Özet:

UBDroid is a multilayer tool for monitoring application usage on Android platform. UBDroid consists of an Android client application and a server application. The client application keeps track of user interactions by collecting start and running time of applications and sensor data. The data are collected on the device and subsequently sent to a remote server on a schedule and as a result the system does not require constant network connection. The server application gathers application information such as category and rating from Google Play and processes the collected data. UBDroid provides an energy efficient system for collecting user data which is valuable for user behavior analysis.
