Purpose: The purposes of this study were to understand the health interest of consumers in the United States and Japan and thus understand the motivation of food choices, in order to provide basic data on the country's strategy based on healthy and correct food choices in the future. Methods: A customer survey was conducted in 2019 from October 18 to 31, and it targeted 115 American and 120 Japanese local consumers between the ages of 20- to 64-years-old. Eight questions were formed using General Health Interest. Based on food choice motivation, 27 questions were reconstructed and asked about demographic information. All data were analyzed by SPSS Statistics (ver. 25). Results: Health consciousness was categorized into 2 types: nutrition-seeking type and preference-seeking type. Based on these 2 factors, customers were grouped into 3 clusters: healthy dietary life-seeking group, nutrition balance-seeking group and health indifference group. Food choice motivation was categorized into 4 types: health, efficiency, value, and mood. All 3 groups showed a high tendency for efficiency in common. The results show that consumers want higher satisfaction with their time and money invested in food consumption. It is believed that the focus and investment of market segmentation strategy should be focused on product development, especially for American and Japanese consumers who are interested in health. Conclusion: The results of this study reflect consumer needs that can assist in the selection of healthy and correct foods in the future.

본 연구는 카탈로그와 케이블 TV, 인터넷 홈쇼핑 정보전달 매체별로 의류제품에 대한 소비자의 인식 및 기대 수준을 비교 분석하여 홈쇼핑의 정보전달 매체 개발에 기초적인 자료를 구축하기 위하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사 대상자는 20세 이상의 카탈로그 홈쇼핑사 회원 219명, 케이블 TV 홈쇼핑사 회원 213명, 네티즌 972명이었다. 매체별 이용자의 분포는 카탈로그와 케이블 TV 홈쇼핑의 경우 여성과 기혼자가 많았고 직업은 주부와 사무직이 많았다. 반면 인터넷 이용자는 남성과 미혼자가 많았고 직업은 사무직이 많았다. 학력은 세 매체 모두 응답자의 절반 이상이 대졸 이상으로 교육수준이 높았다. 설문조사 결과 의류 홈쇼핑에 대한 매체별 소비자의 인식은 다음과 같았다. 1. 케이블 TV 홈쇼핑 이용자들은 케이블 TV를 통해 판매되는 의류제품이 디자인, 색상이 다양하며, 제품의 소재나 품질, 치수에 대한 정보도 충분하다고 느끼며 의류의 품질 신뢰도와 구매의사도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 통신판매를 이용해서 의류를 구매해 본 경험이 있는 집단은 구매를 경험하지 못한 집단보다 구매의사도 높으며 통신판매에 대한 신뢰성도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 케이블 TV 홈쇼핑을 통해 의류제품을 구매해 본 경험이 있는 집단이 의류제품 정보의 다양성에 대한 만족감과 품질 신뢰성이 가장 높았다. 3. 매체와 성별의 차이를 살펴본 결과 케이블 TV를 이용하는 여성은 의류제품의 다양성, 충분한 제품정보, 품질의 신뢰성, 구매의사에 가장 긍정적인 인식을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 케이블 TV를 이용하는 기혼자와 고소득자가 다른 집단보다 의류제품의 다양성, 제품정보와 품질 신뢰성, 구매의사에서 가장 긍정적인 인식을 가진 집단이었다. 본 연구의 결과는 케이블 TV 홈쇼핑은 카탈로그와 인터넷에 비해 소비자의 욕구를 충족시키는 제품과 소개방식으로 의류를 판매하고 있으며, 특히 의류제품 구매 경험이 있고 고소득층이며 기혼인 여성들을 만족시킬만한 다양한 상품을 구비하고 자세한 제품정보를 제공하며 품질에 대한 신뢰를 심어 주어 긍정적인 구매의사를 갖도록 유도하고 있는 것으로 해석된다.

The Metaverse's virtual world is used in various industries and is expected to continue to grow in the future. In addition, the Metaverse is a new type of society that integrates various new technologies, and NFT products play an essential role. Therefore, NFT product characteristics and industry trends should be assessed to revitalize the NFT market. To this end, this study confirms the influence relationship between social presence and NFT product characteristics in the Metaverse environment and examines the impact of each characteristic on consumer satisfaction and continued engagement intention to NFT product. Statistical analysis such as exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) using IBM SPSS Amos was conducted on data collected through a survey targeting male and female Korean consumers in their age group 10 to 50. Study results indicate that social presence significantly impacted all characteristics of NFT products (authenticity, scarcity, rarity, collectability, and interactivity). Scarcity and authenticity significantly impacted consumer satisfaction, and both authenticity and consumer satisfaction significantly impacted continued engagement intention. Thus, effective product development and marketing strategies can be established only by presenting different emphasized characteristics depending on the type of NFT product and the Metaverse's social presence.

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.

Body sizing of has been recognized as an important element affecting the degree of customer satisfaction in the apparel industry. Recent developments in IT technologies have enabled more studies in custom-made apparel systems that comply with the diverse demands from customers in many countries. Diverse methods to obtain personal physical size are being studied. This study estimates the accuracy by developing the system in which the data of length and girth can be calculated through changing a modeling by comparing the data with circular 3-dimensional physical configuration data. This information was computed from the process (such as the conversion to a standardize image) which utilizes the image capture of 2-dimensional three sides (front, side, and rear), contour tracing, and key-node selection and by realizing it in the real world.
