Google added four new features to the Android smart phone operating system, including a feature to manage the battery of the phone, a feature for personal safety in times of danger, a new feature for "sleep mode", as well as modifications to the voice memos application, to work through an assistant Google's digital voice.

Adaptive Battery

According to a post posted by "Google" in the products section on its official blog, the feature of the battery is to modify the battery management program, to work based on the "machine learning" technique, which tracks the usage patterns of applications on the phone, the usual times of use, and the duration of use, Then do a scheme to give energy to each application or prevent it according to the use pattern, so that no application or software component or from the components of the phone itself get any amount of energy, except based on the use pattern, and in the appropriate quantities.

Based on this matter, the battery will be able to “adapt” to the actual consumption requirements. Therefore, Google called this feature “Adaptive Battery”, and confirmed that it is a feature that will extend the battery life a lot, because the applications and components in the phone will not get power, Except in cases of need and actual use only.

«Personal safety»

Google has also developed a personal safety feature to be an integrated program, which the phone owner sets to work during emergencies and in situations of danger.

The first function of the program is to detect sounds in the surrounding environment, to identify sounds indicating danger or emergency situations, foremost of which are the sounds accompanying car crashes, since in this case the program attempts to receive any reaction from the owner of the phone, indicating his safety , And that he is not in a position to send a danger alert, and if the program does not get a response within a certain time, he immediately sends an alert to the contacts identified by the phone owner, or to all of the contacts registered with him. The alert includes information about a car collision or otherwise, and it automatically shares the location of the phone, with all or all of the specified contacts, via Google Maps.

A second job

As for the second job that the personal safety feature performs, it is to send danger alerts in the previous way, in other emergency situations, while traveling or trips, or to go walking or running, entering a dangerous area, or otherwise, and the property is set to receive the response from the owner The phone during a specific period, to ensure its personal safety, and if this time has passed without the phone receiving a response, it takes the same action, which it takes when monitoring the sounds of a car collision, which is issuing an alert to previously identified contacts, or to all contacts, with the sharing of the site Through Google Maps in real time.

"Quiet sleep"

And «Google» also developed the feature of sleep mode, as it added many improvements to it, so that once it is turned on, it puts the phone in a state of complete sleep, no alerts or notifications from any application at all, with complete darkness of the screen, and the operation of the sleep status sensor, then calculating sleep time , From the start of sleep until the moment of awakening, and to keep all notifications and events recorded by the phone during this period, to be ready for display after awakening.

And if the user remains awake on his phone after bedtime, he will get a glimpse of the amount of time spent awake, and any of the applications he used at those moments.

"Voice memos"

The fourth feature is to link the application of recordings or voice memos, to work through Google's digital voice assistant side by side in the traditional way, which is based on the selection of operating orders from the touch screen, but the new feature makes the user can speak to the phone saying: «Hello ( Google), start recording a voice note », then the phone will run the voice memos tool, then record the sound, and put it in a removable file and attached to any other document or file, such as text, image, or PDF or otherwise, found on the phone, or Google Docs has Google Drive storage service.

Gradual arrival

The technical director of programs at Google Company, Todd Tokyoda, said in the post published by the company that the four new features were implemented exclusively on Google Pixel phones, since the beginning of this month, while it is expected that they will gradually reach the rest of the phones operating with the system « Android »next fall.
