This paper confirms the risk of using smartphone through the analysis of collected usage pattern and proposes the smartphone intervention system in risk situations. In order to check the risk of smartphone usage, we made information collecting application and collected smartphone usage pattern from 11 experiment participants for two months. By analyzing smartphone usage pattern, we confirmed that about 12% of smartphone usage is being used in driving, walking, and on the street. In addition, we analyzed the response rate of smartphone notification in risk situations and confirmed that user responds the smartphone notifications in real-time even in risk situations. Therefore, it is required to present a system that intervenes the use of smartphone in order to protect smartphone users in risk situations. In this paper, we classify risk situations of using smartphone. Also, the proposed smartphone intervention system is designed to periodically detect risk situations. In risk situations, smartphone function can be restricted according to user setting of smartphone. And smartphone can be used normally when safe situation is restored.

The purpose of this study were to investigate the conceptual framework of situational vari-ables, and to find out the causal relationships of apparel buying behavior on usage situations and consumer characteristics. Data were collected viaa questionnaire developed on the previous studies from 386 housewives living at Seoul and Pusan, and analyzed by T-test, Factor analysis, and Path analysis. Results indicated that there were significant differences of apparel buying intention on the types of apparel usage situations. The communi-cation situation was found to be composed of Printed Information and Interpersonal Infor-mation, and the buying situation to be composed of Consumer Conditions, such as weather or mood, Shopping Company, Store Atomosphere, Display, and Store Service. The product char-acteristics considered by consumers in apparel buying process were composed of Practically, Fashionability, Brand, and Approval of others. The causal relationships of apparel buying behavior were significantly different on the types of usage situations and the degree of clothing in-volvement.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the casual relationships of situational variables and consumer characteristics on apparel buying behavior. data were collected via a questionnaire developed on the previous studies from 534 housewives living at Seoul and Pusan, and analyzed by Path analysis. Results indicated that consumers were affected directly by the buying situation and the usage situation, and indirectly by the communication situation and the consumer characteristics on apparel buying behavior. The buying situation was a variable that most affected consumers'apparel buying behavior. Apparel consumers showed the common situational effects on apparel buying behavior as did on consumer behavior of the other consumer goods.

System response times(SRTs) are getting important while increasing the function of system. In the past, most research studied SRTs on situation of computer usage. There are lacking the research on simple domain. This study focuses on behavioral and emotional effect on situation of cell phone usage(experience 1; independent variables: degree of SRTs, dependent variables: behavioral and emotional evaluation). And this study investigates the behavioral and emotional effect in same SRTs on different situation(experience 2; independent variables: degree of SRTs, usage mode, dependent variables: behavioral and emotional evaluation, stress, mental strain). The result indicated that long SRTs increased problem solving time and negative emotion. User evaluated the system differently according to usage mode after they performed the same task. In other word, if user had a strong goal, then they felt more negative emotion and mental effort than the user don't have a strong goal. In the goal mode group, it was important there are being of delay or not. This study demonstrated that SRTs and usage mode influence user's emotion and behavior performance in same task.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of self-monitoring (SM), the task situation and the appeal type of advertising impact on consumer behavior: in inner wear purchase. Information for the study was obtained with the use of experimental design. the experimental materials for the study were two-type inner wear advertisements (image appeal Ad/product appeal Ad). The subjects were 270, who were randomly sampled women undergraduate students in Korea, and main-test subjects (70 high SM subjects/69 low SM subjects) were assigned to the cells of 2 (self usage/gift-giving)x2 (quality appeal Ad/image appeal Ad). According to the 2x(2$\times$2) mixed factorial design, the level of SM score, the type of task situation score and the level of appeal type of advertising score were compared and tested by analysis of ANOVA. The results of experiment were as follows: 1. Experimental 1. the results showed the product preference on inner wear was the significant 3-way interaction effects among the degree of SM, the task situation, and the appeal type of advertising as well as the significant main effects of the appeal type of advertising. That is, the situation impact differs from the appeal type of advertising according to the degree of SM. 2. Experimental ll. the results showed the purchase intention on inner wear was the significant 2-way interaction effects between the appeal type of advertising and the task situation as well as the significant main effects of the appeal type of advertising and the task situation. That is, there is considerable difference in gift-giving situation rather than in self- usage situation according to the appeal type of advertising.

People have competing desires. Hence, people not only chase others' choices due to the need for assimilation but also avoid others' choices due to the need for differentiation. This study attempts to uncover under which conditions consumers assimilate with or differentiate from others' choices. Specifically, the study extends previous research about the effect of others' choices by focusing on the effect of a choice situation (purchase vs. usage) based on the conformity theory and the uniqueness theory. It was found that purchase (vs. usage) situation makes people more conform to others in case of identity-irrelevant product (e.g., USB memory stick). Also, the effect of the choice situation was moderated by the perceived identity-relevance level in case of identity-relevant product (e.g., jeans).

The study was to find out the current situation of supply and demand of apparel CAD systems in Korea. Also it was hoped to gather any valuable information about the current usage of apparel CAD systems for the development of the enhanced apparel CAD system. Three interviews were carried out for the study. The first interview with the importing agents was to find out the apparel CAD system's supplying situation. The second interview with the users of apparel CAD system was about the usage of the systems and related informations. The last interview was about the pattern making facilities, which was pointed out by the users to be the most inconvenient part of apparel CAD systems. The results of the survey were: 1. The supply and demand of apparel CAD systems is increasing. 2. The education, training, maintenance of the system should be improved by the supplier. 3. Apparel CAD systems are used for various production systems in the apparel industry. 4. 100% of the systems are utilized for pattern input and 89% of the systems are utilized for marker making. Only 15% of the systems are utilized in pattern making process, which 80% of the users realize to be computerized. 5. The most serious barrier to the better usage of the system is the communication with the system in foreign language. This barrier could be lifted when Korean apparel CAD system is developed.
