As Internet of Things devices become pervasive, services improve to better assess the context and to alert other users to deal with emergencies. Such services use Internet of Things devices to detect the context around the user and promptly notify public institutions, hospitals or other parental users in emergencies. Most of these systems analyze an event when the value of the device is unchanged for a period of time or if it detects an abnormal value. However, just monitoring sensor values makes it difficult to accurately understand the context surrounding a user. Also if the device is inactive, it can not identify the context or provide services again. However, understanding the user requirements, services provided through other devices, information sent to other users lets, appropriate actions be taken. This paper, proposes a device search method and system based on a context-aware model that includes user demands. The proposed system analyzes the user's context and demands by using data collected from the internet of things devices. If user devices are inactive, they can recognize other devices by searching for other devices and providing services to users again. Through the proposed method, the user-centric services are provided. This method also analyzes and responds to requirements in various emergencies.

This paper presents a dialogue interface using the dialogue management system as a method for controlling home appliances in Home Network Services. In order to realize this type of dialogue interface, we first investigated the user requirements for Home Network Services by analyzing the dialogues entered by users. Based on the analysis, we were able to extract 15 user intentions and 22 semantic components. In our study, example dialogues were collected from WOZ (Wizard-of-OZ) environment to implement a reasoning model for generating meaningful responses for example-based dialogue modeling technique. An overview of the Home Network Control System using proposed dialogue interface will be presented. Lastly, we will show that the Dialogue Management System trained with our collected dialogues behaves properly to achieve its task of controlling Home Network appliances by going through the steps of natural language understanding, response reasoning, response generation.

The recent spread of smart devices has led to creating a variety of services based on the smart device, and the needs for the user-centric services that fit the individual users according to their situations and characteristics are increasing. However, current services can not fulfil the individual requirement of individual user, because these services are intended for unspecified individual. This paper, as a key technology of automatic user-centric service mash-up considering the situation of individual user, investigated the similarity comparison method between the Open API parameters by calculating the amount of mutual information of the parameters extracted from the Open API documents.

In the age of ubiquitous computing, computer systems will be seamlessly integrated into our everyday life, providing services and information to us in an anywhere, anytime fashion. This ubiquitous computing can be used for developing a ubiquitous learning (U-learning). In this paper, we present a framework for U-school in which ubiquitous computing technologies are applied to advance the existing ERSS (Korea's Educational Resources Sharing System). Our framework applies mobile, sensor, and context-aware technologies to the existing ERSS. This framework presents a user-centric learning environment, using user-centric scenario. The U-school with context-aware services therefore can lead to the just-in-time learning or learner-led learning based on dynamic contexts acquired from learners, teachers and computing entities.

Lately, influence of information rises and interest about satisfaction estimation of information providing service is risin. According to rapid change in information environment, information-providing service is being changed in various form, in which center development is made in relation to the effort for customer satisfaction intended to enhance user's satisfaction level through providing more convenient and higher service centered on information service user rather than information service provider. Organizations providing information service is also changing their service from traditional one centered on service provider to that for user's satisfaction and service quality, and evaluation of information service quality and measurement of user's satisfaction as the result of using information service are regarded important. In this respect, it is needed to measure user's satisfaction level for environmental factors of information service and analyze what kind of influence they have to enhance user's satisfaction level of information service. Also function and efficiency of information offer service are important. Therefore, interest for satisfaction survey to heighten contents satisfaction of information-providing service, service satisfaction, satisfaction of user of system satisfaction is increased. In this paper, we propose a model of the user satisfaction index for information-providing services and present the user satisfaction index is measured to the model. Also we this study suggest qualitative improvements of information-providing service required for change to user-centric information-providing service through measuring user satisfaction index of ITFIND system and schemes to improve information quality

As the online space becomes more active, interest in protecting personal information is increasing. From this point of view, it is important to prevent personal information from being leaked in advance. As a precaution, it is suggested that users change their password periodically to protect their personal information effectively. Currently, various online services provide a request message that prompts users to periodically change their password. These messages are expressed as positive-centric or negative-centric. This message can be seen as a powerful way to trigger users' behavior. In this context, this study suggests that message framing type can be applied to the password change request message, and to investigate the difference between the positive-centric message and the negative-centric message. In addition, this study concluded that the effect of message type may be different depending on the degree of psychological ownership of the individual on the online service. As a result, users with high psychological ownership in online service were more effective when positive-centric message was presented than negative-centric message. On the other hand, users with low psychological ownership in online service were more effective when negative-centric message was presented than positive-centric message.

According to brilliant development of smart devices, many related services are being devised. And, almost every service is designed to provide user-centric services based on personal information. In this situation, to prevent unintentional leakage of personal information is essential. Conventionally, ID and Password system is used for the user authentication. This is a convenient method, but it has a vulnerability that can cause problems due to information leakage. To overcome these problem, many methods related to face recognition is being researched. Through this paper, we investigated the trend of user authentication through biometrics and a representative model for face recognition techniques. One is DeepFace of FaceBook and another is FaceNet of Google. Each model is based on the concept of Deep Learning and Distance Metric Learning, respectively. And also, they are based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. In the future, further research is needed on the equipment configuration requirements for practical applications and ways to provide actual personalized services.

It is necessary to develop a service that meets various environmental requirements so that the Internet of things can be applied to the fourth industry in overall. This paper presents a method for extracting IoT devices information to change the current provider centric service provision environment in order to construct a user centered service provision environment for Web services. Also, it provides users to utilize the appropriate web services through taking advantage of IoT devices information. The existing service provision environment is focused on the method of selecting the service using the provider service information, thus, it is considered necessary for a user-oriented service search method to be in need. In this study, the service list is provided to the user by combining provider information and information extracted from IoT Devices. IoT information collection generates information by separating context information such as information between IoT devices and users and event information between devices through identifiers. In this paper, we propose a development of a user centric service environment by presenting users with a necessary service list through the proposed IoT information.

Traditional web-based services that require users to browse via documents and fill out forms, are difficult to use with mobile devices. Moreover, as the web paradigm assumes active clients, further complications are introduced in cases where the server is the active entity, instead of the client. This paper presents a Server-Centric Interaction Architecture (SCIA) for wireless applications. The architecture enables servers to initiate communication with clients as well as push secure targeted data to them, in a piecemeal fashion. It further enables the development of highly collaborative wireless services with interactive user interfaces.
