Clothing design is one of design products for human, the end user and corresponds to artifacts. Sometimes artifacts with one mono module exist, and so does artifacts assembled and combined with multi modules of same shape and size or various shapes and sizes and thus all design products can be understood by modularity concept. The purpose of this study was to make a new suggestion for the clothing design and production of high uniqueness and creativity by reviewing and synthesizing the foundation of clothing modularity concept as the original clothing design figures from the history have shown various modularity concept evolution from mono module to multi module stages. The methods of this study were to identify clothing modularity and analyze the type, evolving direction, and category of clothing modularity, and the value of clothing modularization design through comprehensive literature reviews on topic-related books and theses. The original clothing figures with Significance from the clothing history were analyzed in evolution sequence for application direction and value of clothing modularity in flat pattern. Clothing modularity in ancient clothing figures was classified as three types of the fixed, drapery, and straight lined in evolving direction from clothing of mono module to flat patterned clothing. The direction of clothing modularity was identified as mono- dual-triple-multi into another level of multi modularity after intentional devolution. The categorization of clothing modularity was identified in terms of clothing flat construction, clothing design construction, and clothing form modeling. The value of clothing modularization design using clothing modularity was identified as economical efficiency, convenience, promptitude, adaptability, functionality, and creativity.

웨어러블 컴퓨터가 점차 기술 중심의 패러다임에서 착용자 및 의복 중심 패러다임으로 변화 되어가는 현재, 착용자들의 다양한 욕구와 심리만족을 지원해주며, 또 자신의 스타일과 개성에 맞게끔 재구성이 가능하며, 편리하게 사용 할 수 있는 사용자 중심 인터페이스 디자인이 필요해졌다. 이를 위해 기존 의복에서 여밈을 위해 사용되거나, 외형의 형태를 만들거나, 의복의 탈/부착을 통해 다양한 기능을 변경하기 위해 사용되었던 의복 패스닝 시스템(Fastening System)을 이용해서 착용자가 마치 옷을 입는 것처럼 자연스럽고, 익숙하고, 친근한 웨어러블 컴퓨터 인터페이스 디자인을 하기 위한 연구를 진행한다. 이를 위해 의복 패스너의 다양한 특징과 그 활용 정도를 살펴보고, 웨어러블 컴퓨터에 적용 가능한 기술 요소를 추출하고, 의복 패스너 및 의복 구성 요소를 추출한다. 사용자 멘탈 모델 조사를 통해 의복 패스너의 분리/결합/조작을 하는 행위에서 어휘들을 추출하고 각 기능 모듈의 적절한 신체 부착 부위에 대한 사용자 조사를 시행한다. 이를 바탕으로 추출한 어휘와 의복 패스너의 특징, 그리고 인터페이스 요소 사이의 관계성을 연결하여 의복 패스너를 이용하여 기능의 분리/결합/조작을 지원하는 웨어러블 컴퓨터 인터페이스 디자인 요소를 도출한다. 도출된 의복 패스너를 통한 인터페이스 디자인 요소를 활용하여 착용자 각 개인의 다양한 개성과 심리적 만족을 위한 다양한 웨어러블 컴퓨터 기능들의 분리/결합/조작을 위한 인터페이스 컨셉 디자인을 제작하여 그 활용과 응용 가능성에 대해 연구한다.

The objective of this study was to develop clothing-type wearable motion sensing and feedback systems to enhance children's sports by promoting visual and audio feedback. In this study, several applications, such as fabric sensors, sportswear integrated with various types of fabric sensors, and fabric-based motion sensing module design, as well as a visual and audio feedback system for gaining a better understanding of a child's interest in a type of exercise, were developed. An SWCNT-based stretchable fabric sensor was developed for motion sensing, and sportswear was designed using the fabric sensor that was integrated into the limbs of the garment. The sensing module was developed, and sensory performance was evaluated through a joint motion experiment for children. In addition, using the feedback system that was developed in the form of an accessory, the responses of light and sound were also examined based on the movement of the child who was wearing the sportswear prototypes. This study focused on the development and assessment of prototype designs for children's sportswear and accessory products that can help to ascertain a child's interest in a particular exercise.

Recently, Study of functional clothing for Vital sensing is focused on reducing artifact by human motions, in order to enhance the electrocardiogram(ECG) sensing accuracy. In this study, considering the factors for each element found from the analysis, a 3-lead electrode inside textile embroidered with silver yarn was developed, and draft designs off our types of vital-signal sensing garments, which are 'chest-belt typed' garment, 'cross-typed' garment 'x-typed' garment and 'curved x-typed' garment, were prepared. The draft designs were implemented on a sleeveless male shirt made of an elastic material so that the garment and the electrodes can remain closely attached along the contour of the human body, and the acquired data was sent to the main computer over a wireless network. In order to evaluate the effects caused by body movements and the ECG-sensing capability for each type in static and dynamic states, displacements were measured from one and two dimensional perspectives. ECG measurement evaluation was also performed for Signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) analysis. Applying the experimental results, the draft garment designs were modified and complemented to produce two types of modular approaches 'continuous-attached' and 'insertion-detached' for the ECG-sensing smart clothing.

In accordance with escalating demands for advanced technology products, the smart clothing that includes embedded ICT technology have expanded into fields of daily life. As a result of this trend, interest in smart clothing with digitally controllable heating has rapidly grown and the market for smart heated clothing has also expanded. Increasing of prospect in smart heated clothing market, the effectiveness and thermal sensation research of the location on the pad attached is insufficient. This study was conducted to find the optimal location of heated clothing via experimental research on changes in skin temperature and subjective thermal sensation when heating pads were placed on different areas of the body. For this experiment, the subjects consisted of 10 males in their 20's of standard physique. The skin temperature at 11 different areas of the body, rectal temperature, and subjective thermal sensation were taken at different stages (before testing, after a 20 minute rest period, 20 minute treatment period, and after a 40 minute recovery period) in an artificial-climate chamber at $-5^{\circ}C$. As a result, the optimal location for heating pads in smart clothing was estimated and suggested.
