The document discusses the potential of VTT's intelligent data analytics to enhance service provision in traditional markets such as telecom and retail by utilizing sensor information. Two examples are provided: automatic media exposure tracking and model-based testing of smartphones, demonstrating the collection and analysis of user behavior data for better service delivery. The document outlines the software architecture for the background service that gathers user information and highlights the complexities involved in testing mobile applications.

Data analytics in bigdata
Data analytics together with bigdata
has a potential to create big
advantages for service providers
In traditional service markets
such as
Telecom operators
Retail
Security
New market roles enabling digital
value chains such as
Data brokering
Real time data processing

VTT data analytics
Data analysis – statistical data
analysis methods, descriptive
(clustering, etc.) and predictive
(regression, neural networks,
etc.).
HW and SW solutions need for
data collection and
management
Analytics – several teams
working in different application
areas: telecom, logistics,
business, etc.

Outline
Aims
Companies want to gather information of user
behavior and user motivations - costeffectively
Information is needed in order to produce
timely media and advertising content in right
context
From silo- and media-centered measuring to
holistic consumer-centric information (as
media field is becoming more and more
fragmented and multichannel)
Goal is to collect raw data for preserving as much information as
possible. Suitable backends can be provided for different customers

Software architecture
The software consists of two parts:
Background service recording information in background
Client for inputting information that cannot be
detected/recorded automatically, e.g. reading newspaper
In addition, there is a related web service that can be used to
manually annotate a media day for evaluation of the automatic
system

Background service
Background service collects the following information:
User ID
Application information (app name, app class, timing)
Browser events (url, timing).
Device info (Android version, device class, product name)
Hard button events (volume up/down, event timing)
Screen touch events (x,y,timing information, screen
orientation)
Periodic information (device location, data usage, timing)
The information is sent to an external server once per day

AUTOMATIC BEHAVIORAL MODEL BASED TESTING
OF SMART PHONES AND APPLICATIONS

Outline
Testing smart phones and applications
is a complex task
Model based testing is possible but
exhaustive testing of all the functionality
is often not possible due to time
constraints
A solution is to learn behavioral models
by observing real usage patterns of
device users
Statistical models are used to model
user behavior
