A novel technique for composing device drivers for sensors on smart devices

Abstract

Recently the techniques for reading accurate sensor values have emerged as an important issue. Identifying the context information of a mobile device by utilizing sensors enables new types of sensor-based applications ranging from games to scientific exploration software. In this article, we propose a new technique for composing device drivers for sensors on smart devices. We show how to increase the accuracy of a sensor by utilizing the correlation of other sensors. A systematic scheme for composing device drivers is defined.
