To make this happen in fast fashion:
10. Context Awareness - "GPS technology has made navigating the globe seamless, eliminating the need for road maps and detailed directions from friends. But GPS has limitations. As soon as you walk indoors, that GPS connection is broken. Whereas 2012 was the year of buzz around indoor navigation, 2013 will elevate to the next level: “context awareness.” Context awareness goes beyond navigation by culling data from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and sensors in your phone to provide you with intelligent information on your location and surroundings. So perhaps you’re in Best Buy in the TV section and you receive a coupon real-time for a 5% discount on Smart TVs. Or your phone alerts you that you need to leave now for a meeting because there was an accident on the freeway and it’s going to take twice as long as usual. Oh, and bring an umbrella because it’s raining where you’re headed. Smartphones keep getting smarter."
That is going to require fast network issues, combined with little processing overhead on the CE device. e.Digital has the I/O process covered across a network and the CE device....however, the efficency of the data processing on the server end must be as speedy in delivering that real-time most recent discount cupon.
With that, e.Digital also has the micro-controller issues covered for the CE device, you know, that nasty most enlightening re-exam we went through of 774, in sensing when to turn on the right collective components when needed to the network circuits.
