This article suggests Living Lab approach as a technology commercialization model of public research and development (R&D) projects. Living Lab is a model for end-users, private companies, research institutes, and public organizations to develop technology in a living space which works as a laboratory. Unlike the dominant technology commercialization model which focuses on private enterprises, a new living lab model discusses end-user centered commercialization. Based on general living lab model, three types of technology commercialization model are suggested. The 'Demand exploring type living lab' and the 'Problem solving type living lab' are project-based living lab. The other type of living lab is 'Living lab platform'. The projectbased living lab can be utilized as modules when promoting R&D projects. On the other hand, the living lab platform is infrastructure to provide living labs services to companies, public institutes and municipalities.

Innovation in local industries and the development of public services require, among other things, shared growth with the concept of regional co-prosperity. Regional co-prosperity is essentially aimed at bridging regional balance or regional gaps, which means a relationship that can achieve shared growth through complementary cooperation. In this study, cases using living labs were drawn based on the current status of industry-academic cooperation at the level of regional innovation and its policy implications were sought. Local governments are making various attempts to solve regional problems and enhance the linkage effect of securing mutual competitiveness through co-prosperity cooperation autonomously. In particular, an effective approach has been continued by activating the Living Lab Network, a problem-solving mechanism, focusing on pending regional issues. Above all, one of the strategies for regional development should be linked to the establishment of a cooperative system for win-win cooperation and policy means to support it. The activation of cooperative programs with local universities, companies and local governments and the case of problem-solving using living labs. Therefore, it suggested that active participation by various stakeholders and a cooperative governance model were needed to enable Living Lab.

Living Lab is being introduced and applied as an innovation model driven by social entities (residents, users, etc.) and as an innovation place based on local and field. This study analyzed three living lab cases of Bukchon IoT living lab, Seong-Daegol energy transition living lab, and Daejeon Geonneoyu project, which were designated as 'Living Lab' to solve local problems. We analyzed the local problem, the problem solving goal, the role of each participant and the subject, the living lab promotion system, the significance in each case. In addition, the types and characteristics of living labs were elucidated and future development plans were discussed. The result is as follow. First, each case has a tendency to link science technology and ICT with local problem solving though there is a difference between the technologies used. Second, local residents played a leading role in the whole living lab process from problem identification to technical experimentation, diffusion and application. Third, the role of the intermediaries commonly played an important role in the operation of the living lab. Last but not least, each case has different types of living lab. Bukchon IoT living lab being operated as a project by the government / municipality to create a living lab activity-base or to support actors' activities. On the other hand, the Seong-Daegol energy transition living lab and Daejeon Geonneoyu project were conducted by the civil society itself to define problems and explore technologies in order to solve local problems.

The Smart City Living Lab is becoming important as a local innovation platform to develop urban solutions. In January 2018, the 4th industrial innovation committee, which was a direct subordinate from the president, empathized citizens' participation and their roles within the Smart City [Urban Innovation and Future Growth Engine-Creating Smart City Strategy]. This was the starting point of the living lab. The central government and local governments have been promoting various types of living labs to encourage citizens to participate. On the other hand, due to the lack of systematic concepts and theories for practicing and structuring living labs, the practice is not performed well. This study aimed to develop systematic approaches and implementation methods of the public-led Smart City Living Lab. The Full-cycle Smart City living Lab model was designed by integrating smart city living lab work processes, as suggested in the standards of the national land plan, double design diamond framework, which is a type of innovative design methodology, and design thinking process. The entire cycle Smart City living lab model requires four components to practice the living lab, such as framework, module, process, and methodologies. In the future, this model is expected to be incorporated in the Smart City Living Lab.

Living Lab is one of open movements regarding social innovation, which mainly utilizes scientific technology to improve local residents' life value. Even though various attempts have been made, Living Lab projects that deal with actual life-related problems of local communities are not sufficiently being made. This study aims at organizing existing Living Lab studies and to draw political issues in perspective of solving regional problems and developing local communities. Above all, policies should be proceeded in a way that fully understands and reflects local problem since communication with local residents or end-users will be increased. It is required to support certain products or solution development that fits specific local situation based on their resource and demands. In addition, local small businesses or start-up companies should be given opportunities to conduct experiment and revise new technology, product or service on the spot. It would be a useful example to utilize ICT technology and contents such as local cable TV network, for Living Lab. Living Lab can establish itself as an effective reformation process only if it remains to function for the sake of solving issues of local community and residents. Practical undertones would be able to be obtained once this exploratory study turns into empirical case study.

This study examines the case of living lab led by intermediary and explores the development possibility as living lab platform. The analyzed cases are 'The Seoul Innovation Park Living lab', 'Korea Senior Living lab' of Seongnam Senior Experience complex, and 'Disaster Safety Living lab'. As a result of the analysis, all three cases have formed a user panel to form a living lab platform, and provide living lab service to internal and external organizations. A common feature that combines a technology platform with a 4Ps-based governance platform is identified. However, the characteristics, the meaning, and the process are different from case to case. In the future, the living lab platform needs to share learning experiences that are going on individually, since domestic living lab platform is in the early stage. Through this, it is necessary to seek collaboration and cooperation with related similar projects, and to jointly promote institutional and physical infrastructures related to living labs.

As a solution to local and social problems, the active use of smart city living labs is becoming increasingly important. The answer to solving local and social problems lies in the citizen and the field. The purpose of this study is to establish a smart city living lab model based on citizen participation. In this study, smart city living lab model(4P-SCLLM) based on citizen participation was established through domestic and overseas living lab methodology and case analysis. In order to evaluate the systemicity and specificity of the 4P-SCLLM, a smart city living lab model, we recently compared it with the living lab process in Busan where smart city living lab is applied. As a result of analyzing, the analysis shows similar trends in each stage, and Busan's private sector showed a similar process to 4P-SCLLM On the other hand, public and private sector cooperation and support systems were found to be less than the 4P-SCLLM model And In technology and methodology, the 4P-SCLLM model is analyzed to have a living lab process that incorporates new technologies. In order to maintain the 4P-SCLLM continuously, first, participants and stakeholders need to participate actively and communicate while collaborating on the whole process from start to finish. Second, public awareness needs to be improved. Third, continuous citizenship verification of services is needed. Fourth, citizens' constant participation is needed. Through these implications, this study proposed 4P-SCLLM as a smart city living lab model suitable for the domestic situation.

The growth in the number of single-member households is a critical issue worldwide, especially among the elderly. For those living alone, who may be unaware of their health status or routines that could improve their health, a continuous healthcare monitoring system could provide valuable feedback. Assessing the performance adequacy of activities of daily living (ADL) can serve as a measure of an individual's health status; previous research has focused on determining a person's daily activities and extracting the most frequently performed behavioral patterns using camera recordings or wearable sensing techniques. However, existing methods used to extract common patterns of an occupant's activities in the home fail to address the spatio-temporal dimensions of human activities simultaneously. Though multiple sequence alignment (MSA) offers some advantages - such as inherent containment of the spatio-temporal data in sequence format, and rapid identification of hidden patterns - MSA has rarely been used to extract in-home ADL routines. This research proposes a method to extract a household occupant's ADL routines from a cumulative spatio-temporal data log of occupancy collected using a non-intrusive method (i.e., a tomographic motion detection system). The findings from an occupant's 28-day spatio-temporal activity log demonstrate the capacity of the proposed approach to identify routine patterns of an occupant's daily activities and to reveal the order, duration, and frequency of routine activities. Routine ADL patterns identified from the proposed approach are expected to provide a basis for detecting/evaluating abrupt or gradual changes of an occupant's ADL patterns that result from a physical or mental disorder, and can offer valuable information for home automation applications by enabling the prediction of ADL patterns.
