The document discusses Sense, a software platform that uses sensors and networked intelligence to improve human communication and coordination through situational awareness. It does this by collecting data from various sensors like those in smartphones, sensor nodes, and other IoT devices; analyzing the sensor data; and sharing useful information with other connected platforms and devices. Some key applications mentioned are determining a user's reachability, location, and activities using sensors to better communicate and coordinate with others.

Sense Intro
- 1. Sensors are everywhere Steven Mulder [email_address]
- 2. Mission statement Modern smartphones Many sensors
- 4. Easily available Other sensors/actuators Even more sensing options
- 5. Customized for specific purposes Networked intelligence Smart combining of sensor data
- 6. Smart sharing of useful information
- 7. Don't depend on having 1 perfect sensor Sense aims to improve human communication and coordination by achieving situational awareness through:
- 8. Smartphone and sensor node Microphone Camera Accelerometer Light sensor Touch sensor Battery level Bluetooth Wi-Fi GPRS UMTS GSM GPS Speaker Vibration Display USB Calendar data Communication records Human sources Orientation Proximity Internet sources Accelerometer Temperature Light Infrared (movement) Bluetooth * MyriaNed Serial port Orientation CO 2 Indoor location Sensors Actuators Connectivity Virtual Sensors
- 9. Three Steps in Situational Awareness Status observation and prediction Reachability of the user
- 10. Location of the user
- 11. Activities (in general) of the user
- 12. Properties of the environment Networked intelligence Share sensor data with other devices
- 13. Combine multi-modal sensor signals for richer data Smart interaction Don't just observe what is happening!
- 14. Share information with other people when this is useful
- 15. Support and coordinate human communication and transactions
- 16. Sense software suite Local network Mesh network with gossip protocol
- 17. Linked to external world via smartphones
- 18. Does sensing and actuation
- 20. Interacts with other platforms (e.g. ASK or Regas) Remote host, “CommonSense” Cloud intelligence
- 21. Remembers, combines, analyzes sensor data
- 22. Also interacts with other platforms (e.g. ASK) Sense delivers a development platform consisting of two parts: Local applications CommonSense Other platforms
- 23. Advantages Do more things with more intelligence no more manual logging: automatically register what is happening
- 24. immediately notice abnormal behavior
- 25. minimize coordination problems between links
- 26. real-time information means better planning possibilities Ease of use of wireless sensor networks virtually no infrastructure costs
- 27. up and running within hours
- 28. reliable against breakdowns of individual devices Open architecture no proprietary black boxes
- 29. works with pre-existing infrastructure
- 31. Current situation Working on pilot projects: Building management system
- 32. Location-based time registration (Regas)
- 33. Sharing reachability status via webservice (ASK)
- 34. Indoor localization Looking for more!
- 35. Example 1: Reachability Key issue in emergency response
- 36. Observe and predict if / when a user can be reached.
- 37. Automatically pick the right communication channels. Already in a call, arrange callback? Too noisy to talk, send SMS? Not near phone, call a friend?
- 38. Example 2: Location Observe and predict where the user is.
- 40. Calendar
- 42. GSM cell towers
- 43. Known Wi-Fi access points
- 44. Other users Bringing the kids to school, back in 20 minutes. In traffic, will be 30 minutes late for the meeting. Having a walk in the park, everything is fine.
- 45. Example 3: Activities Recognize activities of the user and learn which ones are relevant.
- 46. Check with user or other devices for feedback. Having a 10 minute rest stop Attending G20 summit with Barack and Angela Measuring a patient's blood pressure
- 47. Example 4: Networked intelligence Use the network of sensors that exists around us
- 48. Share sensor data with neighboring devices
- 49. Combine multi-modal sensor signals Does anyone know where we are? No problem! I have GPS. I think I heard something fall. I just hit some- thing hard! I could call the neighbours... Something just moved. I heard breaking glass! The light was switched on. Something is moving.
- 50. Example 5: Smart interaction Act upon the knowledge about the user and his environment
- 51. Help the user in smart ways Hello, I am here for a meeting with Mr. Lee That's my guy! I'll send you his business card. You just bought toma- toes, pasta, chips... OK, I will scratch those off the grocery list and notify Mrs. Carrot. Careful! You are moving away from the nearest CPR-person.
