Smartphone sensors can be extremely useful in providing information on the activities and behaviors of persons. Human activity recognition is increasingly used for games, medical, or surveillance. In this paper, we propose a proof-of-concept 2D endless game called Duck Catch & Fit, which implements a detailed activity recognition system that uses a smartphone accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer sensors. The system applies feature extraction and learning mechanism to detect human activities like staying, side movements, and fake side movements. In addition, a voice recognition system is combined to recognize the word "fire" and raise the game's complexity. The results show that it is possible to use machine learning techniques to recognize human activity with high recognition levels. Also, the combination of movement-based and voice-based integrations contributes to a more immersive gameplay.

With the increasing number of mobile Apps developed, they are now closely integrated into daily life. In this paper, we develop a framework to predict mobile Apps that are most likely to be used regarding the current device status of a smartphone. Such an Apps usage prediction framework is a crucial prerequisite for fast App launching, intelligent user experience, and power management of smartphones. By analyzing real App usage log data, we discover two kinds of features: The Explicit Feature (EF) from sensing readings of built-in sensors, and the Implicit Feature (IF) from App usage relations…

Deep Learning (DL) has shown impressive performance in many mobile applications. Most existing works have focused on reducing the computational and resource overheads of running Deep Neural Networks (DNN) inference on resource-constrained mobile devices. However, the other aspect of DNN operations, i.e. training (forward and backward passes) on smartphone GPUs, has received little attention thus far. To this end, we conduct an initial analysis to examine the feasibility of on-device training on smartphones using mobile GPUs. We first employ the open-source mobile DL framework (MNN) and its Ope…
Context-awareness in smart mobile applications is a growing area of study, because of it's intelligence in the applications. In order to build context-aware intelligent applications, mining contextual behavioral rules of individual smartphone users utilizing their phone log data is the key. However, to mine these rules, a number of issues, such as the quality of smartphone data, understanding the relevancy of contexts, discretization of continuous contextual data, discovery of useful behavioral rules of individuals and their ordering, knowledge-based interactive post-mining for semantic unders…
Video super-resolution has recently become one of the most important mobile-related problems due to the rise of video communication and streaming services.

Walking is one of the most common modes of terrestrial locomotion for humans. Walking is essential for humans to perform most kinds of daily activities. When a person walks, there is a pattern in it, and it is known as gait. Gait analysis is used in sports and healthcare. We can analyze this gait in different ways, like using video captured by the surveillance cameras or depth image cameras in the lab environment. It also can be recognized by wearable sensors. e.g., accelerometer, force sensors, gyroscope, flexible goniometer, magneto resistive sensors, electromagnetic tracking system, force s…

With the rapid emergence of a spectrum of high-end mobile devices, many applications that required desktop-level computation capability formerly can now run on these devices without any problem. However, without a careful optimization, executing Deep Neural Networks (a key building block of the real-time video stream processing that is the foundation of many popular applications) is still challenging, specifically, if an extremely low latency or high accuracy inference is needed. This work presents CADNN, a programming framework to efficiently execute DNN on mobile devices with the help of adv…

Mobile context determination is an important step for many context aware services such as location-based services, enterprise policy enforcement, building or room occupancy detection for power or HVAC operation, etc. Especially in enterprise scenarios where policies (e.g., attending a confidential meeting only when the user is in "Location X") are defined based on mobile context, it is paramount to verify the accuracy of the mobile context. To this end, two stochastic models based on the theory of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to obtain mobile context are proposed-personalized model (HPContext) …
