Materialism can be triggered by various social events. Based on theories on functions of materialistic goal pursuit, this study investigates how social exclusion evokes desires related to one's identity, resulting in an increase in materialism. Specifically, we predicted that social exclusion would increase the desire for control and belonging, thus leading to higher levels of materialism. Moreover, based on the theory of the approach tendency of power, we further predicted that individuals with a higher sense of power would experience greater desires for belonging and control when faced with social exclusion. To examine the hypotheses, we conducted an experiment using 202 Korean women. The results indicated that social exclusion resulted in an increase in the desire for control, thus increasing materialism. This relationship is stronger for individuals with a high sense of power, and the path from social exclusion to materialism based on the need for control is significant for those with a high sense of power. Although social exclusion increases the need to belonging, the relationship between the need to belonging and materialism is not significant, and its mediating effect was not supported in this study. Based on these findings, we discussed implications and directions for future research.

Anger cause heart disease and domestic violence and recently there have been an increasing number of media reports of crimes committed because of their inability to control their anger. Anger has been reported to cause massive financial losses due to heart disease and domestic violence. Therefore, since anger raises serious social problems and social costs, it is necessary to take active intervention methods to alleviate inappropriate anger coping. A variety of methods such as cognitive and emotional approach, psycho-mechanical approach, psycho-educational approach, relaxation therapy, cognitive behavior-art therapy, and stress immunization are being explored and utilized for presenting effective anger-coping intervention alternatives. In this manner, information and communication technology is likely to be used as an effective means for this, and various researches are being conducted. The purpose of this study is to develop an anger coping service technology using ICT (Information & Communication Technology) technology as an effort to improve anger coping ability. In other words, the goal is to develop a technology that delays anger and evokes the surroundings by providing location-based services to recognize anger situations and facilitate anger. This research is about the technology which intervene directly the anger situation to resolve it using location information and introduce the base technology to realize it.

When a product is designed, user's requirements should be well analyzed and applied to the design so that the psychological and aesthetic factors of a product can be accurately conveyed to consumers. The essence of product development is to analyze the changes in the purchasing tendency of consumers and the needs of times, find out user experiences to apply to a design, and establish the objective of product development that well considers those. Designing should be recognized as one that designs even the sensitivity and experience created in the relationship with users, beyond the conventional notion of design that it draws the physical form of a product. As the subjects that design should consider have expanded like this, it has become important that today's design provides a new experience as well as simply develops formative elements based on the functions of an object. As a result, it becomes impossible to accomplish such objective only with the traditional design process that existing designers have stuck to so far. In this respect, this study is aimed to draw out a system and methodology for a user-oriented design process so that design can provide expanded experience to users from product form, applied material, and service.

요즈음 각종 미디어를 통해 '디지로그' 라는 신조어가 주목 받고 있다. 디지로그의 핵심은 디지털 기반의 이분법적인 사고의 틀을 보완하기 위해 아날로그적인 감성의 도입을 의미한다. 이는 기능중심적인사고로 해결할 수 없는 인간과 컴퓨터의 간극을 새롭게 조명할 수 있는 기회를 제공함으로서 HCI 문제의 새로운 대안으로 떠오르고 있다. 기존 생활가전제품 인터페이스의 중요한 목적은 사용성, 유용성과 같은 기능적인 측면 이었다. 이는 제품자체의 목적을 그 기능에 국한하였기 때문이다. 하지만 현재 에어컨, 냉장고와 같은 생활 가전제품들의 위상은 기능을 넘어 집안의 인테리어의 요소로써의 역할 뿐만 아니라 자신을 대변 할 수 있는 혹은 과시하고 싶은 명품 이미지로써 점차 자리잡기 시작하였다. 또한 TFT Color LCD의 도입은 제품의 상태를 단순히 전달해 주는 단계를 벗어나 심미적인 표현까지 가능하게 해주었다. 이를 계기로 수채화 표현기법과 같은 아날로그 메타포를 활용한 감성적 인터페이스가 시도될 수 있었다. 아날로그 메다포를 활용한 디지털 가전 인터페이스의 첫 번째 단계는 스타일이다. 아날로그적인 스타일을 가장 대표적으로 보여주는 것은 바로 회화영역이다. 에어컨 공기청정기능의 프로그레시브 영역에 수채화로 표현된 산과 들을 보여줌으로서 인터페이스가 하나의 풍경화로서의 접근이 가능하게 된다. 이는 소비자들에게 정신적인 만족감과 더불어 제품의 프리미엄의 이미지를 각인시킨다. 두 번째 단계는 스토리이다. 기능을 디지털의 On/Off에 의거하여 나열 하기보다 기능과 기능사이의 문맥을 스토리로 연결함으로서 아날로그적인 접근이 가능하다. 이러한 스토리의 기준은 사용자의 경험에 기인하여 만들어지게 된다. 마지막으로 활용할 수 있는 단계는 컨텐츠이다. 이제는 한가지로 집중된 기능만으로는 사용자를 만족 시킬 수 없다. 사용자에게 인간적인 체온이 느껴지는 아날로그적인 컨텐츠를 제공함으로서 인터페이스 자체로 감동을 줄 수 있게 된다. 이와 같은 변화는 디지털제품의 궁극적인 목표가 사용자에게 있다는 것을 다시 한번 확인시켜준다. 이제는 똑똑하고 편리한 인터페이스를 넘어 사용자체가 감성적 만족감을 주는 매력적인 인터페이스로 진화 하고 있는 것이다.

The aim of this paper is to design an intelligent character manipulation system suitable for the wireless broadband network environment named as Wibro and for the recent social networking service (SNS). The main feature of our proposed system is an automatic synthesis of a character utilizing the meta data which is attached to each component stored in a character database. It is the second advantageous feature that a user can make or modify his or her own character by modifying the component animation clip of its character. Once the character database is created, it can be represented and utilized in several ways by utilizing the meta data which is related to personal properties including emotion, life style, favorite things, and so on. The system can be evolved to a more powerful one by adopting the more user-related information and the more intelligent synthesis module.

In this paper, we proposed the skin color based hand and finger detection technology for the gesture recognition in CCTV surveillance. The aim of this paper is to present the methodology for hand detection and propose the finger detection method. The detected hand and finger can be used to implement the non-contact mouse. This technology can be used to control the home devices such as home-theater and television. Skin color is used to segment the hand region from background and contour is extracted from the segmented hand. Analysis of contour gives us the location of finger tip in the hand. After detecting the location of the fingertip, this system tracks the fingertip by using only R channel alone, and in recognition of hand motions to apply differential image, such as the removal of useless image shows a robust side. We explain about experiment which relates in fingertip tracking and finger gestures recognition, and experiment result shows the accuracy above 96%.

Visual tactility implies feelings of touch through sight. To be exact, the eyes are doing the touch rather than the body and the subject concerned will experience the sensation of touch by looking at an object similar to that of physical touch. This is quasi tactility to put it simply and it can be defined as to touch with the eyes. This can not only provide opportunities to experience something close to reality but also another completely different form of modern experience. Experiencing visual tactility through the use of the web permits lavish communication between the user and the designer. This paper has reorganize the concept of visual tactility, characteristic and way to use in digital contents. Visual tactility stimulates the users' emotion as such. If it was to be utilized to develop edutainment contents or web sites will foster children's capability to develope problem solving skills and raise efficiency in creative learning, and prolong the period of concentration in order to encourage revisits to the place and extend the time of stay.
