碩士 === 實踐大學 === 工業產品設計研究所 === 90 === ABSTRACT The study is trying to research the portable electronic-products closely linked with human body. Due to the coming of the mobility society, the portable electronic-products have significantly influenced the sequence of everyone’s daily live gradually. The portable electronic-products have structured the inseparable connection with the body by wearing, carrying and porting .The relationship between object and body also advances the purely material level to abstractly mental level. Being in the fashionable system, men show different symbolic system by electronic products and spread out the special functions of electronic products while wearing them. It contains not only the communication level but also a lot of intangible incentives. In the background of materialistic culture, how designers transform the elements of innovation by analyzing the object and cultural ceremony behavior is the essence of the study. Most importantly, the study is that designers can develop portable electronic-products for the future by aligning cultural perception. By approaching the relation between the human body and portable devices, the researcher analyzes different directions such as emotion, symbol, ceremony, and the display of trunk, the technology, functions, material, color and form..etc. to explore the ideas. By researching the literature and analyzing the case studies, the researcher utilizes the elements of constructing the portable electronic-products and the symbolic value that spread out under the culture. At the premier point of cultural perception, designers can design new products, and make products more culturally meaningful. During the experiment, the researcher can estimate the feasible application in the design process model. Also, the researcher practices several design projects by using the design process model to experience and to adjust the theory. The study is anticipated to make designers more clear about the portable electronic-products, and a design approach that is applied by aligning cultural perception. The study is hopefully anticipated to provide the reference for the designers and the researcher who want to design the portable electronic-products.
