Songs managing system using tags, for SongA ft. B

iPhone5 was not coming this time,,,, now the latest is iPhone4S, hmmm...
but the only portable mac thing i have is... older version of iPod nano... (though i use mac book...)
When i use iPod, i sometimes feel bothersome to choose songs like "SONGNAME ft. FEATURING"

cos i want to listen to the song that is sung by A, but that song's artist name is "A feat. B" or something like that....

then, if we could have a tag system for mp3 players, then the song can belongs to both A and B....

then the management would be easier....
i dont know weather i could make u understand or not....

fig. changing properties that a song has

fig. songs that artists have

this time, artist name are something like tag, though all properties could be something like tags...

iPhone nano would be interesting

iPod nano now is really fantastic for me... in terms of mobility.

i haven't used this, but i heard that it is not so hard to use...
and the nice thing for me is we can carry it like a watch! that's something interesting...
then, i just wonder what if we could use it like a phone??

i posted before Cordless extention of mobile phone in which we can use other device as a cordless extension of a mobile phone, but what if the mobile phone itself is small enough so that we can carry with us always... just like a watch! not as big as this one.. lol

a picture of a mobile phone carrying like a watch

a picture used in Cordless extention of mobile phone

now we tend to bring many things with us... but many functions are overlapped. for example, iPhone and iPad.

then, it is no use if all of them has networking function, i mean we don't necessarily connect all the things into network, (when we regard the price? :p )

then, what is the merit to use all of those thing? i can't really figure them all out, but there must be something... my guess is it depends on application, and for example seeing through the website, it would be better if we could have a bigger screen...

then, how about something like following picture?
we can use the same installed application, and network, or phone call through other devices just with docking with other devices. could be nice as well :)

could be nice if we have a place to connect iphone nano in our laptop as well :) ....no? lol

Mouse with Vibrating function

Just wonder what if there is a mouse, that has a vibrating function, in order to tell some notifications...
Got an e-mail in certain account, or someone chatted u in facebook, google, skype...

might be interesting to integrate growl

Computer Display with Digital Photo Frame Function

I always dreaming to have digital photo frames such like following

it is not that expensive, but not really easy to buy...
and when i imagine the process of usage (i haven't used that though) sometimes we can insert cards, or we will connect to the computer...

then, i just wondered it would be nice if computer display could have digital photo frame function after turning off the computer...
that is i think very simple, just connect the picture folder to display, or having small storage in display.

Cordless extention of mobile phone

i just found interesting post at

Ladies Bluetooth Fashion Bracelet lets you see who’s calling without taking out your phone

the idea is having easy access monitor of mobile phone in their arm...
(of course it is more than that though)

but this idea made me come up with today's idea...


we bring mobile phone everywhere...
but yes, as the author of the blog said, sometimes it is in a deep place in one's bag... then it might be interesting to have a cordless extension of mobile phone.
of course the function is almost the same, and i know you think it is useless...

but what if we could connect ipod and your mobile phone?(though iPhone is something like that :p) or more than that, your headphone/earphone and your mobile? your headphone could become your phone, with bluetooth.
operation and auditory information will be transform via bluetooth. the device that is "calling", i mean using network is your mobile, but the thing that you are using to call/talk is not your phone anymore.

when it will be available? or why did i said something like this??


before answering that, i would like to ask you...
when u use ur phone??




especially for japanese, im sure that many people would say "when i have a time"
the answer would not be "when i want to call." anymore.


so...

the idea is super simple.
make all of the devices being able to call through phone.
can be ipod, can be a watch, or can be something else.

i mean, it would be nice if we could answer the phone with the bracelet or something else which is the closest to u at the moment!
im sure that is not that difficult in terms of technology!

Physical Folders of Local Folder in A Computer

which is easier? finding something on your shelf, or finding something in your local folder on your computer???

it depends on what is "something", and on users...
for some people, i guess it is easier to find something in physical world.

for example, i like making folder with strict rules, it means there are a lot of files that exist in more than 5 folders deeper from home folder... click again and again, and reach to one folder.
but then for me, in physical world, my favorite books/current reading books are always near by me.

then, it might be interesting to have physical folder in our life to access to local folder in our computer. of course it doesn't mean we will have tons of folders, but some of the folders that we use(or used) often.
of course, we can make alias (or short cut) to access easily.
but sometimes it is easier, and for example if touching on them enables to focus on the folder when we are using another application, the operation would be faster.
and for some reasons, the folders that we used to use often (means have a lot of memories) will not be accessed without any reasons later on... however, if we could have something physical, then we might have some opportunities to remember them and seeing through them.

there are of course hard drives or usb memories which is physical, and able to keep data or memories. but in my idea, the contents itself is in one's computer, the physical thing is just for accessing that folder.
... hmmm... can't explain it well, hope u could understand the concept...

Sharing mobile screen

sometimes, when using skype, i really appreciate the function of "sharing the screen"

which is, showing what one is seeing on one's display to the other's display.

as i said in previous post, i actually observed people in macdonald for 5h the day before.
then i found that, people (might be only japanese..) never stop using their mobile....
sometimes they are talking not facing each other, but seeing their own mobile...
sometimes they are showing how great the picture on one's mobile is..( mainly how cool the guy is :p)

then, it might be interesting to have a function in which we can share one's screen to everybody through their mobile.
that is especially useful when one wants to show his picture to his friends. it is always bothersome to pass the phone each time... but if we could share the screen, ( i don't know maybe with bluetooth or something other? bluetooth might not have that protocol to share the image at the sametime... so might be 3g or wifi? hmm....not that sexy...) then, we can talk about the same thing and no need to pass your own mibile!


of course to share something, there must be an idea of projection... but i know some of the company is now developing small projector, so i just avoid to say projector on purpose...

face history table

in Macdonald, i spend almost 5h being alone.
i had an appointment, but i arrived there too early...

then, i decided to "observe" people in macdonald.

i wrote down things i found more frequently than every 5 mins ( including [that girl is cute])

then,,, i found that

most of the girls are talking about guys, and "that guy is IKEMEN (means cool in japanese)" and showing the picture in their mobile...

then, i found... or might be the thing that i already knew... girls like to talk about guys, and guys also like to talk about girls...


then, today's idea is that...

it would be interesting if we could have a table, which remembers all the people who sat down on the same table, and is able to show with the screen which the table has, so that people can talk about guys and girls...

Capturing Refrigerators

this idea is really nice :)





but for me, the only merit is access from distant places...
especially when we are in super market, we would like to know what do we already have, and what we are missing...

i couldn't get how this technology get to know data inside fridge, but only thing i wanna know is not expiration date, but "what is inside the fridge?"

so it might be nice if we have fridge scanner, and we can access to that image wherever we are.
that might be cheaper and efficient :)

wearable video recorder

today's idea is about video recorder.
what i thought of the problem is, real time recording in specific situation; sports, concert, and so on.
then, what is the problem there??

imagine you were using video recorder, in order to record your child's soccer game. and you are thinking of having really good film for the future.
then, you won't be able to leave your focus from the video recorder's display. it means, you can not watch your child's game directly, only through your display.

same thing happen when you were in concert, and the main person is moving around, and he/she came just in front of you.
then, there is only one option you can take, whether taking picture instead of touching him/her, or touching him/her instead of picturing.
there's no choice to take both of the options.

then, i thought there should be solutions for that, and today's idea is for that.
actually similar post was here (hints from Video glasses, and portable printers) as well, but this time, it is a bit different.
the design is something like that

maybe it needs a lot of prototypes.... i mean it is not the final product, but im thinking basically like this.
of course, one opinion i will get from prototypes must be "feedback"; whether filming or not, where the video is aiming at, and so on.
the solution might be something like this, (from dragonball lol)

or can be a separate display like mobile phone....

but still, we need to develop, but i think it could satisfy user's need very much....

Glasses for Camera, Video, 3dtv, AR

Hmm.... I just predict how human being will change from now on...

there are some famous picture, and i just added two more pics

the 2nd left one is having mobile, or tablet, and the next one is wearing glasses.

why glasses?? i just got inspiration from following videos







But for me, if it is tv itself, i dont want to use it...
As i mentioned  in  hints from Video glasses, and portable printers if it is a camera, or video, i would be happy.

and we could include function for 3d tv as well, and also it would be a really good interface for AR technology.

this might be a bit different type of "idea" from other posts,  but i would suggest some glasses which has camera, video, 3d tv, and ar interface...

hope it won't be so heavy... lol

we might be able to use head phone as well. to reduce the weight, and to link with sound.

Car lane change supporting| own traffic signal

I don't drive so much...
what i feel the fear most is... parking, and changing lane.
I need to check a lot of times to find i can change the lane...

then, today's idea is having some support system for those.

I found that many cars has some blinker systems on their side mirror...

and additionally I am sure that there are some cheep technology that the car is near from the car or not...

then, today's idea is really simple, having own traffic signal on each side mirror.
For example, when we change the lane to right side, he has to be carefully see the prople passed through. then, what if something can tell me that "now it is ok to change the lane"?? ... of cause it would be ok with really trust-alble automated car, so that we don't need to afraid... but the solution is not that sexy... technologically, ok, but design aspect is not that good for me :p

followings are my proposal about showing information

red light means it is dangerous to turn

green light means it is ok to turn

 hmmm.... hope everybody could understand...
the looks-like-traffic signal are shown on the side mirror which we use to confirm...

Changing lane lump will only appear when we show the signal to turn right. if the light is read, it means it is dangerous to change the lane, then green, we can change the lane, or something like that :)

Desktop Computer with Battery

It might be nice if we have a Desktop computer with battery...

so that we would no longer afraid of blackout :)

just for 3h or some is enough, but it is a bit dangerous that PCs get turn off suddenly when it was unplugged...

Alert Display in a Car

There are various of alert system in a car with display like this (referred from here )

But... I don't know, when something dangerous happen to us, i don't think we can see the displays...
that is why many devices are trying to do it with sounds, and others which are non-visual info

but what i thought today is... there might be a display, which was seen when the accident was happened / or about to happen...
that is... mobile phone

Then, what if we could connect our mobile to the sensor technologies in a car, so that phones will alert us emergency??

using mobile while driving (though it might be prohibited)

Alert appears when sensor detect something

hmm, would be nice^^
even though in many countries prohibit us to use mobile in cars, there definitely are a lot of people who are using mobiles in their cars...

A Display on A Car's Roof with Network

Today's idea is about a car.

I will show you the idea first, and explain the reasons why it is needed.

the Idea is attaching a display on a car roof, and show whatever the person behind want using network...
for example, movie...  In order to let them know or to get their attention, when something happen, or when it comes to turning point for them, the display shows some other thing: turn right at next corner, the car was stopped, or the traffic light became red...

I dare say, the car in front, so that we can switch the car in any cases :)

watching movie on the roof of the car in front

seeing a navigation when needed

the reasons behind are... people are seeing the car in front while they are driving, i think
and for example, when we are with our friends, the others than drivers can see movies or do anything they want, but rarely drivers...
then, what if drivers just need to see the displays, in order to go to their destinations and sharing exciting moment with riders at the same time???...

and it might be linked to previous post
[Finding a person who knows what we want to know]
people don't need to see the navigation, but just follow the car who knows the route instead...

Key shape USB key, 1 place for 1 usb key

Things we always bring nowadays are

• Mobile
• Wallet
• Key

the tree things....
and now, mobile has various of functions, and almost everything, we can do with our phone....
and one of other things, that you probably bring always when you go to work or go to school would be... USB key, isn't it?
and following pictures are the design idea that was presented here

Depending on the place, they change the usb key to use. for example, at office, and at private place :)

it would be nice, because we do not need to confuse where the file is, and also for virus.. maybe private computers are not that protected compare to the office computers...

then... if there are some needs to change the usb key depending on where they are, it would be nicer if we can integrate with following

and here, the usb key is only for usb key, but how about we can create a thing that is house key, and usb key at the same time... maybe most of you can tell which is the key for house, or office, or school, or other places, so they can easily chose the usb keys for appropriate place :)

A Vertical Display laptop

As i saw some people using his second display with vertical shape,
i was wondering why there is no vertical screen laptop???

I am sure that many of the people who use tablet pc, is using their tablet in vertical ways...
it is... more normal, if we read some article, write some document, because these are meant to be continue to vertical way...


Of course, when we see a movie, or when we do something other than reading or writing, it might be better to have it in wide way....
though.... i just thought some of the company can create some computer which enable us to change into both vertical, and horizontal ways...

but yes, for laptop, the main needs should be light and easy to carry, and no needs for additional thing that makes it larger.....

but :(

Non-Frame Display

many people use display as multi-display

so... what if we could have non-frame display???
it would be nice :)

impossible??? hmmm

hints from Video glasses, and portable printers

I just saw an article,

Polaroid's Lady Gaga Tech: Cameras, Video Glasses

something like  those

one is portable printer, and another one is glass with camera and videos, and the last one is (maybe) so-called Polaroid camera (with a lot of function), i think

Video streaming by Ustream


The products here solves a lot of problems that we currently have actually i think.

As i mentioned here before, current camera has many problems...

for example, while parents watching the football game of their children, if they take the roll of taking a video, they would never clap their hands, or can watch them only through the display...

In that sense,  the sun glasses camera brought by Lady gaga was really great idea i think.

or... if i dare say, the second best nest to this idea...








and... yes, there are various of ways to solve the current camera's problem

and maybe i will try to come up with some ideas to solve that also.

but today, what i will give you as an idea is more simple...


i think that is true that people want to print without connecting current big printers...
sometimes it can be in the Mac Donald, or in the airport or any places...

so, what if we can have some printer just under the laptop or tablet like iPad???
as i saw in the first video, it seems that it might be possible to make it really small....

or... not print, but scanning.... now we have a period to avoid having paper materials, so what if we can easily scan with computer and save it instantly... we have camera, but scan is much better i think....


hmm.... am i dreaming too much?? yes, a bit unfair just adding some function to existing product....  i might not say it as new idea :p
but for me, the printer or scanner is more like set with computer ! (or cameras :p)

Computer Interface/ keyboard and touch pad at the sametime

Following is the video of 2009's (or 2008?) mobile phone in Japan.

sorry, the advertisement is in Japanese, but you can see the function which enable the keyboard to be used as a touch screen...
Hmm... i dont know how to say it appropriately though...

see the video below






This came to market right after the iPhone came i think...
while many companies tried to make touch screen, this company went to different way.


maybe one of the needs behind is that, many japanese were suspicious about whether we can keep the screen clean or not

I think it is really interesting idea for computers....

I mean, what if we only have a keyboard instead of "mouse and keyboard" or "touch pad and keyboard"?


and we can control our cursor with moving our finger on the surface of the keyboard as we do with the touch pad in laptop.
and we can click with tapping the surface also, and we can type if we press the button solidly.... or just pressing one button which changes into cursor -> typing, typing -> cursor since we don't really use it at the really same time...

hmmm.... maybe it will cause some problems, but as thinkpad do, it would be good if we can have some controllers near keyboards, so that we could type and move cursor at the same time :)

I'm using mac book though... i can understand the feeling who loves think pad :)
