a coupling bracket coupled to the fixing bracket; and a first vertical bracket extending in the vertical direction from the coupling bracket and inserted into the vertical steel of the first frame module and the second frame module; wherein the first vertical bracket is fastened to the first frame module and the second frame module. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The smart wall of claim 5, wherein the third frame module is disposed on a side of a stack of the first frame module and the second frame module, wherein the fixing member further comprises a second vertical bracket inserted into the vertical steel of the third frame module. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The smart wall of claim 2, wherein the mounting cells of the first frame module and the third frame module comprise at least one of: a first mounting cell; a second mounting cell having a horizontal dimension equal to an integer multiple of a horizontal dimension of the first mounting cell; or a third mounting cell having a vertical dimension equal to an integer multiple of a vertical dimension of the first mounting cell. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The smart wall of claim 7, wherein the second mounting cell is provided in the first frame module, and wherein the third mounting cell is provided in the third frame module. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The smart wall of claim 1, further comprising: a first hook formed on the frame structure; and a second hook formed on the basket and fastened to the first hook. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The smart wall of claim 9, wherein the first hook is disposed on one side of the outlet module, and wherein the second hook is disposed outside the basket so as to be adjacent to the opening of the basket. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The smart wall of claim 9, wherein the second hook is hinged to the basket, wherein one side of the second hook is arranged outside of the basket and fastened to the first hook, and an opposite side of the second hook is arranged inside the basket, wherein, when a user applies force to the second hook, the one side of the second hook is separated from the first hook. ### Claim 12 A smart wall comprising: a plurality of frame modules including at least one mounting cell;
