3.2 Application sectors
Individual services. These include aspects of mobility and customization. Our activities
have recently been focused on the automobile of the future and technologies related to
environmental intelligence. Based on the convergence of all different types of
communications, Telefónica I+D is now studying the way in which users interact with these
services so that they can be adapted to suit our clients' needs.
Enterprise services: Large companies and SMEs. We have set up several new lines of
activity centred on designing advanced work places and the future intelligent office.
Customization and interaction are the most important innovations.
Home services. Our activity is based on applying new possibilities for entertainment and
comfort offered by communications to the digital home.
E-health services: Our activities focus on designing new services for remote assistance
and rehabilitation, home hospitalization, remote collaboration between medical
professionals and services for the disabled. We make innovative use of IT by offering these
services in a network-centric way after they have been adapted to the different client
groups' needs according to criteria of accessibility and e-inclusion.

e-SENSE

Capturing Ambient Intelligence for Mobile Communications
through Wireless Sensor Networks
The project deals with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), as building block of the
Ambient Intelligence concept and business.
 A WSN is a network of small nodes. Each node captures parameters from the
environment or context, processes them and then forwards them towards a
gateway by means of its radio transceiver
 In a WSN the nodes are small and cheap, self organize and forward the packets
(signals) towards the gateway by hopping them from a node to another
 Data can be used for the provision of novel context-based services

MARTA-connected car
The Project MARTA has as its principle objective to study the scientific bases and
technologies of transportation for the 21st century that will lead to an ITS
(Intelligent Transportation System). The areas of focus for the Project include
safety, efficiency, and sustainability. These issues impact society in general and
are represented by global challenges in term of traffic congestion, safety, and the
environmental impact of transportation.
Specifically the objective of MARTA is to foster research and development in
communication between vehicles and to the infrastructure to develop
technological solutions that will improve transportation. These intelligent systems
of the future will contribute to reduce traffic congestion, reduce accidents, and in
the event of an accident automatically contact the Emergency Services. Applied
correctly the technology also exists to provide a more efficient and sustainable
forms of transportation that reduce its environmental impact. In general terms
MARTA will cover communication protocols, vehicle and infrastructure equipment,
human-machine interface (HMI), services for the end-users, and methodologies to
increase the efficiency in the traffic infrastructure as it relates to the motor vehicle

AmiVital: Personal digital environment for health
and wellbeing
The objective of AmIVital is to develop a new generation
of technology and tools of information and
communications for the design, implementation and
operation of devices of Environmental Intelligence (AmI)
whose aim is to obtain services and personal supports of
the independent life, the well-being and the health. These
objectives are integrated totally in the European
Atmosphere concept of Vital Aid (AAL, Ambient Assisted
Living)
23
VISION

This project has the objective to develop a new system of
communication that allows to transmit the sensation of real presence,
so that that the separated people by great distances perceive the
sensation to physically be meeting in a same place. The development
of the systems of communication with presence sensation, will
contribute to a great extent to the reduction of the use of the transport,
replacing them by virtual communications that nevertheless offer the
same sensations that a actual encounter. These new capacities in the
communication systems open the doors to new forms of professional
relation as well as personal. It will make possible one improves
already in the social and familiar relations that they will even favor the
interpersonal encounter between separated people by great distances.
In order to obtain this, the project will be centered in the investigation
of the technologies that allow the development of the new systems of
communication.
