  • Lately, in public libraries, there are various service programs for child user by corresponding to importance of reading based education and also a variety of changes by accommodating family based cultural life style. Therefore there is a need for space planning based study on unit-data room. This study gives guide-line of space planning through categorizing of space plot and furniture lay-out in child data room. The researcher, as a first step, searched web sites of 29 data rooms of 26 libraries and summarized space plots and features of data rooms through in-person visits. Then the author made a categorization standard and did a general analysis of featured data rooms through multiple categorization steps. There are Basic Type, General Type, Book-Shelf Centered Type, Book-shelf Scattered type and Multi-Functional Type out of this categorization steps. In sum, six categorizing bases, dividing infant room from child room, space zonning, position of entrance, compactness of reading space, position of book-shelf and orientation of book-shelf will be important design standards for child data-room of future libraries and an effective guide-lines for other unit data-rooms.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a compression inner layer (CIL) that can be attached to dress shirts for men who have gynecomastia (male breast enlargement). For this, we developed shirts with CIL prototypes based on the functional, expressive, and aesthetic (FEA) consumer needs model. The user-centered design principle guided the design process. Based on size measurements, in-depth interviews, and an online survey, the design requirements for dress shirts with a CIL were determined, and the prototype was developed. The dress shirts were constructed of polyester and spandex mixed materials, while the CIL was made of thin mesh fabric knitted from 80% polyester and 20% spandex. A CIL prototype was developed with a front zipper fastening to hold the upper body tight and compress the breast area. The CIL was attached by connecting a strap with snap buttons to loops sewn into the shoulder line of the dress shirt. In the trial and sensory test, the prototype helped breast size decrease while meeting target consumer needs. The outcomes of this study provide necessary insights to develop garments for gynecomastia patients.

  • To interpret a change of discourse can be a method to understand architectural space in progress. With this idea, features of modern age which motivated sense of the contemporary were considered in this study and subsequently characteristics of contemporary space differentiated from the modern were researched. First of all, features of subject which provided a base of modern thoughts were contemplated. The word 'modern' is used in wide and various terms but basically its core conception consists of reason and universal rationality. The subject of the modem age has vision-centric features just like an ideal representation principle of perspective. Given the fact, it was confirmed that a position to become a right subject, that is, a position controlled by reason existed and that it was to guarantee subject a truth. However, the contemporary subject keeps changing with a purpose of escaping from modern characteristics. It presents a tendency to escape from rationalism of the modern age and Platonism of the ancient Greece which established a basis of western ideology. The subject-centered ideas came to focus on the structure and relationship firmed fundamentally in deep inside of subject. The contemporary subject which escaped from the stiffen ideas bears a meaning through events taking place on immanence surface and serialization. Also, the contemporary architectural space is considered to go abreast with the change and trend. In conclusion, this study proved that features of event-oriented architectural space based on the changing contemporary subject appear as process-based space, user-participated space and individual-cognition space and the like.

  • In this study, a normative script was designed for service design of coffee shop based on user's current and expected script. 1) Activities contained in current and expected script were identified. 2) High frequency activities were selected from current and expected script. Then they were combined and sorted by scene. 3) Importance of the integrated scenes and activities was assessed. 4) According to certain rules, unnecessary activities were deleted, or excluded as optional activities. Then, the remaining activities were classified by scene and listed in order to complete one normative script. Each activity belonging to each scene became a service encounter. Scenes consisted of 'Entering', 'Settling', 'Ordering', 'Waiting for drinks', 'Receiving drinks', 'Spending time drinking beverages', 'Go to the toilet', and 'Get out'. There were 2 activities in 'Entering', 6 activities in 'Settling', 11 activities in 'Ordering', 2 activities in 'Waiting for drinks', 4 activities in 'Receiving drinks', 6 activities in 'Spending time drinking beverages', 3 activities in 'Go to the toilet', and 4 activities in 'Get out'. Specific points were discussed along with these results, and the significance and limitations of the study were added at the end.

  • Recently as the user experience's importance has been emphasized, there has been many tries of various research methodology in order to understand the user. Specially, as the political investigation method's user understanding method based on the statistical analysis so far has encountered a limit, there has been a continuous tendency to try to introduce a humanitarian or cultural anthropological methodology. As part of this effort, there has been many tries of various approach methods of the Ethnography which is the cultural anthropological typical research methodology, but among those the Diary Study Method is mentioned as one of the effective methodologies. Therefore this thesis applies the Diary Study Method to the notebook PC bundle SW's attitude research and tries a deep rooted research about the user attitude. Also centered to the project of understanding the notebook PC bundle SW's user receptivity. it shows a specific example of the Diary Study applied to the user understanding. Through this process, we will examine the summary about the Ethnography research method, and will discuss an effective research methodology by through the process of analyzing and deducting the user inclination by applying and designing the Diary Study to the project. That is to say, it was progressed by actually applying the research methodology through a specific case, with the purpose of breaking away from the textbook discussion and progress with an application aspect discussion. Through the current research, we will verify an active user-inclined process about the user's notebook PC SW, and it is expected to be useful in establishing a SW UX strategy and distribution related to the bundle software.

  • The statistical approach to quality control aims at alerting its user to any variations in the properties of a manufactured product. Motorola developed and pursued a quality management program called six sigma. The goal of six sigma programs is to improve customer satisfaction through reducing and eliminating defects. six sigma uses several statistical measure to characterize defect levels and process capabilities. The upper and lower specification limits are $\pm6\sigma$(sigma) from nominal, and the process mean is centered at nominal. only 0.002PPM are outside specification limits. Cp=2. this is the design target in a six sigma program. This article presents an important tool available for quality control of a production process at the occurrence of defects in manufactured products at view low levels to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing productivity and to satisfy customer through the reduction of defect rates. To understand the consequences of the level of quality on competitive position, a more technical perspective is needed.

  • 개인의 컴퓨터 사용은 업무와 오락에 국한되지 않고 삶의 한 부분으로 자리매김을 하였다. 이와 함께 컴퓨터와 통신 그리고 기능과 이동성이 한 곳에서 만날 때 사용자 중심의 이동 컴퓨팅이 나오게 된다. 사용자의 요구와 필요에 민감하게 대응하지 못하는 설계 방침은 시장에서 외면당하게 되고 사용자의 오감을 만족시켜주는 설계와 제품은 인기를 끌게 되는 것이 현실에서 시장지배의 키 포인트가 되었다. 이에 따라 사용자의 선호도가 중심이 되는 이동 컴퓨터 설계는 사용자에게 가장 중요하다고 생각되는 기능과 현재의 기술을 반영한 현실적 크기와 무게 그리고 사용자들이 바라는 통신 접속 기능이 일차적으로 반영되어야 한다. 이러한 원리를 반영한 제품들을 각종 포털 사이트와 사용자 포럼 인터넷 상점을 통해 찾아보고 사용자들이 가장 선호하는 설계 방향을 규명하는 것은 사용자의 소비 성향을 규정하는데 큰 도움이 되고, 사용자 중심의 이동컴퓨터 설계의 가이드 라인이 될 것이다.

  • 인터넷의 급성장으로 소프트웨어 환경이 웹으로 급속하게 전환함으로써 사용성 중심 설계가 새로운 패러다임으로 등장하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 중심 설계의 문제점을 보완하여, 사용성 중심 설계를 기반으로 효율적인 사용자 인터페이스 프로토타입의 생성과정을 제안하였다. 요구분석 시나리오를 기반으로 사용성 중심의 요구분서 프로세스를 개발하여 미숙한 설계자도 수준 높은 프로토타입을 개발할 수 있고, 프로토타입의 반복 횟수를 줄일 수 있게 하였다. 그리고 웹 환경에 적합한 사용성 중심의 사용자 인터페이스 프로토타입을 생성함으로써 통합 설계를 지원하기 위한 통합 모델링 언어(UML)를 지원할 수 있도록 하였다.
