Google Nearby could add home and device automation to Android
Post the WWDC announcements, we have an idea of where iOS is headed and Apple’s plan is to wrap up your peripheral life around the iPhone. With Nearby, Google could effectively allow computers and devices to sign-in to services, by using SlickLogin’s proprietary tech, which uses a combination of sound, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to sign users in. So on a device with Google Nearby enabled, third-party accessories could send alerts and notifications and if given the right permissions, could also trigger actions. Like Android Police says, “It’s easy to imagine Nearby coming in handy for extremely targeted Wallet offers, reminders, or other location-based interactions, but the important part here is that a user wouldn’t need to interact with their phone or tablet to let other devices know they are around. Switching on Nearby once would allow the functionality to work with all of a user’s devices.” The biggest possible application and one that Google will likely exploit after the WWDC announcements is home automation and Internet of Things.
