Today, with the advance of Information and communication technology, 'Smart, connected' toys, which apply technologies related to IoT (Internet of Things) to traditional toys, are emerging and rapidly growing. This research aims to analyze the tendencies and limitations of smart, connected toys through exploring the representative cases of smart, connected toys based on characteristics of ICBM (Internet of Things, Cloud, Big-data, and Mobile) technology. For this study, we begin by understanding literature research about smart, connected toys and ICBM technology. Then, we extracted the characteristics of ICBM technology for connecting physical and digital environments through investigating cases to which ICBM technologies are applied. Based on the extracted characteristics, the case studies of smart, connected toys were conducted. In this research, we explore the level of ICBM technology application and limitation to smart, connected toys. We expect this research will contribute to providing guidelines for developing smart, connected toys based on the characteristics of the latest technology.

As use of Internet increase, IoT(Internet Of Things), a interaction between connected devices, is widely used throughout industrial area. In this paper, we discussed what to consider when planning framework for contents using user's mobile devices and various sensors in IoT environment and suggest related techniques. Also, using the techniques suggested in this paper, we showed the prototype of the framework. Finally, we showed the possibility of games in the IoT environment by creating game in the IoT environment.
