The Study of Smart appliances Accessibility Initiative Model(SAIM) of New Silver Generation

Smart appliances perform various functions in their role and purpose from the individual use to job assistant, and are changing new even the lifestyle of modern society. With the advent of these smart appliances lifestyle of modern society has been changed new and the user layers of the smart appliances also became diverse and complicated. Especially the new silver generation is frequently affected by physical and mental changes, and deterioration of the sense organs. Iset the hypothesis that the study is needed to improve their accessibility to smart appliances because they are not familiar with smart appliances. According to the findings, to analyze mental model of the new silver generation, the conceptions about the perception routes, learning ability, and response and reaction time of the new silver generation were investigated. And for the analysis of accessibility element to smart appliances, Idivided these elements into perceivability, operability, understandability based on smart phone and smart pad. The study was performed by dividing into screen size, display configuration, applications, operation mode, etc. in details. Based on these analyzed data Isuggested the plan for the improvement of smart appliances usability and the model for the improvement of smart appliances accessibility (SAIM). Through this study, it is expected for the new silver generation excluded from the smart appliance users also to access easily to them. In the next research I plan to carry out the study and the standardization of smart appliances UX design and applications for the new silver generation.
