Abstract
An intra-body area network (IBAN) is described. An IBAN comprises a plurality of electronic sensing devices. Each from the plurality of electronic sensing devices is embedded in an item that is wearable by the user. The plurality of sensing devices collect respective different types of information and may communicate with each other, as well as with a smart phone of the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, using at least one processor, a plurality of electronic sensing devices, each from the plurality of electronic sensing devices being embedded in an item wearable by the user, the plurality of sensing devices collecting respective different types of information;
- detecting, using at least one processor, communication between devices from the plurality of electronic sensing devices and a smart phone of the user;
- collecting, using at least one processor, data from the plurality of electronic sensing devices;
- aggregating, using at least one processor, data from the plurality of electronic sensing devices;
- and
- utilizing, using at least one processor, the collected and aggregated data to generate a communication for the user.
