Use of Body-Area Network (BAN) as a Kinetic User Interface (KUI)

At least two wearable electronic devices, comprising:

• a housing;
• a sensor operatively connected to the housing, wherein the sensor is configured to sense an excitation event and convert the excitation event into a data signal;
• a transceiver operatively connected to the sensor, wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit or receive the data signal;
• and
• a processor disposed operatively coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is programmed to determine whether a kinetic user action occurred based upon the data signals.

A method for creating a body area network, comprising the steps of:

• sensing an excitation event at a sensor operatively connected to a plurality of wearable electronic devices;
• converting the excitation event into a data signal;
• communicating the data signal to a processor disposed within the plurality of wearable electronic devices;
• comparing data encoded in the data signal with user data stored in a memory device operatively connected to the plurality of wearable electronic devices using the processor to determine if the excitation event is associated with a kinetic user action;
• and
• executing a command associated with the kinetic user action if the excitation event is determined by the processor to be the kinetic user action.
