Your mobile phone as an intelligent sensing machine

Reality mining is becoming a big trend! Companies must be aware of that! Some great examples of reality mining are SoundSense and CenceMe! Your mobile phone as an intelligent piece of technology!

Some clever people from the Dartmouth College (Hanover) created software that uses the microphone of a cell phone to track and interpret a user's activity. Sounds great? Well it is. The software is called SoundSense and the software is also able to select the sounds and put them in different categories. If a sound is to difficult to analyze SoundSense asks the user to confirm a sound in a specific category and offers the option to label the sound by hand.
