With the development of virtual reality (VR) and blockchain technology, Metaverse is being used in various fields such as games, education, and social networking. At the same time, shipments of wearable devices such as smartwatches are growing every year, becoming more and more integrated into people's daily lives. This study presents a new possibility of reflecting the user's body signals measured through the combination of the two phenomena in the metaverse character. Various biometric information such as the user's heart rate and amount of exercise collected through the smartwatch are reflected on the character in the metaverse, allowing the user's physical condition to be reflected in the virtual world. Through this, Metaverse is expected to provide a new experience that can be called 'extended reality' beyond simple virtual reality, improve user's satisfaction with Metaverse, and suggest a direction for the development of smartwatches.

The use of smart phones has had a great impact on the mobile internet business. It shows a lot of growth in the healthcare sector not only commerce, advertising, billing, games, video content, media, amd O2O business. The United States has eased the regulations for healthcare apps smart phone devices in 2015, and China has established a five-year road map to solve shortage of doctors and hospital beds by utilizing mobile devices such as wearable in the same year. The application of wearable devices in the medical field is gradually increasing in Korea too, but there is a security problem as leading challenge. Security incidents in non-ICT sectors such as financial, medical, etc. have increased by using ICT each year. Personal information leakage is also increasing in field likely occurring the potential secondary damages such as financial fraud, illegal promotions, insurance and pharmaceutical companies abuse. In this study, we analyze malwares as the mobile threats, the five risks of mobile smart phone, mobile use cases and the mobile threat countermeasures for healthcare.

Hand gestures are attracting attention as a NUI (Natural User Interface) of wearable devices such as smart glasses. Recently, to support efficient media consumption in IoT (Internet of Things) and wearable environments, the standardization of IoMT (Internet of Media Things) is in the progress in MPEG. In IoMT, it is assumed that hand gesture detection and recognition are performed on a separate device, and thus provides an interoperable interface between these modules. Meanwhile, deep learning based hand gesture recognition techniques have been recently actively studied to improve the recognition performance. In this paper, we propose a method of hand gesture recognition based on CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) for various applications such as media consumption in wearable devices which is one of the use cases of IoMT. The proposed method detects hand contour from stereo images acquisitioned by smart glasses using depth information and color information, constructs data sets to learn CNN, and then recognizes gestures from input hand contour images. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the average 95% hand gesture recognition rate.

Recently, research about ESS(Emergency Support System) has been actively carried out to provide a variety of medical services using smart devices and wearable devices. Smart healthcare provides a personalized health care service using various types of bio-signal measuring sensors and smart devices. For the smart healthcare using a smart device, it is need to research about personal health monitoring using a smart wearable devices, and also need to research on service methods for first aid measures after an emergency. In this paper, we proposed about group management based emergency support system, that is monitoring about personal bio signal using smart devices and wearable devices to protect patient's life. The system notices to the medical volunteers based on the position information when an emergency situation. In addition, we have designed and implemented an emergency support system providing the information of the patient on the display when transmitting a picture of a patient using a smart device to the server.

IT 기술은 끊임없는 발전을 거듭하고 있으며 현 인류는 기계와 더불어 살고 있다. Desktop, 스마트폰, 노트북 및 태블릿PC는 물론이고, 스마트 워치와 같은 '웨어러블 디바이스(Wearable Device)'의 등장으로 기계 속 세상에 그들과 함께 살고 있다하여도 과언이 아니다. 단연 잦은 기기 사용으로 인해 가장 영향을 크게 받는 인간의 신체 부위는 '눈'이다. 휴대용 기기(Portable Device)는 휴대에 용이해야 한다는 특징 때문에 그 크기가 점차 작아지고 있다. 따라서 작은 기기에 부착된 화면 역시 크기가 감소하였다. 장시간 작은 화면을 집중하여 보게 되면 눈의 피로가 금방 쌓이게 된다. 이로 인해 안구 건조 증 및 시력 저하 발생률이 증가하게 되는데, 영상처리 기술을 이용하여 안구의 깜박임을 감지하고 일정 수치 이하로 깜박임 횟수가 미달될 경우에 안구 운동을 권장하는 프로그램을 개발 하였다.

To develop the scale of usability evaluation on smart jacket for everyday life, we selected four types of smart jackets based on the result of previous study and evaluated their usability. Considering both the embedded machine and the purpose, smart jackets can be classified four types. As the result of previous study, sixty items for evaluation of user experience were constructed. In this study, we extracted ten categorization factors from the results of usability evaluation of smart jackets. Also, the relative importance of usability factors varied according to the types of smart jackets. These results suggest that not only usability factors themselves but also the order of priority of usability evaluation can vary according to the type of smart jacket in design process.

As areas of ICT devices expand due to development of fourth industry, Smart Jewelry is being released. Jewelry is not only a fashion tool to dress up the human body as it merges with the functional aspects of smart devices, but it also delivers the information needed to improve users' living conditions and the interaction of the information needed is likely to be expanded. Although wearable Jewelry is not widely popular with consumers due to its recognition that it is a Smartphone aid and technical limitations, it needs to be ultra-smallized and improved in design. By analyzing emotional types according to design, materials, and colors, focusing on the current wearable jewelry products, the company aims to contribute to enhancing the value of creative smart jewelry by thinking about how smart jewelry will stimulate people's emotions.
