Funf Open Sensing Framework

Funf enables programmers to collect and use data from remote Android devices.

After collecting the data, Funf can optionally forward it to a remote location/URL for analysis and interpretation.

Features:

• Remote Configuration
• Security
• Extensibility
• Reliable data store
• Minimum impact on users
• Available user probes:
• Environment:
• Light Sensor
• Proximity Sensor
• Magnetic Field Sensor
• Pressure Sensor
• Temperature Sensor
• Device:
• Android Info
• Battery
• Hardware Info
• Time Offset
• Telephony
• Positioning:
• Location
• Bluetooth
• Wifi
• Cell
• Social:
• Contact
• Call Log
• SMS
• Motion:
• Accelerometer Sensor
• Gravity Sensor
• Linear Acceleration Sensor
• Gyroscope Sensor
• Orientation Sensor
• Rotation Vector Sensor
• Activity
• Device Interaction:
• Running Applications
• Applications
• Screen
• Browser Bookmarks
• Browser Searches
• Videos
• Audio Files
• Images

What is new in this release:

• Fixed bug where non-us locales were unable to create databases.

What is new in version 0.4.0:

• Funf now runs as a single service instead of a service per probe.
• Internal communication now implemented using internal function calls in the same JVM rather than inter-process communications.
• Probes: Probe data exchange re-architected to use a GSON/JSON implementation.
• Pipelines: Generalized pipeline interface.
• Configuration: Extensive redesign of the configuration process
• Configuration: Extensive redesign of the configuration process.

What is new in version 0.3.0:

• Updated communication mechanism for probes to use PendingIntents as callbacks, instead of Broadcasts.
• Lower start-up time (BroadcastsReceivers no longer have to be dynamically registered).
• Better security (Rely on Android to find out requesting package, instead of complicated nonce exchange).
• Probes now conduct all actions on a separate thread, and shut down on their own if they have no data requests pending.
• Separated probe status messages, into details (constant probe information) and status (transient state information). More details in ProbeCommunication.
