Abstract

Performance of smart phones has increased to conduct simple PC functions that has become essential to modern people. With the development of smart phones, not only limited inner sensors but various sensors can be connected through USB. However, there is problem that app needs to downloaded when using each sensor. In this paper, a smart phone unified app structure for USB sensor Plug&Play is presented. The structure was designed to download web pages to use various sensors in one app. Unified app communicated with the platform through ADK accessory protocol and implements structure of delivering sensor ID to the web server and downloading device driver, web page. By measurement test, it was confirmed that download time of web page in unified app was 10 times faster than original download time of original app. By managing various sensors by one app, the app is searched every time the sensor changes in which there is no need for downloading several apps.
