As the number of successful design innovation product cases in business increases, interest in design innovation is increasing. This study aims to examine how the design innovation (functionality, ergonomics, aesthetics) of Bluetooth speaker products affects the customer's preference and purchase intention. It proposes a research model through rational behavior theory (TRA) and technology acceptance model (TAM) for empirical research. The questionnaire was composed of questions to understand the influence of design innovation, favorability, and purchase intention. As a result of the study, functionality, ergonomics, and aesthetics influenced product preference and purchase intention. In order for the innovative product of Bluetooth speaker design to be accepted in the early market, it is most important to form a positive attitude toward favorability centering on function and aesthetics. Favorability is a factor that has the most decisive influence on the purchase intention of design innovation products, and companies must discover and reinforce various factors that positively affect the preference.

Today's liquor culture in Korea is basically divided into a general liquor culture and a functional liquor culture. In particular, the market of the latter has been going through a rapid change. In the previous days, it was a crop for a special purpose or a fruit which was mostly used to make liquor but now, many other regular crops are being used in the liquor market. At present, while the demand for Makgeolli has risen sharply, the designs of Makgeolli bottles have never satisfied needs from consumers nor the trends in the consumer market. As a result, Makgeolli industry should come up with new designs for the bottles immediately if it dose not want to lose in a competition with other liquor products. The study has looked into existing designs of Makgeolli bottles, investigating how the designs have changed over the past years and how competitive they are in the market. Based on results from the investigation, the study focuses on finding out designs which would fit the trends in the consumer market to develop Makgolli bottles which would be equipped with both functionality and practicality. In other words, to make Makgeolli survive in these rapid changes in the liquor market, the study works on offering a Makgeolli bottle design which is appropriate for certain characteristics of Makeolli and also competitive over other liquor bottles.

This study examined the relationship of what kind of creative thinking has as factors for emotion design products for consumers focusing on the successful cases of emotion products. For the design creativity attribute used in this experiment, the design evaluation creativity tools revealed in Kim Eun-Ju's 2007 design creativity evaluation tool development were used mostly MP3s, which have various forms, functions and sizes were selected as the target for experiment. Results of the experiment showed that for design creativeness items for MP3 as single products, uniqueness, favorableness and convenience were relevant. Accordingly, the common features of design creativeness items for emotional products were identified. According to the result, for emotional designs, the interest level of uniqueness for the design creativity evaluation items and the functional items for practicality had a high relativity. Therefore, there is a need to examine the common features between the design creativity items for products other than MP3s in the future.

Medical color graphic research will serve as the basis for globally expanding and disseminating the design quality of the company's products through the era of production of medical robots. This study was based on technologies and contents suitable for the era of medical robot bed expansion, universal medical color application, ergonomic color, etc. In addition, the medical bed robot's color research direction was presented from the perspective of universal design. Accordingly, a universal color design was proposed, taking the functions of a medical robot under development by a domestic company as an example. The characteristics of this robot bed can be divided into three types of functions: first, treatment characteristics for prevention of pressure ulcers with curative, second, automatic seat exchange with cleanliness for medical environment, and third, Convenient, which can implement patient transport. The main idea is to present a combination of functional colors appropriate for this. The resulting color analysis and universal color design techniques could be a useful methodology for illustrating the appearance and function of a modern medical robot bed.

As a part of integrated study for technical communication between consumer and manufacturer of functional clothing, functional clothing consumers were categorized based on their perception of the functional outdoor jacket and the differences in the source of information and use of hang-tag were examined according to the groups. Questionnaire survey was conducted on 472 males and females in their 20s to 60s, who have experience of purchasing functional outdoor jackets. Perception of functional outdoor jackets was classified into four factors ('functionality', 'price', 'experience/knowledge' and 'brand/design') and the respondents were categorized into three groups according to the factors: 'unconversant/brand & design pursuing group', 'conversant/function pursuing group' and 'high-priced products preferring group'. 'Unconversant/brand & design pursuing group' was composed of high rate of office workers and students in their 20s and 30s who use internet most frequently as source of information while 'conversant/function pursuing group' was composed of high rate of professionals in their 40s and 50s who make the most frequent use of information on hang-tag. 'High-priced products preferring group', which has high rate of the elderly in their 60s and housewives, obtain their information mainly from salespersons. 'Unconversant/brand & design pursuing group' was satisfied with functional information more than other two groups and 'conversant/function pursuing group' concerned for the hang-tag and required more explanation of terminology used in hang-tag. The results effectively explained the features of consumer groups and their different responses toward the information of functional outdoor jacket.

The purpose of this study is to propose the criteria for evaluating web information resources. This study also attempts to get a sense of the overall quality of web information resources and to identify the relationship among the criteria, Particularly those on the science and technology. Three evaluation categories are Proposed; information content functionality or workability, and design. Core features of information content includes authority, relevancy, currency; functionality includes navigation, user support technical requirements; layout and design includes visual appearance. Based on the proposed criteria, the 50 sample web resources selected from 5 different field were evaluated. The results showed that the web information resources on the Electrical and Electronic Engineering field was excellent. The Pearson's correlation coefficient between evaluation criteria showed that information content and functionality had a negative relationship, on the other hand functionality and design had a moderate correlation.

기술의 발달로 인하여 제품의 특징과 편익이 제품을 선택하는데 있어서의 중요성이 약화되었다. 이로 인하여 제품의 기능성을 바탕으로 하여, 사용성 더 나아가 제품을 사용하는데 있어서의 즐거움을 제공하는 것이 기업의 성공에 큰 영향을 끼치게 되었다. 이러한 제품의 기능성, 사용성, 사용하는데 있어서의 즐거움 같은 요소들이 통합되어 제품을 사용하는데 있어서의 사용자의 경험을 이루게 된다. 이러한 경험을 실제 디자인과 연관 짓는데 있어서 경험이라는 것 자체가 정성적이고 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있고, 추상적이어서 진정한 의미의 경험디자인의 단계에 이르지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무수한 요소와 여러 환경 적인 영향을 받는 복잡한 사용자 경험에 대하여, 여러 방면에서 연구되고 있는 사용자 경험의 요소들을 종합하여 그 구조 규명하였다. 또한 사용자 경험의 요소와 그 경험을 가능하게 해주는 제품의 디자인 팩터들을 정의하여, 이러한 요소들이 어떤 관계성을 갖고 어떠한 요소에 의해 영향을 받는지에 대하여 모델링 하였다.
