Personalizing public and privacy-free sensing information with a personal digital assistant

Abstract

Mobile devices have been used, and various sensors have been in stalled in public places. Ordinary people might benefit if they could utilize these sensors for private use. However, privacy issues must be addressed. We developed an application using public sensing data and conducted open experiments with it at a shopping mall. The results suggest that using public sensors for personal use is beneficial. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
