Challenges of Privacy-aware Localization on Wearable Devices

Abstract

In this paper, we give a brief survey of the main research results in the area of wearable localization solutions, with a particular focus on the privacy constraints in the localization on wearable devices. We identify several open research challenges and define open questions for further research directions. It is shown that finding adequate methods to protect the user location privacy on wearables is becoming increasingly important with the advent of new Location-Based Services relying on wearable devices.
