Device, method and system for implementing a physical area network for detecting effects of the sun
View Patent ↗Nano-node sunscreen described herein enables significantly improved health monitoring and treatment of sun-related issues by utilizing internal (in-body) mechanisms and information and external mechanisms and information.
1. A method comprising:
applying sunscreen containing nano-nodes on a user;
applying a physical area network on or in the user;
acquiring information using the sunscreen containing the nano-nodes and/or the physical area network;
analyzing the information acquired using the sunscreen containing the nano-nodes and/or the physical area network; and
taking an action based on the information acquired using the sunscreen containing the nano-nodes and/or the physical area network.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein acquiring the information includes detecting: a strength of sunlight, a current altitude, an amount of pollution, or an amount of cloudiness.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the physical area network comprises a nano-micro interface configured to communicate with the nano-nodes.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein acquiring the information includes determining if a number of the nano-nodes above a threshold respond with an acknowledgement.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action includes providing an alert to the user.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one nano-node of the nano-nodes is configured to store additional sunscreen.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein taking the action includes releasing the additional sunscreen, wherein releasing the additional sunscreen is based on receiving a signal from a nano-micro interface.
8. The method of claim 6 wherein releasing the additional sunscreen is based on an elapsed amount of time.
9. The method of claim 6 wherein releasing the additional sunscreen is based on walls of the nano-nodes having a thickness which deteriorates at a specified rate.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action includes sending a signal to eyewear.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action is triggered based on determining a delta of initial nano-nodes functioning compared with a current number of nano-nodes functioning, wherein taking the action is triggered if the delta is above a threshold.
