This paper explains the construction of the filesystems which could be utilized in embedded systems as an implementation of ubiquitous computing. It includes the formal architecture of filesystem hierarchy for the DOC (Disk-On-Chip) filesystem and the flash filesystem based on the MTD (Memory Technology Devices). For DOC, the root filesystem and the user filesystem are constructed by the TrueFFS supported by the M-Systems. For MTD filesystem, the root filesystem is implemented in the fast RAM disk, and the user filesystem is implemented in the JFFS2 that supports large capacity. In order to support the GUI filesystem, the porting process of Qt/E is also included in this paper.

According to development of internet and an increase in demand of multimedia contents, the contents industry is being developed. However, they are served same contents in the limited environment(user device environment, network environment) of the present contents industry. And users have difficulties in searching and finding contents since they are served contents they want and contents suitable to diverse context and affection. Therefore, it is necessary to make a system offering contents according to context and affection of users. The study proposes the system to offer contents suitable to context and affection of users whenever and wherever through diverse devices in a ubiquitous environment and designs/implementation a user device framework system that users can be offered contents suitable to their devices.

The devices for the digital home in ubiquitous environment aim at providing multimedia services which are not limited to the time and space. However, it does not ensure the fair use of digital contents and causes damage to the contents providers because of indiscriminate distribution of digital contents and the use of illegal contents. DRM system for solving this problems cannot protect the license stored on digital home devices and manage license by redistribution of contents. In this paper, digital forensic model that enables the misuse detection and previous interception of large-scale illegal distribution for contents and license, and also enables the creation and management of digital evidence for legal countermeasure.

With the development of information communication and network technologies, ubiquitous era that supports various services regardless of places and time has been advancing. The development of such technologies have a great influence on educational environments. As a result, e-learning concepts that learners use learning contents in anywhere and anytime have been proposed. The various learning contents authoring systems that consider the e-learning environments have also been developed. However, since most of the existing authoring systems support only PC environments, they is not suitable for various ubiquitous mobile devices. In this paper, we design and implement a contents authoring system based on learning activities for u-learning environments. Our authoring system significantly improves the efficiency for authoring contents and supports various ubiquitous devices as well as PCs.

Ubiquitous environments make it possible to connect people and objects together seamlessly using networking technology. To realize ubiquitous environments many kinds of devices should follow the exact protocol. To observe protocol and prepare the increasing network traffic are very difficult in the aspects of maintenance, so the new efficient technology is required. Wimedia technology is a prominent ubiquitous technology which can make connection with many devices. This paper propose a energy efficient method for Wimedia bridge implementation which is a part of scale-free uPAN systems. The proposed method can reduce network expenses which is generated by protocol requirements by adding efficient packet encapsulation and bridging technology. It can be proved to be more time and energy efficient by simulations.

USS(Ubiquitous Smart Space) give services, that fit in with customer's goal, by cognizing various situations that happens in a space and cooperating autonomously objects or services in a space. In USS, U-Safety is a system that cognizes more exact situations with multiple sensors in USS, deals with this and take proper actions. When men reason on situations objectively, it is most ideal that image data among collected data with used various sensors in U-Safety. A senter collects a lot of image data from image input devices equipped in various points and work a multiple situation cognition and inference that are based on this. So, senters spend many resources for processing massive data. This paper proposes hierarchical image processing method that does the first situation cognization in image input devices, blocks only points that situation cognization possibility is high among a total image, and transfers to senters. It improves the efficiency of smooth situation cognization by reducing resources that a senter spends on image processing. So, it reduces proportion of image data in U-Safety.

Ubiquitous home is emerging as the future digital home environments that provide various ubiquitous home services like u-Life, u-Health, etc. It is composed of some home appliances and sensors which are connected through wired/wireless network. Ubiquitous home services become aware of user's context with the information gathered from sensors and make home appliances adapt to the current home situation for maximizing user convenience. In these context-aware home environments, it is the one of significant research topics to predict user behaviors in order to proactively control the home environment. In this paper, we propose Multi-Level prediction algorithm for context-aware services in ubiquitous home environment. The algorithm has two phases, prediction and execution. In the first prediction phase, the next location of user is predicted using tree algorithm with information on users, time, location, devices. In the second execution phase, our table matching method decides home appliances to run according to the prediction, device's location, and user requirement. Since usually home appliances operate together rather than separately, our approach introduces the concept of mode service, so that it is possible to control multiple devices as well as a single one. We also devised some scenarios for the conceptual verification and validated our algorithm through simulations.

The development of the Information Technology(IT) has brought enormous change to the human life, not even only to the politics, economy, society, and cultures, but all the way through the people's consciousness and cultural patterns. However, the information society resulted information inequality issues and especially to those disabled people, who have more difficulties on the technology adaptation, the "digital divide" symptom is significantly found. At present the rapid development of IT has gone beyond the level of the information society and it is accelerating the ubiquitous society that will combine people, computers, and all objects into one. And during the time of ubiquitous the "digital divide" will still exist. This research is focused on the digital divide of disabled people that were insufficiently covered in the research of digital divide and ubiquitous. From the empirical study of the effect that the disabled contributes on the service usability in U-City, the factors of background of the digital divide, and the difference of such factors in types of sex, ages, disabled types, and disabled class, and finally how the ubiquitous divide of the disabled affects have been researched. Based on the proposed study model and by analyzing the model by structural equation, following resulted was gained. (1) With the TAM (TAM : Technology Acceptance Model), which is commonly used in the studies of IT devices and services, the digital divide of the disabled cases cannot be identified sufficiently since it is not eligible for Using Intention of U-City Services. (2) In case of the disabled, the mental factors like willingness to overcome the impediment and accessibility like environment to meet the information services and ability to access the services are more effective on Using Intention of U-City Services rather than TAM.
