2. Applications of ULP July 18, 2012 Hiroshi Harada, NICT Hiroshi Harada (NICT)

3. Abstract • This presentation summarizes fundamental application of ULP Hiroshi Harada (NICT)

4. Applications • Utility grid network • (in house) Monitoring power consumption • (out door) Pollution/noise monitoring • Digital signage • Advertisement • Home Network • Control white goods （refrigerators, washing machines, etc.） Hiroshi Harada (NICT)

5. Utility Grid Network • Outdoor • Sensors and ULP device are unified • ULP device set on the utility pole with solar battery (no electricity supply) • Multihop communication is available between ULP devices • Data will be collected via multihop communication to the server • Indoor • Energy consumption of white goods （refrigerators, washing machines, etc.） will be collected • White goods equip ULP device • Each ULP device will be connected with data collector Hiroshi Harada (NICT)

7. Monitoring for Agriculture • Outdoor • Sensors and ULP device are unified • ULP device set on the utility pole with solar battery (no electricity supply) • Multihop communication is available between ULP devices • Data will be collected via multihop communication to the server Hiroshi Harada (NICT)

9. Digital signage Shinagawa station http://ameblo.jp/abe-y/entry-10517484303.html Hiroshi Harada (NICT)

10. Digital signage • Indoor/Outdoor • Send advertisement data to the signage system • Each signage system stands its own feet with battery (solar) • Text base or simple image base (not video) advertisement • Data will be sent via multihop/direct communication from the server Hiroshi Harada (NICT)

11. Digital signage Hiroshi Harada (NICT)

12. Home network • Indoor • ULP device is equipped in the white goods or audio and visual sets and its controller • The controller(s) controls the goods and sets • Direct commutation base Hiroshi Harada (NICT)
