Motivation • Text messaging: • “Where R U?” • “What R U doing?” • Mobile phones are virtually always ON and with us • Sensors in mobile phone: GPS, accelerometers, microphone, camera … etc • Data collection through sensors
Introduction of CenceMe • People-centric sensing application • Implementation on Nokia N95; Symbian/JME VM platform • Share user presence information (Facebook)
Contributions • Design, implementation and evaluation • Lightweight classifier • Trade-off: time fidelity v.s. latency • Complete User study
Mobile Phone limitations • OS Limitations • API and Operational Limitations • Security Limitations • Energy Management Limitations
Architecture Design Issues • Split-Level Classification (primitives, facts) • Customized tag • Resiliency • Minimize bandwidth usage/energy • Privacy/data integrity • Power Aware Duty-Cycle (~6 hours)
CenceMe Implementation Operations (Phone): • Sensing • Classification to produce primitives • Presentation of people's presence on the phone • Upload of primitives to backend servers Classifications (Backend Server): • classifying the nature of the sound collected from the microphone • classifying the accelerometer data to determine activity (sitting, standing, walking, running) • scanned Bluetooth/MAC addresses in range • GPS readings • random photos (!!!)
Phone classifiers (1/2) • Audio • Feature extraction • Classification
Phone classifiers (2/2) • Activity
Backend Classifier • Conversation • Social Context • Neighborhood conditions • Social Status • Mobility Mode Detector • Location • “Am I Hot” • Nerdy, party animal, cultured, healthy, greeny
System Performance • Classifier accuracy • Impact of mobile phone placement on body • 8 users • Annotations as ground truth for comparison with classifier outputs • Environmental conditions • Sensing duty cycles
Phone placement on body • Pocket, lanyard, clipped to belt • Insignificant impact conversation v.s. Non-conversation
Environmental impact • Independent of activity classification • More important: transition between locations
Duty Cycle (1/2) • Problem detecting short term event • Experiment: 8 people. Reprogram different duty cycles.
Power Benchmarks • Measuring battery voltage, current, temperature • Battery lifetime: 6.22+/- 0.59 hours
User Study • Survey user experience • Feedback: • Positive from all users • Willing to share detail status and presence information on Facebook • Privacy not an issue • Stimulate curiosity among users • Self-learning on activity patterns and social status
Rooms for improvement • Battery life to up to 48 hours • Finer grained privacy policy settings. • Shorter classification time
Conclusion • A complete design, implementation and evaluation • First application to retrieve and publish sensing presence • A complete user study and feedback for future improvement
