Abstract

This paper presents Easy Tracker, a mobile application developed for the Android O/S that enable the storage, analysis and map visualization of routes of mobile users. Furthermore, it enable users to manually annotate part of their routes with labels describing their activity and behavior (e.g. "home having breakfast", "travelling by car to work", etc.). Of equal importance, the application encapsulates several state-of-the-art line simplification algorithms for compressing the trajectories drawn from collected GPS records, as well as segmenting trajectories into homogeneous parts in order to facilitate automatic auditing of the user's manual annotation.Android is a mobile operating system (OS) currently developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a specialized user interface. Variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics.
