Now Smartphone will spy you, it’s good for you, don’t worry: PlaceMe


Three things- Sensors, GPS and Wi-Fi, these are the functionalities of the Smartphone which is used to log your every move. It will figure out, where I go and how long I spend the time at particular place and this information is stored locally in my iPhone or Smartphone.

No!!! It’s not unnecessary like you must be thinking. This technology can be proved to be very useful for different class of people. Basically, with viewpoint of family members, in which one is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Moreover, you can analyse yourself that at the end of month, how much time you spend at what place. This is the way to optimize your time management and basically your living pattern. Now this application is available in the iPhone, besides that if you are using android Smartphone you can also use it. Each places visited will be pin pointed on map and you can see how much time you spent there. Alohar mobile, see this innovation as blessings when one is suffering from some car crash and at that time it will be easy to track whole thing and automatic alerting emergency services.
Challenges for this kind of application to be developed are about finding the perfect location where you visited. Using services like Google maps also, it’s not so easy to get accuracy. They may use accelerometer and compass to be more accurate. Moreover this application doesn’t drain down the battery unlike other applications working on basis of GPS.  Developers of this application say it is very difficult to track the exact place in the dense city. But it is self trained application. Means if you feed once about the location and its details then later on it will be able to track for all the time. Humans!!! Unstoppable.

Technology we don’t use: Use laptop as your Bluetooth headset


People, who are continuously on the laptop, don’t need to take calls on mobile. If your phone and laptop is Bluetooth enabled, you can use laptop as a Bluetooth headset.

Follow these steps:
  • Start Bluetooth in both the device
  • Search Bluetooth places in laptop
  • Find you mobile device and Map the devices by required verification
  • Right click on the device’s icon
  • Go to Advanced Operation
  • Click on “Connect to handsfree audio gateway”
While you are using your laptop as Audio Gateway, you can talk on phone using Mic and Speaker of your laptop. This is very useful when you are on long calls or some conference calls, because you can use Computer headphone (with mic) to feel more comfortable on longer calls. It’s helpful when more than one person want to communicate from one place and one connection. Mostly, these days we have 3.5 mm audio output jack so we can directly connect speaker with mobile but limitation is when we need to give input as our voice, this idea fails. Except for this, you can enjoy playlist of mobile on the computer speakers, without transferring songs to your laptop or computer. You can get high quality output of sound of your mobile phone songs. Its good experience so please try this once.

Now you can’t hide your age: Facial Recognition will tell your age


“You send is a photo and I will send you back the age of yours” says, Gil Hersch, CEO and founder of Face.com, which is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. So if you are under aging yourself beware that now software can catch you easilyJ. Software was trained by giving input of thousands of faces and adapting and improvising itself. Every innovation in this world has enough space to be utilized at somewhere or other. Gil is expecting huge market for his product. This will be proved to be very advantageous to filter the ads shown to the user in the internet. Say for example, if software scans the profile picture of the current user and then according to the, it can show relevant advertisement. This will make add more value to advertisement and campaigning.

Gil says, “We get the value of the data in form of portrait and which is already there but not yet explored.” Face.com has received lots of enquiries for this application. Another application of this type of technology can be used for video chatting sites and software. It can suggest people who come under same age group. Popularity can be easily understood when I will say, “There are 45000 of software professionals already member of this site and every moths millions of photo is get processed worldwide.”  You can go to this site for demonstration. The accuracy of this software is measured up to 90% overall. Hence we can say this innovation by another human is again a big success and we are ever unstoppable.
