This paper presents first results of a project aiming to provide the requirements for enabling elderly people to stay longer in their flats or houses before moving to senior citizen's residences or nursing homes. Using market available devices an Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) system is developed for recording vital sign data. A minimal invasive radio transmission system and smart home sensors are...
Fair allocation of collaboration benefits of business models based on machine-to-machine (M2M) applications may be performed by using methods of cooperative game theory. A value oriented method (Shapley method) will be applied on an agricultural scenario representing the M2M information supply chain of the harvesting process. Two manufacturers of harvesting machines and a portal provider collaborate...
Dead Reckoning has successfully been used as a navigational method in the maritime field for positioning between two fixed locations. This approach can be also implemented for smartphones using acceleration sensor and magnetic field sensor. The reliability of the compass values obtained is important in order to calculate the new position. Different tests of accuracy of compass readings of two different...
The implementation of a reliable indoor localization system can be the starting point for a variety of much desired applications. Either we want to implement a solution for efficient patient monitoring inside a hospital or an automatic guide inside a museum, a working localization solution is needed. Smartphone technology provides us with a powerful and user friendly tool in order to achieve adequate...
Machine-to-machine communication (M2M) is one of the major innovations in ICT sector. Especially in agricultural business with heterogeneous machinery, diverse process partners and high machine operating costs, M2M offers large potential in process optimization. Within this paper a concept for process optimization in agricultural business using M2M technologies is presented. Within that concept standardization...
This paper presents positioning algorithms for WLAN environments based on RSSI-fingerprinting and Euclidean Distance (EDA). The adapted algorithms can be used in large and dynamically changing environments and multi-level buildings. Evaluation results show a median location estimation error (MLEE) of 2.12m. The discrete third spatial direction (floor level) was correctly estimated in 99% of cases...
