In this paper, we propose a novel positioning system for indoor navigation which helps a user navigate easily to desired destinations in an unfamiliar indoor environment using his mobile phone. The system requires only the user's mobile phone with its basic equipped sensors such as a camera and a compass. The system tracks user's positions and orientations using a vision-based approach that utilizes $360^{\circ}$ panoramic images captured in the environment. To improve the robustness of the vision-based method, we exploit a digital compass that is widely installed on modern mobile phones. This hybrid solution outperforms existing mobile phone positioning methods by reducing the error of position estimation to around 0.7 meters. In addition, to enable the proposed system working independently on mobile phone without the requirement of additional hardware or external infrastructure, we employ a modified version of a fast and robust feature matching scheme using Histogrammed Intensity Patch. The experiments show that the proposed positioning system achieves good performance while running on a mobile phone with a responding time of around 1 second.

This study is about user satisfaction of the Junior College Library based on its characteristics of space composition. For this, we studied characteristics of space composition targeting the libraries in colleges in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. First, in case of study of characteristics of space composition for books and library data, student satisfaction for traditional and normal library areas was high. It means that the service based on library areas should start from normal library areas as well as there is a change about space as the type of data in libraries change to electric data and multimedia. Second, If we look at the space for a reader and a user, satisfaction for a normal reading room was high. we can also see that satisfaction for a computer room and a multimedia reading room was not higher but still high. Also, the reason why satisfaction for a multimedia reading room that provides various activities was high was that the complex of a library space is needed to provide users with various activities. Third, in case of space for programme function and meeting, satisfaction for the room of video information and the group study room was high. we can see that user satisfaction for the space got high basically when a user is satisfied with the proper information technology based on interaction Fourth, as a result of variance analysis of 3 spaces of Junior College Library and the services, the size of the space of service does not influence user satisfaction directly. Even the space is small, if it decorates variously like with a lighting for a user, a window seat to meet the nature of users and has specific factors such as space reservation using internet, user satisfaction is high. If we summarise the result of this study, to make user satisfaction for speace in a Junior College Library higher, not just we need to try to make it extend as a educational, a cultural place but we also need to accept the student's requirement that the space also needs to be extend as a complex cultural space.

Identifying user requirements efficiently and reflecting them on the existing system is very important in a rapidly changing web and mobile environments. This study proposes the strategies to refining requirements and to prioritizing those refined requirements for changing of web and mobile application based on user requirements (e.g. mobile application comments, Q&A, reported information as discomfort factors). In order to refining the user requirements, those requirements are grouped by using the advancement of the software business of the Forum of standardization and the existing configuration-based programs. Then, we mapped them onto the PIECES framework to identifying whether the refined requirements are correctly reflected to the system in a way of valid and pure. To determine the priority of refined requirements, first, relative weights are given to software structure, requirements and categories of PIECES. Second, integration points on each requirement are counted to obtain the relative value of partial and overall score of a set of software structural requirements. In order to verifying the possibility and proving the effectiveness of proposing technique in this study, survey was conducted on changing requirements of mobile application which have been serviced at S University by targeting 15 people of work-related stakeholders.

The advancement of information technology and the popularization of Internet has explosively increased the amount of multimedia contents. Therefore, the requirement of multimedia recommendation to satisfy a user's needs increases fastly. Up to now, CF is used to recommend general items and multimedia contents. However, general CF doesn't reflect visual characteristics of image contents so that it can't be adaptable to image recommendation. Besides, it has limitations in new item recommendation, the sparsity problem, and dynamic change of user preference. In this paper, we present new image recommendation method FBCF (Feature Based Collaborative Filtering) to resolve such problems. FBCF builds new user profile by clustering visual features in terms of user preference, and reflects user's current preference to recommendation by using preference feedback. Experimental result using real mobile images demonstrate that FBCF outperforms conventional CF by 400% in terms of recommendation ratio.

In a network environment, when a user requests a server's service, he/she must pass an examination of user authentication. Through this process, the server can determine if the user can use the provided services and the exact access rights of this user in these services. In these authentication schemes, the security of private information became an important issue. For this reason, many suggestions have been made in order to protect the privacy of users and smart cards have been widely used for authentication systems providing anonymity of users recently. An remote user authentication system using smart cards is a very practical solution to validate the eligibility of a user and provide secure communication. However, there are no studies in attribute-based authentication schemes using smart cards so far. In this paper, we propose a novel user authentication scheme using smart cards based on attributes. The major merits include : (1) the proposed scheme achieves the low-computation requirement for smart cards; (2) user only needs to register once and can use permitted various services according to attributes; (3) the proposed scheme guarantees perfect anonymity to remote server.

The concept of Smart home is receiving a huge attention as a future living environment because of its advantages for elderly and disabled to maintain their quality of life. Smart home is a place equipped with integration of technology and services and closely intertwined with occupant's lifestyle. Therefore it is critical to consider the user's actual needs for ensuring satisfaction. However despite growing researches on user values for smart home, there have been few studies clearly categorizing smart home service and stating user values depending on characteristics of service. Thus, the aim of this research is to classify smart home services on user's perspective, and reveal user values for each smart home services. Through the in-depth literature review, we elicited technology-related user values and service-related user values, and state classification for smart home service. Also the relationship between user values and each smart home services were revealed. The results of this research should help to reflect user's actual needs for designing smart home services.

The number of applications of small embedded systems such as PDAs, electronic note books, etc. based on Kinux, have increased. Due to the monolithic characteristic of Linux kernel, it is not suitable to satisfy the various kinds of embedded application requirement. To assist the shortcoming of monolithic kernel, we implement uJFFS 113th file system as an application program process which runs in user space. This solution consists of a file system and a flash device driver, and makes Linux kernel smaller by separating the file system from the kernel. uJFFS consists of ujffs_fs that plays a part of file system and ujffs_drv that controls a flash device. Which provides the same user interface as Linux does. A Device driver for the physical device is implemented in user pace, which prevents kernel failures from file system errors. So uJFFS can increase stability of the system.

The wide-spread use of the broadband Internet service makes the cloud computing-based gaming service possible. A game program is executed on a cloud node and its live image is fed into a remote user's display device via video streaming. The user's input is immediately transmitted and applied to the game. The minimization of the time to process remote user's input and transmit the live image back to the user and thus satisfying the requirement of instant responsiveness for gaming makes it possible. However, the cost to build its servers can be very expensive to provide high quality 3D games because a general purpose graphics system that cloud nodes are likely to have for the service supports a single 3D application at a time. Thus, the server must have a technology of 'realtime multiple rendering' to execute multiple 3D games simultaneously. This paper proposes a new architecture of 2-tier servers of clouds nodes of which one group executes multiple games and the other produces game's live images. It also performs a few experimentations to prove the feasibility of the new architecture.
