최근 딥러닝은 오디오, 텍스트 및 이미지 데이터와 같은 비 체계적인 데이터를 대상으로 다양한 추정, 분류 및 예측 문제에 사용 및 적용되고 있다. 특히, 의류산업에 적용될 경우 딥러닝 기법을 활용한 의류 인식, 의류 검색, 자동 제품 추천 등의 심층 학습을 기반으로 한 응용이 가능하다. 이 때의 핵심모형은 합성곱 신경망을 사용한 이미지 분류이다. 합성곱 신경망은 입력이 전달되고 출력에 도달하는 과정에서 가중치와 같은 매개 변수를 학습하는 뉴런으로 구성되고, 영상 분류에 가장 적합한 방법론으로 사용된다. 기존의 의류 이미지 분류 작업에서 대부분의 분류 모형은 의류 이미지 자체 또는 전문모델 착용 의류와 같이 통제된 상황에서 촬영되는 온라인 제품 이미지를 사용하여 학습을 수행한다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 통제되지 않은 상황에서 촬영되고 사람들의 움직임과 다양한 포즈가 포함된 스트릿 패션 이미지 또는 런웨이 이미지를 분류하려는 상황을 고려하여 분류 모형을 훈련시키는 효과적인 방법을 제안한다. 이동성을 포착하는 런웨이 의류 이미지로 모형을 학습시킴으로써 분류 모형의 다양한 쿼리 이미지에 대한 적응력을 높일 수 있다. 모형 학습 시 먼저 ImageNet 데이터셋을 사용하여 pre-training 과정을 거치고 본 연구를 위해 수집된 32 개 주요 패션 브랜드의 2426개 런웨이 이미지로 구성된 데이터셋을 사용하여 fine-tuning을 수행한다. 학습 과정의 일반화를 고려해 10번의 실험을 수행하고 제안된 모형은 최종 테스트에서 67.2 %의 정확도를 기록했다. 본 연구 모형은 쿼리 이미지가 런웨이 이미지, 제품 이미지 또는 스트릿 패션 이미지가 될 수 있는 다양한 분류 환경에 적용될 수 있다. 구체적으로는 패션 위크에서 모바일 어플리케이션 서비스를 통해 브랜드 검색을 용이하게 하는 서비스를 제공하거나, 패션 잡지사의 편집 작업에 사용되어 브랜드나 스타일을 분류하고 라벨을 붙일 수 있으며, 온라인 쇼핑몰에서 아이템 정보를 제공하거나 유사한 아이템을 추천하는 등의 다양한 목적에 적용될 수 있다.

With rapid development of ICT (Information and Communications Technology), new services by the convergence of mobile network and application technology began to appear. Today, smart phone with new ICT convergence network capabilities is exceedingly popular and very useful as a new tool for the development of business opportunities. Previous studies based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) suggested critical factors, which should be considered for acquiring new customers and maintaining existing users in smart phone market. However, they had a limitation to focus on technology acceptance, not value based approach. Prior studies on customer's adoption of electronic utilities like smart phone product showed that the antecedents such as the perceived benefit and the perceived sacrifice could explain the causality between what is perceived and what is acquired over diverse contexts. So, this research conceptualizes perceived value as a trade-off between perceived benefit and perceived sacrifice, and we need to research the perceived value to grasp user's continuous intention to use of smart phone. The purpose of this study is to investigate the structured relationship between benefit (quality, usefulness, playfulness) and sacrifice (technicality, cost, security risk) of smart phone users, perceived value, and continuous intention to use. In addition, this study intends to analyze the differences between two subgroups of smart phone users by the degree of personal innovativeness. Personal innovativeness could help us to understand the moderating effect between how perceptions are formed and continuous intention to use smart phone. This study conducted survey through e-mail, direct mail, and interview with smart phone users. Empirical analysis based on 330 respondents was conducted in order to test the hypotheses. First, the result of hypotheses testing showed that perceived usefulness among three factors of perceived benefit has the highest positive impact on perceived value, and then followed by perceived playfulness and perceived quality. Second, the result of hypotheses testing showed that perceived cost among three factors of perceived sacrifice has significantly negative impact on perceived value, however, technicality and security risk have no significant impact on perceived value. Also, the result of hypotheses testing showed that perceived value has significant direct impact on continuous intention to use of smart phone. In this regard, marketing managers of smart phone company should pay more attention to improve task efficiency and performance of smart phone, including rate systems of smart phone. Additionally, to test the moderating effect of personal innovativeness, this research conducted multi-group analysis by the degree of personal innovativeness of smart phone users. In a group with high level of innovativeness, perceived usefulness has the highest positive influence on perceived value than other factors. Instead, the analysis for a group with low level of innovativeness showed that perceived playfulness was the highest positive factor to influence perceived value than others. This result of the group with high level of innovativeness explains that innovators and early adopters are able to cope with higher level of cost and risk, and they expect to develop more positive intentions toward higher performance through the use of an innovation. Also, hedonic behavior in the case of the group with low level of innovativeness aims to provide self-fulfilling value to the users, in contrast to utilitarian perspective, which aims to provide instrumental value to the users. However, with regard to perceived sacrifice, both groups in general showed negative impact on perceived value. Also, the group with high level of innovativeness had less overall negative impact on perceived value compared to the group with low level of innovativeness across all factors. In both group with high level of innovativeness and with low level of innovativeness, perceived cost has the highest negative influence on perceived value than other factors. Instead, the analysis for a group with high level of innovativeness showed that perceived technicality was the positive factor to influence perceived value than others. However, the analysis for a group with low level of innovativeness showed that perceived security risk was the second high negative factor to influence perceived value than others. Unlike previous studies, this study focuses on influencing factors on continuous intention to use of smart phone, rather than considering initial purchase and adoption of smart phone. First, perceived value, which was used to identify user's adoption behavior, has a mediating effect among perceived benefit, perceived sacrifice, and continuous intention to use smart phone. Second, perceived usefulness has the highest positive influence on perceived value, while perceived cost has significant negative influence on perceived value. Third, perceived value, like prior studies, has high level of positive influence on continuous intention to use smart phone. Fourth, in multi-group analysis by the degree of personal innovativeness of smart phone users, perceived usefulness, in a group with high level of innovativeness, has the highest positive influence on perceived value than other factors. Instead, perceived playfulness, in a group with low level of innovativeness, has the highest positive factor to influence perceived value than others. This result shows that early adopters intend to adopt smart phone as a tool to make their job useful, instead market followers intend to adopt smart phone as a tool to make their time enjoyable. In terms of marketing strategy for smart phone company, marketing managers should pay more attention to identify their customers' lifetime value by the phase of smart phone adoption, as well as to understand their behavior intention to accept the risk and uncertainty positively. The academic contribution of this study primarily is to employ the VAM (Value-based Adoption Model) as a conceptual foundation, compared to TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) used widely by previous studies. VAM is useful for understanding continuous intention to use smart phone in comparison with TAM as a new IT utility by individual adoption. Perceived value dominantly influences continuous intention to use smart phone. The results of this study justify our research model adoption on each antecedent of perceived value as a benefit and a sacrifice component. While TAM could be widely used in user acceptance of new technology, it has a limitation to explain the new IT adoption like smart phone, because of customer behavior intention to choose the value of the object. In terms of theoretical approach, this study provides theoretical contribution to the development, design, and marketing of smart phone. The practical contribution of this study is to suggest useful decision alternatives concerned to marketing strategy formulation for acquiring and retaining long-term customers related to smart phone business. Since potential customers are interested in both benefit and sacrifice when evaluating the value of smart phone, marketing managers in smart phone company has to put more effort into creating customer's value of low sacrifice and high benefit so that customers will continuously have higher adoption on smart phone. Especially, this study shows that innovators and early adopters with high level of innovativeness have higher adoption than market followers with low level of innovativeness, in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived cost. To formulate marketing strategy for smart phone diffusion, marketing managers have to pay more attention to identify not only their customers' benefit and sacrifice components but also their customers' lifetime value to adopt smart phone.
