Hi Takenori, I like both your ideas! The first idea may not be an application, but it seems like it would provide a platform for others creating application, and it has a potential business use-case. The 2nd idea is very interesting, but I'm no sure that you will be able to collect enough data. You'll need a lot of people with smartphones sending data, an app that collects the data you need, and probably weeks worth of data to have enough for HTM to start recognizing patterns.
But I suggest you submit your first idea, it has a lot of potential. Then maybe while you are building it, you will come up with another app idea?
