In this paper we present a simple and convenient user interface for the elderly with an open source system platform used in smartphones. This design provides a simplified interface, a large font, a big button and a simple user interface starter for easy operation, and offers the elderly a method for those who are more accustomed to dial phones. Our design includes an improved selective reply text message function, medication reminders, return appointments and a calendar with a list of the simple chores of daily living, and an easy to operate browser for sharing photos with relatives and friends.

In this paper, we propose a stand-alone mobile visual search system based on binary features and bag of visual words framework. The contribution of this paper is two-fold: (1) a visual word-dependent substring extraction method is proposed; (2) a modified version of the local NBNN scoring method is proposed in the context of image retrieval. The proposed system improves retrieval accuracy by 11% compared with a conventional method without increasing the database size.

Studies of digital games bridge the gap from game design and technology to the impact of play, thus, being highly interdisciplinary by nature. The scientific discourse is difficult. Pattern is a key term used with largely varying semantics in mind and, even worse, sometimes without any precise meaning. Patterns are general and somehow abstract phenomena that do not show directly, but occur implicitly by means of their instances. Within knowledge processing in studies of game play and its impact, it is decisive to observe instances and to deduce patterns. By its very nature, this is learning from incomplete information. To avoid speculative guesses, studies of learning necessarily need to be based on precise concepts of what to learn and how to learn. The present paper investigates lucid concepts of patterns and their instances, addresses the crucial problem of learning patterns, and illustrates the deployment of a sound theory in practical studies.

In this paper, we propose a system to superpose information of web services into living space. The system is controlled by natural actions which are gestures and voice in order to simple control apparatus. The system is assembled by three major modules which the sound recognition, the gesture recognition and a projector. We describe the entire process, the implementation and the evaluation of a prototype system, and confirmed an usefulness of proposal system by using a questionnaire.

Visible light communication using LED and high-frame-rate image sensor is one of the critical technologies for intelligent transport systems (ITS). However, current visible light communication system requires complicated and expensive devices, such as high-frame-rate image sensor. To provide high-speed visible light communication with existing simple devices, we propose visible light communication with image sensor of the low-frame-rate and polygon mirror. In our system, the fast-blinking visible light signal is obtained as residual image by low-frame-rate image sensor. We evaluated performance of the proposed system in experiment. The obtained results suggest that the proposed system could achieve data rate of 300 bps; 27 times faster than conventional communication system with image sensor of 11 fps.

Digital watermarking is a process of embedding watermark signal with its host image to prove its authenticity. In this paper, Embedding and extraction process are applied on the higher frequency domain of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Using DWT prior to the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) provides improved imperceptibility and higher robustness against Signal processing attacks. Arnold transformation is used to scramble the watermarking object for security purpose. This approach improves the similarity ratio and PSNR over previous schemas so provides efficient authentication.

A novel aerial imaging system consisting of two roof mirror arrays is proposed. The proposed imaging system is based on heterogeneous imaging, which means that the system forms an aerial real image in a crosswise direction and a virtual image in a lengthwise direction. The aerial image formed by the proposed system is not distorted by Seidel aberrations because the imaging is based on retro reflection. We developed an experimental display system and confirmed an aerial image that can be seen naturally in spite of the aerial image was formed only in a crosswise direction.

Real estates and housing associations have to incorporate modern mobile and internet technologies in their service offerings to stay attractive for clients. While doing so, they must take into account the special needs of their target audience. The elderly is an increasing target group which refuses modern consumer electronics with overwhelming features. Therefore, easy-to-use interaction models based on natural language processing are essential. With IBM's Watson a new area for deep answering systems and semantic understanding of utterances arises. Our paper investigates the Watson approach, combines the used techniques with other artificial intelligence methods and develops an interactive concierge service.

In this study, we propose an algorithm that enables home appliances (air conditioners) and lighting fixtures to estimate real-time occupant metabolic rate based on their heart rate and provide better thermal conditions for occupants in smart home environment. Occupant metabolic rate refers to the heat production of occupants, and smart home appliances can use this data to control environment factors, including temperature and humidity for the optimal indoor climate. We also compared this heart rate-based method with the pre-existing location-based method in test bed to evaluate the effectiveness of both methods in estimating metabolic rate.

Dementia is one of the most serious problems in aging society. Aerobic exercise has good evidence for its prevention. Walking and cycling are popular and practical aerobic exercises. However, elderly people have problems in the walking and cycling, which come from lacks of physical / mental functionalities and unsuitable traffic environment. To provide safe and human-friendly environment for walking / cycling, we have developed virtual reality walking / cycling system. In this paper, a framework, which can easily and rapidly construct large-scale computer graphic data for the systems, was described. As an application, we reported about the trials for the psychophysics experiment on the traffic environment with the framework.
