Review of Capacitive Touchscreen Technologies: Overview, Research Trends, and Machine Learning Approaches

Touchscreens have been studied and developed for a long time to provide user-friendly and intuitive interfaces on displays. This paper describes the touchscreen technologies in four categories of resistive, capacitive, acoustic wave, and optical methods. Then, it addresses the main studies of SNR improvement and stylus support on the capacitive touchscreens that have been widely adopted in most consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and notebook PCs. In addition, the machine learning approaches for capacitive touchscreens are explained in four applications of user identification/authentication, gesture detection, accuracy improvement, and input discrimination.

Bluetooth Beacon-Based Mine Production Management Application to Support Ore Haulage Operations in Underground Mines

In this study, a mine production management application (app) using a Bluetooth beacon and tablet PC was developed to support the efficient operation of an underground mine loading-transport system. The app receives signals from the Bluetooth beacons attached to major loading points and crushing sites through the tablet PC mounted on the truck and records the time the signals were received as well as the location of the truck. In addition, when the tablet PC receives the signal from the Bluetooth beacon, the truck driver can select and input information such as loading point, ore type, and dumping method on the tablet PC screen. Data recorded on the tablet PC during the haulage operation are automatically transmitted to the cloud server when the truck arrives in a wireless communication area. The cloud server continuously stores and manages data transmitted from multiple trucks equipped with tablet PCs. The performance test was conducted by using the system developed for a limestone underground mine located in Jeongseon, Korea. Results confirmed that the information related to ore production in the field could be effectively collected and managed, and the efficiency of production management could be improved.

Game Edukasi Museum Adityawarman Berbasis Android

Museum is a vehicle that has a strategic role in strengthening people's identity. One of the museums that exhibits historical relics is the State Museum of West Sumatra Province, known as the Adityarwan Museum. The Adityawarman Museum is the most important cultural museum in West Sumatra. The museum functions as a place to store and preserve historical objects, such as: Minangkabau cultural heritage, Mentawai cultural heritage and other archipelago cultural heritage. The use of smartphones, iPads, playbooks, tablet PCs and the like is more widely used today for various reasons and choices than PCs (Personal Computers) at home. In addition, there are many game features that are not only for entertainment, but there are already many games to hone thinking and logic that can educate children. Android is an operating system for Linux-based mobile devices which includes an operating system, middleware, and applications. Android provides an open platform for developers to create their applications. Android is the operating system that powers more than a billion smartphones and tablets

Self-Controllable Mobile App Protection Scheme Based on Binary Code Splitting

Mobile apps are booming with the expansion of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, smartwatches, and IoT devices. As the capabilities of mobile apps and the types of personal information required to run apps have diversified, the need for increased security has grown. In particular, Android apps are vulnerable to repackaging attacks, so various code protection techniques such as obfuscation and packing have been applied. However, apps protected with these techniques can also be disabled with static and dynamic analyses. In recent years, instead of using such application level protection techniques, a number of approaches have been adopted to monitor the behavior of apps at the platform level. However, in these cases, not only incompatibility of system software due to platform modification, but also self-control functionality cannot be provided at the user level and is very inconvenient. Therefore, in this paper we propose an app protection scheme that can split a part of the app code, store it in a separate IoT device, and self-control the split code through the partial app. In the proposed scheme, the partial app is executed only when it matches the split code stored in the IoT device. It does not require complicated encryption techniques to protect the code like the existing schemes. It also provides solutions to the parameter dependency and register reallocation issues that must be considered when implementing the proposed code splitting scheme. Finally, we present and analyze the results of experimenting the proposed scheme on real devices.
