Phones teach divine desire of the owner

specialist ICT Aren Peddemors (Arjen Peddemors) at Delft Technical University (Technical University of Delft) in The Netherlands proposed a system that examines the distinctive features of user behavior on mobile phones, to provide him with a streamlined service. For example, will be prevented from downloading large files, if human actions point to a possible way out beyond the coverage of cellular networks, said 3DNews.
Such predictions are possible thanks to the accelerometers in phones such as Nokia N97 and Apple iPhone. Their common use is to reorient the image on the display while turning the device or in response to other actions. Peddemors came to the conclusion that the generated data flow sensors and is suitable for solving other problems, because it contains information about all committed by the owner of the phone’s movements. Monotonous events, such as commuting to work, almost always include the same sequence of actions: closing the door, open garage, landing in the car. These data and uses a system for creating electronic “fingerprints” of certain events. Then the software on the phone are trained to predict what will happen in every subsequent time and to react one way or another.
How to describe the idea Peddemors, if the usual route to work passes through some of the cell site mobile network, corresponding to “script” will be able to specify the phone software, you need to contact the network and verify the ability of cells to provide the usual range of services for the subscriber, for example, listening to favorite music channels through the Internet. Anticipation of such “mobile events” may be the way in situations where the phone transmitted through the critical information needed like a doctor physiological indicators of heart rate and blood pressure. “Predicting the movement of the patient, the system does not allow us to begin the download of critical data for as long as the person’s behavior indicates the possibility of its completion,” – explains Peddemors.
