Bring Your Own Device is a disruptive phenomenon that is a significant IT trendMartin Perry
BYOD is the concept that employees (or students) will bring and use their own mobile devices (such as laptops, tablets, and smart phones) to their workplace (or college). These devices are used to access privileged company information and applications on the company's (or academic institute's) IT infrastructure; there is a challenge to balance the demand to be connected to everything with proper accountability or oversight to protect the company's (academic institute's) IT assets.
This webinar will analyse the demand for BYOD, driven by factors such as:
• Pervasive connectivity
• Globalisation
• Workforce Age profile and expectations
• Employee work life integration
• The growth in personal devices connected to web [consumerisation of IT]
• Change in our relationships with the outside world
• Impact on the porosity of the border between private life and work.
And how the balance can be struck between this demand for BYOD, and the need to protect IT assets.
This webinar was first hosted with the Warwick Technology Professional Network of the Warwick Business School wbs.ac.uk
Part of the University of Warwick, we have an international reputation for top quality education and research in management and business.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for a Nest Lab’s Smart Thermostat. This thermostat learns user behavior, uses motion sensors to detect human presence, and programs itself. We recommend that Nest sell directly to end users and work with HVAC, construction and building automation companies to have their thermostat installed in new buildings. Nest, which was recently acquired by Google, can profit from the sale of these devices and the sale of software apps that can add functionality to the product.

Senior Design Report Sample
Description:
This senior design project is called SafeStride. It is designed and made for people who do not have the ability to walk or need help walking. Many people around the world, and especially in the United States, who do not have the ability to walk without using cranes and crutches. However , there are many who use these tools incorrectly, therefore causing more harm on themselves rather than heeling themselves. So SDSU Electrical Engineering seniors came up with an idea of SafeStride in an effort to improve walking aids. The seniors came up with an idea of a cane that assists better in walking than the crutches and canes we see today. With the development of software technology and programming, students were able to make this cane send and receives data from a program, which then used by therapists and medical professionals to check if the cane is used appropriately by the person or not.
Devices:
There are many devices used in this project. For instance, one device is the Bluetooth RN42 chip. This device is coordinated to send information to a gadget where experts play out their investigation. More so, a lithium-ion battery that has energy which controls the gadgets found in the stick. At the base of the stick, there is a cell that checks the weight applied on the stick by the client. Also, there is a 18560 battery which is utilized to control up the stick's hardware through the charging of the battery. To get this stick working, sensors were used to measure metrics and use signals to send it to microcontrollers, and after they are sent by wireless to the computer.
Cost:
The project costed the students $643.43, $79.94 for the power components, $59.85 for the IMU, $120.54 for the Bluetooth Module, $125.70 for other components, and $151.85 for the materials of the cane.
Purpose of Assignment

2. / The Problem:
/ Monitoring of energy usage is more reactive, not proactive
/ Consumer electronics is proliferating -> exceedingly difficult to keep track
of individual usage
/ No consolidated mechanism to control and monitor all “active” devices
3. / The “Home Brain” (HB) Concept:
/ An energy monitoring system
: Controls & Manages energy consumption across all consumer electronics
: Provides a consolidated dashboard around usage and savings
: Ensures home security
4. / The “Home Brain” (HB) Concept:
/ Receives and allows users to pre-set
settings and alerts remotely
/ Monitor individual appliances usage
/ Receive alerts on exceeding
thresholds – can interface with mobile
5. / The “Home Brain” (HB) Concept:
/ Remote security monitoring
Other Features:
/ Backwards compatible : works with existing appliances
/ “Smarter” with usage : learns patterns and applies
them more efficiently

12. / Consumer Speak (India):
Gurpreet discussed his desire to turn on the air
conditioning remotely to prepare the home for his
arrival.
Ravi’s wife is concerned with water quality,air
quality and health but has no way to gauge real
health threats to her family.
Sudanshu wished he had a way to remotely
control the locks and monitor his home.
THEME: PROVIDE INFORMED CONTROL
Home controls like air conditioning, thermostats, ceiling fans,security systems, appliances and lighting
are decentralized and scattered throughout the home. People expressed a desire to have greater control,
security, convenience and understanding, particularly while away from the home and where it helped
them to save money and live more healthily.
CONSUMER STORIES
13. / Consumer Speak (India):
Gurpreet has a card-based switch mechanism
installed in his house that turns off all lights,
like in hotel rooms.
Ravi switched on and off his laptop and
peripheral devices using a powerstrip.
Rashmi wanted to save money on her
energy bill but had little understanding of
how different usage behaviors contributed
to the cost.
THEME: SMART CONSUMPTION
People view energy is a precious commodity and strive to save energy – and money – whenever
possible. Yet they lack useful information about their home energy use and expressed a desire to be
more informed about how their appliances and devices are contributing to their energy bill - so they
can consume better. Devices are rarely left on when not in use.
CONSUMER STORIES
14. / Summary (India Immersions - ~5 DIs)
• People reacted positively in parts to the concept
• Ability to view energy consumption in a single snapshot was seen to be of most value
• Security features did not seem that attractive (most had watchmen guarding their home complexes)
• Some of the respondents expressed apprehension about how the technology would work with
existing appliances – no one seemed interested to buy additional components
• Couple expressed concerns if the installation procedure would be complicated, as they had newly
done houses
• One of the respondents expressed that there may be a lack of reason to believe that the data being
reported is actually accurate
• Few suggested that the product should also clearly recommend optimum usage, as there is no point
in just stating the problem
15. / Consumer Speak (Philippines):
20 years old. Male student, stays in an on-
campus housing.
- The product is okay. I see the value in being
able to know my consumption. I will buy it.
- Make it more user-friendly. The consulting
part may affect user-friendliness.
- Removing third-party consulting services will
save you money and time. I think you don't
need someone else for support services.
- The security feature is somewhat far from the
other features. It is far from the need that you
want to address which is saving money.
- Security feature can be a selling point.
- Controlling energy consumption is very
complicated. If a sensor will be used to switch
off a device, that sensor is not related to your
product. You can bundle them together but
they are not related.
- You can add or remove features depending
on segment.
20 years old. female. currently undergrad .
She lives here in the city with her parents
- The product will appeal more to businesses
than households. Electric bill might not be a
priority in households.
- Benefits will be more obvious to
businesses than households.
- Make it more passive for the user. Users
might not have the motivation to use the
device on a daily basis. I do not think I am
motivated enough to look and use this
device on a daily basis.
- It might be difficult for a person to adapt to
this device.
- I think gamification can help users gain
more motivation.
- Mobile app updates/alerts is a very helpful
feature. It makes the experience more
passive for the user.
16. / Summary (Philippines Immersions - ~2 DIs)
• Value of being able to know energy consumption data was clear to the interviewees and they want
that feature.
• This feature seems to have the highest impact for both interviewees.
• And based from their comments, there is not much emphasis on other features which are security,
control and management.
• We need to make the device less demanding for a more passive experience for users.
