Image making for a person is a way to improve various factors that can express oneself, such as appearance, impression, and confidence. In general, people use mirror or camera as a traditional method to make their own image or perform presentation exercises. Recently, as smart mirrors are widely used in various fields, attempts to use smart mirrors as image making tools instead of mirrors have been frequently made. Smart Mirror is considered as a suitable tool to provide image making service because it can attach various devices such as a camera and a microphone in addition to the main advantage of a mirror that it is easily accessible. In this paper, we present BuddyMirror - a smart mirror software that provides image-making service to users, and a dedicated mobile app for flexibly running the mirror software. BuddyMirror provides functions for presentation, mock interview, and styling service at the request of users, interworking with the dedicated mobile app. We also describe the techniques developed for implementing and activating each of the new services as a module of MagicMirror, a widely used smart mirror development platform. The developed mobile app enables users to deliver presentations to BuddyMirror or to download the recorded video for image-making services.

Rapid changes to the paradigm of smart media have created a communication environment through merging with various media such as IoT technology, which is internet of things. Among them, user' need for a start home, which is one of people living conditions, has been growing and values of the communication environment in a living space using a smart mirror have been growing. However, studies on figuring out behavior and analyzing needs of family members who actually use the living space are insufficient. This study is to draw the service system of the home smart mirror by analysis of behavior and needs of users of the living space. For a research method for analysis of behavior of family members, I wrote two kinds of user's experience maps, which are frequency of use of a quantitative space of a living space and space's important value scales by persona study and depth interview. Through this, applied spaces of the home smart mirror (living room, bathroom, powder room, dress room, porch, kitchen, room) and the types of user needs (type of providing information, entertainment type, control type, service type) have been drawn and statistical analysis methodology has been utilized for a research of user preferences in regard to correlation between living spaces and types of user needs based on a survey. As a result of analysis of ages and gender, types of user needs by space have been drawn and the service system of the home smart mirror has been drawn. It would be utilized as a basic material for various contents development and design using the smart mirror in the future.

As IoT Technology develops and Era of Hyperconnectivity comes, various kinds of customized services became available. As a next-generation display, a smart mirror accesses multimedia devices and provides various services, so it can serve as a social learning tool for the children and the old ones, as well as adults who need information. Smart Mirror must be able to identify users for individualized services. However, since the Smart Mirror is an easily accessible device, there is a possibility that information such as an individual's pattern and habit stored in the smart mirror may be exposed to the outside. Also, the other possibility of leakage of personal location information is through personal schedule or appointment stored in the smart mirror, and another possibility that privacy can be violated is through checking the health state via personal photographs. In this research, we propose a system that identify users by the information the users registered about their physique just like their face, one that provides individually customized service to users after identifying them, and one which provides minimal information and service for unauthenticated users.
