Abstract(in English) Numbers of devices are distributed in the environment in wearable and ubiquitous computing systems, and the devices need power supply and communication ways as well as flexibility of placement, but wireless and wired communications intrinsically contain the problems for power supply or flexibility of placement. In this paper, we propose the flexible network system, named as TextileNet, for wearable and ubiquitous computing systems. TextileNet employs the wear whose both sides consist of low-resistance fabric as electrodes, where the power are supplied from a battery, and the devices are attached by sticking for electric contact to obtain power and communication on the wear's surface. This paper describes TextileNet system, as well as its implementation and evaluation.
