Abstract
Due to recent urbanization and changing lifestyles, many people have been spending more time indoors. Hence, they tend to receive less direct sunlight than ever before. Although excessive/inadequate UV exposure can be harmful to human health leading to illnesses such as skin cancer, spots, or depression, moderate UV exposure is necessary for vitamin D production in the body. Therefore, estimating UV exposure with a commonly used device is useful for maintaining a healthy lifestyle from excessive/inadequate UV exposure in our daily life. In this study, we aim to estimate UV exposure, and to this end, we used the GPS signal strength (C/No) collected from an off-the-shelf smartphone for exploring the relationship between UV values and C/No. We conducted an experiment and measured UV values and C/No from 10 places in two different situations. From the results, we observed a significant correlation (R2 more than 0.87) between UV values and C/No when all the data were divided by the sun/shade condition. This result supports the fact that UV values potentially can be inferred from C/No to some degree if the sun/shade condition can be detected.
