The current generation of portable mobile devices incorporates various types of sensors that open up new areas for the analysis of human behavior. In this paper, we propose a method for human physical activity recognition using time series, collected from a single tri-axial accelerometer of a smartphone. Primarily, the method solves a problem of online time series segmentation, assuming that each meaningful segment corresponds to one fundamental period of motion. To extract the fundamental period we construct the phase trajectory matrix, applying the technique of principal component analysis. The obtained segments refer to various types of human physical activity. To recognize these activities we use the k-nearest neighbor algorithm and neural network as an alternative. We verify the accuracy of the proposed algorithms by testing them on the WISDM dataset of labeled accelerometer time series from thirteen users. The results show that our method achieves high precision, ensuring nearly 96 % recognition accuracy when using the bunch of segmentation and k-nearest neighbor algorithms.
