\begin_layout Part
Background
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Context- or Activity-Aware devices is an area currently under lots of research.
 There are many and varied applications of activity-aware devices, ranging
 from personal fitness and healthcare to training factory workers or merely
 playing music.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
While this research is going on, there has been a huge expansion in the
 ownership, use and power of mobile telephones.
 Mobile telephones are so ubiquitous and now come with such a large sensor
 platform that they are the obvious choice for implementing activity-aware
 technologies for use in day-to-day life.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This project aims to make a context-aware API available on an open mobile
 platform, which will enable developers to start adding context-aware functional
ity to their applications without the extremely large overhead of writing
 a logger and classifier themselves, or re-engineering the application to
 use an existing context-aware framework if one is available.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Applications
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are many documented applications of activity-aware systems, and current
 research efforts which bring the technology to mobile telephones will only
 serve to lengthen this list.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The canonical example for activity-awareness, especially on mobile telephones,
 is modeling the user's 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

interruptibility
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset


\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Siewiorek2003,Raento2005"

\end_inset

.
 This allows the software to know whether it's appropriate (or "polite")
 to disturb the user, and can advise the user's contacts when they are busy.
 It can also be used to create a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

smart answering machine
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Hudson2003"

\end_inset

 which can selectively direct calls straight to an answering machine if
 the user is engaged in an "uninterpretable" activity and the call does
 not appear to be important.
 These allow the user's mobile telephone to better approximate human behaviour
 - when approaching someone in person it is normally quite easy to determine
 whether it would be polite or necessary to disturb them, based on their
 demeanour, activity, and the urgency of your request; when picking up the
 telephone it is not possible at all without assistance from an activity-aware
 system.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The current implementations of these ideas have several problems, however.
 The more interesting research 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Hudson2003"

\end_inset

 requires a static camera fixed in an office to observe user behaviour,
 instead of implementing it directly on a telephone, which obviously constrains
 its usefulness.
 Of the two solutions actually targeted at mobile telephones, one
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Siewiorek2003"

\end_inset

 requires bulky custom hardware which the user must carry on their belt,
 and the other 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Raento2005"

\end_inset

does not expose an API to other applications and only surfaces the context-aware
 functionality in two small applications whose focus is on social interaction
 rather than improving the user's experience of the telephone locally.
 This project will aim to bring the ideas of these to generic hardware (an
 Android mobile telephone), and to provide an API which other applications
 can harness.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One use particularly suitable for mobile phones is dynamic adaptation of
 the device's settings based on the user's current activity and context
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Schmidt1999"

\end_inset

.
 When a user is walking the device can dynamically increase the font size
 to make it easier to read with an unsteady hand, and correspondingly decrease
 it when the user is stationary.
 In a similar fashion, the brightness of the backlight can be altered based
 on the ambient light level, and the ringer volume altered according to
 the noise level.
 Unfortunately this research did not progress beyond a feasibility study
 and was implemented on a Nokia 6110, which is severely outdated by today's
 standards.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Another popular area for activity-aware systems is in healthcare.
 Such systems can be used to monitor vulnerable people as they go about
 day to day activities to ensure that they're not in trouble - several systems
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Song2005,Maurer2006"

\end_inset

 can be used to monitor elderly persons and summon help if it is detected
 that they have fallen.
 Another healthcare application
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Tentori2008"

\end_inset

 allows nurses to remotely monitor the activities of their patients in a
 hospital ward, allowing them to respond to problems and keep up-to-date
 with their patients' well-being while not physically present.
 Activity-aware applications have also been used to try to encourage users
 to be more healthy; one novel application records the day-to-day fitness
 activities a user performs and uses this as a basis for a virtual 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

garden
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 that blossoms or wilts according to how much the user works out in a week
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Consolvo2008"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As well as monitoring activities which the user is familiar with, activity-aware
 systems can also be used to assist users in learning new activities.
 One application
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Stiefmeier2008"

\end_inset

 monitors the activities of trainee workers in a car manufacturing plant,
 and helps to provide a link between theoretical classroom-based training
 and practical work.
 The activity-aware system can offer advice to the workers that's directly
 related to the current task they're performing, and can even monitor their
 activities for compliance with procedures and give them a score afterwards.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
While the research into healthcare and training applications present novel
 uses of activity-aware systems, the applications themselves are not really
 applicable to a mobile device or the scope of this project.
 The research does, however, describe the techniques used in those applications
 for activity classification and should prove useful in that respect.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Other areas of research include making activity-aware suggestions to the
 user 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Bellotti2008"

\end_inset

, or issuing reminders or alerts based on the user's activity 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Schilit1994"

\end_inset

.
 One example of the latter is an activity-aware system that detects when
 the user is making coffee, and plays a sound on a remote computer to alert
 thirsty coworkers to the fact.
 Sound isn't only limited to alerts, however: the

\begin_inset CommandInset citation

key "Dornbush2005"

\end_inset

 project is an activity-aware music player, which tailors the music being
 played to the user's current activity based on their past ratings.
 This type of activity-aware device presents a much greater level of personalisa
tion than previously possible, and making this type of customisation available
 to mobile telephone users and application developers will surely result
 in many new applications.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Inferring activity
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are three general phases in most context-aware systems: a sensing
 component, which reads or receives raw sensor data relating to the user's
 environment or activity; a feature extraction component, which analysis
 the sensor data and identifies a set of features from that data; and a
 classification component, which uses the extracted features to reason about
 the user's activity
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Choudhury2008"

\end_inset

.
 Each of these components will be expanded on below.
 Depending on the method of classification, some initial or continuous training
 may be required, and this is also considered below.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Sensors and devices
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
At the basis of activity-recognition are the physical hardware sensors.
 The most commonly used sensor is the accelerometer, which outputs the accelerat
ion of the sensor
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
and thus the device to which it's attached, and therefore the person using
 the device
\end_layout

\end_inset

 along a certain axis.
 There is extensive research on using accelerometers to classify activities
 such as walking 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Mathie2004,Garakani2009"

\end_inset

 (including whether or not the subject is walking on flat ground or up and
 down stairs 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Caros2005"

\end_inset

), running 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Garakani2009"

\end_inset

, falling 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Mathie2004"

\end_inset

, sitting 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Mathie2004,Garakani2009"

\end_inset

, cycling 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Garakani2009"

\end_inset

, etc.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Accelerometers can be combined with magnetic field sensors to convert the
 relative acceleration of the device into an absolute acceleration with
 respect to the Earth.
 This is particularly important when the sensor platform - a mobile telephone
 - can be oriented in different ways while performing the same activity.
 There are, for example, four different ways to comfortably fit a typical
 smartphone into a trouser pocket, made up of two possible orientations
 around two axis 
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
screen facing towards or away from the body, and the device oriented the
 right way up or upside down
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 With just raw accelerometer data these four orientations would lead to
 different data for the same activity, but with the combination of magnetic
 field sensors we can normalise them.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Smartphones also come equipped with a microphone and GSM stack (prerequisites
 for a telephone conversation!), and commonly a camera, geolocation API
 (usually backed by GPS) and Bluetooth stack.
 With the exception of the latter two, these types of sensors are not particular
ly well explored for their use in context-aware systems at present.
 It is easy to reason how each would be useful - a microphone can reveal
 the ambient noise, which could indicate the difference between sitting
 in a library and a bar; the camera likewise can reveal the lighting conditions
 (if the device is not in a pocket or bag).
 The GSM stack can provide rough location information and also a signal
 strength to one or more cell towers; the signal strength will vary both
 with the user's proximity to the cell tower and the environment around
 them - being inside will degrade the signal more than being in open air,
 for example - so may provide vital clues to a context-aware system.
 One aspect of this project will be to research how the microphone, camera
 and GSM stack can be used to enhance existing activity classification algorithm
s.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Feature detection
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
It is not possible to reason directly about raw sensor inputs, so the next
 step in inferring activities is to extract useful 
\emph on
features
\emph default
 from the raw input.
 Features are usually mathematical properties of the input data, such as
 the difference between the minimum and maximum data point in a given time
 frame.
 Most classifiers use an extremely large number of features - 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand citet
key "Hein2008"

\end_inset

 detect 562 different features from their inputs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Some of the more commonly used features in activity-recognition systems
 are: mean, standard deviation, energy, entropy, correlation between axis,
 and discrete FFT coefficients
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Huynh2005"

\end_inset

.
 Obviously, not all features are of equal value.
 FFT coefficients are generally very good indicators of activity, but the
 ideal coefficients and window sizes vary depending on the exact activity
 that is being detected.
 Likewise, the choice of other features to give the best recognition rate
 varies depending on the activity being detected
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Huynh2005"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As the sensor data is received continuously, it needs to be partitioned
 somehow before features are extracted.
 Most implementations use a sliding window approach with a 50% overlap between
 windows
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Bao2004"

\end_inset

.
 A window size of 10 seconds with a 50% overlap would result in one set
 of features being computed every 5 seconds.
 The window size is normally selected to correspond to a pre-defined number
 of samples to enable fast computation of certain features - most notably
 FFTs
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Bao2004"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One challenge will be determining a set of features that are robust enough
 to perform activity analysis on, but are sufficiently inexpensive to calculate
 continually on a mobile device, where CPU speed is limited and excessive
 usage results in undesirable higher battery consumption.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Training
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In order to meaningfully classify and label activities, some kind of training
 generally needs to be performed beforehand.
 The choice of classifier affects how much offline analysis has to be done
 on the training set, and whether or not it can be adapted at run-time.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One might expect that training would best be performed in a controlled environme
nt, to reduce external influences on the user, but subjects in a laboratory
 setting are much more self-conscious about their movements, and this manifests
 itself in the data collected.
 Walking in a laboratory tends to produce acceleration data showing a consistent
 gait cycle which can be split into distinct phases, whereas walking in
 an uncontrolled setting produces data showing large fluctuations in gait
 phases and length.
 This means that classifiers trained on laboratory data may achieve a much
 lower accuracy when deployed in natural conditions
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Bao2004"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Classification
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The classification step involves feeding the features for frame into some
 kind of machine learning algorithm which can, using training data
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
and any offline analysis made of that data
\end_layout

\end_inset

, determine which activity the feature-set most like represents.
 There are many different algorithms that can be used to perform the classificat
ion, some of which are discussed below.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Decision trees
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Decision trees are possibly one of the simplest approaches possible
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Hudson2003"

\end_inset

.
 A tree is constructed such that each node contains a test function, with
 branches for each possible discrete outcome of the function.
 This allows data to be classified with a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

divide and conquer
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 approach.
 While high accuracy is possible in some circumstances
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Hudson2003"

\end_inset

, there are several drawbacks to decision trees: a plain decision tree has
 no way to model uncertainty - in an activity-aware system there will always
 be a degree of uncertainty as to the classification, and being able to
 measure this is an important tool.
 They also have an inductive bias which leads to a preference for the most
 general solution, and in most cases this generalisation causes many false
 results
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Shen2004"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Decision trees require the structure of the tree and the test functions
 for each node to be determined during training.
 They do not lend themselves to minor on-the-fly modifications or new activities
 that are not part of the training set.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Neural networks
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Neural networks are based on an extremely simplified model of the brain.
 The network consists of layers of neurons, and each neuron performs a simple
 arithmetic operation on its inputs.
 This normally consists of taking each of its inputs, multiplying it by
 a weight, and then summing all of the weighted inputs together; the resulting
 figure then becomes the neuron's output, and the input to one or more nodes
 in the next layer.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A network consists of a layer of input neurons, a layer containing one or
 more output neurons, and one or more layers of 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

hidden
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 neurons in between.
 The number of 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

hidden
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 layers, and the number of neurons within those layers must be chosen before
 training of the network begins.
 The training process will then determine the weights for each link in the
 network.
 The choice of number of layers poses a problem when designing a network,
 as too small a number can cripple the power of the network, but too large
 can cause it to be too expensive to evaluate and can possibly lead to it
 memorising erroneous data
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Dornbush2005"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Neural networks, however, do provide good accuracy and could potentially
 (although not easily) be modified on-the-fly to cope with new activities.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Genetic algorithms
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Genetic algorithms use the principle of natural selection to 'evolve' a
 solution to a problem.
 A set of random solutions are created, and a pre-defined fitness function
 is used to determine their relative worth.
 The best solutions are then combined together to produce the next generation
 of solutions, in a manner roughly analogous to reproduction in animals.
 Small 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

mutations
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 are also introduced into each generation to counter the effect of local
 maxima being reached.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Genetic algorithms can be combined with other techniques such as neural
 networks - the weights in the neural network can be 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

evolved
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 using genetic algorithms to create a neural network which is good as satisfying
 the fitness function.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The drawback of genetic algorithms is the need for a fitness function -
 the network will only ever be as good as the fitness function, and if you
 have a way to define what makes a good network you could in most cases
 hardcode the solution instead of evolving a network to satisfy it.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Instance-based learning
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Instance-based learning (IBL)
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Witten2000"

\end_inset

 algorithms are a class of 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

lazy
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 algorithms.
 They perform classification based on previously observed instances that
 have already been classified.
 There is no training required for IBLs, they're extremely adept at adapting
 to new scenarios, and they have a very low error rate
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Dornbush2005"

\end_inset

 which makes them ideal for activity-recognition.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One particular type of IBL algorithm which is frequently seen in activity-aware
 research is the K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) algorithm
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Han2006"

\end_inset

.
 With the KNN algorithm, each sample is treated as a vector, and the distance
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
the euclidean distance is usually used, but any metric will suffice
\end_layout

\end_inset

 between the sample and the existing instances is calculated.
 The sample is then classified according to the classification of the majority
 of its 
\begin_inset Formula $k$
\end_inset

 nearest neighbours.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One drawback of IBLs is that each new instance tends to be remembered for
 future use, which eventually results in large amounts of memory consumption
 and complexity when comparing distances of new samples.
 This can be partially overcome by only storing instances which would affect
 the classification of new samples
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Witten2000"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The KNN algorithm can be easily extended to support dynamic classification
 of new types of activities - if a sample is not within a certain distance
 of sufficient other samples, it can be classified as a new type of activity.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Conclusion
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are numerous machine learning algorithms available and suitable for
 use in activity classification tasks.
 There has been a lot of research into their use, and all of the algorithms
 discussed have produced good results.
 Because of the lack of need for any training, however, the K-Nearest Neighbour
 algorithm appears to be the most promising for a mobile device.
 Any algorithm that needs explicit training prior to classification would
 almost certainly require a desktop application or a remote service to analyse
 the data, as it typically requires large amounts of memory and expensive
 computations.
 This either makes the application extremely cumbersome for the user (they
 have to connect their phone to a computer, transfer a file, obtain and
 run a separate application, then transfer some file back), or puts a large
 resource burden onto the distributor (having to remotely analyse all of
 the data from all users would require dedicated hardware for any more than
 a few users).

\begin_layout Section
Mobile telephones
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
It's hard to overstate the ubiquity of mobile telephones at present.
 In 2003, over a billion mobile telephones were sold - six times as many
 as the number of personal computers
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Eagle2004"

\end_inset

.
 In 2007, this same figure describes the number of cameraphones sold
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite

\end_inset

, clearly representing a substantial growth in sales and advancements in
 the technology.
 In fact, mobile telephones are the fastest adopted technology in human
 history
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Eagle2004"

\end_inset

.
 This ubiquity, coupled with the fact that mobile telephones are comfortably
 carried around on a daily basis by most of their users, makes them a very
 attractive alternative to more traditional platforms used for activity-aware
 research, which typically involved bulky or inconvenient apparatus that
 was expensive to manufacture
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Schmidt2008"

\end_inset

 and made users very self-conscious.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
iPhone
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There have been several published works related to activity-recognition
 on the iPhone.
 The similarity between iPhone and Android platforms means that many of
 the concepts developed for or used on the iPhone are applicable to both.

 The application then records raw sensor data from the iPhone's three-axis
 accelerometer and 124 features computed from this data in real-time.
 The data is then stored on the device, annotated with the selected activity.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The training data collected by

 uses a Naïve Bayesian Network (NBN) to create a model which can be used
 to classify future input.
 The choice of NBNs was based on their ability to classify a set of trial
 data correctly, and the low computational cost of classifying data once
 the model has been generated.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Once the model has been created, it is transferred back to the device where
 it is used by 
\noun on

.
 This provides an API for other applications, and allows them to register
 for a callback which it publishes the user's current activity to every
 second.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Unfortunately, neither the source code nor the API are published.
 The inability to run background processes on the iPhone suggests that any
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

API
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 would have to be more like a framework where the third-party developer
 has to re-engineer their application to use the

 application as a base.
 This is undesirable as it makes it extremely difficult to adapt existing
 applications to use the activity-aware API, and is a very cumbersome way
 of providing what could be a very minor piece of functionality for the
 application.

.
 One of the major drawbacks highlighted is that the iPhone does not support
 applications which run in the background.
 This means that any application wishing to perform continuous real-time
 activity detection would need to run as a foreground process, preventing
 the user from using the device for any other function.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The research also shows that the computational compatibility of the iPhone
 is more than sufficient to perform the necessary calculations for a typical
 activity-recognising application, which suggests that any modern smart
 phone would be capable of these.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Android

\begin_layout Standard
While the Android platform is relatively new, it is rapidly gaining market
 share on the more established mobile operating systems.
 A December 2009 survey
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

 shows that 21% of respondents want their next smartphone purchase to run
 Android, a 350% increase from the same survey conducted three months prior.
 This is compared to the iPhone, which dropped 4% to 28% in the same time
 period.
 Gartner, a respected IT research firm, predicts that by 2012, Android will

In addition to its rapidly increasing popularity, the Android platform offers
 several advantages over the iPhone platform.
 Most notably is the ability to run background processes (called 
\noun on
services
\noun default
), which will allow a classifier application to run without interfering
 with the user's normal use of their mobile telephone.
 In addition, the Android OS provides access to the Bluetooth and GSM stacks,
 allowing for data from both to be used for activity detection.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The ability to run a background process will enable a proper API for sharing
 activity data with other applications, which will allow third-party developers
 to make their applications context-aware with relatively little work on
 their part.
 This is extremely desirable as it will allow rapid prototyping of applications,
 which will hopefully lead to innovative new uses of activity classification.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
While it is purported
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

 that there is research being done on bringing activity-awareness to Android
 platforms, there does not seem to be any work published on this matter
 or any applications available to support it.
 While there a small number of self-proclaimed 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

 applications for Android, this context is almost exclusively limited to
 geolocation.
 This project will therefore produce one of the first publicly available
 activity-aware applications for the Android platform.

, thanks to improvements in technology, and greater openness on the part
 of service providers and handset manufacturers.
 All modern smartphone platforms have a geolocation stack, usually backed
 by a GPS chipset and in most cases augmented with either a database of
 known cell tower locations, or a map of known wifi network identifiers
 and locations, or both.
 The two databases allow for rough geolocation when GPS is not available,
 or for greatly decreased lookup time when a GPS lock is available.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
However, while the geolocation stack is a rich source of data, it is a poor
 source of information.
 A latitude/longitude pair may describe the user's exact location, but a
 user would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the latitude/longitud
e of their home, place of work, or of somewhere in between the two with
 no real significance.
 A great deal of research has therefore been devoted to detecting meaningful
 locations from GPS traces.

Place recognition

 It then merges 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

 that appear to identify the same place being visited multiple times.
 The second phase uses these learned waypoints to recognise when the device
 is revisiting a place, and therefore also when the device is not visiting
 a previously known place (for example when it is moving between two)

 With older GPS chipsets, the satellite signal would be lost when the user
 entered a building, and this allowed an inference that the current location
 was probably a place of interest.
 However, modern GPS chipsets receive a signal in most indoor locations.
 It is possible that a decrease in signal strength or number of locked satellite
s may still occur, or that GSM signal strength could be used instead, but
 these ideas have not been widely explored at present.

 One application

 learns not only the user's frequently visited places, but the method of
 transport used between them and the typical routes taken.
 It can then offer instructions showing the user how to go from place to
 place, or issue alerts if the user appears to be going the wrong way (by
 getting on the wrong bus, for instance).
 The ability to correctly infer the user's destination would be extremely
 useful in a context-aware system: a user walking to do their grocery shopping
 is almost certainly going to want to interact with their phone differently
 than a user on a bus going to work.

The user's context depends on not only what they are doing, where they are

 Sitting and eating lunch with a manager is quite a different context to

One of the few ways that a mobile telephone can identify other people is
 by searching for

Power management

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One major consideration when deploying an application on a mobile device
 is the amount of power it will use.
 An application constantly polling any one sensor can reduce battery life
 significantly, and an application which kept all available sensors active
 (in addition to doing CPU-heavy analysis on them) would drain the battery
 in a typical smartphone in a matter of hours.
 A context-aware application is not very useful for a user if they can only
 use their telephone for an hour or two before it needs recharging!
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One solution
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Wang2009"

\end_inset

is to only use one or two sensors to monitor the user's activity until it
 appears to be transitioning.
 For example, if the user is believed to be walking, the application only
 needs to periodically check either the accelerometer (to confirm the user
 is still making walking motions) or GPS (to confirm the distance traveled
 is still consistent with walking) to know that their activity has not changed.
 As soon as the user's behaviour becomes inconsistent with walking, the
 application can bring other sensors online until it has successfully reclassifi
ed the activity, and then resume monitoring with minimal sensors.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Another option
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Wang2009"

\end_inset

 (which can be used in conjunction) is to only enable sensors for a short
 amount of time, and then sleep for a period before reactivating them.
 The 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

duty cycle
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 suggested for accelerometers is 6 second of sensing followed by 10 seconds
 of sleeping.
 The six second window is enough time to allow for capturing a full range
 of motion (several complete strides) if the user is walking or running,
 and then the ten second sleep stops the accelerometer using battery power
 until the next cycle.
 This process obviously means that a sudden switch in activity will not
 be noticed immediately, but a delay of a few seconds is acceptable as most
 activities will last for minutes or longer.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The battery life on modern smartphones rarely exceeds 24 hours of typical
 use, so it is extremely important that any applications developed for this
 project does not significantly reduce this.
 A balance between prompt detection and notification of activity changes
 and battery use by sensors and processing algorithms will need to be found.

Battery use

The average lifetime of a typical Android mobile telephone will need to

 needs to be quantified.

 should be made for use in the classifier application (section

\begin_layout Standard
As discussed in section 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

reference "sec:Location-analysis"

\end_inset

, existing algorithms to detect interesting places rely on GPS signals not
 being obtainable indoors, which is no longer true with current generation
 GPS chipsets.
 It may be possible to adapt these algorithms to work instead using the
 GSM signal strength or number of locked GPS satellites.
 The variance of these when inside and outside a building need to be investigate
d to determine if this is a feasible approach, or whether an alternate algorithm
 needs to be used.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A suitable algorithm should be implemented which allows the user's activity
 to be annotated with location-based context.
 This would ideally take the form of a source and destination for mobile
 activities, or location for static activities.
 The goal is to be able to differentiate between

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Interface
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The application should provide two different interfaces to retrieve the
 user's context.
 The first should be an implementation of the Android ContentProvider interface.
 This allows third party applications to query and retrieve data (in this
 case, the user's probable activities and context) as and when they need
 it.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The ContentProvider interface exposes data as a table.
 The classifier application should therefore supply a unique ID for each
 possible activity, the name of the activity (if labeled), the time the
 activity was started, and the estimated uncertainty in the classification.
 It should also expose relevant details of any context information, such
 as related places (s
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sub:Location-analysis"

\end_inset

) or other participants (s
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sub:Bluetooth-usage"

\end_inset

).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The second interface should use Android broadcast Intents to notify any
 interested application whenever the user's activity changes.
 This will allow applications to be notified whenever the activity or context
 of the user changes.
 The Intent should contain a URI which corresponds to an entry in the table
 returned by the ContentProvider, so applications can retrieve information
 about the user's activity directly.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Whenever activities, places or participants are exposed in the interface,
 they should be assigned an ID which remains consistent for the specified
 activity, place or participant.
 Applications can use this ID regardless of any annotations the user supplies.
 For example, the first time an interesting place is detected it may be
 assigned ID 42 and label 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

place42
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, the user may then annotate this place as 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

home
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, and some time later replace it with 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

old house
\begin_inset Quotes erd

; the ID will be consistent across all of these labels, so any application
 using this information will continue to function.

\begin_layout Standard
This will allow users to change their device settings based on their current

 These can be tested and evaluated in a variety of manners:
\end_layout

Unit tests
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Throughout the development of the project, unit tests should be created
 to test key functionality of all applications.
 It is expected that at the completion of the project, all unit tests should
 pass successfully, and they will have a code coverage of 80% or above.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
System tests
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The classifier application should also have a suite of system tests.
 These should consist of a set of fake or pre-recorded inputs which are
 fed into the application in place of raw sensor data.
 The output of the classifier (via the API) can then be compared to expected
 output for the data.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
User acceptance testing
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The Locale addon and context-aware home screen should be subject to user
 acceptance testing for evaluation.
 This should take the form of providing the applications to multiple end
 users, allowing them to use them for a period of time (providing instructions
 for certain tasks to complete).
 The users should then be presented with a questionnaire which they can
 use to evaluate the functionality, utility and design of the applications.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Android market
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In addition to providing the applications to a closed set of users, the
 applications should be published to the Android market.
 This will allow any owner of a compatible Android device to download and
 use the applications.
 The market also allows users to rate the application and leave comments,
 which will be an extremely useful method of evaluating the success of the
 applications.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As part of this, the classifier application/framework will be published,
 and should include instructions for developers detailing how they can make
 their applications context-aware.
 The interest expressed and number of applications which use it (if any)
 will be an indicator of the effectiveness of the API and its documentation.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Classification scope
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The classifier should be able to classify the following activities:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
running
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
standing
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
sitting
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
traveling in a vehicle
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
These should be evaluated by means of a leave-one-out cross-validation test,
 with data collected from one or more users and annotated by hand.
 It is expected that the classifier should correctly classify all activities
 with an accuracy of at least 70%, within 30 seconds of the activity being
 started.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Resource usage
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Finally, the applications should be evaluated based on their resource usage.
 One of the main concerns will be battery usage (caused both by the application
 using processor time, and activating sensors), but attention must also
 be paid to memory consumption (especially after extended use).
 The goal should be to ensure that the resource usage of the applications
 in this project do not adversely impact the functionality of the device;
 that is, battery life should not be reduced so significantly that it requires
 users to change their normal charging behaviour, and memory usage should
 not be so high as to cause other applications to become sluggish or be
 closed by the operating system.
