How to change the Sensor and Location platform in Windows 7 our life

    The Sensor and Location platform in Windows 7 is a great platform for working with various sensors. Sensors are needed for more environmental information. In particular, this applies to portable devices: laptop, tablet. A typical example is a change in the brightness of a laptop display, depending on the level of environmental lighting. If the user goes into the park and sits on a bench on a sunny bright day, then the set brightness of the display will most likely be lacking. The sensor considers the values ​​of the light level, the received value will be used by the screen brightness control program using the Sensor and Location platform, and set the corresponding brightness.

    The advantage of this platform is that it provides universal access to sensors. As a result, a sensor of any level of complexity can be developed, the resulting values, which will be available to any desktop application. At the moment, there are few applications using the Sensor and Location platform. Available documentation describes the technical side of the use of sensors, without wide coverage of the scope of use and tasks. Consider the scope of use of this platform. We are all eternal students in this life. Some, however, are also teachers. A student coming to class includes his laptop and downloads data for classes from the university network. He is forced to manually repeat these actions every time. But you can On each student’s laptop, place a context-sensitive application that provides all the necessary information, depending on the network connection point, wired and wireless. The teacher will receive an automatic launch of the presentation on the subject depending on the audience. Pondering where to go for a bite to eat, the student will receive a complete list of nearby cafes. Entering the cafe, you will receive a full menu of dishes for ordering. After class, sitting on a bench on the campus will find out who is next to you from the list of Facebook or VKontakte friends. You won’t have to write: “Where are you?” In order to communicate. While in the cinema, you can get a repertoire plan and book tickets even before you approach the box office. If you are not able to restrain your impressions, you can write a twitter post in the hall without “lighting” the surrounding brightness of the screen. Ambient Light Sensor, carefully in the hall will reduce the brightness of the backlight of the laptop screen. Having found the owner’s location, he will automatically download e-mail, new posts from Habrahabr, and software updates. An employee who is actively moving during the working day will automatically receive a list of tasks depending on his location. Any traveler, depending on location, will automatically receive the entire set of necessary data for a given region, from maps to rules of conduct in these areas. Positioning is not limited to the platform. An employee who is actively moving during the working day will automatically receive a list of tasks depending on his location. Any traveler, depending on location, will automatically receive the entire set of necessary data for a given region, from maps to rules of conduct in these areas.

    New opportunities open up in man-machine interaction. When entering operational data into the database, the operator may make mistakes depending on fatigue. The presence of these errors can be correlated by time of day. But this approach is not very reliable because of the possible different modes of human life. Using the Sensor and Location platform, it is possible to obtain biometric indicators of the operator (heart rate, body temperature, reaction rate) when entering data. Sensors can be built into the front of laptops, keyboards, mice. If “bad” indicators occur, enter the entered data as probable, containing data errors. And in extreme cases, completely block data entry. Additionally, it is possible to massively record how the user responds to the program interface. How he “reacts” to program messages. What stages in the program interface require more attention and focus from it.

    Developers of computer games, too, will not stand aside. Many players are very nervous when it is impossible to complete the next level, or even completely quit the game. In a new understanding, the game will really adapt to the player. If the user is overly excited, the game should simplify passing the line without bringing the user to white-hot. And vice versa, with complete calm, complicate the level. And finally, the computer “learns” from the mood to select musical compositions, change the desktop wallpaper and change the color scheme of windows to warmer or colder.
