A Pervasive Mobile Device Protection System
[attachment=30586]
INTRODUCTION
Mobile devices, such as laptops, smart phones and PDAs,
have become an essential part of our daily life. They are small
and easy to carry but also powerful in computational and
storage capabilities. Unfortunately, these merits also put them
at risk. For example, because mobile devices are small, they
usually are highly susceptible to theft, especially at public
places like airport terminal, library and cafe. Recently, as
mobile devices get slimmer and more powerful, the number of
mobile device thefts surges. According to the FBI’s National
Crime Information Center, the number of reported laptop
thefts in 2008 rose with a 48 percent increase over the
previous two years, from 73,700 to almost 109,000.
DEMONSTRATION DESCRIPTION
We demonstrate our pervasive mobile device protection
system for the following features: anti-theft protection, privacy
protection, alerts dispatch and context awareness. In
the following, we present (a) details of hardware used in
our prototype, b) demonstration setup, and c) scenarios to
demonstrate the aforementioned features.
Hardware
We implement the pervasive mobile device protection system
using various components. The user and infrastructure
functionalities are implemented over TelosB motes. The property
is composed of two parts, namely, a Dell Latitude laptop
and a TelosB mote with SBT80 sensor board. SBT80 is a
flexible sensor board with a variety of sensing modalities. The
modality of SBT80 used for our prototype is a Dual-Axis Accelerometer
(MMA6200). The central server is implemented
in a Dell Latitude laptop connected to a TelosB mote. The
transmission power level of motes for different components
are adjusted to suit the demonstration circumstances and
conditions.
Demo Setup
We will set up the demonstration as what follows:
² The infrastructure sensors (3»5 TelosB motes) and a
central server (a laptop) are set on a table to emulate the
infrastructure in a building.
² Each user (emulated by a TelosB mote) enters the
demonstration area with a laptop attached with a Telosb
mote. During this step, the user and the laptop are registered
with the infrastructure. The registration information
is displayed on the central server screen.
² For demo purpose we use two users (say, X and Y), each
carrying a laptop.
² As the user and laptop moves, their latest location
information (room ID) is updated and displayed on the
central server screen.
