Understanding Digital Jewelry

Digital jewelry refers to fashion jewelry that contains embedded technology allowing it to function like a mobile phone or provide access to personal information. The document discusses how cell phones may be broken into components incorporated into various jewelry pieces, such as a microphone in earrings, a display in a bracelet, and LEDs in a ring to indicate incoming calls. It outlines prototypes created including a necklace displaying letters and a programmable ring. The technology features small circuit boards, displays, and batteries. While providing convenience, digital jewelry remains in early development with challenges to overcome regarding usability and cost.

INTRODUCTION
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. The other key factor of this concept market is to stay fashionable at the same time.

WHAT IS DIGITAL JEWELLERY?


Digital jewelry is the fashion jewelry with embedded

intelligence. Digital jewelry can help you solve problems like forgotten passwords and security badges
Digital jewelry is a nascent catchphrase for wearable

ID devices that contain personal information like passwords, identification, and account information.

DIGITAL JEWELLERY AND ITS COMPONENTS


Instead of one single device, cell phones will be broken

up into their basic components and packaged as various pieces of digital jewelry.
Each piece of jewelry will contain a fraction of the

components found in a conventional mobile phone. Together, the digital-jewelry cell phone should work just like a conventional cell phone

The various components that are inside a cell phone


Microphone
Receiver Touch pad Display Circuit board Antenna and Battery

Cell phones may one day be comprised of digital accessories that Work together through wireless connections

Here are the pieces of computerized-jewelry phone and their functions


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.

IBM's magic decoder rings will flash when you get a call.

The eyepiece above displays images and data received wirelessly from the Communicator's belt module.

Technical Specification of Digital Jewellery


Screen or display 7-16-segment, or dot matrix LEDs electroluminescent

material (EL) An audiovisual or other 'display' could consist of a speaker, a single flashing light, a sensor of some kind (such as a temperature driven EL display), or other informational aesthetic. A micro controller that is a surface mounted device (SMD) on a printed circuit board (PCB) with resistors (R) and capacitors (C) are the internal 'guts' of the jewelry.

ELECTROMAGNETIC BEADS
The key to the device's

ability to work effectively is a balancing of electronic components within the circuit with a light-duty processing and limited power consumption required for the display (d) layer

PROTOTYPES OF DIGITAL JEWELLERY

Complete HIOX necklace showing all 26 letters of the Roman alphabet extended in 4-dimensional space-time. Metal with leather cord.

Programmable HIOX ring with 16segment LED display

The JAVA Ring

The Java Ring can be programmed to give you access to every door and device.

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
