The latest computer craze has been to be able to wear wireless computers.
The Computer Fashion Wave, "Digital Jewelry" looks to be the next sizzling fashion trend of the technological wave.
.. The whole concept behind this is to be able to communicate to others by means of wireless appliances.
What is digital jewelry?
Digital jewelry is the fashion jewelry with embedded intelligence.
“Digital jewelry” can help you solve problems like forgotten passwords and security badges.
They have the potential to be all-in-one replacements for your driver’s license, key chain, business cards, credit cards, health insurance card, corporate security badge, and loose cash
DIGITAL JEWELRY AND ITS COMPONENTS:
Earrings - Speakers embedded into these earrings will be the phone's receiver.
Necklace - Users will talk into the necklace's embedded microphone.
Ring - Perhaps the most interesting piece of the phone, this "magic decoder ring” is equipped with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that flash to indicate an incoming call. It can also be programmed to flash different colors to identify a particular caller or indicate the importance of a call.
Bracelet - Equipped with a video graphics array (VGA) display, this wrist display could also be used as a caller identifier that flashes the name and phone number of the caller.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF DIGITAL JEWELRY:
Digital jewelry devices consist of a screen or display for information, most likely consisting of 7-16-segment, or dot matrix LEDs, LCDs, or other technologies such as electroluminescent material (EL), speaker, a single flashing light
A micro controller that is a surface mounted device (SMD) on a printed circuit board (PCB) with resistors ® and capacitors © are the internal 'guts' of the jewelry.
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES:
The digital jewelry display, for instance, every alphabet and number system has found representation within the electronics realm and 'dot-matrix' is used to display Chinese and Japanese and other character sets, as can the alternative display for LCDs also be used, as often found in watches.
ELECTROMAGNETIC BEADS:
PROTOTYPES OF DIGITAL JEWELRY:
THE JAVA RING:
Dallas Semiconductor is developing a new Java-based, computerized ring that will automatically unlock doors and log on to computers.
Highlights of Java Ring
Runs Java better (plus portions enhance Java Card 2.0)
Careful attention to physical security
Durability to stand up to everyday use
High memory capacity (up to 134K bytes NV SRAM)
Retail connectivity to 250 million existing computers
CONCLUSION:
The basic idea behind the digital jewelry concept is to have the convenience of wireless, wearable computers while remaining fashionably sound.
It is hoped to be marketable soon, however, several bugs remain. Charging capabilities and cost are just a sample of the problems that lurk
