Such activities include UPnP/DLNA, ECHONET and Continua Health Alliance and so on. However, there is no compatibility among those standards. To solve those problems, we have developed overlay networking protocols and device metadata technologies as a solution for controlling and managing heterogeneous home networks and appliances in a consolidated manner. Peer-to-peer Universal Computing Consortium (PUCC) was established in 2005, to deploy our overlay networking protocols and device metadata technologies toward de facto standardization. To verify the feasibility and usefulness of PUCC technologies, we have developed the PUCC middleware platforms, and PUCC applications using them. We explain PUCC overlay networking protocols and device metadata technologies. We also explain the PUCC middleware platforms and some PUCC applications using them.","PeriodicalId":145771,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122584627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, a conventional remote control is shared by many viewers and it is difficult to accurately capture the individual interaction data from each viewer. It is also difficult to identify the context in which the interactions occur, e.g., to manage precisely who is present in the environment and what is being watched on TV. In this paper, it is presented a novel architecture that facilitates the capture of viewers' individual interactions and contextual data in shared TV environments. This architecture uses personal devices as secondary screen devices with the aim of identifying viewers and capturing their interactions with interactive TV devices. A work in progress implementation of this architecture is briefly reported as an audio-visual content rating system for interactive TV.","PeriodicalId":145771,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123086338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many mechatronics systems, including automobile engine control and the brake control, a closed loop control is used to manage controls based on feedback data from control target objects. In order to develop a closed loop control using model base, a plant model that simulates the behavior of the control target plant is needed. This control model and the plant model are used throughout all the model based development processes. This paper discusses case examples in which these model based development technologies are applied to energy system developments that combine inverters and converters. We constructed a model house called “Smart Cell” as a place to demonstrate the energy system. We will introduce the Yokohama Smart Community [1] the instigators of this demonstration project. This organization aims to establish technologies that can make better use of natural energy.","PeriodicalId":145771,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134502157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce computational complexity and keep synchronization, compressing is based on distributed video coding, and multiplexing is an extension format of the H. 264/MVC NAL structure. Implementation results show that all functions are integrated in the LSI and that the synchronization is kept after transmitting.","PeriodicalId":145771,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114605135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The step response of the head was investigated to show that the sound propagation would be generated in the form of longitudinal and bending wave through the head. From the simulation results, the sound speed of the longitudinal and bending waves were approximately 1500 m/s and 260 m/s, and the latter was compatible with the previously measured sound speed of bone-conduction.","PeriodicalId":145771,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117297056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As validation experiments, fifteen participants viewed a 2-min-long first-person-view video section five times (total 10-min) continuously. Measured biosignals were the RR interval, respiration, and blood pressure time-series to estimate the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) power components and the LF/HF ratio. Then, we determined the trigger points and the sections that produced some sensation. The results showed that VIMS is first induced by specific trigger factors and increases depending on individual differences in autonomic regulation. The multi-timescale autonomic regulation model, which has independent coordinates for presence and VIMS and represents the short- and long-term effects, seems preferable for interpreting VIMS.","PeriodicalId":145771,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116097964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
