When Bob broke his leg, he needed to buy a medical cane. He chose to buy YesUCane. Bob started by configuring the cane by entering its reference on the website that we developed. Now, he can configure the desired service for each one of the 4 buttons. Bob could choose services such as Facebook API for writing a predefined status or webservices for any connected device that he might have in his home and he choosed to configured two Services: Uber and a predefined sms that tells his mother to open the door for him as he has difficulty do it by himself. One Day, Bob wanted to take a small walk but after some kilometers, it started raining. Bob, with his condition, wasn`t able to use his phone. While standing in the street, he pressed a button on his cane to send an Uber request, and the little LED turned on orange which means that the request was in process. After many seconds, the Led turned Green as the request was sent successfully. Bob waited for a moment until the handle vibrated: someone responded to his request. He pressed the confirmation button to end the process. Arriving home, Bob pressed on the second service button to prevent his mother to open the door. The first time, the LED turned red which means that his command was not executed successfully. He restarted the process but this time the LED turned green. Bob got a vibration on the cane which a notification from his mother as confirmation that she got the message. After waiting a few moments, the door opened and bob could enter home safely.

The YesUCane allows users to use different services they chose via different interfaces: - A pressure sensor on the handle that allows to know if the cane is being used or not - Configurable buttons to select the service to use - A vibrator to know when a response has arrived - An RGB LED to know the status of the service

Note : (including a figure on the orchestration between services on objects and information systems)

The cane is wired to a HTC S8 device via which it uses the GPS and Wifi connection to send information to a distant server where it stores all the data and uses different web services. The exemple of services we are going to use on the YesUcane are : - APIs of applications such as Uber where the user will be able to call for a Uber drive via the button he specified on the configuration , his geolocalisation will be detected and sent and receive a response that will be announced via vibrations on the handle. - APIs of social networks such as Facebook or twitter where the user will chose a predefined status or tweet that will be sent in case of emergency - Webservices of connected objects in the user’s house. - SMS services of the user’s phone to send a predefined message to one or two favorite numbers.

* We unfortunatly made our object ourselves.

Many sensors can be added to the Cane: Gyroscope, Accelerometer, voice notifications and control …

The Cane can be configured with any service than has been added to the platform. It can be a highly configurable device that fits every user’s need.

WeatherForecast API, statistics about the frequency of use, favorite locations, …

We have already made a website to the user, which allows him to configure the services that he wants to put on his cane. He can also display statistics of the use of his gadget. So as a perspective, in addition to the website, we can offer him a mobile application so the user can configure his Cane and manage his account remotely.
