– Life-friendly (5) individual sleep management, intelligent management of children’s nutrition, etc. –
– Solving social problems (7) Hazardous chemical disaster prediction, smart elevator management, etc. –

□ The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Information and Communication Industry Promotion Agency announced that they would start a full-scale project to spread the application of intelligent IoT to create public benefits in various fields of life and industry and to discover killer services that applied new intelligent IoT technologies.

□ In line with the recent digital transformation following COVID-1919, digital technology is expected to play an important role in enriching individual lives and solving various social issues, such as safety issues that are of high public interest.

ㅇ In particular, the intelligent Internet of Things is attracting attention as a representative digital technology that utilizes various digital objects and artificial intelligence that are close to our lives.

□ Accordingly, this year, MSIT has donated a total of 12 billion won to 85.5 tasks such as smart home, disaster safety, agriculture, forestry, livestock, and fishery, focusing on themes such as ① life-related and ② social problem solving in order to discover tasks with high public performance. decided to focus on support.

ㅇ Through this year’s task contest, applications from 200 consortiums with more than 55 companies (organizations) were received, and the final support tasks were selected in consideration of the topic/support field and the possibility of application/spreading. same.

󰊱 Living-friendly Intelligent Internet of Things (AIoT) Tasks (5 Tasks)

① Individual sleep management system

ㅇ Artificial intelligence (AI) analyzes information such as personal heart rate, respiration, and sleep depth according to the sleeping environment collected by the sensor, and controls lighting, scent, temperature, etc. so that individuals can have a comfortable sleep, recently emerging as a social problem It is a system that supports insomnia, lack of sleep, and light sleep.

② Intelligent nutrition management system for children

ㅇ It is a system that can quickly analyze the nutritional intake of many children at daycare centers and kindergartens through a food scanner. The image scanner compares the state of food before and after meals, and intelligently analyzes the type and amount of food consumed by children.

ㅇ Through this, it is possible to check the actual nutritional intake compared to the recommended amount for each individual child, and to provide customized health care services such as improving unsuitable eating, educating correct eating habits, and supporting children's weight management.

③ Voice recognition unmanned store order terminal (kiosk) for the digitally vulnerable

ㅇ It is a service that responds to customers as if an unmanned store ordering terminal (kiosk) communicates through voice recognition and chatbot (chatbot), and provides order and payment guidance.

ㅇ It is expected to provide convenience so that digitally vulnerable groups such as the elderly who have difficulty using order terminals (kiosks) can use it widely.

④ Artificial intelligence-based ordering terminal (kiosk) for the disabled, etc.

ㅇ (1) ordering terminals (kiosks) where AI supports Braille printing and sign language/voice recognition for the disabled who visit the hospital; (2) AI creates music based on user preferences and robotics instruments Services that automatically control and play were also selected.

󰊲 Social Problem Solving Intelligent Internet of Things (AIoT) Tasks (7 Tasks)

① Hazardous Chemicals Industrial Facility Disaster Safety Prediction System

ㅇ A system in which sensors monitor hazardous substances in industrial facilities, and artificial intelligence provides predictive results of toxic substances and fires according to indoor and outdoor environmental variables such as weather. is expected to support

② Elevator smart maintenance service

ㅇ By measuring the vibration and noise of elevator parts, artificial intelligence predicts the signs of failure and remaining life of each part, and when the signs of failure are predicted, an emergency dispatch notification is provided to the elevator inspector.

ㅇ It is expected that this will minimize the failure rate of elevators and prevent safety accidents such as elevator users, which have become essential facilities.

③ Artificial intelligence (AI)-based Korean beef meat quantity and body fullness index prediction system

ㅇ Through a smartphone app, artificial intelligence analyzes images of Korean and beef cattle photo shoots and predicts beef meat quality, etc.

ㅇ Previously, ultrasound technology to know the amount of beef was used, but a professional manpower (reader) was required, and although there was a high demand for an obesity meter to replace it, there was a problem that it was difficult to use the farmhouse as only expensive products were supplied to the market.

ㅇ By providing information about the optimal slaughtering time through this app, it is expected to improve the productivity of the livestock economy by supporting farmers to make the most profit compared to the cost of breeding.

④ Integrated safety control of shared electric kickboard

ㅇ As a system to prevent accidents with shared electric kickboards, which are increasing every year, the video artificial intelligence installed in the kickboard automatically decelerates and stops in dangerous situations such as possible pedestrian collisions, parking) to provide rewards and penalties.

ㅇ It is expected to reduce safety accidents with electric kickboards and solve inconvenience caused by indiscriminate neglect of kickboards on the road.

⑤ Artificial intelligence (AI)-based public/official vehicle management service

ㅇ Support efficient management, such as optimizing dispatch reservations so that a small number of vehicles can be operated by analyzing usage patterns such as the main usage period and usage cycle of users of public and official vehicles used by a large number of people.

⑥ Health management for senior citizens living alone

ㅇ (1) Service that takes care of depression and health by analyzing behaviors such as the frequency of going out, number of calls, and TV viewing time of the elderly living alone through a simple attachable touch sensor, (2) parking an internal combustion locomotive at an electric vehicle charging station, A service that supports guidance and enforcement by recognizing long-term parking beyond the charging time by video AI was also selected.

□ MSIT Kim Jeong-sam, Information Security Network Policy Officer, said, “The intelligent Internet of Things is becoming a core foundation leading the digital transformation by convergence with digital things, artificial intelligence, and high-speed network technology.” saying,

ㅇ “Through these support tasks, we expect that the intelligent Internet of Things will create meaningful results that can protect our safety and health and improve the quality of our daily life.”
