Since Microsoft provides interfaces that support various sensors, future Windows 10 devices will meas out indicators such as temperature and carbon dioxide content.
Microsoft said last week, in the WinHEC meeting, the company is developing a unified sensor interface and universal driver for Windows 10, supports a large number of environment, biological, distance, medical and motion sensors. Microsoft will also enable Windows 10 to support the sensor that has not yet been published.
Document display, by supporting more sensors, Microsoft wants to add "new features" to PCs, smartphones, tablets, and electronic products running Windows 10.
Microsoft will allow Windows 10 to operate on PC, tablet, smartphones, smart devices, wearable devices, electronics, and Internet of Things. Microsoft also showed the futuristic Hololens holographic helmet running Windows 10. Windows 10 and Hololens may become a "launch station" for new sensor applications.
PcWorld said that device vendors can add air pressure, pollution, ultraviolet, temperature, altitude, and other sensors to Windows 10 devices. Through the driver, the motion detection sensor will be able to track the user's activities, such as the number of steps walking on a day, easy to exchange data with other Windows 10 devices. The motion detection sensor also considers the location of the equipment - in your pocket, in your hand or in the package, ensuring measurement accuracy.
Microsoft will also use sensors to improve users with Windows 10 devices interact. For example, an important selling point of Windows 10 is automatically switched between tablets and PC patterns, which can be achieved by sensor detecting notebooks in the hinge. Through a function called Windows Hello, Microsoft also uses sensors to add biometric identification functions for Windows 10 PCs and tablets.
Microsoft and HP executives said last month in a meeting, Windows 10 is more friendly than the previous Windows versions.
Similar to other hardware, the sensor needs to be identified and supported by Windows 10. The design goal of the general driver is to enable device vendors to configure various types of sensors for Windows 10 devices, without having to worry about driver development issues. Microsoft will also provide an independent development tool for manufacturers who want to develop independent sensor drivers to extend sensor hardware purposes.
Jim McGregor, Chief Analyst, Market Research, said that the sensor is widely used in various devices, and the unified driver interface helps Microsoft make Windows 10 to be applied to more electronic products, electrical appliances. And other data collection devices.
McGregor pointed out that more sensors supporting more sensors in Windows 10 are also a key part of Microsoft's involvement.
PCWorld indicates that device vendors can integrate sensors in mobile devices, but part sensors, such as monitoring temperature and pollution sensors, more likely to integrate in streetlights or traffic lights. McGregor said that as part of Microsoft "Mobile Priority, Cloud Priority" strategy, the data collected by these sensors can be sent to Azure for further analysis.
McGregore said, "You must support the most widely used applications, sensor data is critical."
Microsoft tries to unify the "winds and embedded version" mobile, PC and embedded version of the Windows operating system to Windows 10 big. Microsoft encourages the use of RBB and Qualcomm Dragonboard 410c (can run a custom version of Windows 10 called Athens Windows 10). With these board machines, DIY enthusiasts have developed robots integrated with a large number of sensors (market 300024, consultation), drone, health monitoring equipment, electronic products, and wearable devices.
Microsoft said on Winhec that the company will also make Windows 10 run on a single board such as self Sharks Cove and Intel Minnowboard Max. Such panels have ports such as GPIO, SPI, I2C, and UART that can connect motion, imaging, and other sensors.
