초록

As small electronic devices became popular, the demand for wearable devices increased and smart fashion products drew attention in the fields of sports and healthcare. However, their high price and limited purposes of use act as disadvantages, hindering the smart fashion market growth. To overcome these shortcomings, smart fashion accessories with user participatory design were proposed in this study. User participatory design is a type of design in which consumers directly involve in designing and using products to satisfy their needs and to express their individuality. Thus, this study aimed to propose a programming method of smart fashion accessories that could be applied with users’ desired functions. For this, the definition of user participatory design and smart fashion, and the case of smart fashion with user participatory design were studied. Next, the main components of smart fashion accessories were analyzed. Lastly, the basic programming method of two smart fashion accessories with user participatory design were proposed. The novelty of this study was to propose the programming method of smart fashion accessories with users’ desired functions. In this study, design variations are limited due to the use of basic components built in the board. As a follow-up study, a smart fashion accessory prototype with additional components such as an external sensor would be proposed to produce various applied designs. In addition, based on the basic coding designed in this study, the follow-up study would be conducted on the durability of the smart fashion products that can be used in daily life.
