How to transfer Android real-time sensor data to a computer?

I want to transfer real-time data collected by an Android smartphone to my computer and perform signal processing on my computer. How can i achieve this ? Any useful links to tutorials are very welcome.

Either wireless tools or USB cables are available.

When data is transferred, how can a computer process it?

I am familiar with Python and therefore use Python to process upcoming data.

Is it possible that Python is constantly accepting new data and processing it?

You can use python sockets to receive data and process it. Have a look: https://docs.python.org/2/howto/sockets.html for some idea on how to configure the server machine.

Android has a compatible socket that you can use to send your data: See: http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/android/core/socket-core/android-socket-example/ for some ideas on how to use it.

Edit: this will work for Wi-Fi and 3G / 4g.

There are several Android applications for transmitting sensor data wirelessly. Place an order, for example. "Smartphone IMU GPS" [1], which is open source [2]. It transmits data over UDP. A snippet of Python code for receiving a data stream is given in the application description [1]. Make sure that the smartphone as well as the receiving device are connected to the same WiFi network and the firewall is not blocking traffic.
