3. "Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget" created in 2003 by
Japanese technology company NCE.
Its designer is Tour Ichihash.
P-ISM was first featured at the 2003 ITUTelecom world held in
Geneva, Switzerland.

4. P-ISM (“Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package”).
P-ISMs are computers in the shape of Pens.
P-ISMSs are connected with a wireless technology.
Whole set is connected with cellular phone function.

7. The functionality of the CPU is done
by one of the pen. It is also known as
computing engine.
Dual Core processor is used.
Works with windows operating
system.

8. P-ISM’s are connected with one
another through short-range wireless
technology. The whole set is also
connected to the Internet through the
cellular phone function.
Bluetooth mechanism is used for
exchanging signal status information
between two devices.
They can implement information
exchange capabilities within the
designs of the Blue tooth.

9. Virtual Keyboard is a new gadget.
It emits laser on desk which gives an alternative input
mechanism
As we type on the laser projection, it analyses what we are
typing according to the co-ordinates of the location.
It also act as a Virtual Mouse
It is based on Electronic Perception Technology

10. Electronic Perception Technology (EPT) is a low-cost, single-
chip imagining technology that enables electronic components
to form a 3-D map of their surroundings and see what their
users are doing.
One of the first applications of EPT is a "virtual keyboard“.

A system that projects a laser keyboard onto a level surface and
detects which keys the user is pressing by watching their hands and
sensing which spots on the table their fingers are touching
Keystrokes are recognized and then relayed via an invisible infrared
layer combined with an optical sensor.
The recognition process works as follows: When the user presses
a key on the projected keyboard, the infrared layer is interrupted. This
produces UV reflections that are recognized by the sensor in three
dimensions, allowing the system to assign a coordinate (keyboard
character).
13. The role of monitor is taken
by LED Projector which
projects on the screen.
It has the approximate
resolution capacity of 1024
X 768.

14. We had digital camera in the
shape of pen .
It is useful in video recording,
video conferencing, simply it
is called as web cam.

15. Pens are kept in a dock
CPU pen is placed in the dock, when it is in use.
Functions of dock
1.mass storage
2.battery
3.speaker

16. It is the most important part in
portable type of computers.
Usually batteries are small in size
and work for a long time.
It comes with a battery life of 6+
(i.e. 6days).
For normal use it can be used for 2
weeks.

18. Many researches has been made but there is no clear result so
far.
Only One that uses it is E-fingerprinting the gadget will be more
secure, which allows only owner to activate the Pc. So even if
we loose it, no one else cal access the gadget.

19. The communication devices are becoming smaller and
compact. This is only an example for the start of this new
technology. We can expect more such developments in the
future..
