This study compares and analyzes user experiences of intelligent personal assistant services based on the evaluation criteria of human-computer interaction to explore positive elements of user experiences and factors that could be improved. The research was conducted on Apple's Siri, Google's Google Associate, and Samsung's Bixby, which is presently the smartest personal assistant service on the market. The research method was to compare and analyze the concepts and characteristics of the current services through a literature review and by interviewing seven UI/UX design experts for the second 2 weeks using contextual inquiry. The interview reorganized Peter Morville's user experience honeycomb, reducing his seven usability principles down to five, asking questions about usability, convenience, visual attractiveness, reliability, and satisfaction. On the basis of the reconfigured usability principle, the assessment was conducted on the basis of the assessment timing and the system usability scale. This study is meaningful in that it analyzed the user experience of artificial intelligence personal assistant services both quantitatively and qualitatively.

지금까지 디지털 기기의 진화 과정을 볼 때 오직 기능적 발전만이 추구되고 그것을 사용하는 사용방식에 대한 진지한 고민은 부재하였다. 때문에 디지털 기기가 갖고 있는 버튼 위주의 획일적 사용방식은 사용자보다는 기기 중심의 디자인이 우선시되는 사회적 병리현상을 야기하고 있다. 반면 오랜 기간 인간이 다루어 온 전통적인 아날로그 도구들은 작업의 특성과 작업자의 상황에 맞도록 다양한 사용성을 고려하며 진화되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사용자들에게 익숙한 아날로그적 경험을 디지털 기기의 인터랙션 디자인에 적용시켜 보다 인간 중심적인 디지털 도구를 제안 하고자 한다. 연구의 목표는 다양한 기능이 복합된 대표적 디지털 기기인 휴대폰에 아날로그 경험을 접목시킴으로써 전통적인 도구들과 같이 디지털 기기의 자연스러운 인터랙션 스타일을 디자인하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 한정된 디바이스로 다양한 기능들을 조작해야 하는 모바일 기기에 적합한 아날로그 경험들에 대한 연구가 진행되었고, 기호와 조합으로 이루어진 카드놀이 메타포에서 그 단서를 발견할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 메타포로 제시한 카드놀이를 하며 일어나는 행위와 경험을 멀티미디어 휴대폰에 접목시켜 새로운 사용 방식을 제안하는 것이다. 예를 들어, 메뉴 선택의 경우 카드를 펼쳐 원하는 카드를 뽑으면 되는데 아래로 펼치면 그 카드의 수직 메뉴가, 옆으로 펼치면 그 카드의 수평 메뉴가 나타난다. 또 메뉴 안의 내용을 찾을 때는 카드를 뒤로 넘겨서 보게 되고 자신만의 개인적인 내용을 보고자 할 때는 카드를 은밀히 보는 듯한 행위를 취하면 된다. 즉 멀티미디어 폰 안의 내용뿐 아니라 사용하는 행위 자체도 하나의 즐거움이 되도록 카드놀이 경험을 새로운 인터랙션 스타일로 개발하여 그 가능성을 연구하였다.

The purpose of this study was to understand how participants' experiences of participating in self-sufficiency projects were. To do this, we analyzed phenomenological methods using in-depth interview data of 48 participants from the Central Self-Sufficiency Foundation, which is qualitative data of the "Project for Strengthening Self-Support for the Working Poor". The study revealed 214 meaningful statements and general re-statements, 24 themes, 9 themes cluster, and 5 categories. Participants' experience was found to be forced work, felt alienated from the self-sufficiency business, and could not receive a clear vision for the future. At the same time, the experience of participating is an opportunity for motivation for change in one's own life, and the essence of becoming a stepping stone to move forward for self-reliance has been derived. Based on the results of this study, we proposed a practical policy task to create a positive expectation effect.
