  • To address the need for autonomous control of remote and distributed mobile systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications are rapidly gaining attention from both academia and industry. M2M communications have recently been deployed in smart grid, home networking, health care, and vehicular networking environments. This paper focuses on M2M communications in the vehicular networking context and investigates areas where M2M principles can improve vehicular networking. Since connected vehicles are essentially a network of machines that are communicating, preferably autonomously, vehicular networks can benefit a lot from M2M communications support. The M2M paradigm enhances vehicular networking by supporting large-scale deployment of devices, cross-platform networking, autonomous monitoring and control, visualization of the system and measurements, and security. We also present some of the challenges that still need to be addressed to fully enable M2M support in the vehicular networking environment. Of these, component standardization and data security management are considered to be the most significant challenges.

  • Children's home accidents are less common than in the past. However, safety accidents continue to occur due to carelessness of the parents. To solve the problem, there are fall prevention screens that can withstand the weight of children, and safety railings that can be adjusted directly to solve the problem. However, these have disadvantages such as stability, convenience, and damage to the landscape. In this paper, we developed an automatic safety accident prevention fence system that can be installed on a window using Arduino, eliminating the disadvantages of previous safety accident prevention products. This system measures the height of a person standing in front of the fence and the distance between the person and the fence with two infrared sensors and moves automatically using a motor. In addition, in accordance with the U-Healthcare society, users can check the temperature, humidity, and fine dust concentration of the external environment through mobile. Each information can be obtained through DHT 11 sensor, fine dust concentration sensor, and Bluetooth connected toArduino. These can help the user's health care.

  • Due to the increasing interest in wellness aroused by the aging population and the pursuing feature of active old age, Korean elderly set importance on long life with their healthy condition. Following the change in the paradigm of the medical delivery system from hospital-oriented, treatment-oriented to personal-centered and self-care, Service design application of Smart Healthcare for the elderly became valuable. Smart Healthcare is a healthcare service provided through the fusion of ICT technologies including mobile/wearable devices, IoT, big data, and information technology, and it is utilized to prevent diseases managing abundant health information and living habits. As a methodology for delivering such Smart Healthcare to the elderly, Service design can be adopted. Therefore, this study would like to present the perquisites of Smart Healthcare design for the elderly through analyzing the results from in-depth interview methods between the elderly and medical staff. As a result of this study, guidelines for Service design application of health vulnerability management for the elderly utilizing smart phones were presented. Therefore, this study presented four prerequisites composed of 'high level of supplementation and ethical decision making', 'improvement of inequality in accessibility and experience', 'resolving problems in policy implementation' and 'user-friendliness' for the Smart Healthcare service design for the elderly. Overall, Service design is expected to play an innovative role in improving the quality of life for the elderly through the process of collecting and delivering information on Smart Healthcare centered on the experience of the elderly.

  • It is a widely known fact that MAC addresses can be collected using Wi-Fi from mobile phones that people carry. However, since collecting and using MAC addresses without individual consent entails many legal problems, it was difficult to actively utilize them. In order to prevent invasion of privacy information due to unintentional exposure of these MAC addresses in recent years, the method of protecting privacy information by exposing a randomly generated virtual MAC address rather than the MAC address of the actual device is applied to all mobile devices. is becoming By exposing a randomly generated virtual MAC address on a device, it becomes impossible to identify and track an individual using the MAC address. However, the fact that various facts can be estimated through MAC Address collection is still valid. By expanding the application of Random MAC Address, the possibility of invasion of privacy information has been completely removed from the MAC address that has been raised in the past, so that it can be used more actively than in the past. In this paper, we propose a method for automatically collecting and analyzing statistical information of hospital visitors using MAC addresses. The collection of hospital visitors using MAC Address is a low cost and relatively accurate method, and the analysis of hospital visitors through steady collection can provide very objective and scientific evidence for hospital operation.

  • Recently researchers have studied mobile physiological sensing device. However, previous works focused on multiple and real time physiological sensing method, instead of aesthetic shape of sensing devices, sensing comfort during monitoring and sensing reliability against the hand motion artifact. In this work, we propose a stone shaped physiological sensing device to monitor the physiological status in a daily life which maximize the aesthetic feeling and sensing comfort and sensing reliability. We proposed stepwise user centered design process for user centric physiological sensing device and evaluated appropriate sensing positions against the hand motion artifacts and pressure from sensors. From the usability test and experiments, we verified the proposed sensing device provides the aesthetic appeals, sensing comfort and sensing reliability. We expect that this work can be applied in the various health care applications in near future.
