웨어러블 컴퓨터와 휴대폰의 상호작용에 대한 연구

Abstract

The environment of the personal computer has been changed with development of the wireless network technology. A wearable computer is a computer that is worn on the body and a typical embedded system applying computing technologies to clothes or accessories. It consists of a group of small and connected wireless devices. These devices tend to be very small in size, and thus have limited computing resources and processing capability. The technologies that can detect the devices constituting the environment in itself, and that can determine the services provided by each device to control these wireless devices, are the key for a wearable computer. This paper proposes employing bridge middleware, which supports interaction services between wearable computer and mobile phone. The bridge middleware has been designed and implemented in a middleware that lends support to the wearable computing environment. It bridges the bluetooth, a typical wireless network standard without an IP, to the IP based UPnP network. We can not only provide services over interaction of wearable computer devices, but also propose the method of the better services over interaction of the mobile phone.
