was that performance of the system had been enhanced when shared memory was used explicitly instead of a global memory as the volume of data became larger.

Korea is ranked as the world's No. 1 country in its aging rate. While the interest and demand for health is rapidly increasing, the health status of the elderly is in the lowest among OECD members. Increased chronic diseases, the burden of medical costs and digital/untact changes of societies after COVID-19 have caused the direction of healthcare to be changed from treatment oriented to health care and prevention oriented, along with increased income levels and a desire for a healthy life. Amid this paradigm of change, the gap in health standards and health inequality for the elderly according to local structure and social conditions affects not only socio-economic but also the quality of life for individual senior citizen. Utilizing prior data of Aging Research Panel Survey, this study aims to compare and analyze health conditions and regional gaps which are significant influences on the satisfaction of the life of the elderly, and to suggest direction of studies for health care to provide solutions for health inequalities. The findings are intended to be a basic data for researching models of the New Normal Smart Healthcare System that bridge the health gap between the elderly and enhance life satisfaction with health care models suitable for regional characteristics in aging society.

본 연구에서는 시니어들의 원활한 미디어 콘텐츠 향유를 위해 스마트 시니어 92명(남: 22, 여: 70)을 대상으로, 스마트폰, PC를 통해 주로 이용하는 미디어 콘텐츠 선호 세부장르와 이용빈도가 높은 세부장르를 기준으로, 타 세부장르와 이용빈도 상관성 분석 또한 진행하였다. 조사결과 웹페이지에서는 기기마다 선호분야가 상이하였지만, 영상콘텐츠의 경우 조사기기와 무관하게 유사한 선호 장르 조사결과를 확인할 수 있었으며, 해당 선호세부장르들은 타 콘텐츠 내에서도 유사 세부장르와 이용 빈도에 높은 연관성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 해당 연구결과는 향후 콘텐츠 개발, 종합포탈 내 세부장르 구성시 활용된다면 시니어들의 미디어 콘텐츠 진입장벽을 낮춤을 물론 질 높은 문화향유 환경개선에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 2014년 스마트카드 데이터를 활용하여 장거리 통행에서 대중교통 의존도가 높은 교통 취약계층의 대중교통 이동성을 평가하는 것에 목적이 있다. 특히, 신체적인 문제나 제도적으로 대중교통수단을 선택하게 되는 교통약자(노인, 청소년)와, 경제적 여건으로 대중교통을 이용하여 통근통행을 하는 저소득층 인구를 중심으로 대중교통 이동성을 평가하였다. 또한, 서울시의 노인, 청소년, 기초생활수급자의 분포와 각 취약계층의 대중교통 이동성 수준을 함께 고려하여 각 취약계층의 대중교통 이동성 취약지를 식별하고, 이를 종합하여 대중교통 이동성 개선 우선 지역을 선정하였다. 분석 결과, 대중교통 이동성이 낮으며, 교통취약계층 인구가 많이 거주하고 있는 15개의 대중교통 우선 개선지역을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 개인의 실제 통행 데이터인 스마트카드 데이터를 이용하여 대중교통의 이동성을 평가한 점과 교통 취약계층의 기본적인 이동성을 위해 대중교통 서비스가 개선되어야할 대중교통 이동성 취약지를 식별하였다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.
