Acceleration and Orientation Multisensor Pedometer Application Design and Implementation on the Android Platform

This paper presents an Android platform´s pedometer application design which uses SOLite database to provide the historical data query function and bases on the acceleration sensor and the orientation sensor. This paper first introduces the background of the application and the principle of Android platform pedometer. In addition, it also analyzes and compares the different design between the single acceleration sensor pedometer and the multi-sensor pedometer, which proves the advantage of this design. And then, on this basis, this paper describes three main functions´ designs which are step count function, history query function and health test function. This paper also describes the implementation and results of this application design and proves the design´s feasibility and correctness.
