Information and Communication Technology is always walking in the forefront of human education. Now, it is the stage where human education has to adapt itself to the developing technologies. In 2016, the Natural Science Foundation suggested that people need to use the human-technology to improve and extend the human learning. This paper provides the concept of Software Defined Class (SDC), where the...
With the emergence of IoT (Internet of Things) smart cities have assumed a crucial role in providing intelligent services in real time to residents and visitors, by integrating services such as smart transportation, smart parking and smart people management. By introducing emergent properties as the system's new behaviors or new structures, the system gains another higher level of intelligence that...
The emerging technologies in IoT unveils various devices for the convenience of users, but comes with the price of streaming and processing a large amount of data for delivering useful and presentable results. Especially the multimedia content can be estimated as the most expensive to compute and distribute in IoT environments due to the data size and complexity of algorithms. This may cause bottlenecks...
The Ocean Observatories Initiative's (OOI) Cabled Array (CA) is delivering high-definition video data since August 2015 via fiber optic cable from a statically positioned SubC 1Cam HD (CAMHD) video camera, deployed at the Mushroom hydrothermal vent in the Axial Seamount Hydrothermal Expeditions (ASHES) Field off the coast of Oregon (lat 45° 56.0186′N, long 130° 00.8185′W, depth 1,542 m). Over 20 TB...
We have developed a screen sharing system to share contents between two persons, and applicable to one-to-one remote teaching. The screen of a PC at one side is shared with the screen of a tablet at the other side through the network to convey instructions from an operator to a collaborator. This system makes it possible to arbitrarily select a part of the screen of the PC at the operator side. The...
DARPA Robotics Challenge left not only technology development in the humanoid field but also increase of the attention on humanoids and the motivation to become a humanoid developer to people. However, the reality is not so simple. To develop a humanoid which has enough DOF and performance, it costs too much and most people in the world cannot own one. In this research, we propose the LoE (League...
Overseas patent lawsuits and infringements of intellectual property rights have been increasing. As the Internet expands and globalization progresses, Japanese companies become more exposed to the risk of lawsuits overseas. Thus, digital forensics technology has been attracting attention. This technology enables the digital data a company manages to be disclosed as proof when a lawsuit is generated...
The research in this paper focused on the development of a general purpose helpdesk system on a multi-touch panel for a collage or an institution. This system is implemented on Multi-touch technology under NUI (Natural User Interface). The developed helpdesk system would be able to help the guest and in-campus persons without any kind of special training, just by touching the surface or with usual...
Benchmarking is nowadays an issue on robotic research platforms, due to the fact that it is not easy to reproduce previous experiments and knowing in detail in which real conditions other algorithms have been performed. Having a web-based tool to configure and execute benchmarks opens the door to new opportunities as the design of virtual tele-laboratories that permit the implementation of new algorithms...
This paper presents a software architecture for audio transmission to network cameras while integrating multiple types of cameras from different manufacturers under a web-based surveillance system. Adding audio streams in surveillance system will enhance the capabilities for remote monitoring. This architecture offers a plug-and-play service of audio transmission to cameras over the network for numerous...
An exertainment support system called Remote Kenken is proposed in this paper. The game resembles hopscotch. Pressure sensors are used to determine the position of the feet of a player and judge the accuracy of the steps during jumping. Victory or defeat is decided by the accuracy of the step and time required. The support system is networked to a server to allow the game to be played remotely by...
The hardware and software realization of a network video monitoring system was presented. A S3C2410 processor was used as the core of the embedded video server. The embedded video capturing software was developed according to V4L(video for linux) specification. The real time JPEG video stream was then transmitted from the server to the remote PC client through a socket connection. The system showed...
We present a viable communication infrastructure and protocols to support the versatile data exchange in a network of smart cameras. Each node in network is an embedded smart camera whose hardware/software architecture was carefully designed to meet the performance requirement while providing sufficient flexibility. We introduce a novel scalable clustering approach, which uses asynchronous event exchange...
How long you are looking for a parking lot? Have you ever forgotten where you parked your car? In this paper is under way to develop an innovative parking management tool relying on E-commerce Solutions to Parking Space Optimization (ESPSO) using Bluetooth technology. ESPSO with Bluetooth technology believed would solve these problems. In this paper ESPSO services are packed in the concept of Product-Service...
Recently, IT technologies are getting focused indifferent traditional industries. The large scaled intelligent video surveillance system is one of them and it integrates large number of digitalized CCTV [1] devices through the Web. However, existing video devices have been deployed for several dozens of years by different vendors as different models with different specifications. To integrate these...
This paper examines principles of creating automated remote access laboratories for laboratory works installation using Internet network. It describes remote access laboratory for Electronic course.
Modern cars are equipped with a variety of sensors, advanced driver assistance systems and user interfaces nowadays. To benefit from these systems and to optimally support the driver in his monitoring and decision making process, efficient human-machine interfaces play an important part. This paper describes the second release of iDriver, an iPad software solution which was developed to navigate and...
Augmented Reality Systems (ARSs) are a logical evolution of virtual reality systems. This new type of system enriches reality by mixing real elements with electronic information. This paper identifies the common tasks performed by ARSs, the underlying software and hardware components that support them and the most common architectures for ARSs. Subsequently, the paper reviews some ARSs, identifying...
The use of mobile and handheld devices is a desirable option for implementation of user interaction with remote services from a distance. Another prominent option to operate a remote application is the use of gestures performed in the air. This paper describes the design and realization of a system to enable mobile devices and gesture recognition tools to have control on a remote movie-player application...
Mass adoption of virtual world platforms for education and training implies efficient management of computational resources. In Second Life Grid and OpenSimulator, commonly used for this purpose, a key resource is the number of servers required to support educational spaces. Educational activities can take place at different altitudes over the same virtual land, for different classes. This way a single...
