Abstract :
Context-aware applications have been the focus of extensive research yet their implementation in mobile devices usually becomes challenging due to restrictions in regards to processing power and energy. In this paper, we propose a mobile platform to provide real-time human activity recognition. Our system features (1) an efficient library, MECLA, for the mobile evaluation of classification algorithms; and (2) a mobile application for real-time human activity recognition running within a Body Area Network. The evaluation indicates that the system can be implemented in real scenarios meeting accuracy, response time, and energy consumption requirements.
