This study is to examine the effect of the purchase intention toward smart clothing on the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, trust, and social influence, and the moderating effect of the customers' characteristics like the trend and information innovation. After pictures about the smart clothing for biometric measurement were provided, 256 questionnaires targeted at 20s were gathered. The results of this study are as follows. First, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived enjoyment had an positive effect on the purchase intention of smart clothing. Second, interactions between perceived enjoyment, trust, and social influence and trend innovation had an effect on the purchase intention of smart clothing. Finally, interactions between perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and social influence and information innovation had an influence on the purchase intention of smart clothing. This study can provide various guidelines for researches and companies relative to smart clothing.

본 연구에서는 스마트 의류에 대하여 소비자들이 느끼는 지각된 가치가 소비자 수용도에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 MP3 기능 재킷과 심박 모니터링 스포츠웨어를 대상으로 소비자들의 수용도에 대한 연구모형을 수립하였고, 선행연구들을 근거로 각 구성요인 간의 관계에 대해 연구가설을 설정하였으며, 그 경로가설을 검증하였다. Davis(1989)가 제안한 TAM을 적용하여 스마트 의류의 수용과정을 설명한 결과 모형의 적합성을 검증하였으며, 8 개의 경로가설 중 6 개의 경로가 통계적으로 유의함이 밝혀져 채택되었다. 그 결과는, 첫째, 지각된 사용용이성은 유용성을 거쳐 태도에 간접적으로 영향을 주었고, 태도는 다시 수용의도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 지각된 유용성은 지각된 가치에 대한 태도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으나, 스마트 의류의 수용의도에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 지각된 가치가 스마트 의류에 대한 태도와 수용의도에 둘 다 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 스마트 의류에 대한 태도는 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

최근에 장시간 근무로 인한 대중교통 운전자들의 부족한 휴식과 수면, 통증, 정신적 스트레스 등은 피로 누적를 초래하여 대중교통 사고의 주요 원인으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 2016년 산업통상자원부 산업융합촉진사업의 일환으로 대중교통 운전자용 다중 생체 신호측정 스마트 의류 및 관련 시스템이 개발중에 있으며 본 논문에는 현재 개발중인 스마트웨어러블 의류의 내세탁성능에 대한 성능 시험방법을 제안하고자 한다. 성능시험 방법은 국내외 생체신호측정 스마트 의류의 care label(취급표시사항)을 통하여 hand wash의 조건으로 세탁을 표시하고 있으나, 1년의 warranty를 위한 시험을 위해서는 오랜기간이 필요하기 때문에, 좀더 가혹한 조건으로 진행하여 시간을 줄이고, 고객의 빠른 시장출시를 지원하도록 시험방법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we proposed the clothing management system using the smart hanger. Proposed system consists of smart hanger, base module, and server, and the smart hanger consists of MCU, LED, RFID reader, RF chip, ring sensor, and battery. The smart hanger reads the RFID tag attached to the clothes and wirelessly transmitted to the server. The server associated base module communicates with the smart hanger and transmits information to the server. The server manages clothing through the DB, and can display various information through the web page and the smart phone. In order to verify the usefulness of the proposed system, we did experiment with the management system for clothing store and laundry where using a lot of hangers. Performance tests of the smart hanger are applied to check the current consumption and can be predicted the battery life with the proposed low power algorithm. The clothing store management system can be increased sales and convenience of the consumer. The laundry management system can be increased the efficiency of laundry category and convenience of the consumer.

The purpose of this study was to explain the attitudes and acceptance toward the smart clothing adopted by the TAM(Technology Acceptance Model). A theoretical model on consumer acceptance of the commercialized smart clothing was constructed on the basis of previous studies and a review of literature and tested the path analysis. For the data analysis, statistical methods of confirmatory factor analysis, correlation, and covariance structural analysis using AMOS 5.0 package were employed. The results from a web-based survey of 557 online consumers indicate that the TAM by Davis(1989) adopted by perceived value according to market price was able to explain consumer acceptance of smart clothing substantially well. Using structural equation modeling, eight of the six hypotheses investigated in this study were supported. The results of the testing of the hypothesis were as fellows: First, perceived ease of use had a side effect on attitude through perceived usefulness. In addition, the attitude was found to affect consumer acceptance. Second, perceived usefulness was found to affect consumer attitude on perceived value, however, had not significant effect on consumer acceptance toward smart clothing. Third, perceived value was found to affect both consumer acceptance and attitude toward smart clothing. Finally, the attitude toward smart clothing had a direct effect on the consumer acceptance.

This study evaluates a program developed for a high school-university linked class. The program combines maker education and smart clothing technology, which has great potential. First, in the preparation stage, the dyeing design course incorporates the contents of previous studies on smart clothing and maker education. Second, in the development stage, a program was developed to make emotional eco-bags by applying the transfer dyeing technique using transfer paper for inkjet printers and smart clothing technology using conductivity thread and LED bulbs. Third, in the implementation stage, the class was offered to 17 high school students who want to major in clothing and textiles. Lastly, the class was evaluated. The program had a 4.95 satisfaction level as measures on a five-point scale. Furthermore, this paper suggested an advanced program with Lilypad Arduino. In conclusion, through this study, it was confirmed that the emotional eco-bag development program applied with conductive yarn and transfer dye could more easily produce smart clothing technology, thereby expanding the thinking of high school students regarding the clothing major.

본 연구에서는 시판 중인 디바이스를 활용하여 외관에서는 기성복의 스타일을 유지하면서 기능성을 부여한 노년 여성을 위한 스마트 재킷을 개발하였다. 노년기에 접어들면서 시력은 약화되며 효과적인 체온조절도 저하된다. 이에 열과 빛의 기능을 제공하는 연구재킷을 제작하고 노년층 소비자들의 평가를 실시하여 그 수용가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 재킷에 대한 만족도 평가는 전문가 외관 평가 및 소비자 착용 평가로 실시되었으며 재킷의 피트성, 활동성, 디바이스의 기능성, 수용 가능성 여부 등을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 전반적으로 높은 만족도를 보였으며 노년층에서도 충분히 미적요소와 기능성이 결합된 스마트 의류가 일상복으로 받아들여질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 여전히 스마트 의류의 문제점 중의 하나인 디바이스의 무게를 경량화 할 수 있는 방법이 모색되어야 할 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과가 노년층을 위한 스마트 의복의 가능성과 만족도 향상을 위한 방안을 제시하는 기초 자료가 되기를 바란다.

In this paper, we propose a method to infer the user's behavior and situation through collected data from multi-sensor equipped with a smart clothing and it was implemented as a smart-phone App. This smart-clothes is able to monitor wearer users' health condition and activity levels through the gyro, temp and acceleration sensor. Sensed vital signs are transmitted to a bluetooth-enabled smart-phone in the smart-clothes. Thus, users are able to have real time information about their user condition, including activities level on the smart-application. User context reasoning and behavior determine is very difficult using multi-sensor depending on the measured value of the sensor varies from environmental noise. So, the reasoning and the digital filter algorithms to determine user behavior reducing noise and are required. In this paper, we used Multi-black Filter and SVM processing behavior for 3-axis value as a representative value of one.
