Make the Product more User- Conscious

• User Conscious product are able to get insight in the head of the user. They understand what drives the user and what the intentions of the user are.

• Smartness is in the ability to react to specific intentions of the user.

Amazon meer uitleggen The seat is equipped with a pair of pulse-monitoring pressure sensors in the seat-back and a set of respiration-monitoring sensors underneath. The researchers successfully tested the system in a variety of simulated and actual driving conditions, and they claim it works effectively even when the driver is bundled in layers of clothing. Previous drowsiness prediction systems that rely on physiological data require the subject to attach electrodes or other hardware to his or her body. And since these systems tend to be bulky, they have not seen widespread use in automobiles. However, unlike previous systems, this newly developed smart car seat does not require the driver to wear any special hardware — it can detect drowsiness as long as the driver remains in the seat.

Make the Product more Ambient-Conscious

• The product is aware of its environment and the changes in environmental parameters.

• The product can have an impact on the environment.• Smartness is in the ability to react to specific environmental

conditions.

Make the Product more Eco- System Conscious

• The product is aware of the other products that are part of the eco-system

• Smartness is in the fact that a group of products is combined in an intelligent way

• => eco-system infrastructure
