WEARABLE DATA DEVICE FOR USE IN A WEARABLE DATA NETWORK

摘要

A wearable data network is disclosed. The wearable data network includes a universal data warehouse (UDW) (105) and at least one purpose optimized device (POD) (110). The UDW (105) is carried out by the user and is, essentially, a personal data warehouse to store data having a variety of different types and uses (e.g., personal financial data, audio and video files, and presentation files). The UDW (105), however, is incapable of processing the user's data. Instead, one POD (110) is used in conjunction with one or more UDWs (105) to process the user's data. As is suggested by its name, a POD (110) is a device that has been optimized to carry out a specific purpose. One example, is a POD (110) that is designed to play the user's audio files, another example is a POD (110) that is designed to render the user's video files, and yet another example is a POD (115) that is designed to render the user's presentation files.
