An area of significant growth in mobile computing is location-awareness and wearable devices. Virtually all companies now employ the use of mobile devices in some fashion or another and the growth in the wearable device market is exploding. However, despite the rapid growth and recent success MindrMobile has had, there are many applied research problems yet to be solved. This research proposal involves collaboration between Sheridan and MindrMobile to develop innovative solutions for mobile devices in the area of smart interactions, context-aware mobile apps, micro-location technologies (iBeacons), and wearable devices. The Sheridan team, in collaboration with MindrMobile, proposes to design and develop two prototypes: 1. Mobile devices and iBeacons: In this project, we will create a mobile app and a multi-tier computer system that monitors the routes and activities that security guards undergo daily. 2. Apple Watch and Senior Support: This research will involve exploring the data available collectively from the Apple Watch and iPhone to provide an algorithm to make probabilistic inferences on the well being of the wearer (e.g., the user falls and can't get up or is unconscious). The information from the Apple Watch includes: heart rate, accelerometer, microphone and haptic responses. Together with the instrumentation on the iPhone (e.g., GPS, health data), the research will focus on developing an algorithm to make accurate predictions.

移动计算的一个显著增长领域是位置感知和可穿戴设备。几乎所有的 公司现在以这样或那样的方式使用移动设备，可穿戴设备的增长 设备市场正在爆炸式增长。然而，尽管MindrMobile取得了快速增长和最近的成功，但在 还有许多应用研究问题有待解决。这项研究提案涉及以下合作： Sheridan和MindrMobile在智能交互领域为移动设备开发创新解决方案， 情景感知移动应用、微定位技术(IBeacons)和可穿戴设备。 Sheridan团队与MindrMobile合作，提议设计和开发两个原型： 1.移动设备和iBeacons：在这个项目中，我们将创建一个移动应用程序和一个多层计算机系统 该组织监控保安每天进行的路线和活动。 2.Apple Watch和高级支持：这项研究将涉及探索来自 Apple Watch和iPhone提供了一种算法，可以对人们的幸福感做出概率推断 佩戴者(例如，用户摔倒，无法站起来或昏迷)。来自Apple Watch的信息包括： 心率、加速计、麦克风和触觉反应。与iPhone上的仪器一起 (例如，GPS、健康数据)，这项研究将专注于开发一种算法，以做出准确的预测。
