General description
A1ll (Everest) isan activity bracelet that combines 24/7 activity
tracking with theconnectiontoXperia’s entertainment and
communicationfeatures. A1ll is defined as one of the smart
wearables that together with the data that the phone logs can
provide information about how the user lives her life. The phone app
Lifelog is used as the main interface for reading out life tracking data.
There are LEDs and vibrations on the bracelet that mainly serve as
indicators of phone activities (incoming call, notifications) and alarms.
The main feature for A1ll is the heart rate/pulse measurement and
stress indication through heart rate variability that the HR sensor
provide. The measurements are done continuously without the user
having to do anything.
Everyday functionality
• Remote mode functionality - for a customized experience (e.g. media
control can be selected)
• Use SmartBand together with external applications
• Next generation proximity unlock
Capacitive sensor
descoped
• Smart wake up
Scope
This document specifies the A1ll UI at functional level, so no technical
details. Although, if technical limitations influence the usability and/or
functional behaviour, they shall be defined.
The UI of the Lifelog app and Host app are defined in separate
blueprints.
Designed for life
• As A1ll is designed to be worn all the time it has to be unintrusive,
comfortable and durable
Know the best of you
• 24/7 activity tracking
• Find patterns
• Set goals in Lifelog and follow up
• Heart Rate Variations and pulse logging (continuously)

ASW201 ASW200 ASW124
A1ll isan activity bracelet that is meant to be worn all the time. As a whole the
purpose of the product and Lifelog app is to support users in becoming more
aware of their own lifestyles and to be alerted by important phone activities.
5 important usage goals are
1) To log and become aware of stress/intensity levels
Users should be able to create awareness of what makes them stressed/
exalted, relaxed and get motivated to stress less. Heart rate variability
measurements are done continuously and can be viewed in Lifelog app.
2) To log and become aware of how much I move physically
4) To use it together with external apps
Users should be able to control or interact with external apps through e.g.
tapping or gestures. An API makes it possible for external apps to get live
sensor data and communicate through LEDs and vibrations.
5) To use it as a mobile phone extension
Users should be able to use the product as an extension to the mobile phone.
For instance by being alerted of phone activities (notifications, calls, alarms). It
should also be possible to control certain functionality on the phone by tapping
in remote mode, e.g. media control or find phone.
Competitive strengths
Users should be able to log and set goals for physical activities such as steps,
walking, running, swimming. Number of stairs and elevator riding should
also be displayed in Lifelog. Other activities that are measured in Lifelog are
various transports. While training it should be possible to measure pulse.
3) To log and become aware of sleep cycles
Users should be able to enter sleep mode automatically and log how many
hours of sleep they have had, to understand the quality of sleep and look at a
sleep cycle for detailed information.
Users will buy the product to become more aware of how they spend their time
and to live a healthier, less stressful and more active life. The main differentiator
and competitive strength of this product in comparison to similar products is
the stress/exalted indications provided by the HRV sensor.

6.1.3 Identify yourself to others
The “show yourself to others” setting is
turned on in AHA. This will make your contact
information available to others.
When meeting a person you want to share your
contact info with and discover that the other
person also is wearing a bracelet your contact
info can easily be exchanged.
With a handshake the contact info is exchanged.
Note: only mutual infosharing should be possible.
TBD: decide what kind of gesture/s we should
support. Handshake, hi-five?
Another example: users can have it connected to
Facebook. When doing a hi-five both persons are
tagged and this can be posted on the person’s
walls. What is triggered is decided by the various
apps.
