Abstract

Location estimation with artificial infrastructures for mobile computing has been actively studied, but originally, people get a lot of information from nature during a course of a day. Nature including animals and plants supplies various information acoustically and visually. In this context, we present the concept of Cicada Fingerprinting System, which is a future localization scheme that will enable us to make the most of the information from nature. In our system, users collect the chirp of cicadas as acoustic data via smartphone embedded with microphone. Using the chirp of cicadas such as Wi-Fi fingerprinting, we can specify the location of users regardless of the existence of a roof. That is to say, cicada fingerprinting system applies cicada's instinctive behaviour to a localization. Furthermore, by our system, users are able to feel a sense of belonging to a nature even in urban area, where we spend much time in daily life. This novel system is designed for making general users conscious of presence of nature around.
