Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for localizing a sound source in real time. The apparatus for localizing a sound source in real time includes a sound signal acquisition unit for acquiring sound signals through two or more channels. A sample delay storage unit stores a plurality of pieces of data, sampled from the sound signals acquired through respective channels, for a predetermined period of time. A correlation calculation unit calculates correlations between the channels from the plurality of pieces of sampled data stored in the sample delay storage unit. A sound source direction calculation unit calculates an azimuth angle of the sound source using both the correlations between the channels and location relationships of the sound signal acquisition unit. Accordingly, the present invention can localize a sound source in real time.

A method of providing customized service with privacy security includes: requesting service information provided from a smart environment to a smart environment control system; once the service information is transmitted from the smart environment control system, generating schedule information by using the service information, user personal information, and schedule generation information; and transmitting a service command to the smart environment control system according to the schedule information.
Abstract:
A user authentication system using a personal identification number, includes a user terminal device for requesting issuance of a personal identification number from an authentication server, storing and displaying a personal identification number, and registering reference information used to permit verification of validity of the personal identification number on the authentication server. Further, the user authentication system includes an inquiry device for requesting verification of validity of the personal identification number from the authentication server, and receiving and displaying results of the verification. Furthermore, the user authentication system includes an authentication server for storing issuance information while issuing the personal identification number, determining whether to permit the verification of the validity of the personal identification number, if the inquiry device requests the verification of the validity, and replying with results of the verification, if it is determined that the verification of the validity is to be permitted.
Abstract:
A smart wallet service module includes: a management unit for installing, activating, and terminating a smart wallet service or receiving and managing a user's setting; a security unit for providing an authentication service through an authenticated certificate or electronic signature; a storage unit for storing data in a database of a mobile device and managing the stored data; and a functional unit connected to a storage medium inside the mobile device and providing a service related to electronic commerce or credit card issuing.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus and method for real time motion detection is provided. In the apparatus, a sub-sampling module receives and sub-samples a current image and a plurality of previous images and a census transform module performs census transform on each of the sub-sampled images to obtain a census vector. A correlation calculation module calculates and compares correlation values between the current image and the plurality of previous images and detects a region having highest correlation. A motion detection module tracks positions of pixels corresponding to the region having the highest correlation to detect motion information in the images. The image processing apparatus and method can obtain, in real time, the direction and speed of an object that is in motion in each image.
Abstract:
An apparatus for inputting a user password, includes an interface receiving a command. Further, the apparatus for inputting the user password includes a control unit setting a target based on the command from the interface, receiving and storing a password character, and determining that authentication is successes only when the set target and the password character are positioned at a same coordinate on a skin image. Furthermore, the apparatus for inputting the user password includes a display unit connected to the interface to display the skin image of the interface that is transmitted from the control unit.
Abstract:
A key tree construction and key distribution method for hierarchical role-based access control, includes: constructing a key tree including relationships between a hierarchical structure of role groups and data; performing encryption and decryption of data keys and role keys; and generating a key table, in which the data keys required to decrypt encrypted data and the role keys required to decrypt encrypted data keys are stored, with reference to the key tree. Further, the key tree construction and key distribution method for hierarchical role-based access control includes performing management such that a specific role group can obtain a data key by performing decryption based on its own role key by using both the key tree and the key table.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for partially encoding/decoding data for a commitment service and a method of using encoded data. The apparatus includes an encoding/decoding module for encoding/decoding a database to be committed to a server using a private key of the user, obtained by accessing a key storage unit through a key management module which manages information about the private key of the user, stored in the key storage unit, and also encoding/decoding an SQL query required to use a DB committed to the server. The encoding/decoding module partially encodes/decodes one or more of table names, field names, and attribute values of the DB. In the present invention, the table names, field names, and field attribute values of the DB are partially encoded while the existing structure of the DB is maintained, and the partially encoded DB is committed to the server.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a real-time face detection apparatus. The real-time face detection apparatus includes a down-scaling unit and a face region comparison unit. The down-scaling unit down-scales an input image at at least one ratio. The face region comparison unit creates a plurality of windows for the image down-scaled at the at least one ratio, acquires face region confidence of each of window images within the created windows by comparing the window image with a classifier, and determines whether the window image corresponds to a face region.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an image processing method and apparatus for detecting the lines of images and the start and end points of the lines. The image processing apparatus includes an edge creation unit, a Hough transform unit, and an effective parameter detection unit. The edge creation unit creates an edge image using external image data input from the outside. The Hough transform unit performs a Hough transform on information about the pixel coordinates of the edge image created by the edge creation unit. The effective parameter detection unit detects the lines of the edge image by checking effective line parameters using the results of the Hough transform. The image processing apparatus may further include an edge list for storing coordinates of effective pixels constituting the edge image and a line parameter list for storing the effective line parameters.
