DIGITAL JEWELLERY
INTRODUCTION
"Digital Jewellery" looks to be the next sizzling fashion trend
combination of shrinking computer devices and increasing computer
power
concept is to communicate to others by means of wireless appliances
WHAT IS DIGITAL JEWELERY?
fashion jewelry with embedded intelligence
contain personal information like passwords, identification, and
account information
potential to be all-in-one replacements for your driver’s license,
key chain, business cards etc
DIGITAL JEWELLERY AND ITS COMPONENTS
For a digital jewellery cell phone,each piece of jewellery will
contain a fraction of the components found in a conventional
mobile phone
Microphone receiver,touchpad,display,circuit board,antenna and
battery
IBM develops prototypes and cellphone
Cell phones may one day be comprised of digital accessories
that Work together through wireless connections
pieces of computerized-jewelry phone and their functions
Earrings - Speakers embedded
Necklace - embedded microphone.
Ring - light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
Bracelet - Equipped with a video graphics array (VGA) display
Track Point TECHNOLOGY
IBM developed this technology
wirelessly move the cursor on a computer-monitor display
IBM Researchers have transferred TrackPoint technology to a
ring
This Track Point ring shrink to the size of watch face
Charmed Technology

IBM developed this technology

a futuristic-looking eyepiece display

can be used as an MP3 player, video player and cell phone

runs on the company's Linux-based Nanix operating system

consist of a screen or display for information
display layer enclosed in some material such as plastic, metal, crystal, or
other material
has external switches and a micro controller
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES
every alphabet and number system has found representation within the
electronics realm and 'dot-matrix' of single LEDs
different sizes and shapes with a variety of materials
display information through a screen or display -LEDs devices to LCDs,
OLEDs
ELECTROMAGNETIC BEADS
similar to beads
 One bead may be a capacitor on the inside, and a solar panel
on the outside
Another bead may have an internal resistor
PROTOTYPES OF DIGITAL JEWELLERY
HIOX necklace showing all 26 letters of the Roman alphabet
programmable HIOX ring with 16-segment LED display
THE JAVA RING
lock and key
stainless steel ring
Java Ring is snapped into a reader, called a Blue Dot receptor
Stainless steel ring-16mmdiameterhousing 1 million
Transmitter-iBUTTON
134 KB RAM, 32 KB ROM
Blue Dot receptor
Highlights of Java Ring
Highlights of Java RIng
Runs Java better (plus portions enhance Java Card 2.0)
Careful attention to physical security (rapid zeroization)
Durability to stand up to everyday use
High memory capacity (up to 134K bytes NV SRAM)
Retail connectivity to 250 million existing computers (less if
designed-in before manufacturing)
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.
