1. Ambulation : a tool for monitoring mobility over time using mobile phones Computational Science and Engineering, 2009. CSE '09. International Conference Jason Ryder et al.

2. Introduction Health monitoring systems –Cost-prohibitive and complicated –  Less expensive and simpler alternative –By using mobile phone, infer user’s activity –Logged data is uploaded to server –User is able to login to web server and view data Reduce energy usage –Intelligent use of GPS 1

3. Related Works : Monitoring the health of patients at home Attentive Care –Video observation that help care giver to care the care receiver –Does not track the user’s motion automatically Quiet Care –Deploy motion sensors around the care receiver’s home –Analyze changes in the amount of daily walking –Requires specialized sensors and base station –Does not work if the patient moves away from the sensor WellAWARE –Similar to Quiet care, but use several kinds of sensors –Capture more type of data –Requires specialized sensors and base station 2

5. Classification Mobile Sensing Client –Record acceleration and speed information –Run classifier Indoor Classifier –Collect accelerometer data –Use decision tree –It can detect stationary, walking, running state Outdoor Classifier –Collect accelerometer and GPS data –It can detect still, walking, running, biking, or driving 4 Mobile Sensing Client

6. GPS Power Optimization 5 Mobile Sensing Client

7. GPS Power Optimization Test data : –100 trips,116hours,25days, 80 hours stationary, 36 hours moving –Recorded in urban and suburban –Involved walking and freeway driving Energy saving depend on how mobile the user is Battery lifetime –6.3 hours  9 hours (in typical scenario), 43% gain 6 Mobile Sensing Client

8. Data Upload Power Optimization Naïve approach –User activate and deactivate upload manually –User may forget to en/dis-able Potentially long data upload delays Quickly depleted battery Approach in this study –Upload data upon application start up –Upload only when plugged into an external power source 7 Mobile Sensing Client
