최근 스마트폰의 보급 및 웹 서비스의 도입으로 온라인 사용자들은 대규모의 콘텐츠를 시간과 장소에 관계없이 접할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 사용자들은 대규모의 콘텐츠 사이에서 원하는 콘텐츠를 찾는 데 어려움을 겪게 되었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다양한 분야에서 사용자 모델링 및 추천 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발하게 수행되었다. 그러나 정보 환경의 변화에 따른 시니어 계층의 적극적인 변화에도 불구하고 시니어 계층에 초점을 맞춘 사용자 모델링 및 추천 시스템에 대한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기계 학습 방법을 기반으로 스마트 시니어 계층의 선호도를 파악할 수 있는 모델링 방법을 제안하고, 스마트 시니어 분류 모델을 개발한다. 이 결과, 스마트 시니어 계층의 선호도를 파악할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 스마트 시니어 분류 모델 개발을 통해 시니어 사용자에게 가장 적합한 활동 및 콘텐츠를 제공하는 콘텐츠 추천 연구에 대한 발판을 마련하였다.

This study analyzed the digital divide of Korean senior citizens through the preference for smart media. Targeting two media out of mobile internet and mobile social media, the media dependency ratio and the trend of people in their 20s-60s were verified. Regarding the dependency ratio of young people(20s) and senior citizens(60s), in case of mobile internet, people in their 60s were average 8.6% while people in their 20s were average 38.9%, so that the ratio of senior citizens was lower by 30.3%. In case of social media, people in their 60s were average 1%, which was 7.1% lower than people in their 20s(8.1%). And this divide was the digital divide shown in the informatization process through the trend of internet use of senior citizens in their 60s or up. Thus, as the policy measures for solving the digital divide of senior citizens, it would be required to continuously develop the digital cultural programs for senior citizens, to expansively perform the government subsidiary policies like additionally providing the essential information to senior citizens, and also to expand the smart-based infrastructure for senior citizens' participation in economic activities.

세계적으로 시니어인구는 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 디지털 둔감 계층이었던 과거의 시니어와는 다르게 스마트 기기 및 인터넷을 지속적으로 사용하고자 하는 스마트 시니어 계층이 급부상하고 있다. 기존에 시니어에 대한 정의는 단순히 고연령 집단으로 정의하는게 대부분이었고, 시니어에 대한 특성을 파악하는 연구는 심리학연구에서 많이 이루어져 왔지만, 데이터 기반의 시니어 인지반응을 활용한 연구는 초기수준에 불과하다. 또한 스마트 시니어의 인지적 특성에 따른 콘텐츠를 제공해주기 위해서는 스마트 시니어의 인지적 특성을 잘 분류할 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 스마트 시니어에 대한 인지반응 유형 분류를 통하여 시니어를 위한 문화향유에 도움을 줄 수 있도록 하는 데이터기반의 시니어 인지반응 모델링 방법을 제언한다.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the senior people in our aging society. This paper will give an account of the current cases of senior shift. The first section of this paper will examine a conceptual approach based on a literature review and analyze case studies of senior shifts by national fashion and beauty brands. It will be helpful for the 'New Senior' consumer group, which in emerging in an aging society. The research methods applied were a literature review and a case study, and a database search was conducted to determine the current situation of global brands. The results of the literature review showed that seniors can be classified into four types based on their physical aging condition and emotional tendency: Prime Senior, Smart Senior, Rational Senior, and Slump Senior. The first thing that needs to be said is that the Prime Senior type is found commonly in as a way to appoint a senior model in order to switch brand image. Cases of the Smart Senior type appeared only in the beauty field, which attempted multilateral approaches such as launching products exclusively for seniors and offering make-up services after improving the usability and functionality in response to senior consumers'needs. However, as no cases of senior shift were found for the Rational Senior and Slump Senior types in either the fashion or beauty field, future studies should explore the market approaches used in those categories.

This paper proposes a system that utilizes USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network), Bluetooth and smart phone to improve the function of senior houses. In typical approach, a system in a senior house either directly accesses the status of elderly people by its sensor or is alerted by elderly people who trigger an emergency bell, derive a decision and take an appropriate action. In addition, it is possible for a designated social worker to check the status of senior patients through monitoring system connected by UTP(Unshielded Uwisted Pair) cables, but the responsible person has to be present to monitor patients' status. However, the new system, suggested in this paper, embed Bluetooth function in a blood pressure gauge, thus the smart phone receives patients' health information such as blood pressure through Bluebooth, if any abnormal event occurs. Consequently, the smart phone sends SMS(Short Message Service) to a responsible social worker or a designated hospital. When this program in the paper becomes a reality, an unmanned system that is able to determine suitable actions for certain events will be established, even if a social worker were absence.
