The purpose of this study was to find out older adults' current uses, satisfaction level and life changes by using digital home services. The study collected data from 140 persons who were 55 years and older living in a digital home. The results of the study showed that consideration level of digital home service installation was the major variable to affect the residents' life changes. In general, the residents who use more digital home services experienced higher positive life changes. Therefore, for older adults, various ideas to expand their understanding of digital home services should be developed to increase their positive life changes.

The supply of digital homes has been increasing but digital home services which meet consumer needs under the various conditions have not identified. The purpose of the study was to investigate the residents' characteristics living in digital apartments with comparison of their innovativeness toward technology. Residents who lived in two apartment complexes equipped with fundamental digital home services(Level 1 service) were selected to conduct the survey. A total of 500 responses were used for data analyses. Responses were classified into three groups based on their innovativeness toward technology for data analyses. The results of the study showed that residents' socio-demographic and housing related characteristics differed according to their acceptance trait of new technology. Early adopters and early majority were younger, higher income, and more educated than late adopters. Also, they were more likely to be renters and consider installation of digital home services before they moved in. Respondents who had higher innovativeness tended to experience more positive life changes after using digital home services and possessed more and many digital appliances. Remote control and remote meter reading service were the most preferable features among digital home services without no differences in three groups.

본 연구에서는 디지털홈서비스를 대상으로 요인분석을 하고, 각각의 요인들이 이용자의 호감도와 수용의사에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 정량적으로 분석하여 보았다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면, 요인 분석한 결과 양방향서비스, 안전관리서비스, 가족관리서비스, 의료관리 서비스, 위치영상서비스 등 다섯 개의 요인으로 분류되었다. 양방향서비스의 경우 연령이 적을수록, 인터넷 사용시간이 많을수록 요구가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 안전관리서비스의 경우 나이가 많을수록 요구도가 높았다. 가족관리서비스의 경우 30대가 가장 요구가 높은 것으로 나타나 어린아이를 키우는 연령대를 대변하는 것으로 나타났다. 의료관리서비스의 경우 연령이 높을수록, 인터넷 사용시간이 작은 그룹이 요구가 높은 것으로 나타나 연령간의 관심도에 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 호감도와 수용의사와의 관계에서는 결정계수가 0.661로 회귀선이 높은 설명력을 보였으며 호감도가 수용의사에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 호감도가 높을수록 수용의사가 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, the korean statistical information service reported that the elder people aged over 65 years take 11 percentage point of all population, indicating that the hyper-elder era will advent shortly. As a result, there are remarkably increasing demands for providing self-organizable home agent system for elder people. Of the home agent system, the ubiquitous home service is known to be useful to overcome this problem. However, current ubiquitous home services limited to provide functional services, and it can be observed that there is lack of consideration for elder-support products which are closely interacted with elder people in the living situation. In this paper, we analyze senior aids products that can be combined to the ubiquitous home service, and propose design procedure for senior aids products that can be applied to self-organizable ubiquitous services. We studied characteristics of elder people, current state of affairs for senior aids products, and home services that are highly required by elder people. Moreover, we observed that the ubiquitous home services related to health, safety, and amenity are urgently needed, and those services can be categorized according to residential areas. Following those observances, we proposed a design principle based on the universal design paradigm to provide self-organizable ubiquitous home service environment for elder people using senior aids products.

The supply of Korean housing has met the demand thoughout the fourth quarter of the twentieth century, and demographic, social and economic changes have been entailed. All the circumstances became a significant foundation to develop digital homes. This study was designed to find out the residents' current use of and needs for digital services, and the interview with three housewives residing in a recently developed digital home was conducted. The three households used most of the digital services, and favored cellular phone, as the main device to use digital functions, since it's small and easy to carry out and operate. It was noticed that the use and preference of digital services was likely to be explained by the lifecycle each household and the lifestyles of an individual. The participants didn't use the webpage of the digital home since the information contained in the web site wasn't quite useful. Also the interviewees perceived that digital home brings many conveniences and benefits. Currently, the main constraints for further development of digital home in Korea are affordability and the establishment of a variety of life scenarios from real situations.

A context-aware services platform supporting mobile agents consists of sensor nodes and a sensor coordinator. Sensor nodes collect environmental information and transmit the collected information to the sensor coordinator through wireless sensor networks. The sensor coordinator passes the information to the context-aware service module, and the mobile agent. The context-aware service module or the mobile agent performs services suitable for a user's situation based on the environmental information and a service actuation message is delivered to an actuation node through the sensor coordinator. In this paper, we present a context-aware services platform structure employed in our project, and describe context-aware services platform interfaces with a context-aware service module and mobile agents.

In this paper, we propose a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) proxy system, to provide services for accessing and sharing various DLNA-based media contents which are distributed over his/her or other's home facilities via home network or internet. The proposed system based on DLNA[1] and SIP Notification mechanism[2] so that data such as contents can be transferred from home network consisted with private IP from outside public IP networks.
