That's it functional of Google for mobile devices, Android, was at the heart of this year's I / O developer company in San Francisco.
Όπως σχολιάζεται σε σχετικό δημοσίευμα του Wired, ο κολοσσός της τεχνολογίας επέδειξε την πρόθεσή του να φέρει το Android κυριολεκτικά παντού. Ξεκινώντας έγινε presentation ενός preview του Android 5.0 L. Πρόκειται για την πρώτη φορά που η εταιρεία προσφέρει μία πρώιμη ματιά στην επόμενη γενιά του λειτουργικού της, το οποίο θα είναι διαθέσιμο προς download σε ενδιαφερόμενους developers.
A key feature of Android L (released in autumn) is its new design (material design, according to Google). In essence, developers will be able to add the illusion of depth.
There are also changes to the notifications procedures where the user will have direct access from the locked screen, so he can deal with it without unlocking the phone while the software will learn from the user's behavior to show him the most important updates for him.
There is also a new personal unlocking feature that looks at data such as location, Bluetooth, and even the user's voice footprint to confirm its identity, as well as a kill-switch function in case of device loss.
Google argues that L will be significantly faster than previous versions of its operating system, and will also support 64 bit processors. At the same time, an initiative by the company called Project Volta focuses on improving battery life on Android devices, including a new Battery Saver mode.
The features of the new Android will include the so-called Universal Data Control, which will allow the user to control how their data is shared on their device. It is noted that during the presentation, Sountar Pitsai, a senior executive of the company, said Android today has one billion active users of "30 days" (people who have used an Android device in the last month), and that Android now " holds "the 62% of the world's" pie "of tablets.
Also, Google I / O introduced changes and upgrades for Chrome in terms of mobile web experience, and Android Wear, which is intended for wearable devices.
This OS will support various screen layouts, while understanding the user's voice commands and synchronizing with the smartphone. It also gives you the ability to control other devices while utilizing Google Now's capabilities to provide useful information.
Android Auto was also announced at the conference for the use of applications and services in the car, with emphasis on navigation, communications and music, as well as on voice interaction.
The interface is specially adapted to the data of the car, while the upcoming release of an Android Auto SDK was also announced for those developers interested in creating applications for the car.
Also, Android TV was presented, which essentially treats television as another Android screen and is obviously focused on television shows and games, bringing Google Play on the screen.
Google also provided updates on Chromebooks, which are looking to integrate Android apps, while the company's moves in the office space were also presented - including plans for a new edition of Google Drive, for use in workplaces.
Beyond that, a new initiative, called Android One, was announced that aims to facilitate the development and marketing of smartphones with Google's operating system in the developing world, as well as Google Fit, "targeting" fitness.
