The technology convergence of television, communication, and computing devices enables the rich social and entertaining experience through Smart TV in personal living space. The powerful smart TV computing platform allows to provide various user interaction interfaces like IR remote control, web based control, body gesture based control, etc. The presently used smart TV interaction user control methods are not efficient and user-friendly to access different type of media content and services and strongly required advanced way to control and access to the smart TV with easy user interface. This paper propose the optical wireless communication (OWC) based remote controller design for Smart TV using smart device Flashlights. In this approach, the user smart device act as a remote controller with touch based interactive smart device application and transfer the user control interface data to smart TV trough Flashlight using visible light communication method. The smart TV built-in camera follows the optical camera communication (OCC) principle to decode data and control smart TV user access functions according. This proposed method is not harmful as radio frequency (RF) radiation does it on human health and very simple to use as well user does need to any gesture moves to control the smart TV.

스마트TV의 등장으로 공동시청 미디어인 TV에서 개인화된 서비스를 이용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 이메일이나 SNS를 TV에서 이용하기 위한 기존의 로그인 방식은 텍스트 입력에 최적화 되어있지 않은 리모컨으로 여러 개의 텍스트를 입력하는 과정을 거쳐야 하기에 그 절차가 간단하지 않으며 로그인을 위한 상당한 시간의 소비가 불가피하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 TV에서 개인화 서비스를 보다 원활하게 이용할 수 있도록 큐브 리모컨을 통한 인터랙션 방식을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 기존의 복잡한 절차 없이 리모컨을 흔들거나 두드리는 등 간단한 제스쳐 인터랙션에 의한 간소화된 절차만으로도 스마트TV에서 개별 사용자환경을 효과적으로 구성하여 개인화 서비스를 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시했다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

In this paper, the new smart dimming algorithm which is mixed with PWM and PAM control method is proposed for reducing the power consumption of LED TV Backlight. The proposed technique is using the curve characteristics of LED forward voltage and current which is proportionally changing LED forward voltage as changing LED forward current. Therefore, each PWM and PAM control method has different LED forward voltage and current in the same brightness condition. The PWM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by only varying the duty ratio of PWM and constantly sustaining the amplitude of LED forward current and voltage. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PWM control method is relatively high and constant regardless of duty ratio of PWM. On the other hand, the PAM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by directly varying the level of LED forward current. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PAM control method is lowered according to the brightness level. For the above-mentioned reason, the PAM control method has the advantage of reducing the total power consumption of LED TV Backlight at the brightness condition of below 100%, compared with PWM control method. By implementing this characteristic to LED driver circuit with control algorithm in MCU, the power consumption of LED TV Backlight can expect to be reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method, new smart dimming algorithm, CPWAM(=Conditional Pulse Width Amplitude Modulation), has been verified by experimental results.

A conventional advanced control algorithm is proposed in this paper for improved temperature regulation of a TV-glass melting furnace. The TV-Glass melting furnace is a typical MIMO(Multi-Input Multi Output) system which is subject to various thermal disturbances. Because of its complexity, a detailed mathematical model of the furnace is hard to establish. To design a temperature control control system of the furnace, major input-output variables are selected first, and simple FOPDT(First Order Plus Dead Time) models are established based on the physical meaning and experimental process data. Based on the FOPDT models, a multi-loop control system composed of cascade and single loops are designed for effective control of the MIMO system. Practical implementation on the 150 ton/day furnace using the DCS(Distributed Control System) showed that the proposed control technique performs better than manual control.

스마트 폰의 선풍적인 인기에 힘입어 TV 산업에서도 스마트TV가 출현해 시장 영역을 넓히고 있다. 이에 따라 TV 리모컨 또한 새로운 방식의 유저 인터페이스를 지원하는 하나의 스마트 리모컨으로 업그레이드 되고 있으며, 스마트 리모컨을 통한 홈 멀티미디어 디바이스의 통합 제어와 미디어 공유에 대한 여러 가지 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 DLNA 환경 속 스마트 리모컨과 TV 디바이스의 역할에 대해 재 정의하고, 이를 기반으로 DLNA 및 UPnP 디바이스 아키텍처에 제시된 컨트롤 포인트와 디바이스 간 제어 및 미디어 공유 절차에 따라 스마트 리모컨을 통한 TV의 제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 스마트 리모컨을 통한 TV의 제어는, 크게 사용자와 무관한 백그라운드 스레드로 처리될 제어 준비 단계와 사용자의 입력을 통해 실질적인 제어를 수행하는 제어 단계로 나뉘고, 각각의 단계에 해당하는 UPnP 미디어 네트워크 단계에 맞춰 진행된다. 제안된 DLNA 환경 속 TV 제어 방법의 구현을 위해서는 선행적으로 TV OSD 제어를 위한 코드에 연동해 TV 디바이스 서비스 서술자의 확장이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Objective: The aim of this study is to get an optimal mental model by investigating user's natural behavior for controlling smart TV by mid-air gestures and to identify which factor is most important for controlling behavior. Background: A lot of TV companies are trying to find simple controlling method for complex smart TV. Although plenty of gesture studies proposing they could get possible alternatives to resolve this pain-point, however, there is no fitted gesture work for smart TV market. So it is needed to find optimal gestures for it. Method: (1) Eliciting core control scene by in-house study. (2) Observe and analyse 20 users' natural behavior as types of hand-held devices and control scene. We also made taxonomies for gestures. Results: Users' are trying to do more manipulative gestures than symbolic gestures when they try to continuous control. Conclusion: The most natural way to control smart TV on the remote with gestures is give user a mental model grabbing and manipulating virtual objects in the mid-air. Application: The results of this work might help to make gesture interaction guidelines for smart TV.

Two hundred and sixty-six mothers with preschool and primary school children filled out TV diaries for three days around the TV turning-off campaign day initiated by YMCA. TV diaries were designed to record the TV programs watched by family members as well as the focused child's activities every 15 min. 121 families participated in the campaign voluntarily and 145 families served as the control group. The campaign group watched less than the control group even before the campaign day and differed in several family backgrounds primarily due to the difference of family members' ages in both groups. Despite participating in the campaign, 53.9％ of the families among the campaign group watched TV and 35.5％ of the children in these families watched TV on the campaign day. TV watching time measured by the questionnaire was significantly higher than the estimates by diary method. Participating children in the campaign increased in activities such as reading, indoor play, as well as video watching. In the campaign group, TV watching time on the next day of the campaign increased slightly than the day before it. Preschool and primary school children's activities as well as the watched TV programs were analyzed separately for two groups. In addition, total TV on-time and coviewing patterns by the focused child with the family members were analyzed in relation to the child's other TV watching patterns as well as their related variables.

In this paper, we present an algorithm for efficient control of backlight LED in order to reduce the power consumption of LCD TV. In addition, a pragmatic implementation method is presented. In conventional local dimming control, backlight LEDs of LCD TV are divided into $M{\times}N$ blocks. And, the proper luminance for each block is computed according to input image and used for dimming control. But, LED light of each block is diffused and affects the neighboring blocks, so that luminance of each block becomes larger than that of intent. In the proposed algorithm, dimming control values are reduced by the amount of quantity affected by the neighboring blocks using light spread function, resulting in additional reduction of power consumption.

최근 네트워크회선 사용비용의 안정화로 인해 IP방송과 통신장비가 확대 보급되고 있으나, TV, DID와 같은 멀티미디어에는 고가의 네트워크 시스템을 이용한 통합관리 시스템을 사용하고 있지 않다. 제안된 멀티미디어 통합 TCU(terminal control unit)는 Wake-on-Lan을 셋탑박스에 탑재한 후에 기존 네트워크의 IP통신망을 사용하여 TV전원의 On/Off의 상태 확인 및 원격제어, 전원 제어 예약 기능(관제실 소프트웨어 지원), TV채널 변경, 다양한 인터페이스 입출력 AC전원 & Lan포트, RS-232C, IR등을 지원하는 제어기기로 기존에 저가의 제어기기로 사용되던 RF방식과는 다르게 24시간 감시 및 제어할 수 있다. 높은 가격과 확장성이 전무한 기존 제어장비에서 24시간 모니터링 기능과 자동제어 시스템 지원과 저가격인 TCU(Termial Control Unit)의 개발은 폭넓은 사용처를 확보할 것으로 예상된다.
