Taipei International Invention and Technology Fair ITRI Exhibits Mobile Smart Technology

(Central News Agency) At the 2014 Taipei International Invention and Technology Trade Exhibition, ITRI exhibited 25 inventions under the theme of "Mobile Smart Life". ITRI said that it can be applied to Internet of Things health management, in-vehicle information communication and solution of mobile phone GPS indoor positioning and other forward-looking technologies.

The Industrial Technology Research Institute said that the "Innovation Vision Hall of the Industrial Technology Research Institute" in the invention exhibition exhibited 25 technical achievements related to wearable, health management, indoor positioning and vehicle information communication, including "wearable micro nanosecond pulse near-field non-contact sensing watch","continuous blood oxygen monitoring watch","health smart chair","indoor positioning system","visible light communication and positioning system" and other technologies.

At the Taipei International Invention and Technology Fair 2014, LED online real-time thermal analyzer, which won this year's Top 100 Technology Awards, and personalized 3D printing scanning, materials, equipment, high-definition computing light field camera modules and other technologies were exhibited to outline the future of mobile smart life.

According to the ITRI IEK survey, ABI Resaerch predicts that mobile care (mHealth) wearable device shipments will reach 160 million units in 2017. The "health wearable physiological detection device" used at home can provide pre-hospital screening and recommended health consultation, which can create new business opportunities. When this potential demand grows greatly, that is, wearable physiological detection devices enter the era of Internet of Things.

In addition, the medical-grade "Continuous Blood Oxygen Monitoring Watch" has the highest accuracy of any published product in the world. ITRI says it calculates blood oxygen concentration optically and provides continuous monitoring of blood oxygen and pulse during daily activities. The accuracy rate of pulse rate per minute (bpm) detection is greater than 95%, and the accuracy rate of oxygen saturation concentration measurement is plus or minus 3% when it is 70% to 100%.

"Health Smart Chair" is aimed at the living habits of elderly people sitting on chairs. It automatically measures weight, heartbeat, blood oxygen, blood pressure trend, calculates BMI value through electromechanical integration, and records the amount of exercise required for a day with pedometer. The data can be displayed on Android phones or tablets, and can be uploaded directly to the cloud for health management.

ITRI's "LED visible light communication technology" is the use of LED light band to transmit data, so that LED not only lighting, but also free of wireless communication electromagnetic wave interference, both energy-saving lighting and intelligent communication features, can be applied to conference rooms, hospitals, airports, underwater communication and other low electromagnetic wave places.

At present, according to different needs, ITRI has developed "LED visible light communication system" that can be directly combined with lighting manufacturers and has indoor positioning function, and "visible light communication platform" that upstream manufacturers pay attention to, bringing innovative feelings to the industry and the public. 20140918
