Recently the POS system market expands rapidly due to the advance of global restaurant franchises into domestic market and increase of speciality restaurants. Especially, demand for low-cost models increases sharply as small and medium-sized retailers and restaurants adopt the POS system actively. According to the current trend of the POS system, in this study, we develop an embedded-type wireless POS system using Zigbee communication, which can be used efficiently in spacious stores without space and/or time limit. The POS system is designed and implemented with three objectives: first, we develop embedded-type POS system cheaper than PC-type POS system, second, we develop a competitive product with high quality and low cost and last, we focus on developing a POS system which can be used in the food service industry.

본 논문에서는 Zigbee와 초음파 센서를 이용한 실내 항법 시스템을 제안한 시스템 Zigbee라는 단거리 무선 통신 망을 이용하여 수집한 후 이동체의 위치를 추정한다. 제안한 시스템에서는 여러 곳에 초음파 센서를 설치하고 이동체까지 측정한 거리는 실내 항법에 적합한 위치 추정 기법을 결정하기 위하여 최소자승법과 직접풀이법의 성능을 모의실험을 통하여 비교하였고, 두 기법 모두 충분히 작은 오차를 가지는 것을 확인하였는데 최소자승법은 선형화 기준점 설정에 따라 발산하는 경우가 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

In recent years, to prevent the increase in accidents at industrial sites, various innovative technologies from the 4th industrial era have been incorporated into the construction administration to promote the advancement of safety management. As a result, smart safety management systems using intelligent monitoring that prevent and manage risks in industrial sites in real time are attracting attention. Smart safety management systems provide users with real-time, remote monitoring of factors such as noise, gas concentration fine dust concentration, building material quality, building tilt, and RFID-based worker access through sensors located everywhere. This paper presents a method for collecting and monitoring various data for smart safety management systems via Zigbee communication using Raspberry Pi.

Electrolytic power capacitors have been widely used in power conversion system such as inverter or UPS because of characteristics of large capacitance, high-voltage and low-cost. The electrolytic capacitor, which is most of the time affected by the aging effect, plays a very important role for the power-electronics system quality and reliability. Therefore it is important to diagnosis monitoring the condition of an electrolytic capacitor in real-time to predict the failure. In this paper, the on-line remote diagnosis monitoring system for UPS DC link electrolytic capacitors using low-cost single-chip zigbee communication modules is developed. To estimate the health status of the capacitor, the equivalent series resistor(ESR) of the component has to be determined. The capacitor ESR is estimated by using RMS computation using BPF modeling of DC link ripple voltage/current. Zigbee-based hardware experimental results show that the proposed remote capacitor diagnosis monitoring system can be applied to UPS successfully.

DC bus electrolytic capacitors are used in variety of equipments as smoothing element of the power converters because it has high capacitance for its size and low price. It is responsible for frequent breakdowns of many static converters and inverter drive systems. Therefore it is important to diagnosis monitoring the condition of an electrolytic capacitor in real-time to predict the failure of power converter. In this paper, the on-line remote diagnosis monitoring system for DC BUS electrolytic capacitors of power converter using low-cost type Zigbee communication modules is developed. To estimate the health status of the capacitor, the equivalent series resistor(ESR) of the component has to be determined. The capacitor ESR is estimated by using RMS computation using AC coupling method of DC link ripple voltage/current. The Zigbee communication-based experimental results show that the proposed remote DC capacitor diagnosis monitoring system can be applied to DC/DC converter and UPS successfully.

Lighting systems in modern society has been developed using a combination of IT technology and LED lighting for the purpose of bringing about changes in human-centered natural lighting and to take advantage of the efficient management and energy saving of LED lighting. In this paper, we propose an LED lighting control system that can control the color temperature and brightness of LED lighting composed of 3000K Warm LEDs and 6000K Cool LEDs by using an Arduino Due and wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth and Zigbee. The Arduino Due allows the color temperature of the lighting to be adjusted in several steps by controlling the duty rate and enables many lights to be controlled using Zigbee communication capable of 1: N multiple communication. By using Bluetooth communication, it is possible to easily control the LED lighting by means of a smartphone application, thereby enhancing the convenience for the user. The wireless communication based LED lighting control system implemented in this study cannot only provide human-centered lighting through its color temperature control from 3067K to 5960K and illumination control, but can also reduce the power consumption and be used as a natural-friendly lighting system.

In this paper, we designed and implemented home gateway system for remote control of home appliances and devices using cellular phone. The system communicate home devices through Zigbee protocol and home server based on Linux operating system communicate cellular phone through external networks. We expect that the system apply various fields as home automations, home network, smart offices, and ubiquious environments.

In this paper, in order to economize energy inside the vertical-type water treatment plant, a chamber-illumination-LED control board, which operates via nature light or human's touches, is proposed. Moreover, this illumination control process is contrived to be wirelessly monitored in real-rime. In addition, Zigbee communication code is programmed to implement the control board's function of wireless data transmission and automatic LED brightness control. The presented control method contrives brightness to be adjusted in real-time by dimming control, which means nature light changes control, so that the interior energy can realize the maximum energy conservation.

Security is critically important for smart grid networks that are usually used for the electric power network and IT environments that are opened to attacks, such as, eavesdropping, replay attacks of abnormal messages, forgery of the messages to name a few. ZigBee has emerged as a strong contender for smart grid networks. ZigBee is used for low data rate and low power wireless network applications. To deploy smart grid networks, the collected information requires protection from an adversary over the network in many cases. The security mechanism should be provided for collecting the information over the network. However, the ZigBee protocol has some security weaknesses. In this paper, these weaknesses are discussed and a method to improve security aspect of the ZigBee protocol is presented along with a comparison of the message complexity of the proposed security protocol with that of the current ZigBee protocol.

As an aged population has increased in Korea, the number of patients with chronic disease has soared up as well. The rapid increase of the chronic disease triggers a need of new paradigm of healthcare. In terms of data transmission of healthcare system, a use of data-transmission protocol based on bluetooth could be dismal in application of healthcare due to its postponement of connection. On the contrary, WPAN is evaluated to be proper to support the application of healthcare in restricted geographic areas. In addition, the bluetooth, a base of the current wireless network, doesn't support a special mechanism to cope up with emergent patients because of its delayed connection among devices. Against this backdrop, this study aims to design an integrated interface of multi bio-sensing and suggest a measuring and monitering system for the patients with chronic illnesses by using Zigbee of WPAN as a sufficient bandwidth is anticipated owing to frequent deliveries of complicated biological signals.
