Because infants lack full communication skills and are not active main agents, nurturing and protection are essential. The value of smart devices that can help prevent potential threats and manage infant care is evaluated highly. This study offers basic research data that contributes to the development of devices for infant and parents as well as to future planning. This study compared and analyzed literature materials and visual materials based on news articles, advanced research, and official websites of brands. The research ranges and subjects are wearable devices for infants that were released or will be released between 2014 and 2017. Wearable devices that help protect and manage infant care are roughly separated into clothing, accessory, and the like. In this study, four kinds of clothing products, six kinds of accessories products, and fifteen kinds of other products were researched and a total of 25 kinds of products were analyzed. Categories was made in accordance with morphological characteristics, main features, materials and the design of wearable devices for infants depending on the device features. Wearable devices for infants that will be developed in the future must be based on a variety of suggestions in order to know best how to attach a sensor to an infant. From this study, the deduced trend analysis of wearable devices for infants can suggest new ways for follow-up studies as well as product development.

Wearable input device that can make free-space typewriting possible is introduced. We named this device as $SCURRY^{TM}$. To measure the angular velocity of hand and the acceleration rates at the ends of fingers, we buried MEMS inertial sensors in this keyboard. We processed sensor signals to get the information on hand movement and finger-click motion. With this signal processing, apparent finger movements were depicted over the virtual keyboard shown on output device of a target computing system. In this paper, a finger-click recognition method is proposed to improve the recognition performance for finger clicking of $SCURRY^{TM}$. The proposed method is composed of three parts including feature extraction part, valid click part, and cross-talk avoidance part. The experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithms.

Input devices of wearable computer are difficult to use, so a lot of alternative pointing devices have been considered in recent years. In order to resolve this problem, this paper proposed a dynamic gain control method which is able to improve the performance of wearable pointing device and showed an experimental result comparing this method with conventional method. Also the effects of methods were compared in terms of device (wearable and desktop). The result of calculating throughputs(index of performance) by Fitts' law showed that the pointing performance in dynamic gain condition was improved 1.4 times more than normal gain.

Purpose As the smartphone market arrived at its saturation, from world leading information and communications technologies (ICT) businesses to startups, companies are competing to develop innovative wearable device products and suitable contents. Utility, technology, design, price, and various killer contents development targeting every customer's need should be considered for a success in the wearable device market. Design/methodology/approach Prior studies on innovation technology of ICT field have mainly focused on the innovation diffusion theory, expectation confirmation theory, and technology acceptance model, this study suggested the innovation resistance factors of adopting the smart wearable devices based on the innovation resistance model and theory of perceived risk. The model comprises the following two characteristics factors: 1) innovation characteristics which include perceived relative advantages, perceived compatability, perceived complexity, and perceived risk, 2) consumer characteristics which include attitudes towards innovation and existing products (i.e., mobile devices and analog watches). This study developed an extended innovation resistance model to explain the intention to acceptance of wearable devices consumers and collected 284 online survey responses from the non-consumers of the wearable devices. Findings The findings of this study suggest that perceived relative advantage, perceived compatibility, perceived complexity, perceived risk, attitudes towards innovation and attitudes towards existing analog watches affected the innovation resistance which has negative influence on the intention to adoption of wearable devices.

Background: Physical activity and quality of life (QOL) influence the health status of older adults. Recently, the use of wearable devices to monitor physical activity has increased. Objects: This study examined the relationship between the amount of physical activity, measured using a wearable device, and QOL among older adults. Methods: In total, 71 older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) were enrolled. The amount of physical activity was measured using a wearable device with a wrist strap, and daily physical activity was classified according to intensity (sedentary, light, moderate, or very active). Self-reported QOL was evaluated using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses were conducted to analyze parametric and non-parametric variables, respectively. The relationship between amount of daily physical activity and SF-36 scores was assessed. Results: The correlation analyses revealed positive correlations between the amount of moderate-intensity and very active physical activity (minutes/day) and SF-36 scores (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Physical activity of at least moderate intensity is associated with better QOL in older adults. Further studies are required to verify the effects of increased physical activity on QOL in older adults.

복수 개의 웨어러블 디바이스는 휴대성 때문에 유선으로 통신하는 것이 적합하지 않다. 복수 개의 웨어러블 디바이스가 서로 통신 할 때 우수한 통신 품질과 그룹 활동 특징 때문에 무선통신 방법을 이용한다. 본 논문에서 복수 개의 웨어러블 디바이스들의 그룹형 디스플레이를 위한 그룹결정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이것은 무선통신 환경에서 여러 개의 웨어러블 디바이스들이 단체동작 디스플레이를 할 때 거리측정을 통하여 그룹멤버로 인지하는 그룹결정 알고리즘을 의미한다. 실험결과 복수 개의 웨어러블 디바이스들의 그룹 디스플레이가 단일 웨어러블 디스플레이의 한계를 극복하였음을 보여주었다.

스마트 워치, 스마트 밴드 같은 웨어러블 디바이스가 개발됨에 따라, 웨어러블 디바이스 사용자의 건강상태를 측정할 수 있는 생체신호 모니터링 기술이 각광 받고 있다[1]. 하지만 한 개의 웨어러블 디바이스에서 여러 가지 생체신호를 측정하기 위해 웨어러블 디바이스에 여러 가지 생체신호 센서를 내장하게 되면 디바이스 자체 크기와 같은 제한적인 자원 측면에서 문제가 발생한다. 또한 새로운 생체신호 센서를 추가 할 때 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 웨어러블 디바이스 사용자의 요청이 있을 때 가속도 센서, ECG 센서, PPG 센서를 Cradle형태의 모듈에서 동작시킨 후 사용한 센서에서 측정되는 생체 신호를 실시간으로 수집하여 다른 웨어러블 디바이스로 전송할 수 있는 플러그인(Plug-in) 모듈인 Bio-Cradle을 제안한다. Bio-Cradle은 다른 웨어러블 디바이스에 플러그인하면, 디바이스의 종류에 무관하게 동기화 된 다수 생체신호를 전송할 수 있다. 즉 Bio-Cradle을 사용함으로써, 다수 생체신호의 동시 측정이 가능해지고, 웨어러블 디바이스 내부에 생체신호 센서를 내장 할 필요가 없어진다.
