Abstract

Contort-aware computing technology is one of the key technology of ubiquitous computing in the mobile device environment. Context recognition computing enables computer applications that automatically respond to user's everyday activity to be realized. In this paper, We use accelerometer could sense activity states of the object and apply to mobile devices. This method for estimating human motion states utilizes various statistics of accelerometer data, such as mean, standard variation, and skewness, as features for classification, and is expected to be more effective than other existing methods that rely on only a few simple statistics. Classification algorithm uses simple decision tree instead of existing neural network by considering mobile devices with limited resources. A series of experiments for testing the effectiveness of the our context detection system for mobile applications and ubiquitous computing has been performed, and its result is presented.

모바일 단말 환경에서 상황인식 컴퓨팅 기술은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 핵심기술 중 하나이다. 상황인식 컴퓨팅은 사용자의 일상생활 활동에 능동적으로 반응하는 컴퓨터 응용들을 실현 가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 물체나 인간의 물리적인 활동 상태를 감지할 수 있는 가속도센서를 사용하여 모바일 디바이스에 적용한다. 인간의 활동 상태를 추정하기위한 방법은 평균, 표준 편차, 왜도와 같은 다양한 통계치를 분류를 위한 특징으로 활용하는 것이 몇몇 간단한 통계치만을 의존하는 기존의 방법들 보다 더 효과적일 것이다. 분류 알고리듬은 제한된 리소스를 가진 모바일 디바이스를 고려하여 기존의 신경망 대신 간단한 결정 트리를 이용하고자 한다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅과 모바일 응용들을 위한 우리의 상황 검출 시스템의 실험은 기존의 방법들 보다 성능이 향상되었으며 그 결과를 제시한다.
