Abstract

As smartphone users have been increased, studies using mobile sensors on smartphone have been investigated in recent years. Activity recognition is one of the active research topics, which can be used for providing users the adaptive services with mobile devices. In this paper, an activity recognition system on a smartphone is proposed where the uncertain time-series acceleration signal is analyzed by using hierarchical hidden Markov models. In order to address the limitations on the memory storage and computational power of the mobile devices, the recognition models are designed hierarchy as actions and activities. We implemented the real-time activity recognition application on a smartphone with the Google android platform, and conducted experiments as well. Experimental results showed the feasibility of the proposed method.
