Micro-Environment Sensing for Smartphones

Abstract

Context-awareness is getting progressively important for a range of mobile and pervasive applications on
nowadays smartphones. Though human-driven settings (e.g., indoor/outdoor, at home/in office, driving/walking) have
been widely researched, few attempts have studied from phones' point of view (e.g., on table/couch, in pocket/hand/bag).
We refer to such immediate surroundings as micro-environment, normally a few to a dozen of centimeters, around a
phone. In this study, we designed and implemented Micro-Environment Sensing for Smartphones, a micro-environment
sensing platform that automatically records sensor hints and describes the micro-environment of smartphones. The
podium has seriatim as a demigod evolution on a smartphones and gives finer-grained atmosphere material to upper
layer applications by means of programming interfaces. Micro-Environment Sensing for Smartphones is a brought
together structure covering the significant instances of phone use, situation, disposition, and cooperation in down to
earth utilizes with entangled client propensities. As a long-term running middleware, Micro-Environment Sensing for
Smartphones considers both vitality utilization and client friendship. We model Micro-Environment Sensing for
Smartphones on Android OS and efficiently assess its execution with data gathered on fifteen scenarios amid three
weeks. The opening outcomes reveal that Micro-Environment Sensing for Smartphones realizes stumpy liveliness charge,
fast system distribution and inexpensive sensing exactness.
