Explain, using a demand-supply diagram, the “complementarity between smartwatches and phones”. How are the “attributes and pricing of accessories such as smartwatches a key weapon in the mobile phone competitive battle”? (3 points) Price P1 at Quantity demanded Q1 the demand of Apple phones is at D1. Smart watch as a complement its demand jumps up to D0 showing there’s an upward trend in demand of apple phone. Ps Do D1 P1 Q1 Qo Qd 5 Consider Figure 1 on Page 5 of the case study which shows the Apple Watch pricing strategy and answer the following questions. (7 points) a) What is/are the dependent variable/s in the model? Dependent variable includes Advertising budget, Pricing of apple watch, pricing of Samsung Gear S, and pricing of pebble watch. b) What is/are the independent variable/s in the model? Quantity demand of Apple watch is known as the independent variable. Explain the “sign” of the coefficients of the following variables i.e. explain why the coefficient of the variable is negative or why it is positive? Use the right terminologies. i) PAW = Paw in Negative due to competitive advantage ii) PGearS= Positive Gears are substitutes of apple smart watch, PGreas Increases. Paw decreases. iii) PPebble= Positive for the same reason above in number 2 as pebble is a substitutes product of apple watch, So when the Paw Decreases Ppeble decreases iv) PiPhone6= Negative because it I complementary good for apple watch, When the substitute product (Pgears and Ppebble) Price increases, Piphone6 and Paw will also decease. v) A is a positive. 5. USE MICROSOFT EXCEL FOR THIS QUESTION Consider the scenario that the Apple team had contemplated with the following variable values, prior to the launch. PAW = 349, PGearS = $380, PPebble = $220, PiPhone6 = $299, A=$15,500 a) Calculate the QAW, using the above values and the demand function in Figure 1. (1 point) QAW = -150000 – 2400*349 + 1520*380 +1200*220 – 1200*299 + 44*15500 QAW = 177200. B) Calculate QAW only changing PAW to values given in the table. This means keep PGearS , PPebble , PiPhone6 and A fixed. (2 points) PAW 300 310 320 349 350 360 380 390 400 QAW 294800 270800 246800 177200 174800 150800 102800 78800 54800 c) Using the table above draw a demand curve (use MS Excel line chart option). Take QAW on Y-axis and PAW on X-Axis. Like a typical demand curve, your curve should be downward sloping. (3 points) Price QAW 300 294800 310 270800 320 246800 349 177200 350 174800 360 150800 380 102800 390 78800 400 54800 Qaw 400000 300000 200000 100000 0 300 320 340 360 380 400 Qaw D) For each of the situations below, explain the effect on the demand curve i.e. is it a movement along the curve, a rightward shift, or a leftward shift? Calculate the change in QAW and label the variable as New_QAW. Use the same range for PAW i.e $300- $400 to draw an updated demand schedule. Graph a new demand curve (if there is a shift). Keep all other variables, except the one mentioned, as fixed. For example, in (b) only PGearS changes to $400, rest of the values remain as given above i.e. PAW = 349, PPebble = $220, PiPhone6 = $299, A=$15,500 1) Increase in price of AW from $349 to $400 If prices of the apple watch, increases then demand of the apple watch decrease. P 400 349 Q 2) Increase in price of Gear S from $380 to $400 If Pgears prices increase, then demand of the apple watch shift upward because Pgears and apple watch has both are substitutes. P Q 3) Decrease in price of Pebble from $220 to $150 If the prices of the Pebble decrease the demand of the apple watch decreases. P Q 4) Decrease in price of iPhone6 from $299 to $250. If the price of the apple iphone6 decreases, then demand of the apple watches increase because it is complementary goods. P Q 5) Increase in Advertising budget from $15,500 to $ 17,000. If an increase in the budget of advertising, then demand of the apple watch increase. P Q 6) What is the marginal cost of producing one more Apple Watch? In other words, what is the Opportunity Cost to the company of producing one more Apple Watch? Formula of Marginal cost=change in price/change in quantity So the marginal cost of the apple watch is 0.00204. 7 How will Apple’s entry in the smartwatch industry impact the following? (3 points) a) The other suppliers. Sketch a diagram to show the affect. When apple will enter into the market then the competition will be increasing, and it will effect on the demand of other Supplier.

  • Using Pebble
    Using Pebble Pebble has four buttons. The left button is called the 'back' button, which is used for returning to the previous screen or entering your watchface app from the main menu. On the right side, the top and bottom ('up' and 'down') buttons generally are used for scrolling through lists. The center button is used to 'select' an item in a list or start an app on Pebble. It can also be used to get to the main menu from a watchface. Though most navigation is done with a quick press of a button, some apps incorporate longer presses to expose more options, as seen with he music volume control below. Music Select the Music controller from main menu to control music playing on your smartphone. Currently, Pebble can control the default music app and Google music on Android, and Pandora, Spotify and any other music app that implements default music controls on iOS. Once inside the app, the select button will play or pause your music. And if you press and hold the select button for 1­2 seconds, the ability to skip tracks using the up and down buttons will change to volume control. Notifications The Notifications option from the main menu is a quick way to review your notification history. You will be able to scroll through and pull up any recent notices that you want to see again, or perhaps missed the first time around. There are two ways to clear your notification history, if you need to. First, the archive of messages is automatically reset whenever Pebble is; i.e.

X, NO. X, MONTH YEAR 1 Identification of Wearable Devices with Bluetooth Hidayet Aksu, A. Selcuk Uluagac, Senior Member, IEEE, and Elizabeth S. Bentley Abstract With wearable devices such as smartwatches on the rise in the consumer electronics market, securing these wearables is vital. However, the current security mechanisms only focus on validating the user not the device itself. Indeed, wearables can be (1) unauthorized wearable devices with correct credentials accessing valuable systems and networks, (2) passive insiders or outsider wearable devices, or (3) information-leaking wearables devices. Fingerprinting via machine learning can provide necessary cyber threat intelligence to address all these cyber attacks. In this work, we introduce a wearable fingerprinting technique focusing on Bluetooth classic protocol, which is a common protocol used by the wearables and other IoT devices. Specifically, we propose a non-intrusive wearable device identification framework which utilizes 20 different Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in the training phase of the classification process and selects the best performing algorithm for the testing phase.

  • Smartwatch Security Research TREND MICRO | 2015 Smartwatch Security Research
    Smartwatch Security Research TREND MICRO | 2015 Smartwatch Security Research Overview This report commissioned by Trend Micro in partnership with First Base Technologies reveals the security flaws of six popular smartwatches. The research involved stress testing these devices for physical protection, data connections and information stored to provide definitive results on which ones pose the biggest risk with regards to data loss and data theft. Summary of Findings • Physical device protection is poor, with only the Apple Watch having a lockout facility based on a timeout. The Apple Watch is also the only device which allowed a wipe of the device after a set number of failed login attempts. • All the smartwatches had local copies of data which could be accessed through the watch interface when taken out of range of the paired smartphone. If a watch were stolen, any data already synced to the watch would be accessible. The Apple Watch allowed access to more personal data than the Android or Pebble devices. • All of the smartwatches we tested were using Bluetooth encryption and TLS over WiFi (for WiFi enabled devices), so consideration has obviously been given to the security of data in transit. • Android phones can use ‘trusted’ Bluetooth devices (such as smartwatches) for authentication. This means that the smartphone will not lock if it is connected to a trusted smartwatch. Were the phone and watch stolen together, the thief would have full access to both devices. • Currently smartwatches do not allow the same level of interaction as a smartphone; however it is only a matter of time before they do.

  • Wearable Haptic Systems for the Fingertip and the Hand: Taxonomy, Review, and Perspectives
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON HAPTICS, VOL. XX, NO. X, XX 20XX 1 Wearable Haptic Systems for the Fingertip and the Hand: Taxonomy, Review, and Perspectives Claudio Pacchierotti, Member, IEEE, Stephen Sinclair, Member, IEEE, Massimiliano Solazzi, Member, IEEE, Antonio Frisoli, Member, IEEE, Vincent Hayward, Fellow, IEEE, Domenico Prattichizzo, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—In the last decade, we have witnessed a drastic change in the form factor of audio and vision technologies, from heavy and grounded machines to lightweight devices that naturally fit our bodies. However, only recently, haptic systems have started to be designed with wearability in mind. The wearability of haptic systems enables novel forms of communication, cooperation, and integration between humans and machines. Wearable haptic interfaces are capable of communicating with the human wearers during their interaction with the environment they share, in a natural and yet private way. This paper presents a taxonomy and review of wearable haptic systems for the fingertip and the hand, focusing on those systems directly addressing wearability challenges. The paper also discusses the main technological and design challenges for the development of wearable haptic interfaces, and it reports on the future perspectives of the field. Finally, the paper includes two tables summarizing the characteristics and features of the most representative wearable haptic systems for the fingertip and the hand. Index Terms—wearable haptics, fingertip haptics, hand exoskeletons, wearable devices, wearable interfaces, cutaneous force feedback, tactile force feedback, taxonomy, review F 1 INTRODUCTION Technology for touching remote objects has typically been the Apple Watch. They are easy and comfortable to wear, used in teleoperation.
