A Sensor-Fusion Approach For Meeting Detection, Jue Wang, Guanling Chen, David Kotz Jun 2004

A Sensor-Fusion Approach For Meeting Detection, Jue Wang, Guanling Chen, David Kotz

Dartmouth Scholarship

In this paper we present a context-sensing component that recognizes meetings in a typical office environment. Our prototype detects the meeting start and end by combining outputs from pressure and motion sensors installed on the chairs. We developed a telephone controller application that transfers incoming calls to voice-mail when the user is in a meeting. Our experiments show that it is feasible to detect high-level context changes with “good enough” accuracy, using low-cost, off-the-shelf hardware, and simple algorithms without complex training. We also note the need for better metrics to measure context detection performance, other than just accuracy. We propose …
