User tracking for AAL: An inertial approach

This paper deals with a novel multi-sensor approach for the implementation of a tracking system exploiting features of smartphones. Actually, the widespread use of smartphones and performances provided by the variety of sensors embedded in these devices encourage their use in mobility oriented applications, such as the exploitation of educational/job environments by weak people. The proposed methodology exploits information provided by the multisensory features embedded in a standard smartphone and advanced paradigms to improve the efficiency of the system in performing user tracking tasks.
