Abstract

In this paper we present a novel system that recognizes and records the motional activities of a person using a mobile phone. Wireless sensors measuring the intensity of motions are attached to body parts of the person. Sensory data is collected by a mobile application that recognizes the prelearnt activities in real-time. For efficient motion pattern recognition of gestures and postures, feed-forward backpropagation neural networks are adopted. The design and implementation of the system are presented along with the records of our experiences. The recognized activity is used as an additional retrieval key in our extensive mobile memory recording and sharing project.
