Abstract—The digital home service proposed here is intended
to implement an emotional interface in relation to each user’s
condition by applying living-related convergence technology
including IT, BT, electronics and architecture to the residential
environment. The digital home service system operates in the
order of information recognition, signal transmission, integrated
control, expression. We have implemented a system that works
with the concept step by step weight forest, the sea, healing,
depending on the body weight of the signal. To find out user
preferences for the proposed system, a demonstration setting
was installed. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 300
participants in the setting. The survey results showed user
satisfaction was high in the order of lighting, sound, vibration.
The user recognition sensing, systerior and LED/optical fiber
emotional lighting system are integrated into the proposed
digital home service. The emotion-oriented customized service
based on the information of user condition allows users to
control their surroundings at their own discretion. And this
study implemented the service infra capable of accommodating
user preferences with the convergence of heterogeneous
technologies and industries in a relatively less objective field of
emotion, which is prone to individual differences.
Index Terms—Emotional convergence technology, digital
home service, user interface, system interior, interaction.
