Abstract. In this paper, we conduct research on the developmental trend of modern wearable devices from perspective of the human-computer interaction. Wearable computers have to face the primary products market, the development momentum is very fierce, can be applied to various fields, has a great market potential, as therefore the research of the technology is also more and more. Wearable computer as representative one kind of emerging scientific and technological achievements, to instill the advanced concept of "people-oriented", although is only in the initial stage, convenient but it easy to carry, etc. has been the favor of people, visible in the future after it has potential of technological progress. Our research integrates the human-computer interaction to enhance the traditional wearable devices that will optimize the performance.

“…Piezoelectric materials can be deposited onto textiles to convert energy from the textile deforming but energy levels are low at around 100 µJ per action [22]. For thermoelectric harvesters, the challenge is to maximize the temperature difference across the device, but this is not easily achieved on the human body [23]. Low-temperature flexible thermoelectric materials that could be combined with textiles are being investigated, but these are not yet practical solutions [24].…”

Abstract-The promise of smart cities offers the potential to change the way we live, and refers to the integration of IoT systems for people-centred applications, together with the collection and processing of data, and associated decision making. Central to the realization of this are wearable and autonomous computing systems. There are considerable challenges that exist in this space that require research across different areas of electronics and computer science; it is this multidisciplinary consideration that is novel to this paper. We consider these challenges from different perspectives, involving research in devices, infrastructure and software. Specifically, the challenges considered are related to IoT systems and networking, autonomous computing, wearable sensors and electronics, and the coordination of collectives comprising human and software agents.

“…(6) Finally, the theoretical power obtainable in each frequency band can be calculated using (6), where is the generator mass [kg] and is the total damping ratio. In this paper, the term relative power [W/kg] is used for ease of comparison, and is defined with set to unity (7).…”

“…These energy sources are power constrained, that is they can theoretically provide unlimited energy over an infinite period of time, yet only very limited power can be obtained at any particular time. Such human-powered energy harvesters (referred to as microgenerators) can extract energy from a range of sources [5], including body-heat [6], forces directly applied by the body (for example footfall [7], or joint movements [8] [9]), or the inertia of the human body [10]. It is the latter of these that we focus on in this paper.…”

Modeling the Effect of Orientation on Human-Powered Inertial Energy Harvesters

Abstract-A fundamental challenge in realizing body-worn sensors is in providing an effective and long-lasting power supply. Issues regarding batteries have prompted researchers to investigate powering devices by extracting energy from the inertial movement of the human body. While previous studies have investigated the effect of generator location and wearer activity on harvestable power, they have not considered the orientation of the generator; this is the focus of this paper. Acceleration data collected across a sample population (ten participants) during different activities (walking and running) and generator location (five locations on the body) are presented.These data are processed to analyze the effect of orientation, and we find that it can significantly reduce the harvestable power.Subsequently, we propose and analyze how two degree-offreedom generators can improve tolerance to rotation; results indicate that it can be improved by one order of magnitude.
