Learn about the movements of the owners of mobile devices can be learned only by their energy consumption. However, neither the GPS- or other such data is not required. New method shared by scientists from Stanford University.

Researchers at Stanford University have found an unconventional way to track the movements of smartphone users – for this they did not require any signal GPS, or stored on the smartphone data on access points Wi-Fi, which connects the device. Calculate a route they could only picture on energy devices.

Power consumption depends on a smartphone, consume much radio responsible for the connection to the base stations of cellular networks and communication. “Having power smartphone for some time (at least several minutes), you can compare it with a typical power consumption, studied in advance on all known routes of movement in a particular city”, – explained the researchers in their work.

That is, to know the user’s location anywhere in the world and his journey from this point of the new method does not allow it. But it will know what route traveled by the machine (and in which direction – from the point A to B or from B to A), an approximate knowledge of its initial location.

For data collection, the researchers developed Android app called PowerSpy

In a series of experiments, the authors were able to establish the accuracy of the method of determination of the route. Using 43 different data sets for four routes length of about 19 km, they were able to achieve the accuracy of the determination of the route at the level of 93%. Adding three more routes and eight data sets yielded 90.2% accuracy.

According to the researchers, the launch different applications on your smartphone while the application PowerSpy and making a call could not distort the energy is so strong that the method proved to be inoperative. The fact that these factors are not due to changes in the position of the device geometry. Therefore, the researchers were able to easily eliminate them using machine learning algorithms.

The authors of the method emphasize that Android-powered devices, any application can access the parameters of energy – it does not need to get the user to any permits, as in the case of access, such as a contact book or geolocation services. The method also allows you to track the current position to the user in advance a certain route in real time.

Good news for adventurers, backpackers and other lovers of “hiking” conditions. Created quite remarkable flashlight called Fogo.

This unique LED solution that is useful for camping fans, cyclists, hunters and fishermen.

The fact that the present invention not only acts as a light source. It is a digital compass, spare battery and a communication module (type Walkie Talkie).

The format of Fogo literally pocket

The device is lightweight, compact. The maximum brightness – about 1000 lumens.

In miniature housing built small screen, the transmitter GPS, battery 6800 mAh on the USB-type, digital radio adapter and Bluetooth LE (for synchronization with mobile gadgets).

The novelty will not get lost in an unfamiliar place. Went the wrong way, strongly deviated from the planned route? The unit starts flashing warning.

What’s cool: embedded software and sensors monitor the physical condition of the owner. The pulse is too fast? Was recorded blow? Fogo “asks” to confirm – if everything is normal.

If a person does not respond too long, flashlight “will call” to help (sending audio and text messages).

Home sales scheduled for September 2015. The authors of the project is now raising money to Kickstarter (for mass production of the prototype). The question price – $ 175.

Good news for Friday morning – Android application can follow you. Well, let me know, then okay, you and certainly never turn off GPS (a-ta-ta!). And if I tell you that the smartphone without your knowledge may include any camera and take pictures of you or the world around us? So welcome to a cat.

Shimon Sidor, a computer scientist and blogger, found a loophole in Android for espionage. There are apps in Google Play, who are trying to photograph the screen of your phone. But it’s still okay. I Antutu constantly asks the option to enable the camera. And these applications store in abundance. But it is also the beginning. After all, there are applications that do not ask for permission even. Just run the program and leave the active display. Everything else the phone will do itself. True, will display the camera screen, and if you have not gone, and sit with the phone in hand, you still see that the smartphone takes as you read twitter feed.

And here it comes Shimon Sidor. He developed an application (only for Nexus 5, but if that – further more), which displays the camera image size 1×1 pixel. At a density of 445 ppi display it can not be detected. Only if you suddenly eyes like an eagle.

In short, according to the Shimon, the findings are disappointing. Android can really turn your camera to take pictures of what he wants, and send the image to a private server. Complete with GPS it all allow you to make some bad man trouble. After hitrorukie villains will know where you are, who is close to you, and will even be able to examine the situation of your home. Interestingly, the answer is Google. And if they have time to answer before you buy a BlackPhone.
