FATE (Full Attention Telemetry Engine)
Campus-aware digital wellness & attention telemetry system combining spatial geofencing, social contagion scoring, and Android app usage analytics.

FATE (Full Attention Telemetry Engine) was engineered by Team ShadowDevs for HackSprint IIT Jodhpur (Theme A: Focus & Digital Wellness).
Most productivity tools track only screen time in isolation. FATE is the first campus-aware telemetry platform that unifies Digital Intelligence (app context switching & notification latency), Spatial Intelligence (GPS geofences across lecture halls and canteens), and Social Intelligence (peer proximity via Google Nearby Connections).
The system computes a real-time Cumulative Attention Score (CAS) from $0$ to $100$, providing full transparency through a live outbound telemetry log tab and allowing users to customize metric weights in Settings.

The Contextual Attention Score (CAS) integrates three contextual dimensions:
$$CAS = (w_{spatial} \times S_{spatial}) + (w_{social} \times S_{social}) + (w_{digital} \times S_{digital})$$
| Metric Dimension | Default Weight | Data Acquisition Source | Impact Logic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Intelligence | 40% | Android UsageStatsManager + NotificationListenerService | Productive apps (+1 to +2 pts/hr); Distracting apps (-1.8x penalty); Impulse switch (<30s) penalty. |
| Spatial Intelligence | 30% | Native GPS polling every 2 mins | Productive geofences (LHC +4 pts/hr, Library +3 pts/hr); Neutral zones (Hostel 0 pts); Distracting zones (Canteen -2 pts/hr). |
| Social Intelligence | 30% | Google Nearby Connections API (BLE/Wi-Fi Direct) | High-focus peer proximity ($CAS > 70$) yields +0.3 pts/min bonus; Distracted peer ($CAS < 40$) yields -0.5 pts/min penalty. Close friends exempt. |
