The development of computer technology has been rapid. Not so long ago, the first computer was developed which was large and bulky. Now, the latest generation of smartphones has a calculation power, which would have been considered those of supercomputers in 1990. For a smart environment, the person recognition and re-recognition is an important topic. The distribution of new technologies like wearable computing is a new approach to the field of person recognition and re-recognition. This article lays out the idea of identifying and reidentifying wearable computing devices by listening to their wireless communication connectivity like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and building a classification of interaction scenarios for the combination of human-wearable-environment.
