Patro Slide 3/5 Emergency service - proximity measurement Source node and destination node are BAN nodes Source node and destination node form a link and exchange data Emergency data generated in the case of deviation from the set norm Few examples Prevent baby’s day out Virtually monitor a kid in a swimming pool To maintain synchrony in rescue operations BAN link

Patro Slide 4/5 Destination node is a BAN node Source node is not a BAN node, attached to a object Source and destination form a link and exchange data Ill-function of the object may lead to a disaster, source node informs the condition of the object Few examples: Detection of tampered brake fluid lines or worn piston rings in a car Detection of battery heating up to the dangerous level in computing devices around the vicinity Emergency service - abnormal condition detection
