Abstract :
Information and communication services have been developed from the first generation of fixed phone era to the second generation of cellular phone era, and eventually the third generation will be developed as the era of keyboard-less and wireless sensor terminals. Recently, with the technology weaving of microsensors, wearable computers and wireless systems, various micro sensing systems have been developed. In the near future, with more progress in nanotechnologies, flexible sensors, flexible power supplies, flexible computers and flexible displays will be developed, and every terminal will become wearable. From this viewpoint, we would like to explain the novel technologies and services in the third generation network. In details, we introduce Human Recorder System development in our NPO-WIN (Wearable Information Network http://www.npowin.org/j/).
