Jigsaw
A smart phone named Jigsaw same practice can monitor all movements of the user. This application works by monitoring the user’s mobile phone microphone, GPS, and accelerometer for character patterns from routine activities of the user. These applications also can be set to send the monitoring results to the social networking site.
‘Application Jigsaw can tell how busy a user, produce records that can be used for doctor or physical trainer. Pattern recognition algorithms in this application can identify a broader behavior, making it able to monitor the behavior of a more detailed comparison with similar applications, “said Hong Lu at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, who developed the application with collaboration with Nokia Research Centre in Palo Alto, California. Similarly, as quoted by New Scientist.
For example, the monitoring of applications Jigsaw generated when the user is running depends on whether the phone was in the pants or jacket pocket, finished in the application software can recognize the two patterns. Information from other sensors to help confirm user activity further.
The more active users, the fewer applications Jigsaw work. ‘The use of Jigsaw applications can for 12 hours from the use of cell phone batteries. So user can monitor activity from morning until night with only one phone charging. Without smart power management, the use of this application can drain the phone battery in just over 6 hours, ‘said Lu.
Jigsaw does not send raw data to the server so the data can be stored in phone memory. Lu this month to present this application at the ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems in Zurich, Switzerland, said that this was done in response to privacy issues when the content is very sensitive. Applications Jigsaw, which is scheduled to be launched next year, can be operated on the iPhone and Nokia smart phones.
