On the Road (1/2)
• Connecting PC and CE products– Interconnect all portable devices one would carry.
• Central devices:– UMPC, wearable display, headset/headphone
• Connection type: – Mostly portable to portable device to form a BAN
• Examples:– When on the road, such as in subway, bus or airplane, BAN
allows one to form a network in his/her vicinity. For instants, a PMP, a headphone and a wearable display can form a personal Body Area Theater.
– In many case, the portable devices can share their I/O devices. For instants, the MP3 player and the cell phone can share the same headset.

At Work (1/2)• Connecting PC and CE products
– Integrating PC, communication and CE devices to make a more productive office environment.
• Central devices:– Office PC
• Connection type: – Mostly portable to stationary device
• Examples:– Use office PC as a gateway to allow portable devices to connect to the Internet; – Connect your laptop PC to the projector in the meeting room;– Connect your desktop telephone to your PC so that you can make and answer
phone calls using either device. • For example, you find a contact in the address book in your PC. You click on the
contact, your phone then makes the call for you automatically.• As another example, your phone rings while you are listening to the music. Your PC
pop-up a window telling who is calling. Instead of picking up the phone, you answer the call by clicking the button on your PC screen and using your headset.
– You sync your Smartphone or PDA to your PC through BAN connection.

In the Car• Connect portable devices to car stereo and
control system
• Monitor your health condition for a safe drive, e.g. allow the car to generate an alarm if the driver become sleepy or drunk.
• Transmit personal profile to the car; such as seat, mirror and steering wheel positions.
• The car transmits driving statistics and maintenance data to the BAN.
• Destination can be transferred from the smartphone contact database to the car GPS system.
• The GPS Map and car data can be displayed in the glasses (HUD like)
• Play music stored in MP3 players through car stereo system.

BAN and It’s Long-Term Potential
• BAN will be able to support, directly or indirectly, the following business and technology trends.– Ubiquitous Health Care – Beyond Five Senses
• Augmented sensing capability by body sensors
– Fashion and Wearable Technology– Portable 3D and Virtual World Applications– Wearable Computer and New HCI Devices

Ubiquitous Health Care (1/3)• Body Senor Network
– Bedside monitoring– Implantable medical devices– Swallowable devices for drug delivery and imaging– Wearable sensors, such as EEG, ECG, blood pressure, body temperature, …– Hearing aids
• Elderly and Disabled People Care– Glucose level monitor
• Wellness/Fitness Monitoring– Heart rate, respiration monitoring– Temperature sensor– Pacing information

Ubiquitous Health Care (2/3)
• The aging of population is another fact that is happening in many countries.
• In US and European countries, retired parents usually don’t live with children. A system that can continuously monitor the health condition of elder people and share information with remote children or hospital will have great market.
• As an effort of catching this trend, Microsoft has rolled out its free service on the web on Personal Health Records that allow patients to collect and share their health data and allow doctors to access this data.
• BAN is the best technology for collecting this kind of health information.

Ubiquitous Health Care (3/3)
Blood pressure gets too high.
Blood pressure gets back to normal.
With this convenient way, elderly people can know their health condition without frequent doctor visits.
Meanwhile, doctors can still access the data and give their patients advises base on their data.

Beyond Five Senses – Augmented Senses
• We human being perceive and interact with outside world through sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.
• With body sensors and BAN, we can– Extend our five senses. For example, with infrared sensor or small camera
on our backs, we can sense whether there are malicious people hiding in the dark or following us at night.
– Create new sensing capabilities we have never had. For example, with GPS or other positioning systems, we can find local information not only through our eyes and ears, but also through these positioning information and database.
The LifeClipper Project
– BAN enables the sharing of sensed information or received positioning information among all devices in the network. Therefore the information can be processed by any wearable devices and hence provide us more value added information.
– BAN not only allow us to know ourselves better (through body sensors for health monitoring), but also know our environment better.

Fashion and Wearable Technology
• One of the major trends in the fashion industry is clearly the convergence of fashion and wearable electronic device, the so-called "Wearable Technologies”.
• It was predicted that within the next 10 years we could see 20% of garments with electronic components in them (prediction made in 2003).
• The ISPO 2007 Summer show in Munich, Germany, was a good demonstration of the trend. The event is the world's biggest trade show for sporting goods and showcases the latest trends and fashions for sports enthusiasts.
• This trend strongly indicates the advent of the “wearable era” and BAN can play a big role connecting these devices wirelessly.

3D, Virtual World Game and BAN
• 3D display and virtual world technology are also among important emerging technologies.
• Portable devices nowadays can run 3D games and display 3D contents on their screens.
• One big application in this domain is 3D gaming using portable devices, such as cell phones.
• To control or interact with virtual world games, many non-conventional human-computer interface devices have been developed, such as gesture recognition devices or sensor-equipped devices like WII controller.
• BAN provides a perfect method to connect these HCI devices to cell phones.

Wearable Computer and BAN (1/3)
• The vision– a mobile computer should not just be a machine that we put into
our pocket when we plan on doing some office work while on the road.
– Instead, it will be an integral part of our every day outfit (hence wearable), always operational and equipped to assist us in dealing with a wide range of situations.
• The Definition of Wearable Computer– A wearable computer is a computer that is subsumed into the
personal space of the user, controlled by the user, and has both operational and interactional constancy, i.e. is always on and always accessible. Most notably, it is a device that is always with the user, and into which the user can always enter commands and execute a set of such entered commands, and in which the user can do so while walking around or doing other activities.- by Steve Mann, May 12, 1998

Wearable Computer and BAN (3/3)• Challenges of Wearable Computer
– The main issues on the way to a truly wearable computer are:• adequate miniaturized input devices, • unobtrusive, see through displays with
high resolution and low power consumption,
• a user interface that is adequate for augmented reality wearable applications,
• compact, low power computer systems capable of dealing with the high signal processing and graphics load encountered in wearable computing,
• miniaturized sensors, • a wireless network technology for the
interconnection of the wearable components distributed over the users body (body area network)
