Introduction
Mobile communication describes the use of various technological systems in order to
communicate while one is away from a fixed location. Mobile communication has been
the focus of scholarly work since around 2000 (Green and Haddon, 2009). Researchers in
Hong Kong (Leung and Wei, 1999), Finland (Kasesniemi and Rautiainen, 2002; Oksman and
Rautianen, 2003), the United Kingdom (Green and Smith, 2004; Grinter and Eldridge,
2001; Haddon, 1997), Japan (Ito, 2001), and Norway (Ling, 2004) as well as many other
locations havemade contributions. With the development of the mobile Internet, research
is starting to bridge the work of the
traditional mobile communication community and the Internet research community.
Thisarticle will examine the definition of mobile communication, the current and emerging
issues in mobile communication research, and some methodological issues poised by the
study of this area.
The word sensing builds a bridge between real world and virtual world; with the help
of various sensors, man-made devices are able to feel the world like God-made creatures
do. Bellmay be the first generation of sensors; people tie up a bell to a string so that when
there is a vibration on the string, the bell will ring. Bell is a very powerful and effective
sensor; it containstwo parts: detection and processing. When a bell detects a vibration, it
will generate a period of ringing and the volume of the ringing is proportional to the
amplitude of the vibration. However, bell is the kind of sensor that connects real world to
real world. With the development of electronic devices, a new man-made world has been
building. This world is called virtual world; many complicated calculations are running in
this world so that people inreal world can enjoy their lives. Virtual world needs data to
keep running, and it is far from enough to input data into the virtual world depending on
human operations. Sensor is a way to sense the world and interpret the sensed
information to the data form of the virtual world;therefore, sensing becomes an
important part of research field and industry field
MOBILE PHONES SYSTEMS
The ways of communication have been entered into new avenues with the advent of
newtechnologies. In early history, pigeons were utilized as methods of communication. With
the introduction of postal system, peoples started sending written messages. With the
passage
of time, telephone systems were emerged followed by the era of wireless communication,
giving rise to the existence of mobile phone technology. Today's mobile phone is a complete
computer having the same communication and technological capabilities. The very first
servicesoffered by mobile phones were mobility and voice but today they have powerful
hardware architecture and software support particularly operating system. Mobile phones
manufacturers realized that they can extend phone’s features by integrating other
technologies to it. Today's mobile phones are equipped with plenty of capabilities such as
Internet access, download file textual/audio/video etc, playing games, and have a wide array
of sensors, high resolution color display, support for different standards of wireless
networking, mp3 players, advance processing power, and large memory for a number of
applications etc.In the recent years, the role of mobile phone is shifted from a verbal
communication tool to a multimedia tool,adopting the name of “mobile device” instead of a
phone at all. Recent mobile phones are replacing our other gadgets e.g. video camera, and
voice recorder etc and mostly used for web surfing, email checking, photos snapping, and
updating social networking status etc than placingcalls actually.
In the beginning, mobile phones were not so common because they were expensive
and communication costs were pretty high for people. But in the past few years, their costs
have been decreased considerably and today’s mobile phones are inexpensive, human
friendly, highly portable, and equipped with latest features of high potential. Mobile phones
are now first choice gadget for people belonging to different demographics. Every person
want to be equipped with this magical gadget while having their own reasons and want to
replace their old ones with the latest handsets providing the latest features. Since the
introduction of mobile phones, different manufacturing companies are coming up into the
market with new models to lure the users. Each vendor is providing their products with
latest technologies and features to enlarge their customer numbers and eventually their
market share.
Evolution of mobile phone
Embedded/Internal Mobile Phone Sensors: Most of the today’s smartphones are open
and programmable and come with a number of embedded sensors. The number and types
of sensors in mobile phones varies depending on the underlying mobile phones
platformsand usability. Understanding the potentialities of sensors and increasing
miniaturizations in technologies will enable the integration of more advanced sensors in
the future mobile phones.
1. Proximity Sensor: Proximity sensor releases electromagnetic or electrostatic field or a
beam of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. infrared) and looks for changes in the field or
return signal and detects any nearby object presence without any physical contact.
Proximity sensor's target refers to the object being sensed by the proximity sensors and
different proximity sensors demands different targets.
2. Ambient Light Sensor: This sensor measures light of the surrounding and adjust
brightness of mobile phone accordingly to optimize screen visibility. If light of the
surrounding is high, brightness of the mobile phone screen will be decreased otherwise
increased. Adjusting of display brightness will not only optimize visibility but will also
save battery power in smartphones.
3. Accelerometer Sensor: Accelerometer sensor is used as user interface controller:
changing the screen display by sensing the orientation of the device based on the way
the device is being held by a user. This sensor measures the acceleration of smart phone
in three different axes: X, Y and Z. Smartphones commonly uses 3-axis accelerometer to
detect orientation of the phone and adjusts the screen display accordingly, providing
convenience to the users to easily switch between portrait and landscape view.
4. Moisture Sensor: Moisture sensor is used to determine cause of smartphone damage:
whether device has been damaged due to water or not. Apple’s employees use status of
thissensor to decide whether the device deserves for a warranty repair or replacement.
Apple's iPhone has faced criticism due to their moisture sensor placement. It is believed
thatthis sensor can be affected due to steam in the bathroom, owner's sweat during
exercising, and some other light environment moisture.
5. Digital Compass Sensor: This sensor is a magnetometer, used to recognize the North
and defines direction for users. Modern smartphones do not use magnets, because
magnetic interference can degrade cellular capabilities significantly through dropping
signal strength. Apple's iPhone 4 uses AKM AK8975 chip which is a small sensor and it
determines the orientation and directions relative to the Earth's atmosphere using the
Hall EffectBarometer Pressure Sensor: A barometer is a low voltage, low power, and high
resolution pressure sensor used as a scientific gadget by meteorologists for measuring
atmospheric pressure. Barometer measures the exerted atmospheric pressure which
can be used positively for weather forecasting and altitude estimation. Barometer
performs pressure measurements in hectopascals or millibars (where 1000 millibars = 1
bar and 1 bar = 1 Newton).
Gyroscope Sensor: Gyroscope sensor is a movement sensor pretty much like accelerometer
used in modern smartphones. It uses principles of angular momentum for
measuring and maintaining the position and orientation of devices.It concentrates on
calculating and measuring rotation axis. Apple's iPhone 4 is the pioneer using built-in
gyroscope and uses MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) developed gyroscope.
6. GPS (Global Positioning System) Sensor: GPS is a navigation tracking system where GPS
receivers get information sent by the GPS satellites and calculates a user's exact location
using triangulation. In smartphones, GPS applications can be programmed with a map
in
the background and displaying routes to the users where they have been or want to go.
7. Back-Illuminated (BI) Sensor: Back-Illuminated (BI) sensor also called as BackSide-
Illumniated (BSI) sensor is digital image sensor which improves low-light performance
and increases the amount of light during image capturing and makes more prominent
image elements. HTC's EVO 4G and Apple's iPhone 4 uses BI sensor from Omni Vision
Technologiesin addition to their cameras.
8. CMOS Camera/Image Sensor: A CMOS image sensor uses MOS (Metal Oxide
Semiconductor)transistors to convert an optical image into electrical signals. This sensor
forms an image byusing unit pixel, where each pixel is a semiconductor which creates
current signal by transforming incident light photons and the size of signal produced is
relative to the amount of incident light photons. It is well suited for tiny cameras
(commonly used in PDAs and mobile phones) because they can build all of the required
camera logic and control circuits onto the same silicon wafer dice.
9. Microphones Sensor: A microphone sensor is an electromechanical device that detects
air pressure as vibration and creates an electrical signal that is proportional to the
vibration. Microphones can provide very interesting information with minimal
processing such as noise level, types of input (noise, music, and speaking etc), and base
frequency). In smartphones, microphone sensors can be for recording voice (i.e. human,
or traffic etc) for using in valuable applications. Bluetooth Sensor: Bluetooth sensor is a
short range low-power radio communication device, designed primarily to connect
personal consumer gadgets and peripherals available in proximity in a wireless network
with a data rate of less than 1Mbps. Bluetooth is attractive because of its small size and
low cost while using the same technologies, with little modifications, as used by WiFi,
and wireless USB.
10. External Sensors: there is a lengthy list of sensors which can be connected and
communicate with the mobile phones. If a sensor is available in a surrounding
environment, which have short-range communication technology (e.g. Bluetooth, and
WiFi etc), it can be connected directly with mobile phones. Several of these sensors are
used by plethora of mobile phones sensing applications.
Temperature Sensor: Temperature sensors give information about the ambient
temperature. This sensor uses solid state principles to determine the temperature
instead of using mercury, bimetallic strips, or thermostors. The principle explores that
the voltage across the diodes increases at an already determined rate as the
temperature increases. There are two types of temperature sensors: contact sensors
and non-contact sensors.
11. Humidity Sensor: Humidity sensor (also called hygrometer), measure the relative
humidity (i.e. both air temperature and moisture) contents present in the
environment/air. Relative humidity expressed in percentage, showing the ratio between
the actual moisture in the air to the highest amount of moisture in the air at that
temperature can hold. That is the warmer the temperature, the more moisture air can
hold. Therefore, relative humidity changes with fluctuations in temperature.
12. Emerging Mobile Phones Sensors: Next-generation of mobile phones is expected to
integrate many new types of sophisticated sensors that will not only increase smartness
of mobile phones but will also led to a number of modern application areas to provide
valuable services. Introduction of extra sensors in mobile phones will strengthen the
idea of finding sensor everywhere.
13. Altimeter Sensor: Barometric Altimeter sensor, is a mechanical device designed to
measure altitude above Mean Sea Level (MSL) using the idea of change in the
atmospheric pressureIt works on how the pressure and temperature changes with
altitude.It considers altitude in inverse proportionality to pressure and temperature.
14. Biosensor: A biosensor can detect, record, and transmit physiological data using
electrical signals. Without using the biological system directly, they can determine the
concentration of substances and other parameters of biological
