Aplicación móvil para la medición del consumo de batería de los sensores en un teléfono inteligente

Abstract

Currently there are various sensors integrated in a smartphone, the most common are: gyroscope, proximity sensor, accelerometer and brightness sensor. It was identified that there is currently no Android application since version 8.0 that allows monitoring the power consumption of the named sensors. This can be useful, given that a variety of applications may eventually be interested in knowing the battery consumption of a sensor, this being an independent development that can later be integrated into another application that requires it.

Taking into account that currently there is no application that allows monitoring the battery level consumed by the sensors of a smartphone, in this work an application capable of monitoring the consumption of the main sensors on the battery in a smartphone is applied which works with Android version 8.0 and later versions. The sensors found in this monitoring are the most common in Android systems, such as the gyroscope, proximity sensor, accelerometer and light sensor.

The mobile application proposed in this degree project will support developers of other applications for smartphones who are interested in estimating their energy consumption when using the device's sensors. In particular, the support service for the research project 'Sistema de comunicación para sobrevivientes de un desastre basado en una red ad hoc de teléfonos inteligentes' at the Antonio Nariño University, where an application is needed to measure the energy consumption of sensors.
