8 Human Centric
Technology for Wellness
in Mobile Phones
Mobile phones equipped with multiple sensors (e.g. - accelerometers,
gyroscopes, digital compasses, cameras, etc.) are very ubiquitous nowadays.
Fujitsu's Human Centric Technology collects data from such standard built-in
sensors and detects the body movements of users by analyzing those data
using our state-of-the-art algorithms. Our wellness applications contribute to
quality of life improvement and assist with activities of daily living, by utilizing
Human Centric Technology built into our latest mobile phones.

Dynamic Optical
Network Design and
Visualization for Data
Traffic Explosion
Traffic is drastically growing due to mobile terminal evolution and cloud
services. It requires higher capacity in core networks including photonic
networks. At the same time, the optical networks have the capability to change
optical paths dynamically supported by evolution of optical devices.
We are studying how to design and manage dynamic optical networks
efficiently:
-Study control algorithms to realize dynamic photonic networks
- Study design algorithms to allocate demands to optical paths and logical
paths
- Visualize such dynamic photonic networks

15 Twitter as Alternative to
Real World Sensors
Twitter can be regarded as a sensor of Real-World phenomena by "sensing"
what people are doing and experiencing, including natural phenomena such as
"hay fever". We developed a system which collects tweets about "hay fever"
and generates a hay fever map similar to a weather report map. Using the
output of the system, we analyzed the comparison with actual pollen data
gathered by real sensors. The result shows that Twitter can reflect natural
phenomena in some particular areas.
