Well-known Japanese company Fujitsu today announced that it had developed FUJITSU IoT Solution UBIQUITOUSWARE, an Internet of Things (IoT) package that can sense the status of people and things and their surrounding environments, and analyse the data to quickly provide valuable, actionable data tailored to a customer’s business.
The package consisted of UBIQUITOUSWARE core modules that, in combination with sensors, microcontrollers and wireless communication function to analyse sensing data. Sensing data was analysed using the Human-Centric Engine, Fujitsu’s proprietary algorithms, which converted data into information that customers can put to use quickly, such as fall-detection or body-posture detection.
The first example of a device embedded with UBIQUITOUSWARE was the UBIQUITOUSWARE Head Mounted Display, announced today. Location badges, vital-sign sensing bands, and other products will be rolled out beginning December 2015, the company said in a written statement.
Prototypes of new devices with embedded UBIQUITOUSWARE will be exhibited at Fujitsu Forum 2015 from May 14 at Tokyo International Forum.
Sample Functions Implemented in UBIQUITOUSWARE:
– Workout intensity measurement: Calculates amount of exercise and calories burned based on body movements.
– Posture detection: Body movements are captured in 3D to track a body’s posture, such as whether it is standing, sitting, or lying down.
– Fall detection: Body movements and barometer readings can be captured to determine whether a person has fallen.
– Location and track: Movement characteristics can be captured to estimate distance and direction travelled, to acquire high-precision location and tracking data.
– Heat-level detection: Determines heat stress on the body based on temperature and humidity, and can trigger alerts in case of emergencies.
– Physical load-level detection: Estimates the physical load on a body based on changes in the wearer’s pulse, and can trigger alerts when the wearer is overloaded.
