According to <2020 Industry character white paper> No.1 character products are toys, which are 58%, and every year. the Art-toy development is receiving attention. Because of this situation, the Art-toy market is growing, and the number of Art-toy artists and companies is also rising. As the Art-toy markets are growing variety of Art-toy needs to be created, and also need to analyze and researched about Art-toy. The Art-toy is primarily personified and is created based on a human proportion body figure. The research conducted a case analysis of Art-toys and a preference survey for general adult men and women through the head-to-head ratio, which is a measurement standard for human proportions. As a result, The Art-toy has an ideal shape ratio and crafting area according to the body ratio. As preference research from men and women, men show seven heads life-sized and women appeared to three heads life-sized figures are most popular. The two and three heads life-sized have a high preference, and the Art-toy case had a relationship. As the Art-toy case and research of preference help to develop the Art-toy design, and following this research will be used as basic data when creating or researching about the Art-toy in the future.

This study is about the cases in fashion figure appearing the contemporary fashion and their characteristics. The work aims at providing a further active research opportunity for fashion figure in the modern fashion field and finding several possible utilizations to help the overall fashion industry through examination. Research methodology was followed up with the related literature review and empirical work through the case study of multiple fashion figures denoted in the contemporary fashion. The results showed in the following way for types of fashion figure in the modern fashion. The first type is that its figure was used for stage apparatus in fashion collection, various properties, or garment tool as doll shifted to a certain object. The second type is that art toy or fashion doll was used as specially added product via way of cooperation with fashion brand to be applied as fashion figure alone or other properties for T-shirt or something like that. The third type is the case that multifariously sized figures were applied to show window or shop display. This type of fashion figure is basically an imbedded fashionistic feature, reflecting the rarity, publicity, playfulness, and artistic value.

This study proposed 'Body Food,' an interactive tactile mat that provides interactive visual responses and induces physical activity in young children at the time of developing tactile and five senses, along with the touch of various stimuli. The product combines fiber materials and digital content to achieve a variety of visual and auditory responses in real time when children touch the fabric. User tests were conducted for 4-year-olds and the result was positive in terms of physical exercise and artistic experience, but quantitative testing is required to generalize it. In the future, we will complement physical and digital contents to realize more complete product.

The purpose of this study is to explore the process of how modern fashion establishes new consumption cultures by analyzing the different types of fashion toys that have appeared in modern fashion, and identifying inherent meanings of the said toys. The range of this study was limited to four collections (New York, London, Milano, Paris) from 2000 to 2015. In addition to these collections, advertisement campaign and cooperative examples as well as examples of fashion toys that appeared in public interest activities and collections were included. The selected materials were classified into different types of fashion toy usage. From the results of analyzing fashion toys appearing in modern fashion, the four following characteristics. After analyzing the use of fashion toys in modern fashion, four characteristics were found. First, fashion toys were found to be a means to maximize the visual effects of the collection stage. Second, fashion toys utilized as a fashion object were key elements in transforming neo-pop into modern fashion, and constructing high fashion. Third, the fact that people's fashion and fashion toys share contemporary fashion means that customers are shared through the integration of diverse media. This leads to creation of new benefits. Fourth, fashion toys are meaningful because the products reflect contemporary culture, and extend the scope of fashion and art, as it can be considered fashion as well as art. In conclusion, fashion toys were meaningful in that high fashion broke from conservative values, and swiftly introduced contemporary culture codes. It derived a point of effective contact to present a new way of consumption and extended the scope of fashion.

This study was conducted to investigate food habits and eating behavior of preschool children. Food habit, eating behavior and health status were investigated by using a questionnaire answered by the mothers of 312 children aged 6 to 7 years old who lived in Uiwang. The average height, weight, Kaup index were 115.08cm, 21.41 kg, 16.13, respectively, for boys 111.37 cm, 19.93 kg, 15.72 for girls. Results showed that 72.16% of subjects skipped the breakfast meal. One of the main reason fur skipping breakfast was 'no appetite'(53.14%). It was found that 49.67% of the subjects belonged to 'good' in health status. The eating behavior of 'watching TV or playing a toy during meal' and 'can eat the rice by oneself were significantly higher score in girls than in boys(p<0.05). Food attention of the parents for the health of children was the highest in 'keep regular meals a day'(92.65%). Health status showed significantly negative correlations with kaup index and eating behavio(p<0.001). Kaup index(p<0.05) and health attention(p<0.001) were positively related with eating behavior. Based on this study, nutritional education program for preschool children would be required for the dietetics teacher to guide the children and more attention should be paid to the nutritional education of food habits in this age group and their mothers.

Arduino is used in various places such as education, experimentation, and industry. Due to the easy accessibility of Arduino, it is often used by non-majors, and it is also used in media art and toy programs. Although Arduino is relatively easy to use compared to other devices, it is not easy to control various IoT components at the same time. Some tasks run independently of other tasks, while others run dependently. In this paper, I proposed the Arduino Task Framework to efficiently execute many tasks in these various situations. The design framework of this paper is largely composed of two types: synchronous execution and asynchronous execution. These two execution methods can be combined to create several independent and dependent execution routines. Asynchronous tasks are independently executed tasks and are managed by AsyncTaskGroup, while synchronous tasks are dependently executed tasks and are managed by SyncTaskGroup. AsyncTaskGroup instance and SyncTaskGroup instance are instances of the same Task and can be used in combination with another task. The Arduino framework proposed in this paper simplifies the program structure and can easily compose various tasks.

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.
