1990 년대 후반 이후 스마트 의류 연구는 기능성 및 인간 친화적인 측면으로의 접근 필요성이 증가됨에 따라 기능 및 사용자 중심의 연구로 진행되어 오고 있다. 이에 따라 최근 스마트 의류의 발달은 사용자 애플리케이션을 중심으로 세분화되어 개발되고 있다다변하는 의류 시장에서 스마트 의류 상품기획은 기존의 의류 상품기획과 같이 소비자 트렌드 중심의 경향과 함께 소비자의 특성을 파악하는 연구의 필요성이 대두되어 그 중요성은 날로 부상하고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 스마트 의류의 연구는 기능성, 사용성 기반의 연구자 중심의 개발이 이루어지고 있어, 소비자 중심, 마켓 중심의 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 스마트 의류 기획에 있어 가장 밀접한 관련이 예상되는 의복 및 의복행동 라이프 스타일과 디지털 라이프 스타일을 중심으로 라이프 스타일의 유형을 분석하고, 라이프 스타일에 따른 스마트 의류 수용도와 인지도를 조사하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 추후 스마트 의류의 수요가 가장 높을 것으로 예상되는 20 대, 30 대를 중심으로 이루어졌으며, 라이프 스타일에 따른 스마트 의류의 수용도와 인지 여부 및 스마트 의류의 선호도를 조사하여 그 결과를 제시하였다.그 결과 소비자 라이프스타일은 유행추구형, 감각적 정보추구형, 실용적 기능추구형의 세 유형으로 도출되었으며, 유행추구형 집단이 스마트 의류에 대한 인지도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 유행추구형은 엔터테인먼트 의류군을 선호하였으며, 스마트 의류 속성 중 외관을 다른 집단에 비해 중시하는 경향을 보였다. 감각적 정보추구형은 감성교감의류 및 생체 신호 측정의류의 선호도 및 필요성을 높게 인지하고 있었으며, 실용적 기능 추구형은 생체 신호 측정의류 및 환경과의 상호작용 하는 의류에 대해 선호하는 경향을 나타내며, 스마트 의류의 필요성을 다른 집단에 비해 높게 느끼고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 스마트 의류의 인식 및 선호도 등 상품화에 실질적인 평가 자료를 제시함으로써, 추후 스마트 의류의 상용화에 있어 시장 가능성 및 상품화를 위한 스마트 의류 기획 방향을 제시한 것에 의의가 있다.

This study aims at providing basic data for product planning to design smart clothing and to develop applications, focusing on consumers by satisfying their emotions through analyzing emotional factors on smart clothing, comparing emotional differences between conventional clothing and it, reviewing changes of consumers' emotion by integrating the product and clothing and researching differences of preference and purchase intention between smart clothing and traditional one. As the results of the study, emotional factors for smart clothing were analyzed with total 6 including 'technical', 'comfort', 'aesthetic', 'modern', 'fun' and 'multiple' factors. Among them, except for 'comport', five emotional factors showed emotional factors between conventional sport-casual clothing and smart clothing. That is, emotional factors of 'technical', 'aesthetic', 'modern', 'fun' and 'multiple' were emphasized more in smart clothing than conventional ones, indicating that they should be considered in planning products of smart clothing. Though there was no significant difference of preference between smart clothing and conventional clothing, in case of comparison of averages, that of smart clothing was a little higher. For purchase intention, smart clothing was lower than the conventional clothing. So preference seems to be not directly related to consumers' immediate purchase. To make consumers' interests and preference to result in purchase, it is necessary to develop smart clothing with more various applications and to prepare commercializing strategies. As the results of the analysis on free-descriptive questionnaire survey, consumers were interested in development of smart clothing to help diet with functions including energy harvesting from body motion, calorification and perspiration, measurement of motion and calory consumption as well as health-care type smart clothing to measure heartbeat and ECG. Reflecting these requirements from the consumers, they should be utilized as guidance to develop smart clothing in the future.

This study investigates and analyzes user preferences for golf wear with a sense of wear and smart function for the development of smart golf wear based on user convenience. A survey was conducted on 124 males in the age range of 40-60s that consisted of professional golfers, amateur golfers and the public with golf experience (such as major golf consumers) from August 1 to August 30, 2019 (IRB NO. 1040198-190617-HR-057-03); consequently, a 117 copies were accepted for analysis. The findings are as follows. The elbow (4.3%) of golf wear is unsatisfactory. The important part of the golf swing motion is the shoulder (39.3)>, elbow (30.8%)>, and wrist (6.8%). In addition, the unsatisfactory wearing of golf wear due to golf swing movements indicated that the shoulder or elbow area was pulled or the bottom of the top was raised during the back swing movements. The survey results on the expected discomfort when wearing smart wear are 'discomfort of obstruction when wearing' (53.8%), 'discomfort of washing' (17.1%), and 'weight of attached machine' (13.7%). Opinions such as 'Will not feel good when the sensor is attached' were investigated. The examination of the preference for golf wear equipped with smart functions indicated that a posture correction function to correct the golf swing posture is the most desired quality that is also considered important when correcting posture.

The present study explored consumer's perception and preference on providing information of fashion products by using QR code and suggested the possibility for consumer-to-consumer and consumer-to-company connection. A survey was conducted on males and females in their 20s-a population among whom the rate of smart phone penetration is higher than in any other age group and who tend to exchange information online. The results showed that consumers are dissatisfied with the amount of information, terms of instructions, and ambiguous washing symbols currently provided. Therefore, the study identified the need for better methods of providing information and found that QR code, which is able to deliver high-quality information on fashion products, can be an efficient alternative. Moreover, respondents felt the need for detailed washing instructions, information on handling, and functionality of material on high-involvement fashion products such as outdoor, padding, suit, and underwear worn next to the skin. They also desire styling tips or purchasing information such as SNS OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) utilizing the product, other products that may go well with the one purchased, and similar products on casual wear and coat used on a daily basis. Therefore, QR code used as a link to information web pages or a social network can help consumers to satisfy information needs and to use the products effectively.

차세대 하이테크 스마트 의류는 복합 차원에서의 감성적인 요소를 섬유 패션기술에 IT융합 기술을 이용하여 제공하고 있다. 생체신호를 이용한 감성은 모호하여 정량적이고 객관적인 측정이 어렵고, 그 표현도 제한된 감성 어휘에 의하여 나타나기 때문에 구체적으로 파악하는 것은 어려운 일이다. 이를 위하여 제품의 기능적 측면뿐만 아니라 정서적 감정과 선호도가 반영된 제품의 설계나 디자인 또한 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 생체신호 측정을 위한 웨어러블 기반의 심전도 측정 의복을 제안하였다. 착용자가 평소 자주 입는 티셔츠를 응용하여 답답해하거나 불편하지 않게 제작하고 소매 형태로 신축성있는 소재를 사용한다. 인체의 형태에 따라 의복과 바이오센서의 전극이 안정적으로 밀착될 수 있도록 고탄력 밴드를 이용하여 일자형으로 제작하였다. 심전도 측정 의복을 착용에 의해 수집된 심전도 ECG 파형을 수집하고 심박변화율을 계산하는 시뮬레이션을 개발한다.

The U-Healthcare era has evolved with the development of the Internet of things (IoT) in the early stages of being connected as a society. Already, many changes such as increased well-being and the extension of human life are becoming evident across cultures. Korea entered the growing group of aging societies in 2017, and its silver industry is expected to grow rapidly by adopting the IoT of a super-connected society. In particular, the senior shift phenomenon has resulted in increased interest in the promotion of the health and well-being of the emergent silver generation which, unlike the existing silver generation, is highly active and wields great economic power. This study conducted in-depth interviews to investigate the characteristics of the new silver generation, and to develop the design for a wearable serious game that intends to boost the interest of the elderly in exercise and fitness activities according to their personalized physical training regimes as prescribed by the U-Hospital service. The usage scenario of this wearable serious game for the 'U-silver generation' is derived from social necessity. Medical professionals can utilize this technology to conduct health examinations and to monitor the rehabilitation of senior patients. The elderly can also use this tool to request checkups or to interface with their healthcare providers. The wearable serious game is further aimed at mitigating concerns about the deterioration of the physical functions of the silver generation by applying personalized exercise prescriptions. The present investigation revealed that it is necessary to merge the on / off line community activities to meet the silver generation's daily needs for connection and friendship. Further, the sustainability of the serious game must be enhanced through the inculcation of a sense of accomplishment as a player rises through the levels of the game. The proposed wearable serious game is designed specifically for the silver generation that is inexperienced in using digital devices: simple game rules are applied to a familiar interface grounded on the gourmet travels preferred by the target players to increase usability.
