Abstract:
1. A method comprising, by one or more processors associated with a mobile data aggregation system: accessing, by one or more of the processors, a plurality of original data streams from a plurality of sensors, respectively, each of the original data streams comprising a series of samples that each represent a measurement of a stimulus sensed by the sensor that the original data stream is from, wherein each of one or more of the sensors associates original timestamps to the samples in its original data stream and its original data stream comprises the original timestamps with the samples, and wherein one or more of the sensors is affixed to a person's body; synchronizing, by one or more of the processors, the plurality of original data streams by overwriting the original timestamps associated with the samples in the original data streams with a system timestamp based on a system clock, the system clock operating independent of the plurality of sensors; generating, by one or more of the processors, a derivative data stream from one or more of the original data streams using a meta-sensor to perform an operation on the data streams to generate a series of samples, wherein a system timestamp is associated with each of the samples in the derivative data stream based on the system clock; and recording, by one or more of the processors, the derivative data stream and the original data streams with the synchronized system timestamps associated with their samples for correlation of the derivative data stream with one or more of the original data streams or with information outside the derivative and original data streams.
