AIRS is the most comprehensive lifelogging platform for Android, recording a large variety of phone-internal and attached physiological sensors, such as the Zephyr HxM pulse monitor. Recording such data can serve many purposes, e.g. monitoring your physical activity or memorising your latest holiday.THIS SOFTWARE IS NO SPYWARE!! You ARE under full control over any data that is gathered! The flexibility of the stored format and the ability to support remote sensing opens a variety of opportunities. You can enjoy your local recordings directly on your mobile with the Storica application (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.storica), processing and visualising the information as engaging multimedia stories, maps with fly-over effects and a context-enriched media gallery. In local mode, data is stored in a secure SQLite database, while the remote mode connects to your own Windows-based application server (which in turn can store the data in an mySQL database). You can download the server from http://sourceforge/projects/nors.To simplify configuration, AIRS supports templates. You only need to configure once, then save the settings as a template and start the template from a launcher screen shortcut. You can have different shortcuts for different settings, easily switching recording scenarios! AIRS is battery-optimised, allowing for recording all day, and you can optimise battery consumption through the configuration! You can find an online manual at http://tecvis.co.uk/software-2/airs/, providing a list of sensors, which makes the permissions more obvious. If you have doubts about any of the permissions, please send us an email instead of rating down or commenting badly – AIRS is NOT a spy-tool!!The AIRS source code is available at https://github.com/dirktrossen/AIRS where you can inspect the handlers that obtain the various information pieces. A special thanks goes to Dana Pavel (http://dalore.me.uk/Dana/research-areas). She provided invaluable input into major design decisions and agreed to include her Java-based desktop software into the AIRS Github distribution. This software parses AIRS text files and inserts the values into a MySQL database on your desktop. With this, you can implement own visualizations! Please provide feedback by sending us an email! Or follow us on Twitter at @tecvisPermissions:All permissions are required due to the monitoring nature of the programme. No ads or other connected services, apart from the optional application server, are utilized. No data leaves the mobile without you explicitly copying the locally recorded values or explicitly connecting to the application server (which you need to install separately). The permissions as included in the manifest file:READ_CALENDAR: for CA sensorREAD_CONTACTS: show contact names in IC, OC, SR sensorsREAD_PHONE_STATE: read IMEI for remote sensing authorizationPROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS: capture outgoing phone numbersWRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: write sensor values to database and for synchronisation to SD card ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: for cell identifier informationVIBRATE: use vibrator service for button widgets and watchdog functionWAKE_LOCK: optional wake-lock for wifi scanning or permanent sensingACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: obtain information about connected to wifi or cellularREAD/RECEIVE_SMS: obtain received & sent SMS infoBLUETOOTH: perform BT discoveryBLUETOOTH_ADMIN: enable BT programmatically, if wanted by userBATTERY_STATS: read battery statsACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: obtain various GPS informationRECORD_AUDIO: record environmental noise levelACCESS_WIFI_STATE: allow for scanning wifiCHANGE_WIFI_STATE: change wifi to on, if wanted by userINTERNET: enable connectivity for remote sensing modeGET_TASKS: get list of running tasks (sensor ‘TR’)ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS: control A-GPS reloading option
