WPS(Wearable Personal Station) for next generation PC can define as a core terminal of 'Ubiquitous Computing' that include information processing and network function and overcome spatial limitation in acquisition of new information. As a way to acquire significant dynamic gesture data of user from haptic devices, traditional gesture recognizer based on desktop-PC using wire communication module has several restrictions such as conditionality on space, complexity between transmission mediums(cable elements), limitation of motion and incommodiousness on use. Accordingly, in this paper, in order to overcome these problems, we implement hand gesture recognition system using fuzzy algorithm and neural network for Post PC(the embedded-ubiquitous environment using blue-tooth module and WPS). Also, we propose most efficient and reasonable hand gesture recognition interface for Post PC through evaluation and analysis of performance about each gesture recognition system. The proposed gesture recognition system consists of three modules: 1) gesture input module that processes motion of dynamic hand to input data 2) Relational Database Management System(hereafter, RDBMS) module to segment significant gestures from input data and 3) 2 each different recognition modulo: fuzzy max-min and neural network recognition module to recognize significant gesture of continuous / dynamic gestures. Experimental result shows the average recognition rate of 98.8% in fuzzy min-nin module and 96.7% in neural network recognition module about significantly dynamic gestures.

Recently, the research for the mobile computing such as PDA, Palm PC and wearable computing related technologies is widely under development, specially for the input device. Among the mobile input methods are speech recognition, handwriting recognition and cording type. However these systems have the problems of the data input appraratus like input speed and recognition rate. This paper presents the Glove-based input device which could solve the system's data input problem. By the experimental results suggest the method of proposional input method that utilize the hand's movement is appropriate for the effective mobile input devices.

This paper describes design of a real-time, wearable reflectance pulse oximetry which is based Wireless Sensor Network. For the purpose of continuously monitoring vital signs of a human, wearable reflectance pulse oximetry is built into a wrist type that can be obtained $SpO_2$ value of patient unobtrusively. This designed $SpO_2$ module is based on a low-power 8 bit ATmega128L microcontroller operating in 3V. Low power operating $SpO_2$ module was integrated to wireless sensor node for user's health monitoring. This paper is focused on the successful integration of all these components into wearable reflectance pulse oximetry and evaluates its ability to measure patient' $SpO_2$ value. Information from this sensor was wirelessly transmitted to a base-station for storage and display purposes.

Customized medical care and services timely providing effective prevention and treatment by collecting and using individuals' biomedical data are recently possible and utilized for users' health care. They are developed as the real-time health care services and information is provided to individuals by using smart phones, PC, tablet, etc. Interactive communication is supported by informing managers of analysis data and results, through collected data. It is therefore the time for constructing health care. This study attempts to prepare for patent applications of technical development at this time, by analyzing the tendency of smart wearable health care technologies, including biological signal-based health care devices and real-time health care system. Patents regarding smart wearable health care technologies were reported to have the relatively higher concentration of research development. Korea focuses on patent activities for real-time health care systems across the intervals of analysis, while U.S and European countries actively make efforts for patent activities regarding health care devices Japan conduct patent activities across health care devices and systems, based on bio-technologies. Korea has recently dominated the market of patents for bio-technologies-based health care devices and real-time health care devices and also appears to secure patents for the technologies and the market, so entry barriers to the market of smart wearable health care technologies are determined to be higher in Korea. It is important to establish the portfolios of patents, by securing patent rights for the figures of products, manufacturing methods and other related technical systems, if technologies are planned to be commercialized.

Recently, as microcomputers and sensors have been miniaturized due to dropdown of their market rates, this lead to a favorable environment for implementing the Internet of Things. Smart clothing refers to a system which can be wearable or portable, and allows people to communicate or conduct sensing. Applying the Internet of things, the role of the server computer is to receive and process data obtained from the sensor. An ordinary PC can act as a server but during the implementation of IoT, a PC has limited application due to a large size and the inconvenient portability. This study proposes a model that allows a variety of functions while implementation with the server from the sensing using the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. If we apply this proposed model, everyone can easily and inexpensively experience mobile IoT system.
