An Android-based Mechanism for Energy Efficient Localization depending on Indoor / Outdoor Context
ABSTRACT:
Today, there is widespread use of mobile
applications that take advantage of a user’s location. Popular usages of location
information include geotagging on social media websites, driver assistance and
navigation, and querying nearby locations of interest. However, the average
user may not realize the high energy costs of using location services (namely
the GPS) or may not make smart decisions regarding when to enable or disable
location services - for example, when indoors. As a result, a mechanism that
can make these decisions on the user’s behalf can significantly improve a
smartphone’s battery life. In this work, we present an energy consumption
analysis of the localization methods available on modern Android smartphones and
propose the addition of an indoor localization mechanism that can be triggered
depending on whether a user is detected to be indoors or outdoors. Based on our
energy analysis and implementation of our proposed system, we provide
experimental results - monitoring battery life over time - and show that an
indoor localization method triggered by indoor or outdoor context can improve
smartphone battery life and, potentially, location accuracy.
