The paradigm of a product taking a sudden turn of technical development is due to a change of the needs of diversified user, and this shows that users emphasizes on the value of the sensitivity than the standardized form and usableness of the product, and the value of such a sensitivity can relate to the needs of the product, and it can be filled up eventually by the rapid completion of the product. The creativity will be the most important ability in the future society, it is an added value to all the profession workers which people can use that to increase their competitiveness ability. It is recognized the value of the sensitivity represents the feels psychological aspect of the user and it would be the future design trend, by doing this, products designed would be different from the existing products in the market. I am going to show you that this can be used in the design concept derivation process, there is several core design elements in the product development process, these elements can not only represent the basic user needs but also the user inner unconscious needs, at the same time it keeps the aesthetic concern.

Any theme of human being has its own goal, process, and means. In this respect, the subsystems of society comprises of ideology, norm and customs, and technology and economy. Similarly, culture has its subsystems like value, norm, and tool. These three cultural subsystems have relationships with design in terms of symbolic value, aesthetic form and functionality respectively. The society is now experiencing structural changes, getting out of industrial society md, accordingly, design is extending its scope to new domain out of the past physical concept. These changes are not just from design itself but they are from supra-system of design like changes of culture and society. In these respects, the study focuses on identifying the future direction of design education with the emphasis on the relationships between changes in design and society.

This research premises that design failure in the market can stem partially from the gap between designer's communication intension through design and consumer's signification for design. Therefore, it's necessary that designers should examine and understand consumer's signification process for design factors or overall design images that they consider in the design process. For this, this research suggests that understanding consumer's signification process is possible by performing value categorization, consumer segmentation, value identification of main target consumers and relationship examination between value of target consumers and design attributes based on Means-End model by reviewing various theoretical backgrounds. In addition, this research suggests contents and methods for performing each step of understanding consumer's signification process. Also, Laddering was suggested as a method for the study and a case study was performed by it. Finally this research claims that understanding consumer's signification process can be one of the methods that decrease failure possibility rather increase success possibility of design in the market.

This study aimed to assess the economic value of the UX design and applied contingent valuation method (CVM) to the three smartphone screen unlock interface types: touch, fingerprint, and iris recognition. The contingent valuation method was chosen from various economic valuation approaches because the interface components such as the screen unlock are important user experience values but non-market goods which are not traded independently. Using the double-bounded dichotomous choice approach of the contingent valuation method, the survey results of the logit model showed that the economic value of touch unlock interface was 529 won, fingerprint was 4,214 won, and iris recognition was 1,316 won. That is, the fingerprint interface had the highest economic value, followed by iris recognition and touch interface. The main contribution of this research is that we examined a method for economic valuation of the UX design and generated systematic and credible results.

The purpose of this study was to propose a "user experience (UX)-centered product development process" so that the product design development process using the service design process can be systematized and used in practice. In a situation in which usability research on office phones is lacking compared to general home phones, this study expands to a product-based service design point of view rather than simple product development, intending to research ways to provide user experience value through office phone design in smart office. This study focused on extracting UX-centered user needs using the service design process and developing product design that realizes user experience value. In particular, the service design process was applied to systematically extract user needs and experience value elements in the product development process and to discover ideas that were converged with product-based services. For this purpose, the "Double Diamond Design Process Model," which is widely used in the service design field, was adopted. In addition, a product design development process was established so that usability improvement plans, user experience value elements, and product-service connected ideas could be extracted through a work-flow in which real users and people from various fields participate. Based on the double diamond design process, in the "Discover" information collection stage, design trends were identified mainly in the office phone markets. In the "Define" analysis and extraction stage, user needs were analyzed through user observation, interview, and usability survey, and design requirements and user experience issues were extracted. Persona was set through user type analysis, and user scenarios were presented. In the "Develop" development stage, ideation workshops and concept renderings were conducted to embody the design, and people from various fields within the company participated to set the design direction reflecting design preference and usability improvement plans. In the "Deliver" improvement/prototype development/evaluation stage, a working mock-up of a design prototype was produced and design and usability evaluation were conducted through consultation with external design experts. It is meaningful that it established a "UX-centered product development process" model that converged with the existing product design development process and service design process. Ultimately, service design-based product design development process was presented so that I Corp.'s products could realize user experience value through service convergence.

The existing market patterns and social structures have been changed according to the trends of digital and informational society of the 21st century. The characteristics of the consumption market is that the balance of power moves from enterprises to consumers. As consumers’ demands are diversified according to life quality enhancement, many products are based on main aspects of human experiences, emotions and values. Standardized functions and services of products cannot capture consumers to a great extent any more. A notable aspect is that consumers want products or services that can oner movable experiences. Future products must appeal to emotion, not to reason of consumers. Now consumers purchase styles, experiences and stories contained in products, not products themselves. That is, the key to decision to purchase products is the satisfaction of emotional values. Users'emotions diversified due to the development of industrial designs demand the development of new designs that can represent new trends of users. User-centered values imply the change of people's purchasing trends. This indicates that there is a need to change physical aspects such as price or functions into individual emotions and characters. In addition, studies are required on design concepts to pursue new emotional values, apart from functional type designs. It is time for designers to suggest initiative and rational directions for this changing era.

We need to seek after new direction and order of design that puts more value on the spirits and culture of human beings in the 21st century, creating a new, all-inclusive value in which individual human being, the society and the environment can co-exist in a peaceful relationship by overcoming the materialistic, analytical, competitive, and differentiated values of traditional industrial society. The aim of this study, then, is to present a new method of design that can meet the demands of the 21st century in a civic age of information, knowledge and culture, by focusing on Monistic ideals derived from a deeply rooted Oriental philosophy. The concept of Monism is embodied by a mind set that treasures the benefit to others over rewards to the self, puts more importance on the spiritual life hidden behind physical phenomena, thinks more of what lacks than what exceeds, elevates the mind over the body, and seeks after beauty via a total harmony of balance and development that can be feasible only by combining all these elements. Ultimately, the new design principle based on the Monism consists of three basic elements: (1) identification of the subject and the object between things under the perception that all things are one (Unification); (2) the ability that helps things exist with appropriate beauty maintaining balance and stability (Harmony); and (3) the attitude of sharing to maintain sustainable vitality by filling up what lacks or is missing in a whole(Change).

오늘날 세계적인 국제화 조류는 싫든 좋든 자국의 시장을 개방하고, 세계 각국의 제품들과 경쟁을 벌여야 하는데, 이때 강력한 경쟁력의 수단이 되는 것은 결국 자국의 문화와 그에 바탕을 둔 상품가치의 개발이며, 바로 여기에서 디자인은 그러한 상품가치를 담아내는 구체적인 그릇인 것이다. (중략)
