사물인터넷 기술기반 가전제품 사례분석 연구 - 사물인터넷의 연결성을 중심으로 -

초록

A development of technology has been on the rise of hyper-connected environment that creates, collects, shares, and utilizes information with the connection between objects regardless of human intervention at anytime and anyplace, so called as Internet of Things (IoT). The major technology of IoT not only provides new services by collecting and analyzing certain information, but also has a potential to create new values by connecting existing objects and functions of them. This study conducted a case study of IoT-based household appliances in daily life, as a level of preliminary research to explore how our environment will be changed based on institutionalization and generalization of IoT technology. As a result of analysis, we categorized the cases as 4 types according to their functions, and we figured out that each product is loyal to one function, and supports one purpose or activity, however, it has a function to correspond to various circumstances of users. In terms of connectivity, IoT-based household appliances are more likely to focus on offering convenience to user by connecting and replacing functions of various existing home appliances and furniture, rather than providing completely new technologies and functions.
