Since the late 1990, "Smart clothing" has been developed in a various way to meet user centered design and human engineering that considered usability, wearability with clothing. Under this circumstance, research and development of smart clothing has been demanded usability and wearability test. But, Study of the usability evaluation for sensor based smart clothing is insufficient. In this study, we suggest criterion of usability evaluation for sensor based smart clothing that evaluate on the point of view such as wearability of clothing, interaction of clothing and devices, interaction of body and devices. we performed qualitative and quantitative test with developed smart clothing to present usability evaluation criterion for sensor based smart clothing. As a result, total 7 categories such as 'usefulness', 'wearability', 'appearance', 'riskness', 'facility of management', 'perceived change', were extracted as the usability and wearability criterion. Additionally, 28 factors of evaluation criterion for sensor based smart clothing were indicated on the result of this research. This study have meaning to indicate usability evaluation criterion for sensor based smart clothing.

최근 건강에 대한 관심의 증가와 고령화 사회의 진입으로 인해 센서 기반 스마트 의류는 다양한 어플리케이션과 타입으로 개발되고 있다. 센서기반 스마트 의류는 인체로부터 생체 신호를 측정, 모니터링을 주 목적으로하는 기능성 의류의 한 분야로 신호의 정확성, 기기의 착용성, 센서의 인체 적합성 등의 인체-기기-의류간의 상호작용을 고려하여 디자인되어야 한다는 점에서 기존의 스마트 의류와 다른 특성을 지닌다. 센서기반 스마트 의류의 이러한 특성은 의복의 제작 단계에 있어 요구공학의 단계를 기반으로 개발 목적에 대한 요구의 명확한 문서화 뿐 아니라, 각 단계 진행을 위해 기기분야와 의류분야간의 상호운용성 평가가 이루어져야 하는 필요성을 갖을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 요구공학이 적용된 센서 기반 스마트 의류 프로세스의 효용성 평가를 위해 실증적 수행 분석을 통해 스마트 의류의 기본 프로세스를 도출하고, 요구공학 분석기법의 단계를 도입하여 두가지 스마트 의류 프로세스를 도출하였다. 제시된 두 프로세스의 실증적 단계별 진행을 통해 프로세스의 효율성 및 디자인의 질적 평가를 수행하였으며, 요구공학이 적용된 센서 기반 스마트 의류의 프로세스의 효용성을 제시하였다.

This study examines consumer's acceptance intention of sensor-based smart clothing empolying the extended TAM. Technology innovativeness, information innovativeness and trust were used as external variables and perceived palyfulness was included in the extetended TAM. Data were collected from the adults over 20 years old living in Daegu from March 14 to 18, 2011. 193 useful copies of data were analyzed to investigate a structural model and test research hypotheses using AMOS 7.0. The study results showed that the extended TAM for smart clothing was validated empirically in predicting the individual's acceptance of sensor-based smart clothing and 10 hypotheses among 12 hypotheses were supported. Technology innovation, information innovation, and trust were confirmed as antecedent variables in affecting extended TAM. Perceived usefulness and perceived playfulness directly influenced acceptance intention and indirectly influenced acceptance intention mediating attitude. Perceived usefulness affected perceived playfulness and attitude affected acceptance intention. This study will help marketers and managers of fashion companies devise effective tools in planning marketing strategies related to smart clothing.

The purpose of this study is to utilize technology as basic data for smart clothing product research and development. This technology can recognize user's motion according to characteristics types and functions of wearable smart clothing products. In order to analyze the case of motion recognition products, we searched for previous research data and cases referred to as major keywords in leading search engines, Google and Naver. Among the searched cases, information on the characteristics and major functions of the 42 final products selected on the market are examined in detail. Motion recognition for smart clothing products is classified into four body types: head & face, body, arms & hands, and legs & feet. Smart clothing products was developed with various items, such as hats, glasses, bras, shirts, pants, bracelets, rings, socks, shoes, etc., It was divided into four functions health care type for prevention of injuries, health monitor, posture correction, sports type for heartbeat and exercise monitor, exercise coaching, posture correction, convenience for smart controller and security and entertainment type for pleasure. The function of the motion recognition smart clothing product discussed in this study will be a useful reference when designing a motion recognition smart clothing product that is blended with IT technology.

This study focusses on the development of a motion-sensing smart leggings prototype with the help of a module that monitors motion using a fiber-type stretch sensor. Additionally, it acquires data on Electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, and body temperature signals, for the development of smart clothing used in online exercise coaching and customized healthcare systems. The research process was conducted in the following order: 1) Fabrication of a fiber-type elastic strain sensor for motion monitoring, 2) Positioning and attaching the sensor, 3) Pattern development and three-dimensional (3D) design, 4) Prototyping 5) Wearability test, and 6) Expert evaluation. The 3D design method was used to develop an aesthetic design, and for sensing accurate signal acquisition functions, wearability tests, and expert evaluation. As a result, first, the selection or manufacturing of an appropriate sensor for the function is of utmost importance. Second, the selection and attachment method of a location that can maximize the function of the sensor without interfering with any activity should be studied. Third, the signal line selection and connection method should be considered, and fourth, the aesthetic design should be reflected along with functional verification. In addition, the selection of an appropriate material is important, and tests for washability and durability must be made. This study presented a manufacturing method to improve the functionality and design of smart clothing, through the process of developing a prototype of motion-sensing smart leggings.

The objective of this study was to develop a wearable systems that protect users, based on sensors that are easy to use, from accidents caused by harmful gases in the operator's poor working environment or the risk of ultraviolet rays during outdoor activities. By developing smart wappen with Light Emitting Diode (LED) light alarm function including UV sensor and gas sensor and central processing unit, systems that are applied to daily wear and work clothes to explore the possibility of user-centered, harmful environment monitoring products in real time were proposed. Each sensor was applied to sportswear and work clothes and the wappen system consisted of lightweight and thin form as a whole. Wappen to cover the device had one sheet cover on the front and another cover from the inside to form a sandwich like formation. Wappen was made in the same form as regular clothes that doesn't damage the exterior then a removable wappen system was developed using Velcro and snap methods to enable the separation of device or the exchange of batteries. De-adhesion method can occur in two ways, from the outside and from the inside, so the design is selected depending on the application. This study shows the significance of the development of sensor-based smart clothing, in that it presented a universal model for users.

본 논문은 스마트의류에 멀티센서를 장착하고 이를 통해 수집된 데이터를 기반으로 사용자 상황 및 행동을 추론하는 기법을 제안하고 이를 스마트폰 앱으로 구현하였다. 단일 센서로 사용자 상황 및 행동 추론은 매우 어려우며, 외 내부 환경, 온도, 진동 등에 따라 센서의 측정값이 달라지는 잡음환경에서, 잡음을 줄이면서도 사용자 행동을 판단할 수 있는 디지털 필터와 추론 알고리즘이 요구된다. 본 논문에서 EWMA과 칼만필터를 적용하고, 행동인지를 위한 3축 값을 하나의 대표 값으로 처리하는 SVM을 사용하였다.
