Game character customizing has evolved with the desires of users who want to enjoy the scarcity value; thereby, the category which is subjected to character customizing is extending. However, despite such a great interest, character customizing interface has been created for the sake of the convenience of each game developing company, without proven guidelines. The confusion of designers who create interface is caused by using independently created interface without testing the optimal form of interface according to manipulative activity which integrates game character customizing interface, and this confusion leads to the discomfort of users. All the more, studies on character customizing have been mostly concerned with the preference for certain characters according to user propensity or character producing methods. Therefore, basic research into interface relative to character customizing is insufficient. Accordingly, through the development of universal guidelines appropriate for game character customizing interface. the discomfort of users is to be removed. This paper conducted an investigative analysis of the current interface of games which support character customizing, and classified the type of interface. Then, the paper researched 16 types of games that support character customizing out of games ranked within top 50 in the on-line game ranking. As a result of the analysis, the characteristic feature of every game appeared in the offer of detailed optional factors. Those detailed optional factors could be classified, to some extent; however, their manipulative interfaces were discovered not to be classified into different types. The results of this paper will be used as an analytic system in the preparation of the guidelines of game character customizing interface, down the road.

For the successful implementation of ERP systems, it is very important to solve the issue of "misfits", that is, the gaps between the functionality offered by the ERP package and the required by the adopting organization. To solve the "misfit" issue, adapting to the new functionality has been recommended instead of customizing the ERP package. However, these claims are mostly based on case studies and anecdotal evidence with limited empirical justification. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to study the effect of ERP customizing on user satisfaction and firm performance. In this study, we also examine the differences in the effects of ERP customizing among three customizing types: modification, add-on development (to use 'user exit'), and add-on development (not to use 'user exit'). According to the empirical field study, we find no significant differences in user satisfaction and firm performance by overall customizing (total of three customizing types) level. However, we find significant differences in user satisfaction and firm performance by add-on development level. And the influences of customizing types on user satisfaction and firm performance are significantly affected by the functionality level offered by the ERP system and BPR level. These results indicate that ERP customizing may not always be the incorrect choice for solving the "misfit" issue.

Unlike conventional online shopping malls that handle simple product sales, customization services have to be provided with a user-centered and smooth customizable work environment because of differences that buyers have to customize themselves. To study the ease of use of T-shirt customization web GUI, three websites that provide T-shirt customization services were selected to analyze the current status of T-shirt customization websites. Through prior research, we establish the evaluation principle as consistency and clarity, operability, feedback, coping with errors, sharing and ease of search. Based on this, the T-shirt customization web GUI design guidelines were drafted and three delphi surveys were conducted on GUI-related experts to prove the validity of the web GUI guidelines evaluation items that are effective in customizing T-shirts. This study is expected to contribute to increasing the production and usability of the T-shirt customization web and to be used as an effective reference for customization web GUI design.

With the spread of COVID-19 and restrictions on outdoor exercise, the number of users using motion sensing games indoors is increasing. An avatar-type character design customization system on behalf of gamers is one of the important research topics for developers in that it can increase the game's appeal to gamers. In this paper, a motion sensing game with high sales volume and character customization is selected as a game analysis case. Through the analysis of the character customization system of the three selected games, important elements of the customization system were extracted. Finally, the shortcomings of the motion sensing game character customization system were derived, and improvement plans were presented for the selection system, transformation system, and partial system. It is expected that this proposal will serve as a reference for designing a motion sensing game character customization system in the future.

Customizing system is known as an important factor which affects not only purchase, loyalty and immersion of the user. In this study, we explore the concept of character-customizing system in the early stage of a game; on the basis of it, we compare cases by analyzing and schematizing certain types of systems which many games stick to. Customizing system types are divided into a basic case and a differentiated convergence case; based on it, they are classified into four types: Realistic, Creation, Individual, Additional; plus, another customizing system case out of games is also analyzed. To improve customer loyalty, a system like a differentiated case that attracts user participation is essential. Through a variety of character customization convergence cases shown in this study, we expect them to be used as game production guides. By enlarging the range of the study, we expect further studies to cover more cases.

The avatar gender, the basic element that constitutes the identity of the MMORPG player, can be created by the player due to the nature of the game through the system provided within the game. Thus, players exhibit a different attitude from reality regarding avatar gender. Gender customization in virtual space is an expansion of the identity in an effort to express one's identity in various ways. A number of users manage avatars with the opposite gender where it was found that male players preferred the female avatar persona. In this study, the player attitudes regarding gender was analyzed using Q methodology and the motivational factors for gender swapping and the generalization phenomenon was determined. This study will be significant as critical standards in the usability evaluation of the MMORPG customization system.

국내에 ERP패키지 시스템이 도입된지도 10여년이 지나 현재 많은 기업이 ERP를 구축 운영중이며 향후에도 많은 기업이 ERP를 구축할 것으로 예상된다. 해외에서 개발된 패키지를 국내에 도입하다 보니 국내 실정에 맞지 않는 많은 부분이 커스터마이징되고 있다. 이러한 커스터마이징은 ERP 개발 기간을 길게 하고 많은 비용을 초래하며 또한 실제 운영 시에도 과다한 유지 보수 비용을 발생시키는 등 적지 않은 부담을 안겨 주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 커스터마이징과 ERP구축의 성과 지표 즉 개발기간 및 구축비용 등에 대한 상관 관계를 실 구축 사례를 통해 조사/확인하고 LG CNS의 ERP 구축 및 운영 경험을 토대로 커스터마이징을 줄일 수 있는 방안에 대한 아이디어를 제시하고자 한다.

Character customization means a series of processes to build a characters. Mobile character customizing system is very scarce than Online RPG system qualitatively or quantitatively. In this paper, I will propose some effective elements about A DIY character system that must be suitable for the mobile environment system. The reasons why Select System is mainly used as the customizing system in RPG are as follows; First, the screen of a mobile device is small; Second, it is due to the space-time characteristics with which mobile games are played. In the middle of playing a game, a customizing system should be adopted in order for players not to feel bored. In addition, avatar's costumes should be continually updated.
