Abstract

Recent commoditization of mobile digital devices and net-working brought us to use them as a very large-scale sensing platform. We call this possibility "Sensonmoy", which is an integration of collective intelligence (also known as "folk-sonomy") and pervasive sensing. As many users own mobile devices with sensing facilities, a collection of sensing data from these devices becomes quite important, and integration of them can be used in a very different manner. Such feature could be a new way to create intelligent systems and inter-faces. In this talk, I am going to discuss a possibility of con-necting a large number of simple devices to produce intelligent interactions. As a realistic example of them, I will introduce a city-scale indoor and outdoor positioning system that we have developed, and how its database can be evolved by using the idea of Sensonomy. I would also like to discuss computer-augmented memory and lifelong computing based on our platform.
