 Sentient computing

is a form of ubiguitous computing which uses sensors

to perceive its environment and react accordingly…
Goals:
build Sentient Spaces = computerised environments
that sense & react
close gap between user and computer by using context
make ubiquitous computing reality through Sentient
Computing
Sensors

Auotomobiles,machines,aerospace,industry,robotics…

Active badges:

Identity+room level+button
Label,infra red beacon,receiver in room
Tech limited acces through doors
Computer terminal adopts your settings by “teleporting”
Proximity: active badges
User/object wears badge

Badge emits id over IR

IR doesn’t penetrate walls
Activebat:
Low power,wireless,indoor location system
accurate upto 3 cm
Itrequires minimum of three reference
nodes for calculating distance
Bat System
Light weight wearable devices contain 433mhz radio
transceiver, ultrasonic transducer,battery
Goal is to propagation of ultrasound from a bat to its local
receiver to determine bat’s position
System principles:
Bat & system is connect to sensor network communicate using
radio channel
Each bat have 2 transducers pointing in different directions to
create ultrasonic emission in wearer
Power:
Achived through dynamic positioning update rate, ket to present
motion of bat,sensed using jitter switch
Maximum updation rate is 15 Hz

Accuracy:
Accuracy of 3cm,95% of time of time is achieved
Reflection from smooth surface,corner of room result in
worst result
Spatial Indexing
Based on programming space
Events triggered by interaction between tracked entities &
pre-defined space
Interaction with system done by spatial buttons

Spatial database:
Index section consist of global & street atlas commonly contains
list of named features(towns,streets etc..)
Also include identifiers and database named by feature name
Features of spatial data bases:
It includes spatial index to speed up database operation
It includes queries such as….
Spatial Measurements: distance between points,polygon area…
Spatial function:Modifying existing features to create new ones
Spatial Predicates: Allows true/false queries (is there residence
located within a miles)
Trilateration:
Finding relative position of objects using geometry of
triangles like as triangulation

For 2d plane using tilateration generally requires 3

reference nodes
GPS:
It is type of sentient computing includes 24 satellites
For navigation ,military,map making, surveying …etc
VNC(Virtual network computer):
RFB (Remote frame buffer)protocol to remotely control
another computer
Platform independent
Acessing files on one’s work computer from one’s home
computer
Devoloped at AT&T
 Under Research…..

Grid-based spatial indexes allocation of relevant objects

to their position in grind
Grid cell identifiers for rapid acess
Old method data driven approach(data dependent
mathod)
Recent space driven approach
Data distribution
 Automatic control of environment without user
intervention
Mobile Eye
How mobile comm.. And services can be enriched by
adding context awareness to them
We can view the world using camera mobile
Project going in EMI^2(Environment to mobile
intelligent interaction)
MobileEye Concept
 mobile
Applications:

Opening and closing doors automatically

A textual indication of where someone is, how fast
the are moving, how long they have been there
Showing the local context, including who and
what else is nearby
Personalization by teleporting VNC desktops
Surveillance applications which the selection of a
particular camera is based on spatial data
