I'd like to create an android application that can determine whether you are upstairs or downstairs in a house. My advisor does not want us to use GPS because he says it won't work well indoors. Instead, he wants us to build the app using the accelerometer on the phone. Can you offer any ideas on how I can go about doing this?
I thought at first I could obtain an acceleration vs. time graph and then integrate twice to obtain displacement. If the displacement reached a certain value, then you would know the user has traveled either downstairs or upstairs. However, this seems really computationally intensive and it requires the app be running for a long period of time, so I doubt I could build the app using this approach... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
