  • Mobile middleware supporting context monitoring and context monitoring method using the same
    Patent number: 8812577
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is mobile middleware, a context monitoring method, a context-aware system, and a context-aware service provision method, which support energy-efficient context monitoring. The mobile middleware receives a request for a CMQ from context-aware application programs, receives sensor data from sensors, monitors whether the CMQ is satisfied, and transmits an event to the context-aware application programs according to results of the monitoring. In this case, the mobile middleware controls the sensors so that only sensor data required to determine whether the CMQ is satisfied needs to be transmitted so as to reduce energy consumption during the performance of the monitoring. Therefore, the mobile middleware can perform energy-efficient context monitoring, required by the context-aware application programs.

  • METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING FUEL TANK LEAKS, AND APPARATUS APPLYING SAME
    Publication number: 20130297177
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for diagnosing the leak of a fuel tank are disclosed. The leak of the fuel tank is immediately diagnosed when a vehicle is stopped by controlling the pressure of the fuel tank during the driving of the vehicle. Even if negative pressure is not formed when the vehicle is stopped, or the diagnosis rate of the fuel tank has to be increased, the leak of the fuel tank is able to be easily diagnosed.
