Sensor parameters description for [PHONE_ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION]:

Key                                                               Description
[CONTAINER][ANDROID] Data stream container (database table, CSV file, etc.) where the activity data from Android devices is stored (the AWARE client saves this data on different tables for Android and iOS)
[CONTAINER][IOS] Data stream container (database table, CSV file, etc.) where the activity data from iOS devices is stored (the AWARE client saves this data on different tables for Android and iOS)
[EPISODE_THRESHOLD_BETWEEN_ROWS] Difference in minutes between any two rows for them to be considered part of the same activity episode

Parameters description for [PHONE_ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION][PROVIDERS][RAPIDS]:

Key                              Description
[COMPUTE] Set to True to extract PHONE_ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION features from the RAPIDS provider
[FEATURES] Features to be computed, see table below
[ACTIVITY_CLASSES][STATIONARY] An array of the activity labels to be considered in the STATIONARY category choose any of still, tilting
[ACTIVITY_CLASSES][MOBILE] An array of the activity labels to be considered in the MOBILE category choose any of on_foot, walking, running, on_bicycle

Features description for [PHONE_ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION][PROVIDERS][RAPIDS]:

Feature Units Description
count rows Number of episodes.
mostcommonactivity activity type The most common activity type (e.g. still, on_foot, etc.). If there is a tie, the first one is chosen.
countuniqueactivities activity type Number of unique activities.
durationstationary minutes The total duration of [ACTIVITY_CLASSES][STATIONARY] episodes of still and tilting activities
durationmobile minutes The total duration of [ACTIVITY_CLASSES][MOBILE] episodes of on foot, running, and on bicycle activities
durationvehicle minutes The total duration of [ACTIVITY_CLASSES][VEHICLE] episodes of on vehicle activity

Assumptions/Observations

  1. iOS Activity Recognition names and types are unified with Android labels:

    iOS Activity Name Android Activity Name Android Activity Type
    walking walking 7
    running running 8
    cycling on_bicycle 1
    automotive in_vehicle 0
    stationary still 3
    unknown unknown 4

  2. In AWARE, Activity Recognition data for Android and iOS are stored in two different database tables, RAPIDS automatically infers what platform each participant belongs to based on their participant file.
