Introduction
 In Computer Fashion Wave, "Digital Jewellery" looks to be the
next sizzling fashion trend of the technological wave.

 The combination of shrinking computer devices and increasing
computer power has allowed several companies to begin
producing fashion jewellery with embedded intelligence.

 By the end of the decade, we could be wearing our computers
instead of sitting in front of them.

What is DIGITAL JEWELLERY ?
 Digital jewellery is the fashion jewelry with embedded intelligence.

 “Digital jewellery” can help you solve problems like forgotten
passwords and security badges.

 Digital jewellery, will be the evolution in digital technology that
makes computer elements entirely compatible with the human form.

 They have the potential to be all-in-one replacements for your
driver’s license, key chain, business cards, credit cards, health
insurance card, corporate security badge, and loose cash.

DIGITAL JEWELLERY and its components

 Soon, “cell phones” will take a totally new form, appearing to have no
form at all.

 The various components that are inside a cell phone:
Microphone, Receiver, Touch pad, Display, Circuit
board, Antenna, and Battery.

 IBM has developed a prototype of a cell phone that consists of
several pieces of digital jewellery that will work together
wirelessly, possibly with Bluetooth wireless technology………….

EAR RINGS
 Speakers : embedded into these
earrings will be the phone's
receiver.
 These days many manufacturers
are developing things like
Bluetooth devices in the form of
pendants or earrings that people
can wear that help enhance heir
mobile phones, computers
PDAs, basically anything that uses
similar Technology

Necklace
 Users will talk into the
necklace's embedded
microphone
 They transfer the information
in the forms of signals
 It consist of sensors by these it
will work
 It is mainly by blue tooth
technology

Ring
 Perhaps the most interesting
piece of the phone, this
"magic decoder ring” is
equipped with 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

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

IBM’S MAGIC DECODER RING

The same ring that flashes for phone calls could also inform you that
e-mail is piling up in your inbox.
This flashing alert could also indicate the urgency of the e-mail
The mouse-ring that IBM is developing will use the company's
Track Point technology to wirelessly move the cursor on a computer-
monitor display.
Track Point is the little button embedded in the keyboard of some
laptops
 IBM Researchers have transferred Track Point technology to a ring,
which looks something like a black-pearl

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

Bluetooth Bracelet built in rechargeable battery, when a call is
coming the bracelet will vibrate and lamp flash.

Technical specifications
 Digital jewellery devices
consist of a screen or
display for
information, most likely
consisting of 7-16-
segment, or dot matrix
LEDs, LCDs.
 An audio visual or other
'display' could consist of a
speaker, a single flashing
light, a sensor of some
kind

Display Technologies.
 The digital jewelry
display, for instance, every
alphabet and number
system has found
representation within the
electronics realm and 'dot-
matrix'
 It is used to display Chinese
and Japanese and other
character sets, as can the
alternative display for LCDs
(liquid-crystal-displays)
also be used, as often found
in watches.

 Digital Jewellery can be made in many different sizes and
shapes with a variety of materials ranging from plastic and
metal to rubber and glass.

 This could range from LED 7-segment, 16-segment, dot
matrix, and other programmable LEDs devices to
LCDs, OLEDs, and other displays,

The Java Ring
 It seems that everything we access
today is under lock and key. Even the
devices we use are protected by
passwords. It can be frustrating trying
to keep with all of the passwords and
keys needed to access any door or
computer program.
 Dallas semiconductor is developing a
new Java-based, computerized ring
that will automatically unlock doors
and log on to computers

 The ring has
134 KB of RAM,
32 KB of ROM,
a real-time clock &
a Java virtual machine, which is a piece of software that recognizes
the Java language and translates it for the user's computer system.

 Digital jewelry, (designed to supplement the personal computer,) will be
the evolution in digital technology that makes computer elements
entirely compatible with the human form.

BLUE DOT RECEPTOR:
The Java Ring is snapped
into a reader, called a Blue
Dot receptor, to allow
communication between a
host system and the Java
Ring. The Java Ring is a
stainless-steel ring, 16-
millimeters (0.6 inches) in
diameter, which houses a 1-
million-transistor processor,
called an iButton.

Highlights of Java Ring :

 Runs Java better (plus portions enhance Java Card 2.0)
 Careful attention to physical security
 Durability to stand up to everyday use
 High memory capacity (up to 134K bytes NV SRAM)
 Retail connectivity to 250 million existing computers

ADVANTAGES
THE ADVANTAGES ARE

1 It provides SECURITY.
For example.,
JAVA RING is used to lock or unlock doors or computers...as we
use passwords and keys to lock our doors and computers. we dont
need to remember all those passwords and carry all those keys. So
java ring is designed to provide security

2. As COMPUTING DEVICES are embedded it is not necessary to
carry CELLS r COMPUTERS...hence it is easy to carry
everywhere

DISADVANTAGES:

Charging capabilities &
Cost
are just a sample of problems

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
