As the aged have increased due to the progress of medical science and the low birth-rate, the various cultures and industries for them are on the rise. The aged want to enjoy the diverse social activities and the culture content for spending their spare time. But they are liable to be restricted by the activities due to the physical, psychological, and mental disorder. This paper suggests a tangible bicycle game content and interface with the function of training and improving the lower part of body that is necessary to the old people's movement. The suggested game content can attract the interest of the aged by the familiar device, bicycle, and the game design for the old people. We develop the sensory interface for augmenting the immersion in the game. The aged can enjoy their spare time doing both game and exercise through the sensory interface and the real-time display of 3D graphics.

최근 전 세계적으로 노인 인구가 차지하는 비중이 갈수록 증가하고 있어 세계적으로 고령화는 미래에 우리가 직면하게 될 가장 큰 사회적인 문제로 대두되고 있다. 고령화 사회에 삶의 질을 향상하기 위해서는 고령자가 주체가 되어 생활환경의 설계를 위한 실버 운용 시스템의 구조적 변화의 방향성을 제시 할 필요가 있다. 이 과정에서 요구되는 사회적 커뮤니티는 실버세대에게 자신감과 즐거움을 제공하고, 삶의 질을 높이는데 중요한 역할을 할 것이며 기능성 게임 콘텐츠는 실버세대의 커뮤니티에 중요한 역할을 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 실버 세대의 여가 활용과 건강 유지를 위해 조작이 용이한 인터페이스 기술을 이용한 기능성 게임 콘텐츠인 두더지 밟기 게임을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 단순한 UI와 무선 인터페이스 기술을 활용함으로써 게임 조작의 용이성을 확보할 수 있고 근력강화, 균형성 및 유연성 기능과 더불어 재미와 흥미를 유발할 수 있도록 하였다.

한국은 이미 2000년 7월 1일을 기준으로 65세 이상의 인구가 전체 인구의 7.1%를 차지해 고령화사회로 진입했다. 본 연구는 이들 고령인구(이하 실버세대)의 선행연구 되어있는 컬러선호도와 제품/상품의 관여도에 따른 실제 구입컬러의 차이를 요인과 함께 분석함으로써 실버산업의 가능성과 컬러마케팅의 효용성에 관하여 연구하였다. 본 연구는 향후 맞이 할 고령화 사회에서 소비의 주체로 떠오르게 될 실버세대와 기업과의 커뮤니케이션에 있어 중요한 데이터로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

This study, in the perspective of universal design, newly suggests UD-WCAG 2013 for the evaluation of job information sites used by the silver generation. Using this, 13 senior clubs run by social welfare corporations chosen by the central and local government for the silver generation job information provision organizations to analyze the compliance status of web accessibility. The web compliance status analysis was done through a self-assessment tool from Korea Agency for Digital Opportunity and Promotion and UD-WCAG 2013. Although both analyses showed that there weren't differences according to region, the general level of compliance was shown as low. In the UD-WCAG 2013's 7 major categories the part about errors was shown providing appropriate solutions, but in the other parts it was shown that the all 13 websites were being run with insufficient consideration of the social and physical characteristics of the silver generation.

The U-Healthcare era has evolved with the development of the Internet of things (IoT) in the early stages of being connected as a society. Already, many changes such as increased well-being and the extension of human life are becoming evident across cultures. Korea entered the growing group of aging societies in 2017, and its silver industry is expected to grow rapidly by adopting the IoT of a super-connected society. In particular, the senior shift phenomenon has resulted in increased interest in the promotion of the health and well-being of the emergent silver generation which, unlike the existing silver generation, is highly active and wields great economic power. This study conducted in-depth interviews to investigate the characteristics of the new silver generation, and to develop the design for a wearable serious game that intends to boost the interest of the elderly in exercise and fitness activities according to their personalized physical training regimes as prescribed by the U-Hospital service. The usage scenario of this wearable serious game for the 'U-silver generation' is derived from social necessity. Medical professionals can utilize this technology to conduct health examinations and to monitor the rehabilitation of senior patients. The elderly can also use this tool to request checkups or to interface with their healthcare providers. The wearable serious game is further aimed at mitigating concerns about the deterioration of the physical functions of the silver generation by applying personalized exercise prescriptions. The present investigation revealed that it is necessary to merge the on / off line community activities to meet the silver generation's daily needs for connection and friendship. Further, the sustainability of the serious game must be enhanced through the inculcation of a sense of accomplishment as a player rises through the levels of the game. The proposed wearable serious game is designed specifically for the silver generation that is inexperienced in using digital devices: simple game rules are applied to a familiar interface grounded on the gourmet travels preferred by the target players to increase usability.

In this paper, the u-Service system that is based on location-aware technology is designed and implemented for a silver town. On the real silver town the developed system has been employed and tested to provide convenient and secure living for residents. It provides services such as emergency call, intelligent elevator operation, and hands-free door access based on the location of the residents with personal device as called smart tag. It can also be applied to other service areas such as the location-aware u-Service for hospital, high-rising complex building, APT, etc.

This paper is a study on the implementation of internet phone for silver generation based on RFID system. Together with the development of internet, the commercial internet phone is being used widely. However the usage of internet phone is still not convenient with silver generation. In this paper, we use one of the internet phone type called application method and 13.56MHz RFID technology to improve the usage of internet phone. The new silver internet phone can make a phone call only by using RFID tag that has a picture or some information of callee.

Advances in medical technology and living standards have led to an age of aging. In addition, the development of technology and the popularization of computers have led to the development of the contents business and the release of several functional games. Among these functional games, silver functional games are being played to solve problems such as dementia, a major problem in the aging era. In this study, prior research was analyzed to suggest factors that help design based on the kinetic elements of the design method of the motion-based convergence game for the leisure use of the silver generation. Based on the analysis, the model of exercise factors for preventing dementia is presented. This research design a silver motion-based functional game using the anti-dementia exercise model presented in this study in the future, we expect to see an effective and efficient silver game in the long term.

This study is influenced by the artificial intelligence based IOT which is emerging in the fourth industrial age. Also, at the time when the elderly population is soaring in the age of aging, the new knowledge and information literacy ability of the elderly population will be focused on the adaptation of the elderly people due to the ICT education effect. The purpose is to find out. The results of this study are as follows. First, it can be concluded that IT education has positive effects on digital capacity and quality of life of elderly generations and on actual IOT - based web mobile use. However, there were differences in competency depending on the existence and duration of information education and the division according to various criteria such as occupation and education, and accordingly, the provision of customized education in the fourth industrial age and quality of life, It also provides a comprehensive discussion and course presentation in the direction.
