Abstract:
A transportable sensor or set of sensors maybe carried conveniently by a user in a condition ready to be connected to a computing device, such as a PDA, a pocket computer, a laptop computer, or a desktop computer which may have an internet connection and communications capabilities. The sensor(s) maybe carried by a user, preferably on his person, in a convenient way and so that they may be readily and quickly connected to a computing device. It is contemplated that such connection would be possible through the inclusion of a modular or industry standard connector on the device. The sensor could also be detachably connectable to or housed within a housing provided in an article with an independent function, such as a pen, a wireless telephone, an eyeglass frame, an eyeglass cover, a shirt pocket, a belt, or an article of clothing worn by a user.
