Platform for Portable Sensing Applications

摘要

Sensing systems are presented in which one or more sensors are operatively associated with a portable device such as a smartphone or tablet computer. A software application on the portable device provides an interface through which a user can interact with the sensors, e.g. to collect readings or perform calibrations. Preferably the portable device acts as an intermediary to a Cloud service for management and storage of measured data and calibration information. Once transmitted to the Cloud, the data can be accessed from any internet-connected device.

主权项

1. A method of calibrating at least one sensor operatively associated by wireless means with at least one portable device and a cloud-based server, said method comprising the steps of:
identifying the at least one sensor by an identification system;
initiating on the at least one portable device or in the cloud-based server a calibration routine for at least one of the at least one sensors;receiving data from the at least one sensor;applying a mathematical model to the data to calibrate the at least one sensor; andstoring the calibration data for the at least one sensor in the at least one portable device or in the cloud-based server.
