Bubble Sensing Technology: Seminar Report

This seminar report discusses bubble sensing technology, which allows mobile phone users to create tasks ("bubbles") that sense data at locations of interest. Bubbles are maintained through interactions between "bubble carriers" that carry tasks into an area, and "bubble anchors" that maintain tasks when carriers leave. The report describes bubble creation, maintenance (including challenges), and restoration if no devices are in the area for a period. It also discusses an implementation using mobile phones to transfer task state via WiFi, and a test bed evaluation of the proof of concept system.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents Bubble-Sensing, a new sensor network abstraction that allows mobile
phone users to create a binding between tasks (e.g., take a photo, or sample audio every
hour indefinitely) and the physical world at locations of interest, that remains active for a
duration set by the user. Also to envision mobile phones being able to affix task bubbles at
places of interest and then receive sensed data as it becomes available in a delay-tolerant
fashion, in essence, creating a living documentary of places of interest in the physical world
is presented here. The system relies on other mobile phones that opportunistically pass
through bubble-sensing locations to acquire tasks and do the sensing on behalf of the
initiator, and deliver the data to the bubble sensing server for retrieval by the user that
initiated the task.
Also described is an implementation of the bubble-sensing system using sensor-enabled
mobile phones. Task bubbles are maintained at locations through the interaction of
“bubble carriers”, which carry the sensing task into the area of interest, and “bubble
anchors”, which maintain the task bubble in the area when the bubble carrier is no longer
present. In the implementation, bubble carriers and bubble anchors implement a number
of simple mobile-phone based protocols that refresh the task bubble state as new mobile
phones move through the area. Phones communicate using the local ad hoc 802.11g radio
to transfer task state and maintain the task in the region of interest. This task bubble state
is ephemeral and times out when no bubble carriers or bubble anchors are in the area. This
design is resilient to periods when no mobiles pass through the bubble-area and is capable
of “reloading” the task into the bubble region. Described in this paper is the bubble-sensing
system and a simple proof of concept experiment.
