Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we aim to turn out the mechanism for interconnecting various Android devices such as a smartphone, intelligent home appliance, and smart home. Like "tethering" function that enables a user to share the mobile network, our proposed system enables a user to share various sensors. Concretely, (1) we designed and developed a mechanism that can share an acceleration sensor between two Android phone. In addition, (2) we design and implement a novel remote control that combines Android phone and location sensor embedded in our smarthome environment. Finally, we confirm that our proposed system can share sensors and realize a more useful system.
