Platform for Portable Sensing Applications
First Claim
1. A method of calibrating at least one sensor operatively associated by wireless means with at least one portable device and a cloud-based server, said method comprising the steps of:
- identifying the at least one sensor by an identification system;
initiating on the at least one portable device or in the cloud-based server a calibration routine for at least one of the at least one sensors;
receiving data from the at least one sensor;
applying a mathematical model to the data to calibrate the at least one sensor; and
storing the calibration data for the at least one sensor in the at least one portable device or in the cloud-based server.

Abstract
Sensing systems are presented in which one or more sensors are operatively associated with a portable device such as a smartphone or tablet computer. A software application on the portable device provides an interface through which a user can interact with the sensors, e.g. to collect readings or perform calibrations. Preferably the portable device acts as an intermediary to a Cloud service for management and storage of measured data and calibration information. Once transmitted to the Cloud, the data can be accessed from any internet-connected device.

9. A system for measuring at least one parameter, comprising:
-
at least one sensor adapted to measure data on at least one parameter and wirelessly transmit measured parameter data therefrom; a portable device adapted to receive measured parameter data from the at least one sensor and to measure one or more items of portable device data; a cloud connection adapted to allow transmission of measured parameter and portable device data between the portable device and a cloud-based server; and a software application on the portable device or on a cloud-based server adapted to process the measured parameter data and the portable device data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
