Abstract

Wearable computer offers job-critical information to people whose hands must be free for other works. By adopting the flexible electronic technology, designs of such apparatus provide the features of highly mobility and durability. This paper takes the duties of the police as a case study. By analyzing the activities of the police and the problems of currently used apparatus, thirty-three problems were elicited. A Quantification Method Type IV and a cluster analysis were employed to analyze the problem's structure and six groups of problems were highlighted. The design specifications were derived from the previous studies. Four conceptual designs of wearable computers were proposed by transferring the soft and wearable images in the design processes. Developing and evaluating the experimental prototypes will be undertaken for further analysis.
