And then my phone became smarter - A journey into the Awareness API

Let’s take a glance at the Awareness API and apply it to music recommendations.
The geeks have won ! We are all carrying tiny computers with lots of sensors.
With them, we can do more than display content, we can also make these devices aware of the world around us, making them smarter.
One way to do this is to leverage the Google Awareness API in order to have rich features with minimal input from the user.
It can trigger events when some conditions are put together : when you are close to a certain area, when you plug in headphones, when it is cold or sunny, etc
It can also be used to directly poll the sensors and get some information about the world around you.
Using all these capacities to facilitate your life, your device will know what to do and when to do it, with or without your input (as configured by the user). In this talk we will show you how to improve your music experience and take it to the next stage.

  1. Smartphones are very personal devices People have different ways to

    use them Your phone has a wealth of sensors Use them to make it smarter
  2. 50 The number of times people check their phone everyday

  3. 50 The number of times people check their phone everyday

    31% of people use their phone 
 to listen to music every day Source: The Consumer Barometer Survey 2014/15
  4. • Interacting with the sensors • Coordinate the detection together

    • Use as little battery as possible Fence : An abstraction for something you want to detect Lots of code to do it manually but comes for free with awareness Enter : The Awareness API
  5. Several types of fences : • Location • Detected Activity

    • Beacon • Time • Headphone Fence API
  6. @Override protected void onStart() {

 builder.removeFence(“fenceKey”); And also query them directly : FenceQueryRequest queryAll = FenceQueryRequest.all();
 FenceQueryRequest querySome = FenceQueryRequest.forFences("headphone", "walking");
 
 Awareness.FenceApi.queryFences(googleApiClient, queryAll)

  29. Awareness API : music streaming • Intuitive and easy to

    use • No restriction on the choice of the music application • Use Awareness API and available public APIs of music streaming services
  30. Magic Context - next iterations • More music services •

    More fences types • More actions : autoplay, fence modification or deletion, …
  31. Awareness Api : Privacy • The awareness api gives you

    access to very private information. • Make clear to the user what data you’re using and how you’re using it. • If you’re storing data to the device make it clear to the user and make it deletable.
