青年学者学术报告 《inventing new sensing modalities on commodity smartphones》-j9登录网址

南京大学计算机软件新技术国家重点实验室

摘 要：

being equipped with a large variety of sensors, modern smartphones have strong capabilities in monitoring their surroundings and adapting to the environmental changes. in this talk, we will demonstrate how the existing sensors on commodity smartphones could be used to invent new sensing modalities with specialized signal processing and pattern recognition techniques. first, we will show how a single digital magnetometer on smartphone could be utilized to passively eavesdrop the handwriting of a nearby stylus pen with an internal magnet, and the accuracy of such eavesdropping could be up to 90% over a distance of 20cm. furthermore, we will show that the commodity smartphone’s speaker and microphone could be turned into an active sonar system, which allows many smart healthcare applications such as precise evaluation of human lung function. we will also share our experiences in tackling with the unexpected environmental dynamics and human factors, when developing these sensing methods.
