Investigating personalization based on consumers' values and demographic characteristics will allow apparel manufacturers to attract target consumers. A survey method was used for the empirical study. Questionnaires from 420 respondents were analyzed using factor analysis, cluster, t-test, and ANOVA. The results indicated a significant influence of consumer values on customer service-related aspects of personalization. Female consumers demanded product- and information-oriented factors of personalization. Age, residential area, and clothing expense also had significant influence on the need for personalization of apparel shopping.

This research aimed to examine consumer's expectancy disconformation related to purchase satisfaction/dissatisfaction and post-purchase behavior in cable TV home shopping. A total of 700 questionnaires were randomly sent to cable TV home shoppers and 172 copies were used in final analysis. Frequency analysis. correlation analysis, analysis of variance, regression analysis, path analysis, and multinominal logit were used. The expectancy discoformation on \"fitting\" and \"how well the clothes suits oneself\" were significantly related to the complaint behavior of return and refund. TV home shoppers tended to express their complaints by requesting the home shopping company or the manufacture company for a compensation rather than express privately such as warning friends, stop buying and boycotting the item.

현대인들의 인터넷 사용률이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 소비자들은 오프라인 매장에서 의류를 구매하기보다 인터넷 쇼핑을 통한 구매를 선호하게 되었다. 그러나 온라인 구매로 인해 정확한 스타일 확인 불가 및 확신할 수 없는 사이즈로 큰 불편함을 겪고 있다. 따라서 최근 가장 떠오르는 기술 중 하나인 AR을 실생활에 적용하여 사용자가 매장에 가지 않고 집에서도 편하게 자신의 스타일링을 확인할 수 있도록 하는 AR 피팅룸을 구현하여 솔루션을 제안하고자 한다. 본 프로젝트에서는 3D 표현을 위해 Kinect Xbox 카메라를 사용하여 사용자의 신체정보를 추출한 후 unity와의 연동을 통해 사용자에게 편리함을 제공할 수 있는 AR-fitting 시스템을 설계하였다. 선택한 옷을 가상으로 입어 볼 수 있는 쇼룸 형태의 서비스를 제공하며 제스처 인식을 통해 보다 편리한 의류 선택 및 사이즈 조절 등을 가능하게 하였다. 또한, 사용자의 입력 정보에 따른 사이즈 측정 결과를 제공함으로써 사용자의 의류 구매를 보다 효과적으로 만들어 줄 수 있을 것이다.

기존의 추천시스템은 상품간 혹은 사용자 간의 유사도를 기반으로 작동한다. 하지만 이는 사용자가 유사한 상품 추천 속에 갇히게 되는 필터 버블의 문제와 추천시스템의 고질적인 문제인 데이터 희소성 문제를 피할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사용자의 취향과 체형 정보를 반영하여 사용자의 평점을 예측하는 협업 필터링 기반 딥러닝 추천과 상품간 비유사성을 고려하여 사용자의 평점을 예측하는 내용 기반 추천을 혼합한 하이브리드 추천 모델을 구축하여 기존 추천시스템의 문제점을 해결하였다. 모델의 성능평가를 위해 인터넷 의류 쇼핑몰을 대상으로 유사한 이미지를 활용한 하이브리드 추천 모델과 NDCG 값을 비교하였고 유사도가 낮은 이미지를 활용한 모델이 더 우수한 성능을 보였다. 이는 다른 제품과는 달리 소비자가 의류를 구매할 경우 이미 구매한 상품과 유사한 상품보다는 유사하지 않은 상품을 구매할 가능성이 크다는 것을 보여준다.
