Currently, there exists a widespread availability of portable or “intelligent” devices such as digital cameras, agendas, tablets, and smartwatches. Recently, an article was published in the newspaper “ABC” on 11 may, 2017, about the lack of information of minors and the risks of Internet. In fact, many studies realized in the Proyecto Hombre Association have effectively shown a 90% of young from 10 and 14 years, they have a portable device. As well, the majority of them use it for chatting and disseminate images and videos in social networks, without knowing some basic privacy rules (Setién, 2017). This problem increases when adolescents and adults have a lack of knowledge about electronical devices functioning.

When we refer to “the intelligence” of a device, we cannot forget that something can apport benefit and solutions if something, previously, knows what it is happening. It is obvious that data are fundamental in this process. For more information, knowing smartwatches advantages. Among other functions, a smartwatch can measure arterial pressure and temperature, interacting with reconnaissance activities, controlling all our devices connected to Internet, notifying, and reading an email from your wrist without acceding to smartphone, sending voice messages, controlling your social networks, and taking calls (Yañez, 2015).

To know more about “smartwatches” and its relation to human activities surveillance, we take as a reference this investigation article: An Analysis of Human Activities Recognition using Smartwatches Dataset. It was published by the International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications in December 2020 (Karim et al., 2020).

Smartwatches

Smartwatches have sensors which identify human behaviours patterns and machine learning techniques, the Bayes rule, data processing and k-nearest neighbours. These processes create a big volume of information with which getting accuracy in the results. These sensors are very useful for monitoring human healthy and offering services to patient. This is because they can measure many physical activities such as walking, cycling, running and walking up and down stairs.  The sensors what we are referring to are: Global Positioning System (GPS), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and Near Field Communication (NFC). These technologies that are easily connected and disconnected, they offer valued information about our personal life. In other words, we are feeding the “intelligence” of device without any precaution.

GPS services are not only included in smartwatches, but they are frequently used in minors tracking device. However, there exists a huge lack of knowledge about this. The way of walks of our child does not only known by their parents, familiar or nearest friends, but technological enterprises can also manage this information. In fact, a security branch can cost a child abduction, which would implies a crime of gravity (Judd, 2020). In this approach, it is interesting to mention the Anna’s case. It is a real fact that the engineer, Maik Morgenstern, narrated in the blog Internet of Things in November 2019.

Anna is a young girl who lives with her parents in Lücklemberg district. During summer holidays, Anna usually goes with her grandparents to Norderney because her parents’ job. Anna often takes some short walks. On first thought, it is a history told by any person, but not, this relevant information has been told by a smartwatch (Morgenstern, 2019).
