Interactive TV의 주요 특징으로 고품질, 다채널, 다기능, 양방향성, 지능형 등을 들 수 있는데 그 중에서도 다채널화로 시청자들이 원하는 프로그램을 얼마나 쉽게 빨리 찾을 수 있을 것인가가 문제시되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 EPG(Electronic Programing Guide) User Interface Design을 함에 있어 레이아웃, 컬러, 텍스트, 아이콘 등의 시각적 요소들과 네비게이션이 잘 구성되어야하고 디지털방송시스템의 기능적인 구조적 특징들이 잘 어울려질 때 진정한 EPG의 사용자 인터페이스 디자인이 탄생한다. 본 연구에서는 현재 방송사들이 사용하고 있는 EPG의 인터페이스 디자인을 분석하고 Interactive TV의 인터페이스 디자인에 관하여 문헌을 통한 연구를 한다. 이를 통해 새로운 EPG 인터페이스 디자인을 들어감에 있어 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다. 사용자가 좀 더 편리하고 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 디자인을 개발하여 시청자들이 편리하게 사용하여 Interactive TV와의 대화가 원활하게 수행될 수 있도록 하는 것이 본 논문의 궁극적인 목적이다. 향후 본 연구에서 제시한 EPG 사용자 인터페이스 디자인 가이드라인이 EPG를 User Interface Design함에 있어 하나의 좋은 지침서가 될 것이다.

In terms of the product conforming to a social value of integration of digital and design, the importance of brick toys aiming at the convergence with digital technology in various ways has increased on the strength of expanded base of users and in pursuit of design innovation. Given that previous studies on bricks centered on the role as a tool of flay and education, it is true that studies on other indefinite potentials and expandability in light of multimedia have not been conducted. This study was initiated with a question how the brick system toys, which is gradually gaining popularity, has evolved and is aimed at examining the status of evolvement through study of basic theories and analysis of examples. Based on this, it is intended to explore the possibility of the digital brick system by executing design process utilizing examples of comprehensive brick system with expanded form.

The purpose of this study is to suggest areas for improvement of KakaoTalk. KakaoTalk is used by everyone in Korea, and even elementary school students have been using it a lot recently. Therefore, to help parents feel safe about their children using KakaoTalk, and to ensure that children are not worried about their parents when using them, I would like to examine each user's experience to pinpoint the problem. As a method of study, a survey and interview was conducted on eight parents and eight children using KakaoTalk. Through this, the parents could not trust KakaoTalk in terms of reliability when they saw their children using KakaoTalk. Based on this research, we hope to improve KakaoTalk through further research so that parents and children can use Kakao Talk safely.

This study aims to find a way to realize gender identity in product design. After reviewing the present research, it was found out that it is necessary to extend notion of gender and to redefine the concept of gender design. Specific products were selected in order to analyze the characteristics of femininity. Refrigerators, which represent the femininity the best, were chosen and analyzed based on the graphic elements. As a result, the concept of gender have been used quite limitedly in a refrigerator. Since the stereotype of women has already been implicit, it was considered difficult to propose an alternative plan for realizing the extended concept of gender. Therefore, digital devices have been proposed for a potential alternative group. This product group, of course, has a limitation like the refrigerators. However, when functions, frequency of use, and use of space are considered in depth, It can be a possible group that holds the meaning of gender in design. This study is significant that it attempted to examine the possibility of convergence in identity and usability when the graphic elements of a product are constructed by gender design that considers the identity of a user through redefining the concept of gender.
