ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose a method for detecting physical shock by a mobile phone and its applications in security and emergency scenarios. We use acceleration signal provided by accelerometers integrated in a mobile phone to detect shocks. The shock is identified by analysis of acceleration pattern using statistical signal processing methods. We propose to use such a shock detection application for increasing security of data access in a mobile phone, as well as identifying scenarios which user of mobile phone experiences risky emergency events.

Fall and emergency detection with mobile phones
Assets '09: Proceedings of the 11th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibilityIn this demo, we present an application for mobile phones which can monitor physical activities of users and detect unexpected emergency situations such as a sudden fall or accident. Upon detection of such an event, the mobile phone can inform a ...
Awareness, Knowledge, and Ability of Mobile Security Among Young Mobile Phone Users
The research literature on awareness, knowledge, and ability of mobile security of young mobile phone users was reviewed in this article. The existing literature suggests that young mobile phone users are usually not aware of potential mobile security ...
Usability risk level evaluation for physical user interface of mobile phone
The mobile phone has become an indispensable device in everyday life. However, many usability problems were generated by the multi-functionality of mobile phones. There was an important increase on the user interface (UI) design and usability. With the ...
