ENVIRONMENTAL DATA ANALYSIS AND GENERATION OF NOTIFICATION USING MOBILE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17644262 titled 'ENVIRONMENTAL DATA ANALYSIS AND GENERATION OF NOTIFICATION USING MOBILE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
A mobile device can detect and communicate sunlight exposure to a user at a specific location using GPS data. The device determines sunlight intensity at its location and analyzes it along with GPS data to estimate the user's sunlight exposure. The device then communicates the level of sunlight exposure to the user.
- Mobile device can detect and communicate sunlight exposure to a user at a specific location
- Sunlight intensity data is determined based on GPS data received by the device
- Analysis of sunlight intensity data and GPS data allows estimation of user's sunlight exposure
- Level of sunlight exposure is determined and communicated to the user
Potential Applications
- Personal health and wellness tracking
- Skin care and sun protection recommendations
- Environmental monitoring and analysis
Problems Solved
- Lack of awareness about personal sunlight exposure
- Difficulty in tracking and managing sun exposure
- Limited access to real-time sunlight intensity data
Benefits
- Improved user awareness of sunlight exposure
- Better management of sun protection and skin care
- Real-time access to sunlight intensity data for personal safety and health
Original Abstract Submitted
A mobile device can be used for detecting and communicating to a user at a location, sunlight exposure in relation to the user at the location. Sunlight intensity data at a location of a mobile device is determined, in response to receiving at the computer, GPS (Global Positioning System) data for the mobile device. The sunlight intensity data and the GPS data is analyzed to generate an estimate of sunlight exposure for a user using the mobile device at the location. A level of sunlight exposure for the user is determined, based on the estimate of sunlight exposure for the user, and using the mobile device, the level of sunlight exposure to the user is communicated to the user.
