Zusammenfassung: | The recent improvements in smartphones nowadays offer a widespread application of sensor-based services. Each mobile phone is equipped with several sensors like a GPS module, a gyroscope, or a high-resolution camera. As a result of this sensor integration, a whole new way of usage is opened up for the end-user, like a location-based search or people-centric sensing. The main drawback related to a smartphone is an overall high energy consumption, combined with a limited energy capacity. Due to this fact, a continuous and fine grained sensing of the user's context is not possible, as it utilizes at least one acceleration sensor. Furthermore, the captured data is transmitted via a (mobile) communication infrastructure to post the context on the Internet. Both drain the battery very quickly. For that reason, an efficient energy-constrained distribution is required to minimize the update occurrence of a producer, while simultaneously maximizing the accuracy of a consumer. The primary issues to be addressed include a modeling of user behavior as well as a determination of optimal points in time for an update. Therefore, a probabilistic approach is used to forecast the user's context pattern. The prediction is based upon a Markov chain and enables the extraction of meaningful information. The proper times for an update are determined with the help of a constrained optimization problem. Different methods from mathematical optimization are applied like linear and nonlinear programming or a constrained Markov decision process, which obtain an update policy. For a better comparison of the weaknesses and strengths related to the developed methods, dynamic programming is used to achieve the optimal points in time for an update. The evaluation upon a real trace shows that an accuracy gain of more than 30% is achieved by sending the equal amount of messages. |
