Abstract

In this paper, the system in consideration of the characteristic of the sensor information gathering on the personal mobile terminal was proposed introducing XML notation form. Then, we describe the composition of the gait outline monitoring system using the acceleration sensor and GPS information that assumes the application to the healthcare. We conducted gradual experiments, and examined the effect of the application and the extensibility of the system. In the first step, fundamental data accumulation application was built and basic examination about the feature of the walk obtained from the acceleration and GPS measurement at the time of a walk of the user who attached the mobile terminal to the body was performed. In the following step, the information acquired from the sensors used in the health care field was compared with the information acquired from the sensors of a mobile terminal. Furthermore, the application which accumulates measurement data and the input data from a user was built for the purpose of quantitative grasp of the state of the rheumatism illness. The validity of the proposal system was checked from a viewpoint of the correspondence to change and extension of the data collection which took into consideration the characteristic of the sensor information gathering on the personal mobile terminal in a series of experiments.
