At the annual conference of the I / O in San Francisco, Google introduced a new product Android @ Home - a future platform to work with any consumer electronic device using the interface provided by Google. The new platform enables you to control lighting, home electronics, car and media technology.
"We want to treat the house as compatible accessories, or, better yet, as a network of additional equipment and considering Android as the operating system for your home," - commented on the presentation team leader Android @ Home Joe Britt.
Managing a home with a single device - the idea is very old and its solution always depended on the absence of a uniform standard. Currently, such standards exist within a product line of one manufacturer. For example, with iPhone you can control the Apple TV, and using Windows Phone - Windows PC.
Google plans to solve this problem by developing a framework of universal Android @ Home is an open protocol, which can be used with any portable device including Apple iPhone and Microsoft Windows PC. According to the company's partners, the first tests will be carried out with mobile phones running Android, but soon other manufacturers are also taken up by this trend.
