Hi Gabor,
Thank you very much for the very informative power point slides. I'm considering creating an app actually using phone gap that senses when a user is in a traveling vehicle vs. walking/ exhibiting little motion (i.e. still).
I figured,because the following pattern seems to be true, I could use this as a basis for the discrimination:
- the instantaneous accelerations over a brief but not incredibly brief (like that that would be exhibited by a shake) would be much greater than those of a person in motion outside of a vehicle (eg. walking) [perhaps i have some of the logic of this wrong]
- moreover, its always matched by an equal integration of the deceleration... (but also maybe my math is wrong).
I was wondering if you think it would be possible to use phonegap to create a really basic app like this. I recognize your presentation was about the inapplicability of phonegap for applications requiring sensor usage like this :P, but I'm just curious if it is even possible to get some kind of reliable data from the accelerometer that would indicate travel in a vehicle vs. travel by foot/no motion.
Thanks!
Anonymous, there are two issues here:
- A moving vehicle generates relatively small acceleration. Simple human movements generate more which means that it is very hard to extract the acceleration caused by the vehicle from the noise.
- You can't really implement a background service in PhoneGap.
