The Internet of Things (IoT) for agriculture is a rapidly emerging technology where seamless connected sensors device make it possible to monitor and control crop parameters to get quality and quantity of food. This research proposes a new dynamic clustering and data gathering scheme for harnessing the IoT in agriculture. In this paper, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is used to locate and assist...
With the rapid development of the business and the continuous improvement of the level in SGCC, the security research in the mobile field has been paid more and more attention. Although mobile work terminals can improve the efficiency of field operations, but a large number of mobile terminal access, leading to the terminal management difficult to increase, security has been greatly challenged. Therefore,...
With the development of cultural level, the traditional tourism has not meet the needs of the development of the people. The development of traditional tourist scenic areas has been affected by the technology and the cloud computing, so we need continuous innovation and development, it can bring the new experience of the tourist. In this paper, from the angle of tourist, scenic, government, we will...
The number of elderly people over 60-year old is expected to reach 2 billion by 2050. With age people experience cognitive decline. While exercises are known to help, one of the age-associated issues is non-adherence. With the increasing adoption of technology by elderly, mobile devices become a good channel to deliver a persuasive solution. In this paper, we discuss the design and evaluation of Adherence...
Mobile service and wearable devices have become a new hotspot in recent year. People also pay more attention to the problem of e-health. Cardiovascular disease is a kind of serious disease that jeopardizes the health and life of human beings which has been widespread concern by academic and practice researchers. But the automated monitoring and prevention of heart disease, cardiovascular disease and...
A wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) with ECG android monitor is presented that is capable of monitoring and displaying the ECG waveform and Heart Rate of an individual in real-time. The system uses the Wi-Fi 802.11 standard for wireless transmission of the data to an Android based mobile phone. The developed android smart-phone application displays the ECG information as well as the heart rate and...
It is shown that the excessive inhalation of PM (Particulate Matter) 2.5 will seriously affect the health of human. Many countries have deployed various detectors for air pollution in order to report concentration of PM2.5 to show how much seriousness of air pollution is. But, what more important is how much PM 2.5 has been inhaled by people anytime and anywhere. Therefore, in this paper, we propose...
500kV substation on duty gradually tends to be unmanned with the development of smart grids, the mobile robot that used in substation equipment inspection emerge as the times require. Substation inspection robot system, which is described in this paper, can replace a fixed video monitoring, complete video remote transmission of information, equipment control, accident treatment and coordinated transport...
Air pollution is an important issue due to its direct impact on human health. To cope with this problem, in urban areas a “monitor and react” approach, based on measurements provided use of static monitoring stations, is commonly adopted introducing constrains to the amount of areas that can be monitored within the city. With the rise of the Internet of Things paradigm, new air monitoring models based...
Cancer related fatigue is a chronic disease that may persist up to 10 years after treatment of cancer has been finished successfully and is one of the most prevalent problems of cancer survivors. Cancer related fatigue is a complex symptom that is not sufficiently understood and difficult to remedy. Patients do not necessarily follow a treatment plan with regular in-office follow-ups. As a consequence,...
Understanding and predicting cellular traffic at large-scale and fine-granularity is beneficial and valuable to mobile users, wireless carriers and city authorities. Predicting cellular traffic in modern metropolis is particularly challenging because of the tremendous temporal and spatial dynamics introduced by diverse user Internet behaviours and frequent user mobility citywide. In this paper, we...
A frequent concern among students and teachers working with educational robotics is about the results gathered through practical activities. Currently, educational institutions and robotics competitions lack of mechanisms that can evaluate the robot's behavior during the accomplishment of the proposed challenges. In this work, we propose the development of a technological solution using Computational...
High data quality and low sensing cost are two primary goals in large-scale mobile crowdsensing applications. The oversampling and the undersampling are common problems which always result in a high cost or low data quality that can not satisfy the system requirement. To address this problem, taking into account low-rank latent structure, we propose a compressive and adaptive data sampling scheme...
This work proposes the design and evaluation of a wearable mobile ear-based electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system using highly electrically conductive material — graphene — enabled electrodes. Prolonged physiological monitoring is important in diagnosis, monitoring chronic diseases, and improving training regimes. Current technologies for monitoring ECGs alone are acceptable to clinicians or professionals,...
Companies commonly establish and pursue business goals for different purposes. Many purposes, such as to understand, improve, compare, monitor and control, among others, may be driven by measurement, evaluation and analysis activities. Different strategies can be used to help achieving goal purposes. A strategy defines a set of activities and methods related to nonfunctional requirements, measurement,...
We are interested in this work to the design and more particularly the achievement of a passive and inexpensive microwave RFID sensor. This will be allowing us to control and to monitor the quality of the engine oil of a mobile. The sensor consists of a dipole placed inside the oil sump of the mobile. Knowing the variation of the relative permittivity of the engine oil, as a function of the distance...
Mobile Broadband (MBB) Networks are evolving at a fast pace, with technology enhancements that promise drastic improvements in capacity, connectivity, coverage, i.e., better performance in general. But how to measure the actual performance of a MBB solution? In this paper, we present our experience in running the simplest of the performance test: "speedtest-like" measurements to estimate...
This paper identifies that the anycast communication pattern is needed in the Machine Type Communications (MTC), where there could be multiple MTC devices being deployed in the same area for the same type of data, the client only cares about the data being retrieved but not where the data comes from. Currently the MTC server can provide such anycast service, but with large signaling overhead and bandwidth...
We are studying a new technology for digital exhibition of Japanese classical writing and drawing works. We developed two type of contents based on AR technology. 1. show Honkoku text corresponding to a part of the image a camera held on. 2. show other famous drawings of the Shukuba a camera faced on, and also other links to interesting web sites related with the Shukuba. We report and show demos...
This paper researches and analyzes the current situation of the application of mobile medical services in chronic disease monitoring and management. With chronic diseases and mobile medical development trend in China, we propose a monitoring and management system for the physical sign of elderly patients with chronic diseases. By using the system, patient can monitor and upload the physical sign data,...
