This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The paper describes basic principles of a radio-based indoor localization and focuses on the improvement of its results with theaid of a new Bluetooth Low Energy technology. The advantage of this technology lies in its support by contemporary mobile devices, especially by smartphones and tablets. We have implemented a distributed system for collecting radio fingerprints by mobile devices with the Android operating system. This system enables volunteers to create radio-maps and update them continuously. New Bluetooth Low Energy transmitters (Apple uses its “iBeacon” brand name for these devices) have been installed on the floor of the building in addition to existing WiFi access points. The localization of stationary objects based on WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy, and their combination has been evaluated using the data measured during the experiment in the building. Several configurations of the transmitters’ arrangement, several ways of combination of the data from both technologies, and other parameters influencing the accuracy of the stationary localization have been tested.

    Rolando Ojeda Montiel Interacting with Physical World in E-Commerce Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Information Technology Thesis 20/05/2017 Author(s) Rolando Ojeda Montiel Title Interacting with Physical World in E-Commerce 31 pages Number of Pages 20 May 2017 Date Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Information Technology Specialisation option Software Engineering Instructor(s) Anssi Ikonen, Senior Lecturer The main goal of this final project is to conceptualise the interaction with the physical world with e-commerce. The aim is to build a digital service using different technologies and to prove how simple and easy it can be to collect data from a user for commercial proposes. Since the Internet of Things is among us, collecting data from a person has become com- monplace. The question is, how can we get better and trustable data? After considering many technologies, the service was built using Android, Firebase backend/Database, and Wordpress. The service tracks beacons using Bluetooth and location, saving user’s data to analyse their behaviour in a shop and what the possible interests are. In this way, companies can target specific offers to their customers. The service is now fully operational and it is a Proof of concept with a very simple UI, in both mobile side and web shop side.

  • Data-Driven Context Detection Leveraging Passively- Sensed
    Data-Driven Context Detection Leveraging Passively- Sensed Nearables for Recognizing Complex Activities of Daily Living Ali Akbari Department of Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA, [email protected] Reese Grimsley Department of Electrical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, [email protected] Roozbeh Jafari Department of Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA, [email protected] ABSTRACT Wearable systems have unlocked new sensing paradigms in various applications such as human activity recognition, which can enhance effectiveness of mobile health applications. Current systems using wearables are not capable of understanding their surroundings, which limits their sensing capabilities. For instance, distinguishing certain activities such as attending a meeting or class, which have similar motion patterns but happen in different contexts, is challenging by merely using wearable motion sensors. This paper focuses on understanding user’s surroundings, i.e., environmental context, to enhance capability of wearables, with focus on detecting complex activities of daily living (ADL). We develop a methodology to automatically detect the context using passively observable information broadcasted by devices in users’ locale. This system does not require specific infrastructure or additional hardware. We develop a pattern extraction algorithm and probabilistic mapping between the context and activities to reduce the set of probable outcomes. The proposed system contains a general ADL classifier working with motion sensors, learns personalized context, and uses that to reduce the search space of activities to those that occur within a certain context. We collected real-world data of complex ADLs and by narrowing the search space with context, we improve average F1-score from 0.72 to 0.80.

  • Using Bluetooth Beacons in a Museum an Exploratory Study with Proximity-Based Technology
    Using Bluetooth beacons in a museum An exploratory study with proximity-based technology Jon-Robert Skårberg and Kjetil Sletten Master’s Thesis Spring 2016 Abstract The goal of this master thesis is to discover how Bluetooth beacons affect user experience in a museum setting, specifically for museum visitors and staff. Two applications were developed; one of which was highly automatic and required an active screen to work, and one that was less automatic and worked when the phone was inactive. A high degree of automation was found not to be desirable, as users express a greater loss of control. This can be somewhat remedied by good feedback, but the highest degree of automation should not always be the goal, even though users express that they like the application doing a lot of the work for them. An applic- ation that requires users to use it at all times intensifies the feeling users already have of being in a ‘bubble’, which leads to a sense of isolation. An application using beacons should thus work as a supplement and not as the main source of information. Keywords: beacons, Bluetooth, proximity based technology, mental models, feedback, context, context awareness, ubiquitous computing, museum iii Acknowledgements We first started the work on this thesis in the fall of 2014, with a few brainstorming sessions and an initial meeting with our supervisor, Jo Herstad at the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo. The project has taken many twists and turns since then, but thanks to the continual support and feedback from Jo, we have always moved forward towards the eventual final product.

I developed a system of three applications to accomplish these goals: one for museum staff to easily deploy and update beacons, another for visitors to engage with the supplemental material transmitted by beacons at various exhibits, and a third for museum staff to understand visitors’ interactions and feedback provided by the beacons.
