CLAD: a Sensor Management Device forWearable Computing

Abstract

There has been increasing interest in wearable computing. In wearable computing environments, a wearable computer runs various applications with various sensors (wearable sensors). Since conventional wearable systems do not manage the power supply flexibly, they consume excess power resources for unused sensors. Additionally, sensors frequently become unstable for several reasons such as a breakdown. This instability is hard to detect simply from the sensed data. To solve these problems, we propose a new sensor management device CLAD (cross-linkage for assembled devices) that has various functions for power management and sensed-data management. CLAD improves power saving, data accuracy, and operational reliability.
