As the lifestyle of people today is evolving, the desire for convenient but nutritious food to replace home-cooked meals is increasing. As the market for Home Meal Replacement (HMR) has already reached 17 hundred billion Won, many studies on HMR selection attributes have been conducted, using traditional Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). However, it was found that traditional IPA had some limitations. Therefore, the study used both traditional and the Revised IPA to examine the selection attributes of HMR sold at large discount store to compare outcomes. The results of the study show that by using the Revised IPA, many attributes differed from those found by the traditional IPA. Consequently, the study revealed aspects that have both linear and nonlinear relationships with customer satisfaction. Implications of this study could provide the foundation of business strategies for HMR manufacturers.

Low-end IoT devices do not have enough computation and memory resources for DNN learning and inference. Integer quantization of real-type neural network models can reduce model size, hardware computational burden, and power consumption. This paper describes the design and implementation of a web-based quantization platform for CNN deep learning accelerator chips. In the web service platform, we implemented visualization of the model through a convenient UI, analysis of each step of inference, and detailed editing of the model. Additionally, a data augmentation function and a management function of files that store models and inference intermediate results are provided. The implemented functions were verified using three YOLO models.

This paper is about the development of kiosks that provide four types of service. Simple UI and educational videos solve the complexity of existing kiosks and provide an intuitive and convenient screen to users. In addition, the AR function, which is a three-dimensional form, shows directions and store representative images. After storing user information in the DB, a learning model is generated using user-based KNN collaborative filtering to provide a recommendation menu. As a result, it is possible to increase user convenience through kiosks using metaverse and AI recommendation services. It is also expected to solve digital alienation of social classes who have difficulty using kiosks.

The purpose of this study is to develop the measurement of security needs satisfaction from users of electronic security system, to verify its validity and reliability, and by applying them, to examine the effects between the communities using this system. In 2008, the users of electronic security system in big cities in Seoul(Yong-San, Jong-Lo) and Gyung-Gi Do(Su-Won) for their convenience stores, jewelry shops, communication services, banks, government and public offices, etc. were arranged for a population and 262 of them were used for the final analysis by purposive sampling. This study yields following results. First, the validity of security need satisfaction from users of electronic security system is very high, which means the explanatory adequacy of environmental security need is the highest. Second, the reliability of security need satisfaction from users of electronic security system is very high, in which the reliability value(Cronbach's $\alpha$) of internal consistency is over .765. Third, the security need of electronic security system has the most effects on the group of bank workers. That is, through a close cooperative system between the bank and the service of electronic security system, the more keeping satisfied the environmental, bodily, physical security needs are, the less the in security of this group has. Informational security need has the most effects on convenient store group. It means the service companies of electronic security system offer more services at dawn time and make or supply all sorts of visual information system, which reduces insecurity of the convenient store group.

Recently, researches for the integration and standardization of clinical data in the Western medicine and Korean medicine is in progress. If an integration of similar clinical data as well as heterogeneous clinical data is possible based on one standardization, we can able to derive implicit medical knowledge from integrated clinical data. In this paper, we implemented Korean clinical database based on internationally known CDISC standardization to efficiently store Korean clinical data and constructed E-CRF system for convenient data input in clinical sites. Furthermore, we showed example of an integration of Korean clinical data from 4 clinical sites. The results of our study will help to establish the foundation for the extraction of implicit medical knowledge from integrated clinical data. Also, our results may support efficient management through data integration, prevention of repetitive or unnecessary clinical trials, facilitation of collaborative study and convenient research through the distribution of refined clinical data.

This study was performed to determine lunch eating patterns and compare dietary habits among university students according to major lunch place. The subjects were 800 students from a university in Gyeonggi-do, and information was obtained by self-administered questionnaire. Data were compared among groups according to major lunch place (school cafeteria n=236, off-campus private restaurant n=73, on-campus private food shop n=134, delivery food n=119, convenient store n=238). Compared to male students, more female students ate at convenient stores (37.8% vs. 17.5%, respectively) while less ate at school cafeterias as the major lunch place. The on-campus private food shop group (19.1 year) were younger than the other groups (20.4~20.8 year). Dietary habits were significantly better in the school cafeteria group (65.55 out of 100) than in the other groups (60.33~62.66) (P<0.01). However, the satisfaction with school cafeterias was significantly lower than those with the other lunch places (P<0.01), and the most frequently answered reason for dissatisfaction was "not taste good" (51.0%). Despite having the lowest satisfaction among the five lunch places, eating at school cafeterias may be associated with better dietary habits in university students. Therefore, this study is able to provide basis for encouraging school cafeteria utilization for university students and for strategy development to improve university students' lunches.

In this paper, we propose a smart umbrella stand based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that helps people to pack their umbrellas more easily. The proposed smart umbrella stand offers three functions. First, it receives weather information, and a hidden umbrella handle will automatically become visible when it rains, making it easier to grab. Second, the smart umbrella stand is equipped with a heated air system, allowing it to effectively dry umbrellas that have become wet due to rain. This makes it more convenient for users to dry and store their rain-soaked umbrellas. Third, the smart umbrella stand enables users to monitor its current status, track weather conditions, and monitor the water level in the rain gutter through a dedicated application. The proposed smart umbrella stand aims to bring convenience to daily life by making it more convenient to carry an umbrella on rainy days or days with a high probability of rain.
