ICT 분야에서 2014년의 주목할 만한 이슈 중 하나가 "입는 컴퓨터(Wearable Computer)" 즉 "Wearable Device" 시대의 개막이다. 삼성 갤럭시 기어, 구글 글래스, 그리고 애플 워치와 같은 제품들을 웨어러블 디바이스라고 한다. MIT 미디어 랩의 정의에 따르면 웨어러블 디바이스는 신체에 부착하여 컴퓨팅 행위를 할 수 있는 모든 것을 지칭하며 일부 컴퓨팅 기능을 수행할 수 있는 애플리케이션까지 포함하고 있다. 웨어러블 디바이스는 또 하나의 두뇌다. 웨어러블 디바이스가 대중화되면 달라지는 것이 수없이 많아질 것이다. 일단 두 손이 자유로워진다. 내 몸이 24시간 인터넷과 연결되기 때문이다. 단지 스마트폰이나 디바이스를 몸에 붙인다는 수준이 아니라 디바이스가 바로 우리 몸의 외부에 연결되어 있는 두뇌 역할을 하게 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 웨어러블 디바이스의 기술 요소를 관련 기업들 별로 분석해 본다.

This study aims to classify wearable devices for infants and children according to their function, and to analyze the types and attachment methods of the devices by function, operating system, characteristics of materials, and types of batteries, and to identify the points for improvement. Forty-eight types of devices investigated through previous studies and keyword research online were analyzed. Wearable devices for infants and children were classified according to their functions into wearable monitors, wearable thermometers, GPS trackers, and smart watches. Devices had different shapes and attachment methods according to their functions, and were mainly clothes or accessory types. The accessory type devices were attached to the body using velcro, clips, bands, or adhesives. Wearable monitors and thermometers mainly used Bluetooth to transmit data wirelessly, and location trackers used various combinations of 4G(LTE), 5G networks, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Smartwatches had different functions depending on whether smart phones were linked to them or not. Wearable monitors and thermometers mainly used by infants provided material information, but other devices did not. These devices used rechargeable, replaceable, non-rechargeable or non-replaceable batteries. Wearable devices need to be improved to reduce the discomfort experienced by infants and children due to the attachment position, malfunction, skin trouble caused by materials, short time of use of batteries, version conflict and complexity with the device when linking with a smart phone, and non-operation when using Bluetooth.

In recent years, smart clothing had been developed in order to better detect and monitor physical movement of the patient, so that such activities such as location identification and biometric recognition could be done. However, most of the sensing devices of smart clothing were limited to smart sensing sports clothing and the designs did not consider the physical characteristics and the behavior of the wearer. Therefore, this study aimed to create an open protection system by developing a wearable sensing device for health monitoring and location information. For this purpose, this study developed eleven types of wearable sensing design that could be commercially sold and worn by people who needed their biological information to be constantly monitored. The study conducted four tests in order to develop three types of sensing devices for various sensing wears. The purpose of this study was to expand the user rang of smart sensing wears, and provide a foundation for the development of distinctive wearable sensing devices reflecting the user.

Wearable smart products contributed to expand the concept of modern clothing in terms of closer communication between wearers and the surrounding environment. This study investigated the concept of wearable smart actuators and characteristics of actuating feedback. The representative product development trends over the past 10 years are examined based on the method of actuating feedback. A first keyword search from Naver and Google reused to select the final 58 products based on the second key keyword actuating feedback. The wearable smart actuator system works in a similar way to a human body system such as those of the information processing process. Actuating feedback is delivered directly to the user as the last signal of the system, which has visual, auditory and tactile feedback. It works in complex at the device to be delivered to the user. Actuator feedback is divided into three types of active and passive, depending on the user situation, the overall purpose of the product, the collected information, and the device dependency. Active actuating feedback determines and actuates the situation on behalf of the user when the user is in an emergency or a disability situation. Passive actuating feedback plays a role in environmental monitoring to help in a healthy daily life.
