Aggregating and processing distributed data on ultra-violet (uv) exposure measurement

Abstract

The present application discloses devices, systems and methods for establishing and utilizing a UV sensing network to harness the efficacy of distributed UV sensing to produce improved accuracy of UV exposure measurement using mobile devices. This may be accomplished by “crowd sourcing”, i.e. having multiple devices work collaboratively to measure the UV exposure. The collaboration can be implemented in many potential ways, such as, using a server based architecture where devices connect to a specific “UV measurements server” to provide measurements and receive aggregate estimated exposure levels, and/or by using a peer-to-peer architecture, where devices in a specific region creates a local ad-hoc UV sensing network.
