INTRODUCTION
 In Computer Fashion Wave ,”Digital Jewellery” looks
to be the next sizzling fashion trend of technological
wave.
 By the end of the decade , we could be wearing
our computers instead of sitting in front of them.

WHAT IS DIGITAL JEWELLERY ????
Digital Jewelry is the fashion jewelry with embedded
intelligence.
 Digital Jewelry can help you solve problems like forgotten
passwords and security badges.
 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.
Instead of one single device, cell phones will be broken up
into their basic components and packed as various pieces of
digital jewelry.
 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 jewelry that will work
together wirelessly, possibly with Bluetooth wireless.

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

Here are the pieces of
computerized-jewelry phone
and their functions:
EAR RINGS:
Speakers embedded into these
earrings will be the phone's receiver.

NECKLACE:
 Users will talk into the
necklace's embedded microphone.
 They transfer the information
in the forms of signals.
 communication is mainly by
blue tooth technology.

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.

• 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.

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.
BRACELET:

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

While IBM is in the development stage, Charmed
Technology is already marketing its digital jewelry,
including a futuristic-looking eyepiece display.
The eyepiece is the display component of the
company's Charmed Communicator, a wearable,
wireless, broadband-Internet device that can be
controlled by voice, pen or handheld keypad.
The Communicator can be used as an MP3 player,
video player and cell phone. The Communicator runs on
the company's Linux-based Nanix operating system.

CHARMED COMMUNICATOR EYEPIECE
The eye piece above displays images and data
received wirelessly.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Digital jewelry 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(temperature driven EL
display).

Display Technologies
The digital jewelry
display, for instance, every
alphabet and number system
has found representation
within the electronics realm.
‘Dot-matrix’ 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 Jewelry can be made in many different sizes and
shapes with a variety of materials ranging from plastic and
metal to rubber and glass.

Prototypes of Digital Jewelry
Complete HIOX necklace showing all 26 letters
of the Roman alphabet extended in 4-dimensional
space-time.
Hiox Ring with 16-Segment
LED display

THE JAVA RING
The Java Ring is a stainless-
steel ring, 16-millimeters (0.6
inches) in diameter that
houses a 1-million-transistor
processor, called an iButton.

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
1. 134 KB of RAM,
2. 32 KB of ROM,
3. A real-time clock
4. A Java virtual machine, which is a piece of software that
recognizes the Java language and translates it for the
user's computer system.
5. iButton-The jewel of the java ring is the java iButton .It
contains one-million transistor processor.

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).
Durability to stand up to everyday use.
High memory capacity (up to 134K bytes NV
SRAM).
Retail connectivity to 250 million existing
computers.

ONGOING ACHIEVEMENTS
Charmbadge-The Charmbadge is as an electronic
conference badge that uses infrared (line-of-sight)
technology to communicate with other Charmbadges
in its viewing area.
 Intelligent Spectacles- the Intelligent Glasses translate
Japanese, Korean, Chinese and English in real
time. Intelligent Glasses can also manipulate virtual images
in the wearer's field of vision on a blank, flat surface.
 Smart Wrist Watch-Many smart watches run mobile apps,
while a smaller number of models run a mobile
operating system and function as portable media players,
offering playback of FM radio, audio, and video
files to the user via a Bluetooth headset. Some smart phone
models, (also called watch phones) feature full mobile
phone capability, and can make or answer phone calls.

Magic Decoder ring
 Charmed Communicator Eyepiece
 Mouse Ring

ADVANTAGES
1)It provides SECURITY.
2) It is easy to carry everywhere.

LIMITATIONS
Charging capabilities & Cost are just a sample
of problems.
Display is very small
 Rays may be harmful

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.
