This paper presents an alternative response to the understanding of the practices of procurement and usage of wild food, and the way that one might technologically intervene within these group practices in order to support an environmentally aware approach to such activities. The initial findings of this study not only suggest that there are multiple points where technological intervention is possible, but also demonstrate both the complexity and range of technological possibilities in regard to the act of foraging, the culture of wild food and biodiversity.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"206 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122315293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there exist challenges that should be tackled before the successful acceptance of such systems by the masses. In this paper, we particularly focus on the challenges arising from the differences in user behavior and in the hardware. To investigate the impact of these factors on the recognition accuracy, we performed tests with 20 different users focusing on the recognition of basic locomotion activities using the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetic field sensors. We investigated the effect of feature types, to represent the raw data, and the use of linear acceleration for user, device and orientation-independent activity recognition.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126618502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, initial attempts of lifelogging services have been proposed, capturing what I see, hear, meet, and visit. These empirical and environmental contexts, surrounding contexts, may help a user reminisce about the past. On the other hand, we focus on an important key feature of lifelogging which has been unexplored so far, i.e., appearance context. The appearance context is about one's facial expression, body image, gaze, posture, gesture, etc. Appearance monitoring in a fine-grained and momentary manner enables total recall of a user, i.e., not only what the user perceives but also how the user is perceived by others. In this poster, we propose FaceLog, a face logging service which automatically and opportunistically captures user's everyday face.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114161613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, due to the complex wireless propagation in indoor environments, WiFi-based device-free localization requires a construction of a fingerprint map that captures the signal strength characteristics when the human is standing at certain locations in the area of interest. This fingerprint requires significant overhead in construction, and thus has been one of the major drawbacks of WiFi-based device-free localization. In this paper, we leverage an automated tool for fingerprint constructions to study novel scenarios for WiFi-based device-free localization training and testing that are difficult to evaluate in a real environment. In particular, we examine the effect of changing the access points (AP) mounting location, AP technology upgrade, and outsider effect; on the accuracy of the localization system. Our analysis provides recommendations for better localization and provides insights for both researchers and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115319089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, smoking cessation is often hindered by the low perceivability of health risks and unawareness of habits in day-to-day life, and effective smoking cessation systems, besides personal counseling, are still to be improved. This demo presents the design and implementation of two instrumented lighters that can be used to track a smokers' personal consumption habits. A Gas lighter and a USB lighter which have been outfitted with a micro-controller, storage unit and real-time clock. Both lighters store the day-of-time whenever they are used to light up a cigarette. This information can later be retrieved by the user for personal consumption statistics like most common time-of-day of consumption, total number of smoked cigarettes, daily consumed cigarettes etc. The presented prototypes allow the continous tracking of smoking behaviour over the course of several days.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131474716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fieldwork and its implications afford inspirations and reveal stimuli where and how technology could potentially intervene.

However, the invisible and embedded nature of UbiComp systems prevents users from naturally perceiving active sensors or even the presence of systems. Furthermore, autonomous interventions of systems in the user's environments or undesired interactions with the user may be disturbing and could violate a user's privacy expectations. We propose PriFi beacons to support users in perceiving ongoing observations and potential disturbances from systems in the user's current environment. Privacy awareness information is piggybacked on WiFi beacons by leveraging their information elements. The information is extracted by an Android-based privacy client and presented to the user in a privacy awareness interface.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133568861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
