This study examines the actual state of using digital convergence products by consumers, and analyzes the expectation that consumers have regarding digital convergence products and the actual satisfaction of the digital convergence products. In addition, it analyzes factors affecting the satisfaction with digital convergence products. First, mobile phones, which 99.4% of those surveyed had, cameras, which 90.6% had, and mp3s, which 71.8% had, were found to be necessities. Second, the ratio of owning digital convergence products was 79.5%, 48.1%, and 52.4%, respectively. In the case of a mobile phones, a digital convergence type is already common. Third, regarding the reason for purchasing digital convergence products, they chose convergence products because there was no product with a simple function that they wanted to have: 38.2% in terms of a mobile phone, 47.2% for a camera, and 28.2% for an mp3. This shows that a consumer's choice was infringed in a great deal at the back of remarkable quantitative growth in digital convergence products. Fourth, the analysis of the factor regarding the consumer's expectation on digital convergence products showed 3 kinds of factors, i.e., expectation of benefit, expectation of risk, and expectation of situation. Fifth, as a result of analyzing the structural model regarding the effect on satisfaction by a consumer's expectation and the outcome on digital convergence products, all the expectations and outcomes of benefit, risk, and situation did not have a direct effect on satisfaction. Only an indirect effect through inconsistency showed a statistical significance.

A wide variety of convergent digital products are emerging through the combination of multiple independent digital technologies. Digital convergence provides new revenue sources for businesses and new ways of satisfying individual needs of consumers. Despite its business and consumer implications, little research has addressed how people perceive or evaluate convergent products. This study aims at understanding how consumers interpret and evaluate convergent digital products by conducting two consecutive studies. Firstly, a survey was conducted to understand how people interpret convergent products in three ways suggested by the conceptual combination theory based in cognitive science. Secondly, an experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of combination strategies and product similarities on user evaluation of convergent products. Study results indicate that similarity of constituent products has a substantial effect on the interpretation of concept combination strategies. Moreover, combination strategy and product similarity were found to have substantial effects on user comprehension, perceived newness, and preferences for convergent products. This paper ends with an examination of the implications and limitations of the study results.

In this paper, we examined the difference of the effects of buying factors in two consumer segments divided by the innovative behavior for digital convergence products, and developed relevant managerial implications. As the digital convergence product could be understood as a innovative bundling product, the buying factors of the digital convergence products were clustered in 3 groups : common innovation-bundling factors, innovation factors and bundling factors. Tests for the difference of regression coefficients of the purchasing factors in the two markets show that (1) the early market is affected by both of the common innovation-bundling factors and the innovation factors, while the mainstream market is affected by all of the common innovation-bundling factors. the innovation factors and the bundling factors, (2) the early market is more affected by the technical benefit, while the mainstream market is more affected by the pragmatic benefit, and (3) both of the two markets are affected by the compatibility and the message communicability. The relevant managerial implications for the successive diffusion of the digital convergence products can include (1) in the entire period of the diffusion. enhancing the compatibility between consumer and product concept, performing constant and differentiated marketing communication activities, (2) in the early market of the diffusion, introducing unique innovative product which provides obvious and differential synergy through the convergence, appealing to the technical benefit, and (3) in the mainstream market of the diffusion, improving the qualities and features of individual products for the digital convergence product, appealing to the pragmatic benefit, reducing the complexity of product.

본 연구는 혁신 제품특성, 환경 특성, 그리고 개인 특성을 소비자의 지각된 유용성과 용이성에 영향을 미치는 선행 변수로 두고, 디지털 컨버전스 제품에 대한 소비자들의 태도와 수용의도에 미치는 영향에 관해 분석했다. 연구결과, 상대적 이점과 더 좋은 제품에 대한 기대, 사회적 영향 및 매스커뮤니케이션, 그리고 신기술에 대한 태도 등이 지각된 유용성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 지각된 용이성보다 유용성이 긍정적인 제품태도 형성에 영향을 준다는 결과가 도출되었다. 디지털 컨버전스 제품사용자 들은 제품의 사용편이성 보다는 사용하기에 복잡하더라도 복합적인 기능들의 사용가능성에 더 큰 가치를 두고 있었다.

Digital convergence, defined as the creative fusion of once-independent technologies and service, is getting more attention recently. Interruptions among internal functions happen frequently in digital convergence products because many functions that were in separate products are merged into a single product. Multi-tasking and multi-modality are two distinctive features of interruption in digital convergence products, but their impacts to the user have not been investigated yet. This study conducted a controlled experiment to investigate the impacts of multi-tasking and multi-modality on the subjective satisfaction and objective performance of digital convergent products. The study results indicate that multi-tasking and multi-modality have substantial effects individually as well as together. The paper ends with practical and theoretical implications of study results as well as research limits and future research.

'Digital' the most important keyword in the 21th century environment affects on our life whole and method, studying, working, playing and communicating. Also, digital make the range of products ambiguous through fusing and compounding products. It is becoming new subject how digital may ambiguous with human's life by this solution. So, basis proposition of study analyzes intelligence style furniture taking a view of making of furniture as long as it is by digital technology do essential intensive training of furniture and there is the purpose to suggest conception pattern of 'Digital Convergence Furniture' the future. In especial, analyze intelligence style furniture by investigating space and new tendency that appear on object according to accommodation formula of digital technology through case study it is present conception 'Digital Convergence Furniture'

이 연구는 디지털 컨버전스 제품 구매에 영향을 미치는 소비가치가 무엇인지를 파악하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 컨버전스 제품을 혁신 정도에 따라 연속적 혁신과 단절적 혁신 컨버전스 제품으로 구분한 후, 제품별로 구매 의도와의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 디지털 컨버전스 제품의 소비가치는 정서적 가치, 진귀적 가치, 사회적 가치, 기능적 가치의 네 가지 소비가치로 구성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 네 가지 소비가치와 컨버전스 제품의 구매의도간 인과관계를 분석한 결과, 단절 혁신 컨버전스 제품에는 정서적 가치, 진귀적 가치, 기능적 가치가 구매의도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연속적 혁신 컨버전스 제품에는 기능적 가치만 구매의도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 성별, 소득, 학력등의 주요한 인구통계학적 변수는 구매 의도에 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 디지털 컨버전스의 선택행동은 여러 유형의 소비가치의 함수이고, 여러 유형의 소비가치가 구매의도에 영향을 준다는 것을 시사해 주고 있다. 또한 소비자들에게 익숙하지 않은 혁신적인 컨버전스 제품을 출시할 때는 명확한 가치 중심으로 소구해야 시장에서 성공할 수 있다는 점을 시사해 주고 있다.

Analyzing the diffusion of a convergence product is a new and challenging research field. It is very difficult to find research dealing with this issue due to the inherent complexity and lack of data. In analyzing the diffusion of a convergence product, we should simultaneously take into account its relationship with related single-function products because of their similarities in terms of technology and functionality. In this study, we empirically analyze the diffusion of the convergence mobile phones in South Korea and find that the convergence products can affect the diffusion of MP3 players and digital cameras positively or negatively. This research may be significant for business strategies in technology management and product development.
