Ondrej Holzman Chaka choyamba chinali kutali kwambiri ndi mapu a Apple, koma kampani yaku California siinagonje ndipo pogula kampani ya WifiSLAM, ikuwonetsa kuti ikufuna kupitiliza nkhondoyi pamapu. Apple idayenera kulipira pafupifupi madola 20 miliyoni (korona 400 miliyoni) pa WifiSLAM.
Kunena kuti Apple "amagula makampani ang'onoang'ono aukadaulo nthawi ndi nthawi", wolankhulira Apple adatsimikiziranso zonse zomwe zachitika, koma adakana kufotokoza zambiri. WifiSLAM, yemwe ali ndi zaka ziwiri zoyambira, amagwiritsa ntchito matekinoloje ozindikira zida zam'manja mkati mwa nyumba, zomwe zimagwiritsa ntchito chizindikiro cha Wi-Fi. Joseph Huang, yemwe kale anali injiniya wa mapulogalamu ku Google, ndi woyambitsanso kampaniyo.
Ndi sitepe iyi, Apple ikulimbana ndi Google, yomwe imapanganso mapu amkati amatenga masitepe ake. Mamapu omwe Apple adagwiritsa ntchito m'malo mwa Google Maps pazida zake sanachite bwino komanso pambuyo pake Kupepesa kwa Tim Cook Madivelopa ku Cupertino adayenera kukonza zolakwika zambiri, koma zikafika pamapu amkati, Apple ikulowa m'gawo losadziwika komwe aliyense akungoyamba kumene.
Njira zosiyanasiyana zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito kudziwa malo mkati mwa nyumba, mwachitsanzo, komwe GPS sithandiza. Mwachitsanzo, Google imaphatikiza zinthu zingapo nthawi imodzi: malo omwe ali pafupi ndi Wi-Fi, deta yochokera ku nsanja zolumikizirana pawailesi ndi mapulani omangira omwe adakwezedwa pamanja. Ngakhale kuyika mapulani ndi njira yayitali, Google ikuchita bwino mpaka pano, italandira mapulani opitilira 10 kuchokera kwa ogwiritsa ntchito ochokera kumaiko osiyanasiyana padziko lonse lapansi. Kupatula apo, zidatenganso nthawi yayitali kuti datayo ilowe mu Google Street View, koma zotsatira zake zinali zoyenera.
WifiSLAM, yomwe tsopano ndi ya Apple, sinaulule ukadaulo wake, koma imati imatha kuloza malo omwe nyumba ili mkati mwa 2,5 metres pogwiritsa ntchito ma siginecha ozungulira a Wi-Fi omwe alipo kale patsamba. Komabe, WifiSLAM sapereka zambiri zantchito zake, ndipo atagula, tsamba lake lonse lidatsekedwa.
Ngakhale mapu amkati akadali akhanda, Apple ikulepherabe mpikisano. Mwachitsanzo, Google yatseka mgwirizano ndi makampani monga IKEA, The Home Depot (wogulitsa mipando yaku America) kapena Mall of America (malo ogulitsa ku America), pomwe Microsoft imati ikugwirizana ndi malo asanu ndi anayi akuluakulu aku America, pomwe njira yopangira mamapu mkati mwa nyumba zomwe zidayambitsidwa mu Bing Maps ndikulengeza malo opitilira 3 omwe akupezeka mu Okutobala watha.
Koma sikuti Apple, Google ndi Microsoft. Monga gawo la "In-Location Alliance", Nokia, Samsung, Sony Mobile ndi makampani ena khumi ndi asanu ndi anayi akupanganso ukadaulo wodziwa malo m'nyumba. Mgwirizanowu mwina umagwiritsa ntchito ma siginecha a Bluetooth ndi Wi-Fi.
Nkhondo ya mutu wa nambala wani pakujambula mkati mwa nyumbayo ndiyotseguka ...
