Tom Coughlin
IEEE CES Distinguished Lecturer Series
Storing Your Life - Consumer Digital Storage -
Personal, Shared, Hierarchical and Virtual.
Abstract: This presentation discusses the
drivers for consumer digital storage, the different mobile
and static usage models for digital storage in consumer
devices and the resulting consumer storage hierarchy.
Important characteristics of consumer storage devices are
shown and guidelines are given for how digital storage
should be designed in consumer devices. Demand for higher
resolution content and for capturing ever greater details of
the life of family members will drive increases in
commercial as well as personal content storage demand.
Sharing of content within a home or over the Internet
creates much greater demand for storage since a shared file
can be multiplied many times through network sharing.
Implementation of a virtualized integrated storage utility
into most homes with appropriate ease of use, suitable for
consumers, will benefit customers by providing greater
access to data as well as enhanced content protection using
local as well as remote storage.

Panasonic
Research
User Centered Innovation for
Tomorrow User Interfaces - In the digital era,
innovative products and services are often characterized by
an increased complexity in technology and functionality.
This increase in complexity has resulted in a shift towards
User Centered Design and research interests. In this talk
we will show through a number of examples how user centered
design can provide deep insights into novel future product
opportunities. We will also highlight a new remote control
recently developed which has the potential to disrupt the
CE industry by providing a solution to the issue of overly
complicated remote controllers with too many buttons.

Marvell - SheevaPlug and Plug
Computing Initiative Masses to Marvell at Tiny
Wall Plug Computer Marvell introduced its SheevaPlug, along
with its Plug Computing initiative. Targeted toward
developers and small businesses, the new plug computer is
small and powerful – it’s the size of a normal plug and even
connects via an electrical wall socket. But the real beauty
of the plug computer is its internal components. The plug
is designed to manage multiple services and software
partners.
