Abstract

In order to come up with satisfying product and improvement, firms use traditional marketing research methods to obtain consumers' opinions and further try to reflect them. Recently, gathering data from consumer communication platforms like internet and SNS has become popular methods. Meanwhile, with the development of information technology, mobile companies are launching new digital products for children to protect them from harmful content and provide them with necessary functions and information. Among these digital products, Kids Phone, which is a wearable device with safe functions that enable parents to learn childern's location. Kids phone is relatively cheaper and simpler than smartphone but it is noted that there are several problems such as some useless functions and frequent breakdowns. This study analyzes the reviews of Kids phones from domestic mobile companies, identifies the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of the products, proposes improvement methods strategies for devices and services through SNS consumer analysis. In order to do that customer review data from online shopping malls was gathered and was further analyzed through text mining methods such as TF/IDF, Sentiment Analysis, and network analysis. Customer review data was gathered through crawling Online shopping Mall and Naver Blog/$Caf\acute{e}$. Data analysis and visualization was done using 'R', 'Textom', and 'Python'. Such analysis allowed us to figure out main issues and recent trends regarding kids phones and to suggest possible service improvement strategies based on sentiment analysis.

기업은 소비자가 만족하는 제품을 개발하고 개선하기 위하여 설문조사와 같은 전통적인 마케팅리서치 방법을 이용하여, 소비자의 의견을 듣고, 분석하여 반영하는 노력을 한다. 최근에는 인터넷 사이트, 사회관계망(SNS) 등 소비자 커뮤니케이션 플랫폼에서 관련 자료를 수집하고 분석하는 방법이 주목을 받고 있다. 한편, 급속한 정보통신기술의 발달과 함께 이동통신사들이 아동을 위한 디지털상품을 출시하고 있는데, 특히 유해한 콘텐츠로부터 아동을 보호하고, 부모와 아동들에게 필요한 정보와 기능은 보완된 디지털 디바이스들이 등장하고 있다. 이 가운데 키즈폰은 불필요한 기능은 없애고 아동들에게 기본 안전 기능을 담은 웨어러블 디바이스로서 부모가 쉽게 자녀의 위치를 실시간으로 알게 해주는 유용한 도구이다. 키즈폰은 스마트폰에 비해 저렴하고 간편하지만 고장이 잦고, 안전 이외에 유용한 기능을 기대하기 힘들며, 부가적인 기능들 또한 유용하지 못하다는 점이 지적되고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 이동통신사의 키즈폰(Kids Phone)에 대한 리뷰를 분석하여, 제품들의 특성과 장단점을 파악하고, 디바이스와 서비스에 대한 개선방안을 제안함으로써, SNS 소비자 분석을 통한 제품 서비스 개선 전략수립 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 국내 쇼핑몰의 리뷰 섹션에서 자료를 수집하고, TF/IDF, 감성분석, 네트워크분석 등의 텍스트 마이닝 기법을 활용하여 소비자 감성분석을 실시하였다. 고객 리뷰는 온라인 쇼핑몰과 네이버 블로그에서 크롤링하여 수집 하였으며, 통계/데이터 마이닝 및 그래픽은 'R'과 빅데이터 분석 솔루션 'Textom', 그리고 오픈소스 프로그래밍 언어인 'Python'을 함께 사용하여 분석하고 시각화하였다. 본 연구를 통해 각 이동통신사의 현재 제품(키즈폰)에 대한 소비자가 느끼는 주요이슈와 제품의 장단점을 파악할 수 있었으며, 더 나아가 감성분석을 바탕으로 키즈폰 제품의 서비스 개선전략 방향을 제안할 수 있었다.
