Microsoft Developed Cloud-Based GPS, Energy Saving And ...

GPS apps on the mobile phone has always been a power-hungry. However, with cloud-based GPS, the equal sign between GPS apps and power consumption will be cut off.

According to to TechnologyReview reports, Microsoft researcher has developed a very power-saving and efficient cloud-based GPS chip. The GPS chip on mobile end only accept the most important data from the satellite, and other critical data comes from public online database, this reduces the time of the phone to receive data from the satellite. Then, because the calculation of these data is in the cloud, which in turn reduces the energy consumption of mobile phones.

Microsoft?s R & D center, chief researcher Jie Liu said in an interview, originally the smart phones get the initial GPS fix can take up to 30 seconds of data communications with satellite, and their technology made this process reduced to a few milliseconds. Also data calculation is working in the cloud, GPS apps? power consumption will be reduced to a very low level.

The significance of reduce the energy comsumption of GPS chips not only lies to enhance the battery life of mobile devices, but also means that the GPS can be ported to more low-power consumption devices. Because the time and energy is reduced when calculating the location, the application developers can add more elaborate and rich features in the GPS apps.

If Microsoft?s cloud-based GPS can be applied in life in a short period of time, does this mean that Microsoft?s attempt to entry into the mobile end will be more smoothly?
