This study uses the bidet 4D double diamond design process model to propose an improvement for "senior-oriented bidet product service design" that reflects the characteristics and needs of seniors. This study was based on the product service system concept. To this end, qualitative research on seniors was conducted to derive user value factors, and, based on this, product service ideas were discovered, and a prototype reflecting the usefulness review of a working-level expert group was proposed. First, a "smart application service for user-customized function setting guide" was proposed. A bidet incorporating Internet of Things technology and a smart phone are linked to provide an app service that automatically interprets user characteristic information and information on bidet products to guide customized functions. Second, a control panel and remote control user interface to "user-oriented product service interface" was proposed. In consideration of the usability and cognitive ability of seniors, a simple and intuitive physical user interface such as a configuration centered on main functions, button arrangement according to task sequence, and a touch screen remote control was presented. Third, we proposed a "bidet care service linked with products and health/hygiene care" that provides a wide range of services such as user health and hygiene, cleanliness, entertainment, etc., in addition to regular bidet product service. This study proposed a product-based service design methodology that can improve user experience and relationship quality by discovering and improving the pain points and needs of users (seniors) in the process of using bidet products (before, during, and after use).

본 논문에서는 기존의 비데와 인체 정보 수집 센서류를 결합한 IoT기반의 스마트 비데를 위해 생체 측정 데이터를 효과적으로 관리하고 사용자들의 사용 편의성을 증가시키는 모바일 기반 어플을 설계한다. 제시하는 모바일 어플은 스마트 비데의 체온센서, 산소포화도센서, 압력센서를 통해 수집된 사용자의 생체정보를 블루투스 기반 통신을 통해 실시간으로 생체신호를 수집 및 디스플레이 하며, 특정 기간의 데이터 통계를 통해 생체 정보의 이력을 사용자에게 효과적으로 제공함으로써 각종 질병 예방에 기여할 수 있다.
