In recent years, e-learning has been used very widely because of rapid spread of computers and network. Furthermore the mobile-phone is so well spread that almost everyone owns a mobile-phone because of its simplicity. Many people carry their mobile phone anywhere with them. We can say that a mobile-phone becomes a commodity for everyone. The purpose of this paper is to propose a mobile-learning support...
C language is a major computer programming language, being widely used in software system development and education of computer science. However, comparing with other computer languages, C language is difficult and little uninteresting to its beginners and therefore, it takes more time to learn or teach. To give those beginners a interesting and comprehensible way to learn C language, we proposed...
The more professional licenses, the more jobs for student can easily get in Taiwan. It is very important to promote some professional certification for students in vocational education. In this paper, we used the rule-space model to diagnose the cognitive skills for assessment evaluation and also considered the user's relevance feedback to improve the learner's learning achievement in ITE (Information...
This paper aims to develop a multiple-video-based e-learning platform for physical education. The sports actions of teaching material can be shot and described by editing video into some desired clips for teaching and learning, and they would be stored into the action database. In this paper, we utilize multiple videos to display the sports action clips with three angle views which include in the...
The development of assessment management system has been discussed for a long time. The motivation always focuses on the evaluation of learners' ability or on the difficulties of examination. The common examination content could be composed by text or simple figures, and the assistant functionalities could also be developed to meet the individual needs. But these functionalities couldn't interoperate...
How to provide a multimedia information seeking support system (ISSS) is becoming more and more imperative. In this paper, we provide a multimedia ISSS for e-learning. This system requires flexible support for the modeling of multimedia content models and also supports possible interactivity, transfer of streams multimedia data such as audio, video, text and annotations using network facilities. However,...
Current learning systems are frequently criticized for their predominant focus on explicit, and in particular, written representation of knowledge. There are communities around the world where verbal knowledge is more pervasive than written knowledge. This paper presents a study of how such knowledge can be accessed anywhere/anytime, in a form that may be used and understood in a standardized format,...
A curriculum map, as well as a roadmap, could be used as a tool for a learning tour, i.e., guiding learners who are ??going from one course to another toward a particular learning target??. In this research, the curriculum map is composed of curriculums and links, in which each curriculum is treated as a node (like cities on a roadmap), and the links among the nodes are generated by ??competence keywords...
With rapid progress on ubiquitous technologies, various services become available at anytime and anywhere. One of hot topics in ubiquitous computing is context-aware services, which provide the services at proper time and proper place, in a proper way personalized to a user. However, there may be conflicts of services among users whose contexts are overlapped. Moreover, a context-aware service convenient...
Ubiquitous learning is one of fields utilizing widespread ubiquitous technologies and gives learners more effective and personalized education than the traditional one. Safety education is necessary for children since accidents and crimes against them happen increasingly in recent years. The children might need to protect them from dangers by themselves. Though it is important for the children to...
The application of RFID after years of development, there are many cases of the industries applied, and Tag is considered to be the next generation of Barcode. However, the RFID is via transmission of radio frequency manner, so hacker could obtain information through the analysis way of frequency signal. The personal privacy will be violated if used in the user's privacy information and transmission...
The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) positioning based on the signal strength is the well know and feasible method. But the researches based on signal strength only usually make unsatisfied positioning error because of the instable of RFID signal. In this paper, we propose an indoor RFID positioning system which is based on the analysis of signal strength, the layout of sensing region, and the...
In this paper, the distributed and intelligent agent software to support network equipments based on the ontology was proposed, in which an integrated information fetching system for network flow information was developed. The system operated the information fetching through the cooperation and coordinate of the intelligent agent software, in addition, the system also provided warnings after analysis...
A concept of a novel infrastructure, where all or at least a large majority of the involved objects have their own identifiers (IDs), is introduced. The object IDs are to secure reliable access to the various object features and corresponding data, and to support the intelligent communication between human and computer worlds. Several technologies for object location and identification are analyzed...
The performance of face recognition systems depends on conditions being consistent, including lighting, pose and facial expression. To solve the problem produced by pose variation it is suggested to pre-estimate the pose orientation of the given head image before it is recognized. In this paper, we propose a head pose estimation method that is an improvement on the one proposed by N. Hu et al. The...
The sensor node in Wireless Sensor Network is with the characteristics of low power consumption, but the sensor node can't be rechargeable. Therefore, the consumed of power is limited. How to effectively control the power of the sensor node and extend the life time of the whole network become a very important issue. This paper sets forth "The Optimal Sleep Control For Wireless Sensor Networks...
Deeply meanings of Chinese poems are hard to understand for novices. Motivating from the proverb ??A picture is worth a thousand words??, poetry composition together with relevant multimedia is proposed to assist people in understanding Chinese poems. Learning in this way, the format of poetry and context of learning environment can be used to provide composition suggestions. Therefore, how to assist...
This paper presents a tourism service system based on ubiquitous location aware infrastructure by the combination of global linear quadtree, wireless networks, GIS and cross-media techniques. GIS data is used as the spatial index in our system. The interactive tourist information platform and guide subsystem provide a natural interface for tourists. Multiple data source such as text, image, audio...
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most frequently used vital sign in ubiquitous healthcare. In many applications, the standard 12-lead ECG is desirable for monitoring both arrhythmia and acute coronary syndrome. Wei et al [1, 2] has developed a method for deriving standard 12-lead ECG from four-lead ECG so that the 12-lead ECG can be monitored in a ubiquitous environment. However, in multi-lead...
