Abstract: Provided are a node update system using virtual partition technique and a control method thereof. A storage region of a sensor node is divided into a non-updatable invariable region and an updatable variable region to be virtually generated according to an execution operation of the sensor node. The states of the sensor nodes are monitored, and an update request signal is transmitted to a corresponding sensor node when update is necessary. Execution image information is received, and the execution image information is stored in the variable region to update an execution image, according to a response signal to the update request signal.

Abstract: Provided are a route guidance system and method for emergency vehicle using telematics. The route guidance system includes an instruction station, a vehicle telematics and a traffic signal controller. The instruction station sends destination information to an emergency vehicle for dispatch due to an occurrence of an emergency circumstance. The vehicle telematics is attached to the emergency vehicle, and searches a plurality of travel routes on the basis of the destination information to provide the shortest travel route. The traffic signal controller controls a corresponding traffic signal on the travel route before the emergency vehicle approaches on the basis of travel information sent from the vehicle telematics.

Abstract: Provided is a method for mobile sensor node roaming in an environment of first and second adjacent wireless sensor networks having a plurality of sensor nodes. The method includes the steps of: periodically performing energy detection scan and active scan operations, at the mobile sensor node forming an association with a parent node of the first wireless network, and obtaining energy values of selected channels and link quality indications (LQIs) for the channels; when the sensor node moves to the second wireless sensor network, periodically performing energy detection scan and active scan operations, at the sensor node, and obtaining energy values of selected channels and link quality indications (LQIs) for the channels after movement; comparing, at the sensor node, the energy values and link quality indications (LQIs) of the selected channels before and after movement.

Abstract: The traffic information providing device receives traffic information corresponding to a bus stop or a platform at which the traffic information providing device is positioned from a management server for collecting traffic information from at least one public transportation means, and broadcasts the received traffic information to the traffic information receiving device that is provided within a predetermined distance from the traffic information providing device by using the ZigBee or wireless sensor network that is a wireless personal area network (WPAN). The traffic information receiving device receives traffic information from the traffic information providing device by using the ZigBee or wireless sensor network, filters the same according to a filtering condition input by the user, and outputs traffic information desired by the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method of transmitting an emergency condition using a wireless sensor network that transmits a user's emergency condition using a wireless sensor network. A wireless sensor network communication device integrated with a biological sensor is attached to a user's body in order to gather user's biological information, and transmits the user's biological information through the wireless sensor network. A repeater receives the biological information from the communication device, and sends the received biological information by using a routing protocol of the wireless sensor network. A management server receives the biological information through the repeater, analyzes the biological information, and transmits a warning signal to a user or takes emergency measures. Therefore, it is possible to detect and cope with sudden physical problems, which are generated during user's exercises and outdoor activities, at an early stage.
