Koki MORII, Koji TAKETA, Yuichiro MORI, Hideharu KOJIMA† , Eitaro KOHNO, Shinji INOUE, Tomoyuki OHTA, Yoshiaki KAKUDA Graduate School of Information Sciences, Hiroshima City University, Hiroshima, Japan {cohki@nsw.info.,taketa@nsw.info.,mori@nsw.info.,kouno@nsw.info., shnj-496@nsw.info.,ohta@nsw.info.,kakuda@}hiroshima-cu.ac.jp,† hkojima@ist.osaka-u.ac.jp

Abstract—We have been developing a New Generation Children Tracking System using Android terminals which is based on experiences and findings of the field experiments for the Hiroshima City Tracking System executed in 2007. In the developing System, Android terminals communicate with each other with Bluetooth and configure a Bluetooth MANET. Also, they configure clusters autonomously by exchanged information. Tags in the Mesh Network use Wireless LAN to communicate with neighbor tags. They communicate with each other using the ad hoc routing protocols. We implement Secret Sharing Scheme for secure their end-to-end communication. In ATC2012, we plan to show the demonstration that Android terminals configure clusters autonomously and tags in the Mesh Network deliver cluster information to the server. Keywords-Ad Hoc Network; Autonomous Clustering; Android; Mesh Network;

New Generation Children Tracking System

II. SATISFACTION OF REQUIREMENTS We applied several technologies to the system in order to satisfy the requirements which are described in Section 1. For Requirement (1), we use the Android terminals, to which we can install application freely without dependence of manufacturers or carriers. Therefore, we are able to implement and get functions smoothly. For Requirements (2) and (3), we adopt the Autonomous Clustering technique. It is necessary to

    With over 243million iPhone’s been sold to date (segall, 2012) and over 500million android phones (Knight, 2012) it is fair to say that both IOS (Apple’s mobile platform) and Android (Google’s mobile platform) are the two most popular/common operating systems currently on the market. The high demand for these two systems makes them number one and two in the Smartphone market share (Velazco, 2012).…

    Over the last decade, electronic-based companies such as Samsung and Apple have collaborated with cellular-phone carriers, and have studied the average consumer to find endless ways to improve the cellular phone. As a result, the smart phone was born. With their ability to provide users with instant access to communication, entertainment, Internet access, calendar, news, social media, and much more, the smart phone revolutionized and shifted the path of modern technology. In 2006, Apple began this revolution with their release of the iPhone. Being the first proper smart phone, many other companies attempted to mimic the unbeatable features and technology that Apple had included with the iPhone. Though many had failed in doing so, Google managed to keep up with the iPhone with their Android software. Soon enough, Google’s Android software became the dominant smart phone based software for smart phones not manufactured by Apple. Because of this, Android phones had become just as popular as iPhones. This paper will explore the similarities and differences between both Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android.…

    A wireless network allows a user to connect to a network through the use of radio signals. This enables devices to connect to the internet without the use of wires. We use wireless networks continuously throughout the day. Some examples of wireless technologies include cell phones, laptops, tablets, Bluetooth headsets, and much more. Even home security and temperature controls can be controlled wirelessly through the use of applications on cell phones. “Analysis of a Local-Area Wireless Network” is an article that addresses the increasing number of wireless networks. “More companies and schools are installing wireless networks to support a growing population of mobile laptop and PDA users” (Tang et al).…

    In an Ad hoc mobile network, every node in the network carries its own router with it, and all nodes cooperate in carrying traffic. The whole philosophy of the Ad hoc networking model is a radical departure from the highly structured and frequently hierarchical models employed for both local area and wide area networking, currently in use. The range of possible situations in which Ad hoc networking can be exploited is huge. What mature and robust Ad hoc networking offers is virtually universal connectivity, limited only by the link performance and routing delays of the participating nodes, and their…

    Prashanth G.K [1] Assistant Professor, Sushil Kumar Singh[2] Project Student Sarmistha Panda[2] Project Student Department of MCA, Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur, India, prashanthgk@gmail.com Kumar.sushil.singh24@gmail.com sarm.prad@gmail.com Abstract Pervasive computing environments gracefully integrate networked computing devices – from tiny sensors to extremely dynamic and powerful devices – with people and their ambient environments. Service discovery is an essential element for pervasive computing to achieve “anytime, anywhere” computing without requiring users’ active attention to computing devices and network services. Privacy and security issues are to be considered in the future. It is growing rapidly in developing area such as Information and Communications Technology (ICT). The term refers to the increasing integration of ICT into people’s lives and environments, made possible by the growing availability of microprocessors with inbuilt communications facilities. It has many potential applications, in medical area and home care to environmental monitoring and intelligent transport systems. This paper makes an overview of pervasive computing and discusses the growing debate over privacy, safety and environmental implications. Keywords- Device, Connectivity, User Interface, Applications, Technological Issues, Safety and Security, Privacy. 1. Introduction The meaning of Pervasive is ―existing in all parts of a place or thing‖. Eight billion embedded microprocessors1 are produced each year. This number is expected to rise dramatically over the next decade, making electronic devices ever more pervasive. These devices will range from a few millimeters in size (small sensors) to several meters (displays and surfaces). They may be interconnected via wired and wireless technologies into broader, more capable, networks. Pervasive computing systems (PCS) and services may lead to a greater degree of user knowledge of, or…
