Sensing and Data Intelligence

Context is the wide range of historic information collected and sensed from user's devices and surroundings. The data and its intelligent analysis in the device and cloud create a new class of user-central solutions like wellness and health; recommendation, social search and information retrieval; mobile finance and information market; and other context-based solutions.

Research, spread evenly across Beijing, Lausanne, Cambridge/UK, Palo Alto and Tampere, is focused on:

  • Technology dimensions
    • Sensing
    • Infrastructure: Device and Cloud
    • Data Intelligence
  • Application areas
    • Recommend, Search and Information Retrieval
    • Wellness and Health
    • Mobile Finance and Information Market
    • Context-based Solutions

Teams working on Sensing and Data Intelligence include:

Working with these teams are several of our Open Innovation partners:





Traffic Works

Avoiding traffic congestion can save time, gasoline, greenhouse gas emissions, and stress. The Mobile Millennium project is a public-private research partnership that aims to address these key societal issues by providing drivers with current traffic information where and when they can use it.


Life Organizer

Personal and social life closely tied, Life Organizer collects continuous data through sensors, self-reflects and manage personal idenity and social network, communication, sharing and planning, etc., to create an extended far beyond conventional calendar..
