Figure I.4 – Scenario for SPSN use for wearable smart devices

In Figure I.4, the user has several wearable smart devices, such as a hairpin, a bracelet, a watch, a
pair of glasses and a pair of shoes. These wearable smart devices connect to the user's SPSN through
personal communication technologies.

Users can use their SPSNs to detect and connect to their wearable smart devices, through relevant
IoT applications installed on the SPSN.

The SPSN collects and synchronizes information (including device capabilities) of the connected
wearable smart devices with local stores or network repositories (such as cloud stores). The data
collection can be real-time or non-real-time, depending the communication technology used and the
device's capabilities.

Furthermore, the SPSN can process the devices' information locally with local relevant IoT
applications.

At any time, the owner can use the SPSN to configure any of the wearable smart devices connected
to it.
