Context Recognition

Context recognition using wearable devices is a mature research area, but one of the biggest issues it faces is the high energy consumption of the device that is sensing and processing the data. In this work we propose three different methods for optimizing its energy use. We also show how to combine all three methods to further increase the energy savings. The methods work by adapting system settings (sensors used, sampling frequency, duty cycling, etc.) to both the detected context and directly to the sensor data. This is done by mathematically modeling the influence of different system settings and using multiobjective optimization to find the best ones. The proposed methodology is tested on four different context-recognition tasks where we show that it can generate accurate energy-efficient solutions—in one case reducing energy consumption by 95% in exchange for only four percentage points of accuracy. We also show that the method is general, requires next to no expert knowledge about the domain being optimized, and that it outperforms two approaches from the related work.
