The American university MIT has developed a technique for using the camera of a phone to exchange data between a desktop and an Android smartphone. The app Deep Shot works with a url-related standard.
In addition to an app on the smartphone should also be on the desktop or laptop is a piece of code run to Deep Shot. Deep Shot uses of uri, the ‘moedertechniek’ of url. The camera software identifies the uri and then opens the relevant page on the phone. That do not communicate with a wireless network, reports Smarter Technology. To open the page, is of course an internet connection is required. MIT and Google are working together on the app, which is now a proof-of-concept.
If the user data to the pc wants to send from the phone, the camera of the phone to the desktop or laptop to identify. If that is successful, transmit the app data to the pc, after which the corresponding application can be opened and the data will be loaded. How the uri to the desktop or laptop is being sent, is unclear.
The app is still limited and only works with Google Maps and Yelp. Although the technique works differently, there are already ways to get such data transfer: the extension Chrome to Phone makes it possible, for example, web pages from Googles Chrome browser to an Android phone to push. Left open by the camera of a phone is somewhere on target with qr codes, would have the advantage here that a link does not need to be converted into a qr code.
