Abstract

There are numerous events that transpire in one's life. Since, the need to make the most of these life logs is the ultimate goal of life logging; therefore, we present an approach to share one's life experiences with friends. The proposed mechanism assists one's friends who are involved in identical situations with shared life logs, provided that they check-in the same location where the logs were originally produced. A user of the system can capture and share images, audio recordings, QR-code or barcode as well as real objects via the prototype life log device. The friends in response can send feedback about the shared data to support the sharer of the log. The prototype application is developed on an Android-based smart phone that works as a life log device and employs Facebook and Dropbox API for fetching one's friends list and storing life log data in the cloud respectively.
