Traditional wildlife spotting on Kenyan Safari Game Drives, rooted in visual scouting and sporadic communication, encounters challenges in animal detection efficiency and environmental preservation. In light of rejuvenating post-pandemic tourism and enhancing safari experiences, this study proposes a wildlife spotting and sharing system. The methodology melds wildlife detection and sharing technologies, anchored by three core principles: preserving chance of encounters, regulating information accessibility, and endorsing environmental conservation. The system architecture employs sensors, GPS, and tablet terminals for real-Time data acquisition, animal identification, and information propagation. This approach aims to nurture an engaging, efficient, and eco-conscious wildlife spotting and sharing experience, potentially setting a benchmark for sustainable wildlife tourism in similar wildlife-rich regions.

The rise of diverse digital environments like digital twins and the metaverse emphasizes the importance of telepresence methods for linking users across different spaces. These methods aim to boost communication and services between these spaces. This paper introduces RHS360, a 360-degree robot hand system designed for inter-spatial communication. RHS360 ensures the robot hand aligns precisely with the user in cyberspace, adjusting based on the user's movements in the virtual realm. This enables the robot hand not only to aid communication and gestures but also to convey crucial social cues, enhancing the overall communication experience. Additionally, a user survey was conducted, revealing that observing the robot hand's movements significantly improved understanding their partner's thoughts and fostered a greater sense of intimacy. These findings suggest that the proposed method enhances communication between different spaces.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020, has changed people’s lives, and people are shopping more online. While the analysis of online shopping is becoming increasingly important, regional differences in consumption trends exist. This study proposes a data-driven regional modeling method based on EC purchase data to examine the regional characteristics of online shopping purchase trends. Using the proposed method, we quantified and visualized the degree of similarity of consumption trends among regions and the degree of dispersion of consumption trends within regions using approximately 300,000 lines of online shopping history for 3 years in Japan. As a result, we found that there was some disruption in the early stages of e-commerce for food products by region, while there was little difference in consumption trends among regions for daily necessities. In addition, for consumer durables and clothing, regional differences in consumption trends were confirmed in terms of the number of cars owned per capita, urbanization status, and other regional characteristics.

Crowd flow forecasting is expected to have a wide range of applications such as human resource allocation, guidance design, marketing, disaster mitigation and congestion prediction for avoiding epidemic such as COVID-19. Crowd flow forecasting is challenging because it requires considering both the task of capturing the temporal dependency of data and capturing the spatial dependence. To address these challenges, in this paper, we propose a mechanism for referencing time-series features that are important for forecasting and incorporating graph convolution into Transformer, and we introduce CrowdFlowTransformer(CF-Transformer), a deep learning model based on Google's Transformer framework captures the Spatio-temporal dependency of time series. CF-Transformer captures the time series dependency by extracting important local time series from the past time series, inputting them to the decoder of Transformer, and encoding critical features into the model's input. We adapted CF-Transformer to a real-world crowd flow dataset. We evaluated it by comparing its forecasting accuracy with conventional models, and the results demonstrate that our model outperforms the conventional models.

The manual creation of a ceiling plan consumes many human resources to confirm the current state of existing buildings for the renovation. Especially the positions and the types of existing fixtures are important. In this paper, we propose a synthesis method for a panoramic ceiling image using a video shot by an omnidirectional camera. We utilize a Visual SLAM method to map the positions of omnidirectional video frames including the ceiling. We prioritize the clear depiction of fixture outlines for easier identification of the types of ceiling fixtures. To draw clear fixture outlines in the resulting image, each fixture is referred from the single video frame that captures it most clearly. In the experiment, we collected an omnidirectional video in the indoor area of approximately 273 square meters with multiple rooms. We evaluated the synthesized image for positional accuracy of the ceiling fixtures, and our proposed method demonstrated higher accuracy compared to the baseline.

This study explores the feasibility of dialogue systems with individuality capable of providing continuous and lasting assistance via a multiple device dialogue system. A framework has been devised to manage dialogue history, allowing for the use of a singular identity across various interfaces, including chatbots and virtual avatars. This framework can summarize and save the dialogue history, which can be utilized to generate responses. The impact of dialogue history sharing on users’ interactions with a particular character across various devices was assessed for naturalness, continuity, and reliability. The results indicate that dialogue history sharing can foster more natural and continuous conversations, thereby enhancing the potential for long-term support. This research advances the proposition that a digital agent endowed with a consistent identity across multiple devices can provide personalized and sustained support to users.

This research proposes a communication system called Mobility Link XR that connects physical space and cyberspace with mobility. Mobility Link XR is a system that enables remote users to view panoramic video from a 360-degree camera attached to a mobility vehicle in different space by wearing a VR device, and mobility users to view the remote user as an avatar by wearing an MR device. In this way, sharing space in three dimensions using XR enables a higher level of human communication. In this paper, we apply Mobility Link XR to an electric wheelchair and design two types of scenarios: an assistance mode that reproduces the positional relationship of communication in a conventional wheelchair, and a passenger mode that reproduces the positional relationship inside a vehicle, which is said to be a suitable distance for conversation. We also evaluated the reproducibility of communication in the wheelchair and the effectiveness of communication using the avatar. The results showed that the reproducibility of voice and emotion was highly evaluated and that the side-by-side positional relationship enabled higher quality communication as the avatar was more easily seen and felt present.

In distribution warehouses, various forms of data transformation are underway, such as the conversion of data related to receiving and inventory management. Distribution warehouses have designated areas known as truck berths, where trucks are parked for loading/unloading. While data collection is expected to enhance work efficiency at these truck berths, there is no data regarding the status of work in progress in the unloading space, and no system is in place to analyze the work. Consequently, it is unclear which tasks are problematic and how to enhance efficiency. To address this issue, this paper proposes a framework for analyzing the loading/unloading situation at truck berths with the objective of enhancing berth utilization efficiency and work efficiency. Specifically, we employed a fixed camera for object detection through instance segmentation. This approach enables us to understand the situation of trucks, unloading spaces, and workers. The training data were annotated using a large amount of real-world data, allowing for the measurement and analysis of the efficiency of loading/unloading operations. By calculating the amount of cargo based on the floor space, we assessed the efficiency of unloading operations per truck. Through the analysis of both efficient and inefficient operations, insights for enhancing work efficiency were provided.

This study tackles heading estimation for Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) with smartphones. In dealing with changes in the holding posture of smartphones, it works to consider the relationship between sensor orientation and heading. However, the existing methods lack robustness to various gaits, such as sideways and backward walking. Therefore, we propose a novel method considering various spatiotemporal features of horizontal acceleration with deep learning. The proposed method calculates horizontal acceleration in the global coordinate system from measured acceleration, gravitational acceleration, and rotation vector. Then, it inputs the horizontal acceleration over a certain period into a deep neural network model and predicts the unit vector directed to the mean heading during that period. We created a dataset covering multiple gaits and evaluated the method using four models: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), DualCNN-LSTM, and DualCNN-Transformer. Consequently, we found that the proposed method was more robust to gaits than the existing methods, with the DualCNN-LSTM and DualCNN-Transformer models achieving the highest accuracy.

Emotions are essential for constructing social relationships between humans and interactive systems. Although emotional and empathetic dialogue generation methods have been proposed for dialogue systems, appropriate dialogue involves not only mirroring emotions and always being empathetic but also complex factors such as context. This paper proposes Emotion Regulation Chat (ER-Chat) as an end-to-end dialogue framework for emotion regulation. Emotion regulation is concerned with actions to approach appropriate emotional states. Learning appropriate emotion and intent when responding on the basis of the context of the dialogue enables the generation of more human-like dialogue. We conducted automatic and human evaluations to demonstrate the superiority of ER-Chat over the baseline system. The results show that inclusion of emotion and intent prediction mechanisms enable generation of dialogues with greater fluency, diversity, emotion awareness, and emotion appropriateness, which are greatly preferred by humans.

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), including delivery robots, security robots, and automated wheelchairs, are very promising for improving the quality of life, safety, mobility, and productivity. To deploy such sensor-rich AMRs in real-world society, we have to resolve not only technical challenges but also ethical and societal issues. In addition, since multiple companies are developing different types of AMRs individually, we have to design and develop practical platform to enable safe cooperation and collaboration before using them in the society. Hence, in this letter, we present a viable Nagoya Experimental Site and Testbed named <italic>RobotNEST</italic> developed at Nagoya City, Japan, where we leverage vehicular communications and edge/cloud computing technologies to develop cooperative mobile robots. RobotNEST provides real-world AMRs, experimental fields, learning kits, and infrastructural sensors and communications, including 5G private networks. We also introduce multiple developed applications at RobotNEST that enable safe cooperation for autonomous robots. Finally, we discuss the scalability and limitations of the testbed and conclude with future research directions.

The implementation of wearable airbags to prevent fall injuries depends on accurate pre-impact fall detection and a clear distinction between activities of daily living (ADL) and them. We propose a novel pre-impact fall detection algorithm that is robust against ambiguous falling activities. We present a data-driven approach to estimate the fall risk from acceleration and angular velocity features and use thresholding techniques to robustly detect a fall before impact. In the experiment, we collect simulated fall data from subjects wearing an inertial sensor on their waist. As a result, we succeeded in significantly improving the accuracy of fall detection from 50.00 to 96.88%, the recall from 18.75 to 93.75%, and the specificity 81.25 to 100.00% over the baseline method.

With the introduction of the IoT, communication is becoming more diverse. While IoT is becoming more and more widespread, there are some forms of human communication are being lost. The development of self-propelled robots has progressed, and electric and automated wheelchairs are also being utilized. A caregiver was originally required to operate a wheelchair. However, with the advent of IoT wheelchairs, wheelchairs can be operated by wheelchair users only, increasing convenience. On the other hand, wheelchairs have been used as a kind of communication between caregivers and wheelchair users, and the development of IoT wheelchairs has reduced the opportunities for communication between caregivers and wheelchair users. In this paper, we propose a method to reproduce communication scenarios in the following two scenarios using an IoT wheelchair and present the design and implementation of the prototype created.

Recently, there has been an increasing demand for traffic simulation and congestion prediction for urban planning, especially for infection simulation due to the Covid-19 epidemic. On the other hand, the widespread use of wearable devices has made it possible to collect a large amount of user location history with high accuracy, and it is expected that this data will be used for simulation. However, it is difficult to collect location histories for the entire population of a city, and detailed data that can reproduce trajectories is expensive. In addition, such personal location histories contain private information such as addresses and workplaces, which restricts the use of raw data. This paper proposes Agent2Vec, a mobility modeling model based on unsupervised learning. Using this method, we generate synthetic human flow data without personal information.

Workloads in logistics warehouses have been increasing to meet growing demand, and a labor shortage has become a problem. Utilizing information of laborer locations leads to an increase in productivity. We propose an integrated positioning method using solar-powered Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons. They are easy to install and maintenance-free since they can work without power sources. However, their advertisement interval depends on illuminance and is unstable. Moreover, there are many obstructions in warehouses, such as shelves and products, which cause signal attenuation, interference, and packet losses. We apply particle filters, map matching, and speed prediction with a neural network model to improve robustness and accuracy. We installed 94 beacons in a logistics warehouse. We evaluated the accuracy and found that our method is more accurate than a baseline method.

Dance performance recognition methods have been investigated and shown various applications such as picture-pose evaluation and synchronizing foot timing and direction. However, detailed analysis and feedback are still missing. To provide them, understanding the performance by component level is necessary. Specifically, we formulate it as a dance-figure classification problem using three-dimensional body joints and wearable sensors. Our model is based on long short-term memory (LSTM) and includes the temporal and trajectory-wise structure that uses the trajectory information in a timestep and the temporal masking module. As a result, we achieved 93% accuracy with our proposed method, which is highly overwhelming the baseline result (84.7%) and very close to the accuracy of the experienced dancers (93.6%). We have made the dataset of ballroom dance performance dataset open to researchers to develop the activity recognition field further.

This paper proposes an indoor localization method for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices using an end-to-end LSTM neural network. We focus on a large-scale indoor space where there is a tough environment for wireless indoor localization due to signal instability. Our proposed method adopts end-to-end localization, which means input is a time-series of signal strength and output is the estimated location at the latest time in the input. The neural network in our proposed method consists of fully-connected and LSTM layers. We use a custom-made loss function with 3 error components: MSE, the direction of travel, and the leap of the estimated location. Considering the difficulty of data collection in a short preparation term, the data generated by a simple signal simulation is used in the training phase, before training with a small amount of real data. As a result, the estimation accuracy achieves an average of 1.92 m, using the data collected in GEXPO exhibition in Miraikan, Tokyo. This paper also evaluates the estimation accuracy assuming the troubles in a real operation.

The paper presents a ballroom dance figure classification method with LSTM using video and wearable sensors. Ballroom dance is a popular sport among people regardless of age or sex. However, learning ballroom dance is very difficult for less experienced dancers as it has many complex types of “dance figures”, which is a completed set of footsteps. Therefore, we aim to develop a system to assist dance exercise which gives advice proper to each dance figure characteristic by recognizing dance figures correctly. While the major approach to recognize dance performance is to utilize video, we cannot simply adopt it for ballroom dance because the images of dancers overlap each other. To solve the problem, we propose a hybrid figure recognition method combining video and wearable sensors to enhance its accuracy and robustness. We collect video and wearable sensor data of seven dancers including acceleration, angular velocity, and body parts location change by pose estimation. After that, we preprocess them and put them into an LSTM-based deep learning network. As a result, we confirmed that our approach achieved an F1-score of 0.86 for 13 figure types recognition using the multi-modal sensors with trial-based fivefold cross-validation. We also performed user-based cross-validation, and sliding window algorithms. In addition, we compared the results with our previous method using Random Forest and also evaluated the robustness with occlusions. We found the LSTM-based method worked better than Random Forest with keypoint data. On the other hand, LSTM could not perform well with a sliding window algorithm. We consider the LSTM-based method would work better with a larger dance figure data, which is our next work. In addition, we will investigate how to solve occlusion problems with pose estimation.

Mixed reality (MR) technology has been attracting attention in the automobile industry and logistics industry for work training and remote work support for newcomers. However, work support using MR technology has the problem that displaying too much information obstructs the user’s field of vision and rather interferes with the work. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the user’s intention and provide only the information that the user wants. In addition, the system should be able to detect naturally from the user’s behavior without interrupting the work, which the user explicitly selects. To solve these problems, in this paper, we use the user’s gaze to determine whether to display content by estimating whether or not they are looking at information. Another problem with gaze-based research in MR work support is that it is difficult to determine which space you are looking at in a space where virtual space and real space intersect. In order to overcome this problem, in this research, we grasp the user’s behavior from the movement of the user’s gaze, and we suggest a way to determine make the user interface (UI) the movement of the gaze that is unlikely to occur during that behavior to see if the user is looking at the UI. As a result of the experiment, we were able to promote the movement of gaze that is different from the characteristics of the movement of gaze during work with the proposed UI movement.

Humans observe the behavior of others and exhibit conforming behavior according to the situation. In this study, we propose a method to change the user's walking behavior and attention by changing the ratio of multiple virtual agents in action. We verified whether the attention to a poster on the wall and the walking behavior of a pedestrian changed according to the type and proportion of actions exhibited by multiple agents presented to a particular pedestrian. The results showed that the participant's walking speed and attention to the wall advertisement changed according to the agents' walking behavior, such as deceleration and stopping.

The continuously changing conditions of cities are now technically understandable in the information space through real-world sensing methods and analytical methods such as big data analysis and machine learning. On the other hand, it is currently difficult to estimate and present what the people in the city need (latent demand). This paper aims to solve latent demand by developing Latent Demand Resolver (LD-Resolver), the new latent demand estimation and exchanging system. LD-Resolver has two components, Latent Demand Extractor (LD-Extractor) and Latent Demand Exchanger (LD-Exchanger). LD-Extractor extracts a latent demand from various social conditions using IoT sensors, Web, and SNS. LD-Exchanger has a new structure to exchange a latent demand with an appropriate service supply. Finally, we developed the LD-Resolver and conducted a demonstration experiment at the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden to verify the method. As a result of the two-week experiment, the proposed method can be effectively used in actual facility operations.

Human-robot collaboration and cooperation are critical for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in order to use them in indoor environments, such as offices, hospitals, libraries, schools, factories, and warehouses. Since a long transition period might be required to fully automate such facilities, we have to deploy AMRs while improving safety in the mixed environments of human and mobile robots. In addition, human behaviors in such environments might be difficult to predict. In this paper, we present a Digital Twin for Autonomous Mobile Robots system named DigiMobot to support, manage, monitor, and validate AMRs in indoor environments. First, DigiMobot can simulate human behaviors and robot movements to verify and validate AMRs to improve safety in a virtual world. Secondly, DigiMobot can monitor and manage AMRs in the physical world by collecting sensor data from each robot in real-time. Since DigiMobot enables us to test the robot systems in the virtual world, we can deploy and implement AMRs in each facility without any modifications. To show the feasibility of DigiMobot, we develop a software framework and two different types of autonomous mobile robots. Finally, we conduct real-world experiments in a warehouse located in Saitama, Japan, in which more than 400, 000 items are stored for commercial purposes.

With the rapid development of Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technologies, indoor navigation and localization with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) has been increasingly feasible. IMU-based indoor localization is a low-cost, energy-efficient, and infrastructure-free approach. There are various methods for it, and most of them require gravity estimation (e.g. the projection of angular velocity, the extraction of horizontal acceleration). In particular, when you use a smartphone, it changes the orientation of its IMU frequently, therefore the gravity estimation needs to be more robust to sensor orientation and its noise. In this paper, we propose a gravity estimation method based on deep learning called RGNet (Robust Gravity Estimation Neural Network) that is robust to sensor orientation and noise. We train an LSTM (Long short-term memory)-based neural network that estimates gravity from acceleration and angular velocity. Furthermore, for the problem that it is difficult to prepare the ground truth of gravity directly, we propose a method to train the gravity estimation neural network indirectly using the heading, taking advantage of the fact that the heading can be estimated from the gravity and angular velocity. The evaluation results show that the accuracy of the proposed method outperformed the baseline gravity estimation method (Android API, Low-pass filter, and Extended Kalman filter). We also confirmed that the accuracy of IMU-based localization is affected by the difference in gravity estimation methods.

X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) provides atomic resolution, element sensitive local structure information about the surfaces and interfaces of materials. In the work reported in this paper, a two-dimensional angle resolved time-of-flight (2DARTOF) system is used to perform time-resolved XPD experiments on epitaxial silicene. The two Si 2p peak components from the different atomic sites in the silicene layer allow extraction of the individual XPD patterns. Time-resolved measurements captured small angle shifts in the forward focusing peak, indicating laser-induced changes in the silicene structure. At 10 ns, the XPD patterns appear to relax back to the equilibrium state. This work demonstrates that 2DARTOF systems are well suitable for time-resolved XPD measurements.

A growing trend in smart cities is the use of machine learning techniques to gather city data, formulate learning tasks and models, and use these to develop solutions to city problems. However, although these processes are sufficient for theoretical experiments, they often fail when they meet the reality of city data and processes, which by their very nature are highly distributed, heterogeneous, and exhibit high degrees of spatial and temporal variance. In order to address those problems, we have designed and implemented an integrated development environment called CityFlow that supports developing machine learning applications. With CityFlow, we can develop, deploy, and maintain machine learning applications easily by using an intuitive data flow model. To verify our approach, we conducted two case studies: deploying a road damage detection application to help monitor transport infrastructure and an automatic labeling application in support of a participatory sensing application. These applications show both the generic applicability of our approach, and its ease of use; both critical if we wish to deploy sophisticated ML based applications to smart cities.

Contagious diseases like COVID-19 spread periodically and threaten our lives. Self-protection, such as washing hands, wearing a mask, and staying home, are simple and practical solutions to safeguard against these diseases. Most governments and health departments recommend that people maintain self-protection. Although continuous self-protection effectively prevents the spread of infection, only the intent to self-protect is unsustainable in the long term. In this study, we design, develop, and deploy an application to track users' daily activities semi-automatically and enhance self-protection behavior using mobile sensing and gamified feedback techniques. Currently, more than 324 people have installed the app via AppStore, and 52 users have shared their activity data to our research group.

Sharing and analyzing image data from ubiquitous urban cameras must enable us to understand and predict various contexts of the city. Meanwhile, since such image data always contains privacy data such as people and cars, we cannot easily share and analyze the data through the Internet for the viewpoint of privacy protection. As a result, most of urban image data are only kept/shared within the camera owners, or even discarded to reduce risks of privacy data leakage. To solve the privacy problem and accelerate sharing of urban image data, we propose GANonymizer that automatically detects and removes objects related to privacy from the urban images. GANonymizer combines two neural networks: (1) a network which detects objects related to privacy such as persons and cars in an input image using object detection network and (2) a network that removes the detected objects naturally as though they are not exist originally. Through our experiment of applying GANonymizer to urban video images, we confirmed that GANonymizer partially achieved natural removal of objects related to privacy.

We present a new model for encouraging people to get involved with monitoring and taking part in the life of cities. Cities could be smarter if IoT and people could serve as engaged and pro-active data resources (i.e., crowd sensing). This study tackles two challenges: methods by which the privacy of people who act as sensors/actuators can be guaranteed and methods to create a unified programming model for crowd sensors alongside other IoT functions. To achieve these goals, we introduce a new concept called Lokemon (Location Monster). Each sensing space is characterized as a personified target. Lokemon asks users to imagine themselves to be monsters associated with target spots when achieving sensing tasks. Lokemon is also expressed as a PubSub node so that the data from Lokemon can be easily accessed in the same way as data from IoT is assessed. The article explains the concept of Lokemon and its programming model. We report our evaluation of the effectiveness of Lokemon in a campus experiment that was performed for four weeks.

The spread of mobile phones made it easy to estimate person-flow for corporate marketing, crowd analysis, and countermeasures for disaster and disease. However, due to recent privacy concerns, regulations have been tightened around the world and most smartphone operating systems have increased privacy protection. To solve this, in this study, we propose the person-flow estimation technique with preserving privacy. We use 3D People Counter which can record only the time and direction of passing people, a person’s height, and walking speed, therefore it preserves privacy from the moment of collecting data. To estimate people’s in-out data, we propose four methods and they use some of the sensor data above in different combinations. We compared these methods and the height-based method could estimate about 79% of the sensor data as in-out data. Additionally, we also created a system to interpolate in-out data into person-flow data and to visualize it. By using this method, we believe that it can be used for the purposes described in the beginning.

Indoor location estimation has long been researched to realize location-based services. In this paper, we propose an indoor location estimation method for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices using end-to-end LSTM neural network. We focus on large-scale exhibition where is a tough environment for wireless indoor location estimation due to signal strength instability. To achieve higher accuracy, deep learning based methods are proposed rather than trilateration or fingerprint. Existing deep learning based methods estimate the location from the probabilities using the difference of query signal strength and autoencoder-reconstruction of it. Proposed method adopts end-to-end location estimation, which means the neural network takes a time-series of signal strength and outputs the estimated location at the latest time in the input time-series. We also build a loss function which takes how a person walks into account. Considering the difficulty of data collection within a short preparation term of an exhibition, the data generated by a simple simulation is used in the training phase before training with a small amount of real data. As a result, the estimation accuracy is average of 1.92m, using the data collected in GEXPO exhibition in Miraikan, Tokyo. Proposed method outperforms our previous trilateration based method's 4.51m average.

The objective of the study involved developing a rehabilitation support robot for self-standing-up training of hemiplegic stroke patients to restore normal standing-up motion. Based on our previous analysis of the therapist's guiding movements in standing-up training of patients, a passive-type robot was adopted. However, the link weight of the robot acts as a load at the patient's waist. In this work, we designed a counterbalance mechanism for the robot in order to reduce the load at the patient's waist and determined the optimal parameters for the mechanism. We confirmed by simulation that the specifications of the forces acting on the end-effectors of the robots were satisfied, and thus the proposed counterbalance mechanism was effective.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid activity recognition method for ballroom dance exercise using video and wearable sensor. The purpose of our research is to design a mechanism to support ballroom dance exercise, and this paper reports the first part to design a mechanism is to support ballroom dance exercise, and this paper reports the first outcome to achieve the purpose - recognizing ballroom dance exercise. There are two conceivable ways to recognize dance exercise: videos and wearable sensor. However, each of them has its disadvantages. Using video is a good way to recognize the movement of the body. However, it cannot provide us accurate timing or strength of foot actions because the number of their flames per seconds is too small to recognize the fast movements of dancers. On the other hand, while a wearable sensor is good at recognizing foot timing and strength, it is not good at recognizing the movement of the whole body. Therefore we propose a hybrid recognition method utilizing the merits of both video and wearable sensor. This paper focuses to recognize four different types of steps in Latin American, a kind of ballroom dance. For each step, we record wearable sensing data and videos. As a result, it is found that the accuracy of step recognition is improved by adding wearable sensing data to video data shot from two different angles.

Due to the advance in information and communication technologies, smart cities have become an increasingly appealing vision. One indispensable basis in the research, development and implementation of smart cities is urban sensing technology. Automotive sensing is a novel urban sensing technology that equips sensors to vehicles, like buses, taxi cabs or garbage trucks and utilizes their mobility to help to conduct urban sensing tasks. In this paper, we present Cruisers, an automotive sensing platform for smart cities, based on the following ideas: a) Garbage collecting trucks are used to host sensors, b) Cellular communication network is used to deliver sensed data to servers, and c) Proxy server(s) are adopted to convert the format of sensed data to required ones, such as sampling rate, spatial interval or pub/sub protocol. To validate the feasibility of Cruisers, we implement a real system that consists of 66 customized sensing modulars integrating typical environmental and mobility sensors and deploy them into the garbage collecting trucks at Fujisawa, a medium-sized city in Japan. Performance evaluation is conducted to investigate the performance of Cruisers in terms of scalability, data publishing delay and spatial coverage.

There are many inertial sensor based indoor localization methods for smartphone, for example, SINS and PDR. However, most of the MEMS sensors of smartphones are not precise enough for these methods. We proposed end-to-end walking speed estimation method using deep learning to perform robust walking speed estimation with a low-precision sensor. Currently, we use the input data with a fixed format of 200 samples at 100 Hz. However, the sampling rate and sequence length should be changed appropriately depending on the required accuracy and terminal performance. They are critical factors when using our method for a long time on a terminal because continuous processing of a large amount of data leads to shorter battery life. In this paper, we evaluate the accuracy of the estimated speed by our method when changing the sampling rate and sequence length. As a result, using 5 patterns of combinations, the estimation accuracy hardly changed.

The paper presents a hybrid ballroom dance step type recognition method using video and wearable sensors. Learning ballroom dance is very difficult for less experienced dancers as it has many complex types of steps. Therefore, our purpose is to recognize the various step types to support step learning. While the major approach to recognize dance performance is to utilize video, we cannot simply adopt it for ballroom dance because the dancers’ images overlap each other. To solve the problem, we propose a hybrid step recognition method combining video and wearable sensors for enhancing its accuracy and robustness. We collect seven dancers’ video and wearable sensors data including acceleration, angular velocity, and body parts location change. After that, we pre-process them and extract some feature values to recognize the step types. By adopting Random Forest for recognition, we confirmed that our approach achieved f1-score 0.760 for 13 step types recognition. Finally, we will open our dataset of ballroom dance to HASCA community for further research opportunities.

This paper proposes an accurate estimation method of walking speed using deep learning for smartphone-based Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR). PDR requires to estimate speed and direction of pedestrians accurately using accelerometer and gyroscope. To improve the accuracy of PDR, existing works focused to improve the key factors of speed estimation (i.e., stride and/or step estimation) by adapting deep learning. On the contrary, our research proposes to adapt deep learning more directly to estimate walking speed from sensor data of smartphone. We evaluate the accuracy of proposed method by comparing with conventional PDR method. As a result, we confirmed that proposed method can estimate the speed more accurately.

In this paper, LSTM-based neural network is applied to indoor localization using mobile BLE tag’s signal strength collected by multiple scanners. Stability of signal strength is a critical factor of wireless indoor localization for higher accuracy. While traditional methods like trilateration and fingerprinting suffer from noise and packet loss, deep learning based methods perform well. We focus on large-scale exhibition where wireless signal gets unstable due to many people. Proposed neural network consists of fully connected layers for noise removal and LSTM layers for time-series feature extraction. The network takes the time-series of signal strength as input and outputs the estimated location. In the evaluation, the number of layers is changed to find the optimal structure. As a result, the best configuration achieved the error of 2.44m at 75 percentile for the data of a large-scale exhibition in Tokyo.

Most of the current inertial positioning systems can be categorized as the strapdown algorithm and the step-and-heading approach. However, for the strapdown algorithm using smartphone as a sensor device, the accuracy of the current MEMS based accelerometer are not enough for estimating relative movement. Also, for the step-and-heading approach, robust estimation of step length is always difficult. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end walking speed estimation method using Deep Learning to overcome these problems. By using our method, we can achieve a smartphone PDR with higher accuracy and better robustness to gait type.

Can we inspect the road condition at a low cost? City infrastructures, such as roads are very important for citizens to their city lives. Roads require constant inspection and repair due to deterioration, but it is expensive to do so with manual labor. Meanwhile, there are official city vehicles, especially garbage trucks that run through the entire area of a city every day and have cameras to record their driving. When we use these cameras, we can watch roads conditions anytime, anywhere. In our study, we focus on these cameras and attempt detecting the road damage, such as road marking blur. To achieve our goal, we explore the new system in this paper. This system adopts the object detection approach that is end-to-end learning and based on deep neural networks, which propose the blur region candidate and detect whether the road markings are blurred or not all at once. In our experiment, first, we obtain the drive recorder video from sanitation engineer and then annotate them. After annotation, we trained our models and calculate the mean average precision to evaluate our models. As a result, our model performs on our collected dataset.

We propose a damaged traffic lane detection method ensuring high accuracy in spite of only a few number of supervised data which are labeled traffic lane images. In general, supervised machine learning approach is very powerful for image classification. However, preparing a large amount of supervised data is time-consuming task because labeling damaged or not damaged is usually done manually through visual inspection of images. Thus, lowering the cost of labeling data is a great concern. To this end, we adopt a semi-supervised machine learning approach which learns from both labeled and unlabeled data by constructing graph based on the image similarity. We captured a large amount of the road lane images. Then, we constructed graph structure whose nodes are the road lane images and whose edges are the similarity between the images. In several nodes, we assigned labels which denote "damaged" or "not damaged." Finally we utilized the label propagation, which made it possible to infer the labels of the unlabeled data from the labeled data. These estimation resulted in the accuracy rate over 85% from the supervised data, which accounted for only 1.8% of the total data.

Shape changing robot is an approach towards locomotion on uncertain terrain due to its omni-directional features. However, the current locomotion method for such robots rely on discontinuous rolling. We propose a free form locomotion: an omni directional continuous crawling for deformable robots. This method introduce continuous shifting of contact surface similar to amoeba movement. A Mochibot that has thirty two telescopic legs is developed to verify the proposed locomotion method. Through the experiments, we have confirmed that the robot can track smooth paths: straight, smooth, and hand written curves. We also evaluate errors between desired and measured trajectories of the robot.

We propose in this paper an outdoor positioning system based on Wi-SUN FAN network, the goal of which is to protect the elderly, young children and even pets via estimating their locations in a city. In order to achieve long-term portability and network-side positioning, the system does not directly rely on GPS receiver mounted on terminals but use machine learning for location estimation via the received signal strength indication (RSSI) measurements. In particular, the system consists of Wi-SUN beacons, Wi-SUN base-stations and vehicular devices. A beacon, attached to the one to be positioned, broadcasts wireless signal periodically so that its location can be estimated using machine learning algorithms from the RSSIs measured at multiple base-stations that are densely deployed over a city to construct an ad hoc network. Using the mobility of vehicles that roam over a city routinely, such like garbage collection trucks, buses and taxies. Vehicular devices containing both a Wi-SUN beacon and a GPS are used to collect RSSIs and the corresponding GPS coordinates to train the estimation models. We develop a prototype system consisting of 9 base-stations and deploy it to our university campus to conduct a field experiment to validate the proposed approach. Offline analysis on the data collected from the experiment showed that a RandomForest learner performs best among four selected learning algorithms using the default parameters of Weka 3.8, which achieves a mean absolute error of 35.43m and a root mean squared error of 44.21m, respectively. Evaluation on network performance is also conducted.

Nowadays, humanity generates and contributes to form large and complex datasets, going from documents published on media outlets, posts on social media or location-based information. The generated information tends to be complex, heterogeneous (texts, images, videos, etc.) and is growing at an incredible pace, with much of this data having a strong spatial and temporal focus. This steady increase in the availability of such a volume of information, forces the development of more effective user interfaces that would assist users in efficient visualization, analysis and exploration of the data. This half-day workshop on User Interfaces for Spatial and Temporal Data Analysis (UISTDA) held in conjunction with the IUI2018 conference on March 11th, aimed at sharing the latest progress and developments, current challenges and potential applications for exploiting large amounts of spatial and temporal data. In this paper we provide an overview of the workshop goals together with its main contributions.

近年，様々なセンサを搭載したスマートフォンの発達と普及により，第三者による客観視が困難である「忙しい」や「疲れている」といった人間の内面状態の推定を行う研究が行われている．人間の内面状態を機械に認識させ，内面状態に寄与している因子に関する情報を人々に還元できれば，人間が自身の感情や気分を制御したり，特定の内面状態の獲得や回避といった行動変容へと応用可能である．しかし，人間の内面状態の認識・分析・還元においては，各個人の多様性に適応した動作の実現が課題である．本研究ではスマートフォンのセンサデータを蓄積し，正解データとなる内面状態の注釈をユーザが記録することで，個人の内面状態に寄与している因子を還元するために，因子情報を解析するシステム「MyFactor」を構築した．大学生13名による111日にわたる評価実験を行った結果，被験者全員のデータを用いて学習を行う「統合モデル」と比較して，各ユーザのデータのみを用いて個別に学習した「個人モデル」においては内面状態の推定精度が21%上昇した．また，利用可能なすべてのセンサからのデータを用いて学習した場合よりも，単一センサからのデータのみを用いて学習を行い，最も高精度で分類を行ったモデルを選択した方が高い推定精度を記録し，ユーザに自身の内面状態に関して深い理解を与える可能性を示した．Recently, due to the advance and spread of smartphones equipped with various sensors, human beings&#039; inner states such as &quot;busyness&quot; or &quot;tiredness&quot; can be detected more accurately. If people can recognize the factors contributing to their inner states, they will be able to regulate their own emotions and moods by paying attention to those factors. However, the adaptive system for each individual&#039;s diversity that recognize, analyze, and provide the factors contributing to our inner state is not realized. In this research, we propose a system, MyFactor, that accumulates smartphone sensor data and user annotations about inner states to extract and provide information about the important factors contributing to a user&#039;s inner states. In a 111-day experiment with 13 university students, researchers estimated that an &quot;individual model&quot; developed only with the data of each user had a higher predictive accuracy for human inner states than the generic model developed using data from all subjects. In addition, the model with the highest predictive accuracy, trained by a single sensor, performed better and showed the possibility of giving a deeper understanding of human inner states than the model trained using data from all available sensors.

Road maintenance requires local city governments to dedicate a substantial amount of funds in finding and repairing damaged traffic marks and pavements. In developed cities, the total road length is so large that the cost becomes unreasonably high. In this paper, we propose a method of sensing damaged traffic marks from images captured by a camera mounted to a car, for the purpose of reducing road maintenance cost. In particular, we utilized convolutional neural networks (CNN), as well as linear support vector machines (SVM) and Random Forest, in developing a system of damage detection. The experiments used thousands of images captured in the wild and showed that the method can detect damages using CNN with 93% accuracy, at maximum, and at reasonable speed (55 images per second).

Investigating users' interruptibility as an indicator of his/her attention status has been essential in recent pervasive computing where the users' attention resources get scarce against ever increasing amounts of information. In this paper, we address research problems related to the users' available interruptibility, their physical activities, and their current locations and situations. We propose the 'Interruptibility Map', a geographical tool for analyzing and visualizing the user's local interruptibility status in the context of smart city research. Our map describes where citizens are expected to feel more or less interruptive against notifications produced by computing devices, which are known to have negative effects on work productivity, emotion, and psychological state. We conducted a continuous analysis from our previous research and a new additional in-the-wild user study for 2 weeks with 29 participants to investigate the relationship between one's interruptibility and their locations and situations. As a highlight of our findings, we found certain pairs of user activity change and a location that showed better interruptibility to users, such as an activity change of 'when user's riding car(bus) stops' in the bus commute situation.

Automotive sensing is a novel and appealing sensing technology in which sensors are installed into vehicles to utilize vehicles' mobility to conduct urban sensing in smart cities. The coverage performance is a major metric to characterizing the quality-of-service of sensing systems. Despite of the coverage metrics studied in static sensor networks that consist of only spatial dimension, the lack of a proper metric to characterizing the spatio-temporal coverage of automotive sensing systems is stunting the research, development and commercialization of such mobile sensing systems. To address this issue, we propose, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, a spatio-temporal coverage metric for automotive sensing. The proposed metric characterizes the coverage in both spatial and temporal dimensions in order to provide a guideline for smart cities application developers to evaluate the quality-of-service that can be expected from an automotive sensing system. Evaluation based on an automotive sensing system implemented in Fujisawa City, Japan is conducted to demonstrate the usage of this metric in a realistic scenario.

The use of geometric is an alternative framework for robotic locomotion instead of animal-inspired structures. We propose a spiny, multi-pedal robot that uses radial linear actuators as the legs. We developed a unique telescopic slide actuator that has a stroke up to 250% of its minimum length. The default form of the robot is a sphere with variable diameters. The radial arrangement of the telescopic slide actuators allows a large range of shape transformation and processes for rolling. We first show the basic properties of the actuator to verify the ability to elevate and propel the body. The single module of the actuator has a weight of 0.4 kg and can output a force of 25 N maximum. We demonstrate that the robot with twelve spines can change its shape to adapt to a level ground, wall, and rocky surfaces. We also show that the robot can roll on level ground with triangle-based strides. We expect further applications in surveillance and unmanned exploration.

Due to the advance in information and communication technologies, smart cities have become an increasingly appealing vision. One indispensable basis in the research, development and implementation of smart cities is urban sensing technologies, which collect various citywide data that will be processed to generate information for understanding the status of cities. Automotive sensing is a novel urban sensing technology that utilizes the mobility of automobiles to conduct sensing tasks. In a collaborative smart-city project with the city office of Fujisawa City, Japan, we designed and implemented an automotive sensing platform called Cruisers, and have deployed it into the garbage collecting trucks of the city to evaluate the applicability of automotive sensing in realistic urban settings. In this paper, we first detail the system design, implementation and deployment of Cruisers and then evaluate its performance in realistic setting.

We introduce SOXFire, a multi-community city-wide sensor network for sharing social big sensor data in smart cities. The goal of SOXFire is to provide practical distributed and federated infrastructure for IoT sensor data sharing among various users/organizations in a way that is scalable, exten- sible, easy to use and secure with preserving privacy. SOX- Fire supports not only access to physical IoT sensors but also crowd sensing and SNS/Web sensing where city employees, citizen and WEB developers contributed in a different ways but unified APIs. In this paper, we outline the concept of SOXFire and present it's design and implementation with tangible libraries and tools. In addition, we discuss capability and usability of SOXFire based on our experiments in smart city project in Japan.

大地震発生時の津波から身を守るためには平常時の津波避難訓練が重要とされる．本研究は，従来行われてきたイベント型の津波避難訓練における，災害シナリオ，訓練日時，訓練場所，参加可能な人の面での柔軟性欠如の課題に取り組み，ユビキタス・コンピューティング技術を利用してそれらを解決する「ユーザ非同期参加型津波避難訓練モデル」を提案する．同モデルにおいては，各ユーザが個別に，任意のタイミング・災害シナリオ・地点で避難訓練を実施でき，また避難行動記録や避難中の気づきを集約して可視化分析することで，防災計画の更新に活用できることを特長とする．本研究では同モデルに基づきプロトタイプシステム「EverCuate」を構築した．神奈川県藤沢市において40人の被験者による229回にわたる広範なユーザ評価実証実験，およびアンケート評価を行い，訓練への参加のしやすさへの寄与，防災意識向上への貢献，収集した避難行動やユーザフィードバック情報の可視化による防災計画への活用，既存方式と比較しての施策としての有効性の面で効果が明らかになった．Evacuation trainings have been conducted as an effective action to protect people from incoming tsunamis in case of a big earthquake. This research addresses limitations of existing conventional &quot;event-style&quot; tsunami evacuation trainings, that are inflexible in disaster scenarios, training timings, training locations, and participatable trainees. We propose a new ubiquitous computing technology-supported training model named &quot;Asynchronously-Participatable Tsunami Evacuation Training Model&quot; and a prototype system &quot;EverCuate&quot; based on this model. We evaluated the EverCuate system by conducting an extensive user study in Fujisawa city, Kanagawa, with 40 participants and the total number of 229 trainings. The evaluation results validated the effectiveness of EverCuate in terms of easiness in participation to a training, promotion of understanding necessity of different evacuation behaviour for different disaster scenarios, and easiness of analysing people&#039;s real evacuation behaviour from the view point of local authorities.

市民参加型まちづくり（Participatory planning）とは，まちづくりの過程に市民を巻き込むことであり，実際の都市の中で起こっている問題を素早く発見，解決できる可能性が高い．市民参加型まちづくりを促進するためには市の職員と市民の間での日常的なコミュニケーションを活性化することが重要である．本研究の目的は，人々が日常的に持つモバイル端末やPC端末を通して情報をやりとりする参加型センシングを市民参加型まちづくりにも適用することである．既存の参加型センシングの例では，質問の内容カテゴリが限定的なものや，市民の意見収集，意見交換を行うための特定のアプリケーションのインストールが必要であるものが存在する．また，市民から提供された情報はプライバシ情報を除いたオープンな情報であることやシステムの操作が容易であることが望ましい．本研究ではこれらの課題を解決し，市民参加型まちづくりのための参加型センシングシステム，MinaQnを提案する．本研究ではMinaQnを2週間にわたって3都市（藤沢市・茅ヶ崎市・寒川町）の公式ホームページに組み込み，市の職員および市民に利用してもらう実証実験を行った．全体として1,000個以上の回答データと市の職員および市民からのフィードバックを得ることで，定性的および定量的な評価を行い，将来異なる地域や多くの市民に持続的に参加してもらうためにはどうすればよいか，これからの参加型センシングシステムのデザイン指針を示した．特に災害時において今後より多くの市民に位置情報を提供してもらうためには，質問の意図説明やプッシュ通知など市からの積極性が必要なことや，市の職員が実際に自由な質問設定をするために自治体の中あるいは市全体で議論し質問内容の枠組みを増やしていけるような取り組みや制度の策定が必要なことが分かった．Participatory planning is to involve citizens in a process of urban development, which is likely to find out and solve a problem happening in an actual city. To promote participatory planning, it is important to activate everyday communication between city officials and citizens. The purpose of this research is to apply the participatory sensing technology to participatory planning which people exchange information through their mobile devices or computers. In the existing examples of participatory sensing, the categories of questions are limited or it is necessary to install a specific application for collecting and reflecting citizens&#039; demands. Besides, it is required that data from citizens should be open without privacy information and also operation of a system should be easy. To solve these problems, we propose MinaQn (Mina means everybody in Japanese), a participatory sensing system for citizen-centric urban development. We carried out a two weeks experiment in corporation with 3 cities in Japan. Overall, more than 1,000 answer data and feedback were gathered and we measured the effectiveness of MinaQn with qualitative and quantitative data. Also we direct the design policies of future participatory sensing systems. In particular, to get more people involved in providing their location information in the event of a natural disaster, we found that an active agent of city officials and support for the establishment of standards and systems for setting free questions are needed.

Since current digital fabrication relies on 3D printer very much, there are several concerns such as printing cost (i.e., both financial and temporal cost) and sometimes too homogeneous impression with plastic filament. To address and solve the problem, we propose ReFabricator, a computational fabrication tool integrating everyday objects into digital fabrication. ReFabrication is a concept of fabrication, mixing the idea of Reuse and Digital Fabrication, which aims to fabricate new functional shape with ready made products, effectively utilizing its behavior. As a system prototype, we have implemented a design tool which enables users to gather up every day objects and reassemble them to another functional shape with taking advantages of both analog and digital fabrication. In particular, the system calculates the optimized positional relationship among objects, and generates joint objects to bond the objects together in order to achieve a certain shape.

Recent technological trends in mobile/wearable devices and sensors have been enabling an increasing number of people to collect and store their "lifelog" easily in their daily lives. Beyond exercise behavior change of individual users, our research focus is on the behavior change of teams, based on lifelogging technologies and lifelog sharing. In this paper, we propose and evaluate six different types of lifelog sharing models among team members for their exercise promotion, leveraging the concepts of "competition" and "collaboration." According to our experimental mobile web application for exercise promotion and an extensive user study conducted with a total of 64 participants over a period of three weeks, the model with a "competition" technique resulted in the most effective performance for competitive teams, such as sports teams.

This paper proposes a person identification algorithm that can be used when searching for persons from multiple images captured by flying robots. The images taken by such robots have low resolution and contain various viewing angles of people because they fly at a safe distance from and often move around people. The proposed person identification algorithm is based on appearance and can identify a person from low-resolution images of the upper body. In appearance-based person identification, the accuracy is low when a single image is used. Therefore, the accuracy is improved by accumulating the score. Experimental results obtained using 40 subjects show that the identification accuracy based on images having different view angles is better than that based on images having similar view angles. Further, the identification accuracy increase even when rear images of the person that are barely distinguishable from those of another person are added to the input images. In addition, it can identify persons even when the size of the upper body image is as small as 15 pixels. We performed the identification experiment using images taken by an aerial-robot while it was actually flying and proved the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Recently, many researchers have been focusing on the detection and classification of urban events by information analysis on social networks. Previous works mainly use text analysis of users' posts on social networks for detecting urban events. However, this approach has a limitation that the users' posts must mention the event for the analysis to be conducted. We propose a new method for classifying urban events by extracting user interest from the location-based social network information without text analysis. The proposed method includes analyzing common friends of users in the vicinity of the event venue and extracting common the friends' attributes by referring to related Wikipedia information. We designed and implemented the proposed method, and conducted an experiment for evaluating our method. Our experimental result shows that our method can classify events well in cases where participants have similar interests.

In Japan, there are 1.2milion kilometers or more of the road, of which 900, 000 km of road has been paved. Paved road has been painted compartment line to separate many vehicles and driver-pedestrian. Compartment line is important for drivers and pedestrians because they can recognize for they are aware of the width of the roadway and the sidewalk by the compartment line. Therefore, municipality should inspect the ongoing compartment line but they are inspected by people so the burden for road management is big. The purpose of this research would be to automatically detect the damage of the compartment line. The image obtained from cameras, applying random forest. In this experiment, we used more than about 50, 000 of images by capturing a Walking camera and a vehicle-mounted camera. Baseline and precision comparison result, the detection of damage to compartment line, it was confirmed that the proposed method is effective.

Collecting urban data in a citywide scale plays a fundamental role in the research, development and implementation of smart cities. This demo introduces Cruisers, an automotive sensing platform for smart cities, which is developed based on the following ideas. a) Garbage collecting trucks are used as host automobiles to accommodate sensors, b) 3G cellular communication network is used to wirelessly deliver sensed data directly to servers, and c) Proxy server(s) are adopted to convert the format of sensed data to required ones. This platform has been deployed to 24 garbage collecting trucks at Fujisawa city, i.e., nearly 1/4 of the total number of such trucks in the city. An iOS application is also developed to demonstrate the sensing process and the covered area.

Sleep is conserved from invertebrates to vertebrates, and is tightly regulated in a homeostatic manner. The molecular and cellular mechanisms that determine the amount of rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) and non-REMS (NREMS) remain unknown. Here we identify two dominant mutations that affect sleep and wakefulness by using an electroencephalogram/electromyogram-based screen of randomly mutagenized mice. A splicing mutation in the Sik3 protein kinase gene causes a profound decrease in total wake time, owing to an increase in inherent sleep need. Sleep deprivation affects phosphorylation of regulatory sites on the kinase, suggesting a role for SIK3 in the homeostatic regulation of sleep amount. Sik3 orthologues also regulate sleep in fruitflies and roundworms. A missense, gain-of-function mutation in the sodium leak channel NALCN reduces the total amount and episode duration of REMS, apparently by increasing the excitability of REMS-inhibiting neurons. Our results substantiate the use of a forward-genetics approach for studying sleep behaviours in mice, and demonstrate the role of SIK3 and NALCN in regulating the amount of NREMS and REMS, respectively.

In this poster, we propose a public vehicle-based urban sensing system, where sensor nodes are equipped to public vehicles and collect data as the host vehicle roams around a city. Compared with the urban sensor systems that employ static sensor nodes or personal mobile devices, our proposed system achieves a wide sensing area through the mobility of host vehicles, reduces initial investment by employing existing infrastructures and facilitates system operation and maintenance which can be executed in the car barn(s). In this poster, the system architecture and implementation details are described. A preliminary experiment is conducted to validate the proposed system.

In recent years, many technologies have been introduced in the city environment. For example, by interacting with digital public displays, citizens can get more detailed information when they want. These kinds of interactive public displays make interaction between people and digital public displays. By observing user's interaction between people and digital public displays, we consider that we can find external factor of motivating citizens to do some actions. In this paper, we tried to explore the relation between environmental information and user's interaction by using interactive public display application. From the result of field study, we discuss about what makes people to motivate people to action and how to frame user models.

World Wide Web contains a huge amount of periodically-updated values originally sensed from the physical world; they include, for example, density of air pollutant, road traffic condition, and car park occupancy. In many cases, however, those data are not easily accessible from a computer program due to the lack of APIs to fetch them. In this paper, to cope with this problem, we propose an architecture for discovering, excavating, and streaming the entombed web contents (EWC). This architecture, called Sensorizer, leverages crowd sourcing for accurate EWC discovery, periodic web scraping with a headless browser for excavation from dynamic web pages, and a standardized communication protocol (XMPP) for data streaming to wide variety of applications.

We present Senbay, a novel smartphone-based platform for capturing and sharing synchronously-recorded video/sensor data stream using animated two-dimensional barcode. In the ubicomp environment, mobile devices have enabled us to capture video and various types of sensor data easily. However, currently we do not have a framework to instantly integrate video and those sensor data on smartphones and share them easily with other users on the net. In this paper, we present Senbay, a platform to integrate video and sensor data stream into single video on smartphones. With Senbay, sensor data stream will be embedded into a video as animated QR code in real-time, thus users can share the \sensor-federated" video easily on the web, through lots of popular video sharing services. This paper introduces the architecture and evaluation of Senbay and discusses future vision of the sensor-federated video sharing platform along with several applications.

This paper presents MinaQn1, a web-based participatory sensing platform to enhance bidirectional communication between municipality and citizens for citizen-centric urban development. To make cities more comfortable to live, it is necessary for municipality to collect and reect citizens' demands in their administrative works. MinaQn enables city officers to make various questionnaire to citizen easily, and citizen can answer the questionnaire with their location information through any devices by using WEB interface. The answers from citizen are collected as sensor data with unified format and protocol, so that the data can be shared and used for various applications. We designed and implemented MinaQn with web and XMPP technology, and carried out a two weeks experiment in corporation with 3 cities in Japan. Based on the experiment, we measured the effectiveness of MinaQn with qualitative and quantitative data. In addition, we also evaluated how citizens consider about providing their location information to the administrative works of the cities.

According to the spread of smart devices such as smartphones and smart tablets, opportunities to communicate between them will be more increased. Though we usually use WiFi and Bluetooth, it is still burden task for end-users. Many previous techniques to collaborate devices easily has been also proposed, they are not always best solution in some situations. This paper proposes a new interaction method called Vinteracion, which leverages combination of vibrator and accelerometer to send information from smart device to the other smart device. Vinteraction enables users to use touch interaction like Near Field Communication, which provides easy and intuitive way. We present an algorithm and implementation of vibration-based communication that can be adapted to any combination of smart devices. We also present several applications which leverages Vinteraction effectively. Through an evaluation by using popular six products, we confirmed that Vinteraction is easy to use transfer method with current products with reasonable performance.

全国の道路で老朽化が進行している.そのため,自治体による道路の維持管理がより一層求められているが,点検には特殊な車両が必要になり,そのコストが負担となる.また,車両の数が限られていることから,一度に点検できる範囲に限度が生じ,広域における点検が困難である.そこで,自治体の所有するごみ収集車やコミュニティバスなどの公用車の利活用によって,コストの低減や点検の広域化を図るため,本研究では特殊な車両を使用しない道路の点検手法を実現する.本稿では,路面標示の状態収集に着目し,天球カメラと半天球カメラを用いて路面標示を撮影し,その画像から擦り切れの有無を検出する手法を提案する.本稿の実験では天球カメラの RICOH THETA と半天球カメラの QBiC D1 を使用し,それぞれ車両に取り付けて走行した際の撮影と検出実験を行った.

近年，GPSを搭載したスマートフォンとSNSの普及によって，リアルタイムに位置情報を付加させた発言をユーザが投稿する機会が増加している．この機会によって投稿された発言の中には実世界イベントに関する情報が含まれており，その一部はユーザが体験したり，目撃したりしたことに関するものであることが多い．これらの発言を収集し，解析することで実世界で実際に起きている社会イベントを検出することが可能となる．イベントを検出するために必要な発見と分類という2つの工程のうち，本研究ではイベントの分類に着目し，イベント参加者を利用したイベント分類手法を提案する．イベント参加者の多様性を意味する大衆性という新しい分類軸を定義し，イベント参加者がフォローしているユーザの解析によるイベントの分類を目指す．本研究では解析ツールの設計と実装をし，ツールを用いてあらかじめ実際のデータをもとに発見された社会イベントの解析を行い，分類を行った．Yahoo!クラウドソーシングにおいて一対比較法を用いて大衆性に基づき分類した結果を取得し，本手法を適用した解析結果と比較・考察を行った．その結果，大衆性に関してクラウドソーシングを用いた調査結果と回帰分析による提案手法の分析結果に一定の相関性があることを示した．Recent progress and spread of smartphones and social network services enables us to transmit text messages with GPS location data anywhere and anytime. Since these location-based SNS messages often refer real-world's events, many researchers have tried to recognize real-world's event through analysis of the messages. In this paper, we define a new index of event classification called popularity, and present a novel method to calculate the index by analysing social network of the events participants. Popularity, which reflects the diversity of event participants, is a useful index of the event for creating various applications such as event navigation or recommendation. We designed and implemented intuitive web-based interactive tool for analysing popularity of events. Through comparative experiments by analysis of proposed system and crowdsourcing, we confirmed that our proposal method provide a certain amount of accuracy for calculating the popularity of events.

デジタルディスプレイやプロジェクタなどの情報表示機器の価格の低下にともない，街中や駅などの公共空間で様々な情報の配信を行う公共メディアが普及してきた．また，センサの低価格化やモーションキャプチャ技術の発展によってマルチタッチなどの平面的なインタラクションだけではなく，手全体や体を使った三次元的な入力も可能になった．このような技術を用いた，三次元的な入力を受付けるインタラクティブな公共メディアは今後増加すると考えられる．しかし，公共性の持つ特性と三次元的なインタラクションの複雑さから，ジェスチャのような手法による入力を公共空間において正しくユーザに伝えることは難しい．本研究では，公共空間におけるジェスチャによる入力のためのユーザ誘導およびユーザへの操作指示手法を提案する．提案したユーザ誘導および操作指示手法をもとにジェスチャ入力が可能な公共メディアのプロトタイプを作成しフィールドスタディを行った．フィールドスタディにおいて，72人の被験者に実験に協力をしてもらい，アンケートに回答してもらい，結果について考察を行った．本稿では，提案する手法を用いて行ったフィールドスタディから得られた知見について述べる．Due to price reduction of the device which can display information such as digital display and projector, public media which provides many kinds of information is emerging. In addition, due to price reduction of sensors and improvement of technique of motion capture, gestural and three-dimentional inputs are emerging to interact with digital media. Interactive public media which supports three-dimentional inputs will increase. However, instructing gestural inputs has difficulties which contains nature of publicness and complexity of the interaction itself. In this research, we propose the method of instructing the way of interaction for users. We implemented the prototype which supports gestural input and applied our proposal on it. We carried out field study with our prototype and we got feedback from 72 participants of the field study. In this paper, we describe the result of the experiment and discussion of our proposal.

近年，携帯端末の普及にともない誰もが日常生活中の活動情報を検知・蓄積可能なライフログ環境が整ってきた．これまでライフログデータは，個人を対象として行動変容の促進に活用されてきたが，今後は研究室やスポーツチーム，企業といった集団を対象とした行動変容の促進が可能になると考えられる．しかし，集団は個人とは異なり内部に様々な人間関係が存在するため，これまでの個人を対象とした行動変容促進手法が集団に対して効果的であるかは明らかではない．本研究では，集団の行動変容を促進するモデルとして，既存手法の「競争」と「協力」の要素を組み合わせた6種類の集団の行動変容促進モデルの提案し，効果の検証を行った．提案モデルに基づいた行動変容促進を行うAaron2を実装し，2つの集団（64名）を対象に3週間の実験を行った．1週間ごとの行動変容について考察した結果，チーム目標と直接的に関係ない活動では行動変容への効果が低く，日頃からチーム単位で競争を行っているチームでは「チーム間での競争要素」用いたモデルが最も行動変容への効果が高くなる可能性が示された．Recent technological trends on mobile/wearable devices and sensors have been enabling increasing number of people to collect and store their &quot;lifelog&quot; easily in their daily lives. Beyond exercise behavior change of individual user, our research focus is on the behavior change of teams, based on life-logging technologies and information sharing. In this paper, we propose and evaluate six different types of information sharing model among team members for their exercise promotion, leveraging concepts of &quot;competition&quot; and &quot;collaboration&quot;. According to our experimental mobile web application for exercise promotion and extensive user study among 64 total users for three weeks, the model with &quot;competition&quot; technique resulted the most effective performance for competitive teams such as sport teams.

In pervasive computing environments, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play an important role, collecting reliable and accurate context information so that applications are able to provide services to users on demand. In such environments, sensors should be self-adaptive by taking correct decisions based on sensed data in real-time. However, sensor data is often faulty. Faults are not so exceptional and in most deployments tend to occur frequently. Therefore, the capability of self-healing is important to ensure higher levels of reliability and availability. We design a framework which provides self-healing capabilities, enabling a flexible choice of components for detection, classification, and correction of faults at runtime. Within our framework, a variety of fault detection and classification algorithms can be applied, depending on the characteristics of the sensor data types as well as the topology of the sensor networks. A set of mechanisms for each and every step of the self-healing framework, covering detection, classification, and correction of faults are proposed. To validate the applicability, we illustrate a case study where our solution is implemented as an adaptation engine and integrated seamlessly into the ClouT system. The engine processes data coming from physical sensors deployed in Santander, Spain, providing corrected sensor data to other smart city applications developed in the ClouT project.

Roads are becoming deterioration in everywhere. In some places, traffic marks painted on roads are damaged thus needed to be updated. Municipalities must manage road condition and traffic marks (road painting). It is the municipalities task to manage those roads using, for example, special inspection cars and human eyes. However, the management cost is high if a city contains many roads. This paper proposes a mechanism that automates this management. Our idea is to leverage cameras attached to garbage trucks, which run through the entire city almost everyday. The mechanism collects road images and detects damaged traffic marks using an image recognition algorithm. This paper shows the algorithm and reports the benchmark results. The benchmark showed that the mechanism can detect the damaged traffic marks with 76.6% precision.

In order to help smart cities to provide responsive services to improve the quality of life of their citizens, a global-scale platform relying on Cloud computing as an enabler to bridge the Internet of Things with Internet of People via Internet of Services, is presented in this paper. This platform will focus on a citizen-centric approach, offering to end-users the possibility of creating their own Cloud services and share them with other citizens, as well as involving other city stakeholders ranging from municipalities to service developers and application integrators. The definition, design and development of the aforementioned platform has been carried out within ClouT project (still ongoing), framed into a joint European-Japanese initiative, where different field trials developed on top of the developed platform, have been deployed in the four cities that take part of the project: Mitaka and Fujisawa in Japan, and Santander and Genova in Europe.

近年,センサネットワークと携帯端末を利用したセンシングが普及しより高密度,広範囲の情報を取得することが可能になった.携帯端末を利用したセンシングの中でユーザが意識的にセンサとして働く参加型センシングでは,例えば場所や天気の様子に関するタスクを閲覧・選定し情報収集・提供する.しかしユーザがタスク選定をする際,多数のタスクが混在した状況ではどのタスクを実行すれば良いか分かり辛い.本研究では選定すべきタスクを物理センサを用いて価値付け,地図上に可視化することで参加型センシングへの参加機会を創出する手法を提案する.提案手法を実現するために,本研究ではセンサネットワークと参加型センシングが同一プラットフォームで動作する統合アーキテクチャを設計・実装した.これにより,センサネットワークおよび参加型センシングが持つ両者の利点を活かしつつ,互いの欠点を補完しあったセンシング環境が実現可能となる.

本論文では，着脱可能な電線によって充電，給電しながら上空をセンシングするプラットフォームである EverCopter を提案する．バッテリー駆動による UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) は，地上の障害物を気にする事無く，広大な範囲をセンシングできる事が最大のメリットであるが，バッテリー容量による制限を受けてしまう．EverCopter は以下の 2 つの特徴により，長時間かつ広範囲なセンシングを可能とする．まず，複数に接続された EverCopter の一方は，地上の電源装置に接続され，給電されている．このことで，それぞれの EverCopter はバッテリー無しで飛行する事ができるため，半永久的な飛行が可能となる．また，末端の EverCopter はバッテリーを備えており，任意のタイミングで着脱が可能である．よって，UAV 本来の自由なセンシングも可能である．The paper proposes EverCopter, which provides continuous and adaptive over-the-air sensing with detachable wired flying objects. While a major advantage of sensing systems with battery-operated flying objects is a wide sensing coverage, sensing time is limited due to its limited amount of energy. We propose dynamically rechargeable flying objects, called EverCopter. EverCopter achieves both long sensing time and wide sensing coverage by the following two characteristics. First, multiple EverCopters can be tied in a row by power supply cables. Since the root EverCopter in a row is connected to DC power supply on the ground, each EverCopter can fly without battery. This makes their sensing time forever, unless the power supply on the ground fails. Second, the leaf EverCopter can detach itself from the row in order to enjoy wider sensing coverage. An EverCopter, while it is detached, runs with its own battery-supplied energy. When the remaining energy becomes low, it flies back to the row to recharge the battery.

Wide variety and large scale life-log data are very useful to self behavior change, medical care, education, and social analytics. Existing researches of human behavior change using life-log data focus on individual human behavior change. But nowadays everyone have communication equipment like smart phones. Group behavior change is very useful to keep workers' health in company and/or managing amount of practice in a sport team. Group has many kind of human relations, for example, manager and normal member. Therefore techniques for individual human behavior change is not effective to groups. The biggest aim of our research is to build the model of group behavior change. Specially, we focus on team behavior change. In this paper, we propose six types of group behavior model based on the "competition" and "collaboration" technique. We used encouraging team modification application in sports team and laboratory for keeping the sit-up exercise for 3 weeks. Sit-up exercise is very important to preventing the injury and keep fit for the sport team and the laboratory member. We create 8 groups in a team. We evaluate and consider this model based on the change of the self-efficacy and number of sit-up activities.

The paper proposes vertical/horizontal smart city service orchestration in terms of networking, sensing and actuation across ground, air and space. Smart city services should support in both usual and emergency situations, however, the system requirements to the different situation differs because network availability and sensing/acting priority are different among the situations. To fulfil various requirements for smart city serves, we present vertical/horizontal service orchestration through Fujisawa field trials in Japan.

This system consists of two UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) with a projector and a screen. FlyingDisplay achieves moving freely and keeping stable in 3-D space. FlyingDisplay moves closer to people and gives information directly to them. To evaluate performance of FlyingDisplay, we performed two experiments for adapting a flying control algorithm. We also showed the stability of FlyingDisplay systems by trajectories of each UAV. This paper highlights the performance of FlyingDisplay and discusses the FlyingDisplay&#039;s potential for public displays in physical space.

Since SENSeTREAM is a video stream with sensor values encoded in a two-dimensional graphical code, it can transmit multiple sensor data streams while maintaining their synchronization. A SENSeTREAM can be transmitted via existing live streaming services, and can be saved into existing video archive services. We have implemented a prototype SENSe- TREAM generator and deployed it to an online live music event. Through the pilot study, we confirmed that SENSe- TREAM works with popular streaming services, and provide a new media experience for live performances. We also indicate future direction for establishing visual stream aggregation and its applications.

Recent progress and spread of smartphones and social network services have enabled us to transmit text messages with GPS location data anywhere and anytime. Since these location-based SNS messages often refer to urban events, many researchers have tried to recognize urban events by analyzing of the messages. To construct the various applications based on the urban events information, we propose a new indicator of event, called Popularity which represents how popular the urban event is. Popularity is estimated by analyzing friends on social network of events' participants. To evaluate our new indicator, we designed and implemented intuitive and interactive web-based tool for analyzing Popularity of events. Through comparative experiments, we confirmed that our proposed method could provide a certain amount of accuracy for estimating Popularity of events.

This paper proposes a concept of linked participatory sensing, called LiPS, that divide a complex sensing task into small tasks and link each other to optimize social resource allocation. Recently participatory sensing have been spreading, but its sensing tasks are still very simple and easy for participants to deal with (e.g. Please input the number of people standing in a queue. etc.). To adapt to high-level tasks which require specific skills such as those in engineering, the medical profession or authority such as the organizer of the event, we need to optimize social resource allocation because the number of such professionals are limited. To achieve the complex sensing tasks efficiently, LiPS enables to divide a complex sensing task into small tasks and link each other by assigning proper sensors. LiPS can treat physical sensors and human as hybrid multi-level sensors, and task provider can arrange social resource allocation for the goal of each divided sensing task. In this paper, we describe the design and development of the LiPS system. We also implemented an in-lab experiment as the first prototype of hybrid sensing system and discussed the model of further system through users' feedback. Copyright 2014 ACM.

Recent progress of mobile devices such as smartphones enables human to leverage their perception ability as a part of sensing framework. This sensing framework, so called participatory sensing, distributes various sensing tasks (e.g., whether report, waiting time in a queue, traffic conditions etc.) to possible participants. Then, participants can select and achieve the sensing tasks. However, in the coming future with the rapid growth of participatory sensing and increasing number of sensing tasks, it must be very hard for users to choose appropriate sensing tasks around them. To solve this problem, we propose a system called Help Me!, which can value and visualize importance of sensing tasks by quantifying them in cooperation with physical sensors. Since Help Me! system provides objective index for sensing tasks, it enhances opportunity for users to participate to sensing tasks. We designed and implemented Help Me! system as an integrated architecture of physical sensors and participatory sensors. Through initial in-lab experiment, we confirmed that Help Me! system can enhance opportunity to participate to sensing tasks for users. © 2014 ACM.

According to the spread of smart devices such as smartphones and smart tablets, opportunities to communicate between them will be more increased. Though we usually use WiFi and Bluetooth, it is still burden task for end-users. Many previous techniques to collaborate devices easily has been also proposed, they are not always best solution in some situations. This paper proposes a new interaction method called Vinteracion, which leverages combination of vibrator and accelerometer to send information from smart device to the other smart device. Vinteraction enables users to use touch interaction like Near Field Communication, which provides easy and intuitive way. We present an algorithm and implementation of vibration-based communication that can be adapted to any combination of smart devices. © 2014 ACM.

City-scale IoT, a fundamental infrastructure for smart cities, requries to sense a range of ubiquitous entities in a city including humans, objects, and spaces. Ubiquitous sensor networks (USN) is the key technology to this. However, failures of a USN may result in hazards in our daily lives in smart cities. Monitoring of USN, rapid detection of faults and failures, and recovery from them are thus important for better applications of USN. This paper proposes a means to do so comprehensively by using Dependability Cases (D-Case). Since USN is a system composed of variety of components such ash wireless sensor nodes, database servers, and network appliances, we need a tool that can target them in common. Our tool enables to execute monitoring programs on a D-Case diagram, which is represented with Goal Structuing Notation (GSN), so that it can target a variety of devices and services. © 2014 IEEE.

Since human olfaction is known as combined utilization of his/her eyes and nose, we encapsulate fragrance into bubble soap to stimulate the nose and also project 3D image of the fragrance to the bubble soap in real-time. In this video, we present our first prototype which automatically inserts fragrance into a soap bubble and also projects images to the moving bubble. All system is activated by speech recognition.

In recent years, the steady emergence of digital communication, especially social media, has increased the 'placelessness' of inter-person communication practices, i.e., lessening the need to reside co-located in order to communicate. When these communication practices carry over to co-located settings, they introduce redundancy and potentially even harm the co-located context, since use of personal technologies tends to isolate users from their surroundings. In this position paper, we want to raise awareness on how interactive public displays could alleviate this redundancy and potential isolation. We present a model of reinforcing co-located communications, and illustrate it through example use cases. Copyright © 2013 ACM.

Designing novel and meaningful interactions in the domain of Augmented Reality (AR) requires an efficient and appropriate methodology. A user centered design process requires the construction and evaluation of several prototypes with increasing technical fidelity. Although the main content of the application can already be conveyed with prerendered video, one of the main interactions in AR - The user-selected viewpoint - is only available in a very late stage. We propose the use of panoramic 360? video for scenario based user evaluation, where the user can select his point of view during playback. Initial users report a high degree of immersion in the constructed scenario, even for handheld AR.

The paper proposes EverCopter, which provides continuous and adaptive over-the-air sensing with detachable wired flying objects. While a major advantage of sensing systems with battery-operated MAVs is a wide sensing coverage, sensing time is limited due to its limited amount of energy. We propose dynamically rechargeable flying objects, called EverCopter. EverCopter achieves both long sensing time and wide sensing coverage by the following two characteristics. First, multiple EverCopters can be tied in a row by power supply cables. Since the root EverCopter in a row is connected to DC power supply on the ground, each EverCopter can fly without battery. This makes their sensing time forever, unless the power supply on the ground fails. Second, the leaf EverCopter can detach itself from the row in order to enjoy wider sensing coverage. An EverCopter, while it is detached, runs with its own battery-supplied energy. When the remaining energy becomes low, it flies back to the row to recharge the battery.

There has been a great effort to create context-Aware technology to support user's life. Context-Aware technology is useful because it resolves user's demand in prior. However, if it fails to recognize context correctly and controls appliances incorrectly, users may feel uncomfortable about the environment. Context recognition error is currently unavoidable, therefore, notifying the user of what kind of result each context has, is considered to be important in order to ease user's discomfort. In the similar way, it is important to show the smartness of ubiquitous computing environment to people who don't know about the environment. To effectively provide this information to the users, we propose an interface called Second-sighted Glasses, inspired by the movie titled "Next". The glasses shows users the future effects of each action they may take with augmented reality technique.

An electron beam (EB) generated by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to irradiate two samples having different thermal conductivities, and the resulting temperatures of the EB-irradiated areas as well as the temperature distributions within the samples were then measured using a thermal camera. These measurements showed overall increases in sample temperatures, as well as revealed temperature rises at the EB-irradiated areas that had little difference with one of the theoretical predictions. Differences between the actual and the predicted temperature measurements were analysed in terms of the accuracy with which parameters could be estimated. The temperature distributions of the samples were measured and, On the basis of the results, it was hypothesized that the temperature differential over an irradiated sample will be inversely correlated with its thermal conductivity. © 2012 Royal Microscopical Society.

This paper proposes and evaluates a method to detect and classify tweets that are triggered by places where users locate. Recently, many related works address to detect real world events from social media such as Twitter. However, geotagged tweets often contain noise, which means tweets which are not content-wise related to users' location. This noise is problem for detecting real world events. To address and solve the problem, we define the Place-Triggered Geotagged Tweet, meaning tweets which have both geotag and content-based relation to users' location. We designed and implemented a keyword-based matching technique to detect and classify place-triggered geotagged tweets. We evaluated the performance of our method against a ground truth provided by 18 human classifiers, and achieved 82% accuracy. Additionally, we also present two example applications for visualizing place-triggered geotagged tweets. Copyright 2012 ACM.

Deploying Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) securely still requires users to have certain skills and exert effort. In the near "sensor everywhere" future, a much simpler method for deploying WSN will be necessary for end-users. We propose LiDSN(Light Communication for Deploying Secure Wireless Sensor Networks) which enables users to achieve deployment tasks via simple interaction. LiDSN leverages light-based communication between an LED and a light sensor in order to add a new sensor node securely into existing WSN. Through touching interaction, a new sensor node ID and secret key can be transmitted to the WSN, and then the WSN is able to identify which node should be added while maintaining the security of the WSN.

Recent progress in information technology enables people to easily broadcast events live on the Internet. Although the advantage of the Internet is live communication between a performer and listeners, the current mode of communication is writing comments using Twitter or Facebook, or some similar messaging network. In one type of live broadcast, musical performances, it is difficult for a musician, when playing an instrument, to communicate with listeners by writing comments. We propose a new communication mode between performers who play musical instruments, and their listeners by enabling listeners to control the performer's camera or illumination remotely. The results of four weeks of experiment confirm the emergence of nonverbal communication between a performer and listeners, and among listeners, which increases camaraderie amongst listeners and performers. Additionally, the dramatic impact of a performance is increased by enabling listeners to control various camera actions such as zoom-in or pan in real time. The results also provide implications for design of future interactive live broadcasting services. Copyright 2012 ACM.

As a result, various ways of device collaborations and services became possible. However, interfaces for selecting devices are still complicated for end-users and far from being intuitive. To solve this problem, we propose "vibconnect", an interface which enables users to select device intuitively by pasting a vib-connector, a small vibration-based device. Vib-connect solves these problem by implementing these device information as a unique vibration pattern. By keeping smartphones or any kind of vibration generating device, end-users can easily select devices to collaborate. We implement a prototype, and through the evaluation, we confirmed high accuracy in vibration pattern detection and high usability satisfaction by nonexpert users. By using "Vib-connect", users without any technical expertize can easily select devices to collaborate with. © 2011 IEEE.

Ubiquitous computing and communication are the key technology for achieving economic growth, sustainable development, safe and secure community towards a ubiquitous network society. Although the technology alone cannot solve the emerging problems, it is important to deploy services everywhere and reach real people with sensor enabled smart phones or devices. Using these devices and wireless sensor networks, we have been creating various types of ubiquitous services which support our everyday life. In this paper, we describe ubiquitous services based on a HOT-SPA model and discuss challenges in creating new ubiquitous services with smart enablers such as smart phones, wireless sensor nodes, social media, and cloud services. We first classify various types of ubiquitous service and introduce the HOT-SPA model which is aimed at modeling ubiquitous services. Several ubiquitous services, such as DIY smart object services, Twitthings, Airy Notes, and SensingCloud, are described. We then address the challenges in creating advanced ubiquitous services by enhancing coupling between a cyber and a physical space.

We propose a simple interaction to transfer information on smart phone to laptop/tablet PCs. We often encounter the situation that we need to send URL, which is preliminary accessed in mobile devices, from mobile devices to personal computers (PCs) to see the web page with wider screen. To support this information transfer, we utilize combination between vibrator in smart phones and accelerometer in laptop/tablet PCs. URL information is encoded to vibration patterns, and the patterns are detected and decoded by accelerometer in PCs. We demonstrate the interaction's efficiency and reasonability with actual products. © 2011 Authors.

近年,無線センサノードでネツトワーク(WSN:Wireless Sensor Network)を構築し,それを用いるアプリケーションが数多く提案,実装されている.これらの多くでは,データを解析する際にそれが取得された時刻を知る必要がある.一方,無線センサノードのクロックは実際の時刻からずれていくため,多くのアプリケーションにおいてデータを処理する際のエラーの原因となっている.上記の問題を解決するために,WSNのための時刻同期手法が提案されてきた.本研究では,無線センサノードがデータをセンシングした時刻を,シンクノード上で要した時間から推測する手法を提案し,moteのMAC層に実装した.LECTESはFTSPと比較し,1)シングルホップ時のエラーを1.618μsから0.488μsに減少,2)センサノードの寿命を19.8%延長,3)マルチホップ時に各ホップのエラーの上昇を0.694μsから0.256μsに減少,4)使用するROMとRAMをそれぞれ8,046byte,452byte減少した.

近年の情報技術の発展により,オンラインショップなどインターネットを利用した購買活動が盛んとなり,商品購買チャネルが多様化している.また一方で,実店舗においてもQRコードや電子マネーにより購買行動の効率が向上しており,今後はRFID技術や電子端末の導入などで更なる効率化が期待されている.しかし,店舗内の効率化に伴い人員の削減や店舗内における仕事が減少することによって顧客と店員のコミュニケーションが希薄になる問題が生じている.店員が接客を行うことによって顧客が商品を購入する確率は上昇し,また顧客にとっても最適な商品を選択できるなどの利点を享受できる.実店舗の利便性を高めるには,このコミュニケーションを活性化させる必要がある.しかし,接客には適切なタイミングがあり,間違えた接客を行うと顧客が不快になることも少なくない.本研究ではこの問題を解決するために顧客の商品購買時における「迷い状態」を抽出することにより顧客と実店舗の支援を行う.

This paper proposes a smart object event modeling language. By attaching sensor nodes to everyday objects, users can augment the objects digitally and apply the objects into various services. When creating such smart object services, users should define events, such as beverage of a cup turns cold or someone sits down on a chair, using physical values from sensors. The most common event definition for end-users is simply describing threshold of sensor values and boolean operation. When they want to define more complex events, such as multiple people sit down on chairs or a user starts to study using a pen and a notebook, they need to use a programming language. To define such complex event easily without complex programming language, we present a new event description language called SOEML based on temporal relation among simple events. We also provide users a visual interface to support users defining or reusing events easily.

The number of elders who encounter falling accidents has been increasing in the past few decades. Falling accidents could cause major injuries, such as having bruise, breaking bone, and in the worst case, losing life. Therefore, preventing elders from falling accidents is important in order to ensure the quality of life. In this paper, we propose Fatigue Alerting SHoes (FASH), a pair of shoes which detects the fatigue of walking people. There are three effects of fatigue on gait, and FASH system acquires all of them to improve the accuracy of fatigue detection. FASH system uses pressure sensors embedded in a pair of shoes to detect the tiredness, and notifies the user of "Tiredness Scale," a scale we defined in order to show the degree of tiredness. Through the evaluation, we affirmed the availability of using pressure sensor to detect accumulation of tiredness. We also confirmed the difference between the physical tiredness and the subjective feeling toward tiredness, which signifies the importance of acknowledging the user of his/her fatigue.

Recent years have seen active development of context-aware applications and systems that helps the development. However, it suffers from increasing fears for leakages of users&apos; activity information to other users unconsciously, since the owner of the activity information included in the sensor data is not treated in context-aware systems. We propose the Area-Based Activity Information Preservation (ABAIP) system that enables users to control the level of data resolution of their activity information to allow applications to use. Degrading sensor data resolution causes coarse grained context recognition. The system prevents unconscious and unnecessary activity information leakage amongst the ABAIP system users, while providing ubiquitous sensor environment for various kinds of ubiquitous software.

However, to scrap information from paper media to digital media is still burden task for users; they must capture information digitally by camera or OCR, and organize information manually. This research focuses to reduce the cost for scrapping physical media as digital media. For this purpose, we propose Markit - scrapping system using marking interaction. Users can capture physical information of their interest digitally only by marking them with sticky. We evaluate the usefulness of Markit interaction through usability test.

This paper proposes the concept of DIY (do-it-yourself) ubiquitous computing, an architecture allowing non-experts to establish ubiquitous computing environments in the real world. This concept has been implemented in the "u-Texture", which is a self-organizable panel that works as a building block. While the traditional scheme attaches devices such as computers, sensors, and network equipments externally to make everyday objects smart, the u-Texture has these devices built in beforehand to assemble smart objects. The u-Texture can change its own behavior autonomously through recognition of its location, its angle of inclination, and surrounding environment by assembling these factors physically. This paper describes the design, the implementation, and various applications of u-Textures to confirm that the concept can contribute to establishment of ubiquitous computing environments in the real world without expert users. © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2006.

Its molecular structure has been elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and TEM observation has been achieved for the first time for this size of SR-modified Au clusters. The core structure is best described in terms of an incomplete icosahedron.

We have developed a method for synthesizing a singing voice by gradually changing the musical expression based on speech morphing. This paper shows the advantages of this method in comparison with the approach of binary discrete transformation between two expressions, confirmed by statistical analyses of perception tests. In order to synthesize different expressional strengths of a singing voice, a "normal" (without expression) voice of a particular singer is used as the base of morphing, and three different expressions, "dark," "whispery" and "wet," are used as the target. Through our experiments, we confirmed i) the proposed morphing algorithm effectively interpolates the expressional strength of a singing voice, ii) an approximate equation of the perceptual sense can be used to calculate the morph ratio at a perceptually linear interval, and iii) our gradual transformation method can generate a natural singing voice from the interpolation of two different expressions.

Deploying Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) securely still required users to have certain skills and efforts. In the near "sensor everywhere" future, much simpler method for deploying WSN is necessary for end-users.
