opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin wireless sensor networks Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are currently an interesting research area The term sensor describes a battery driven small electronic system with wireless communication capabilities and the sensoric part (e.g. temperature, light, and many others) WSN consists out of many, sometime even thousands of sensors

opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin wsn and mobile phones One problem o WSN is the interface to users No display due to battery constraints and sometimes it just do not make sense to have displays. Information is gathered by multiple sensors so which sensor to look at Therefore, the optimal sink of information is the mobile phone for most WSN applications

opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin wsn and mobile phones The convergence of mobile phones and wireless sensor networks has already started Integrated sensoric parts in mobile phones (accelerator, temperature, light, etc) External sensors connected to mobile phones

opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin wsn and mobile phones External sensors –Jogging equipment for iPod from Nike –External sensor placed in the shoe –Step counter conveys information to the iPod

opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin wsn and mobile phones Integrated sensors –E.g. jogging equipment from Nokia –Accelerator can be used for other applications as well such as gaming –Limited number of sensors

opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin integrated sensors New applications for integrated sensors in mobile phones –Derive overall traffic flow for a whole city by partial measurements of some phones (e.g. N95 with GPS) –Weather information by retrieval of temperature of some phones.

opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin motivation opensensor Integrated sensors are available with some phones already  no problem External sensors are available too but not optimized for the communication with the mobile phone and way to expensive. Use open community to develop and improve the idea of opensensor.

opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin motivation opensensor The main motivation to build the opensensor is to have a wireless sensor board with the following characteristica: –Low cost and easy to build/extend –Get the basic understanding of DSPs and their programming –Build solid teaching material –Not just WSN but convergence with mobile phones

opensensor - information materialAalborg University, Mobile Device Group Fitzek/Rein/Grauballe/Perrucci/KroegerAalborg University and Technical University of Berlin motivation opensensor Furthermore the opensensor should be available for all researcher around the world –Hardware: The plans to build the opensensor are freely available –Software: Basic functionality is offered already and maintain in the future –Teaching: All slides are available, so that it should be easy to integrated it into existing lectures or to build course from scratch
