Abstract
System and method of collecting and processing data in electronic devices. A sensors data collector collects measurements from at least an accelerometer and a gyroscope of an electronic device. A data-loss prevention module operates to pass these measurements, immediately upon their collection, to a supplemental locally-running processing thread which retains the measurements even after a refresh of a web-page in which the measurements were collected, and which transmits the measurements to a remote server even after refresh of the web-page in which the measurements were collected. Non-global scope of functions is utilized, to reduce security exposure. An asynchronous SharedWorker module is utilized, to alleviate congestion of computing resources of the electronic device. Data obfuscation and encoding is utilized to maintain anonymity of user-entered data while still allowing a remote server to ensure the integrity of data received from the electronic device.
