Non-medical applications of WBAN January 2007 Non-medical applications of WBAN OKI Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI

Agenda Example 1: Alarm for left things January 2007 Agenda Example 1: Alarm for left things Example 2: Body motion sensors to control TV game Why WBAN standard suited for the E-Charm applications? Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI

Example 1: Alarm for left things January 2007 Example 1: Alarm for left things If carrying important things are left somewhere, alarm beeps. Mobile phone Key Wallet Wristwatch ID card Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI

E-Charm for carrying things January 2007 E-Charm for carrying things Carrying things with E-Charms makes an ad-hoc network. If one thing is far away from other things, the network can notice it. Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI

Example 2: Body motion sensors to control TV game January 2007 Example 2: Body motion sensors to control TV game Motion of bodies controls TV games. Dancing Fighting Playing sports (Baseball, tennis, golf, etc) Exercising Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI

E-Charm for controlling games January 2007 E-Charm for controlling games Motion sensors are attached to arms, legs, heads, etc., and they make an ad-hoc network. The sensor data are gathered and sent to the game server. Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI

January 2007 Why is WBAN standard suited for the two applications by E-charm applications? The transmittable range up to 2-3 meters is desirable and enough for a network constructed within a human audible and visible range. WBAN standard is SAR-conscious. Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI

Why is RF-ID not suited for E-Charm Applications? January 2007 Why is RF-ID not suited for E-Charm Applications? E-Charm applications require to send date actively. Why is WPAN standard not suited for E-Charm Applications? The transmittable range up to 10 meters is too large. WPAN is not SAR-conscious. Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI

Conclusion WBAN standard should be open for non-medical applications. January 2007 Conclusion WBAN standard should be open for non-medical applications. Shigeru Fukunaga, OKI
