Evaluation analysis of defect materials for IoT embedded system

Abstract

As the copyright disputes caused by illegal copy of IoT devices are increasing, it is required to judge the similarity to the embedded system such as Set-Top-Box and IPTV. However, due to the characteristics of the system, it is difficult to obtain the objective materials to evaluate the similarity. In this paper, we analyze evaluation items and the utility of results to determine the similarity in the case of difficulty in securing the materials in the dispute of the embedded system. Embedded systems figure out with hardware, software, and operating systems that work together. It is possible to set evaluation items such as circuit board configuration, connection pattern, signal input/ output method, operation sequence, and GUI expression, even if there is no program source. Also, it is shown that the similarity between hardware and software can be verified as a result of comparison between both sides. The verification object is the essential data for judging the similarity of both sides, and it is an important data to perform the one-to-one comparison with the object. In this paper, we propose that evaluation items can be set by utilizing the characteristics of the system even when the object is insufficient, suggesting the possibility that it can be used as a useful proof for copyright dispute.
