every day disruptive technology It brings its own behavior and misbehavior. In fact, mobile phone use already has its own syndrome, the so-called smartphone-his-zombie. Surely you’ve seen them roam the streets unaware of their surroundings, ignore traffic lights, or drive while checking out the latest social media updates. Maybe it was you who almost hit a lamppost while you were doing it. After all, even with advances in technology, we still only have two eyes and limited focus.But the same devices that have become ubiquitous distractions can be a remedy for these everyday hazards. technology researcher Researched at Purdue University, Indiana (USA). Their idea is to leverage his CCTV system in urban areas to not only collect video streams, but also warn pedestrians.one step closer to smart city.
Traditionally, smartphones used digital fingerprints, IP and MAC addresses, to connect to networks. In fact, the ever-increasing number of smartphones and computers is updating IP protocol versions to host these new devices. However, if I need to send a specific notification to a random pedestrian on the street, I have no way of determining his IP on my phone.Ah new way of communication These phones bypassing the need for IP required some ingenuity.To do so, researchers Private Human Addressing Protocol (PHADE). Therefore, when an individual enters the field of view of her CCTV camera, a unique address is generated based on its location and movement patterns. Information packages are then relayed to the regions. the recipient is PHADE-enabled pawn, to generate the corresponding footprint, so a notification pops up for each match. This notification can warn you of oncoming traffic, red lights, or criminal activity in your surroundings, as seen in one of the articles below. Applying AI to crime Prevention.
From streets to museums… to supermarkets
first test of this InnovationHowever, it was not performed on the street, but in a museum replica with a few visitors. The camera, of which he was able to assess whether one was looking at a work of art, and transmit information about it. In this experiment he had a 90% success rate in various situations. of course, Application of PHADE technology It goes far beyond city safety and museum visits. Researchers point out that it could also be used in supermarkets by providing information about promotions and special discounts depending on the buyer’s location.
