June 20, according to foreign media reports, in the two-day Bloomberg "Tomorrow's Star Summit" (Next Big Thing), Silicon Valley's technology elite increasingly talk about a so-called "environmental cognitive Application" (contextually Aware applications) concept.

In short, this concept is that the application will become more and more intelligent, can better understand the user's intentions, can automatically work. All this is because of the sensors built into the mobile device. By using these sensors, the application can know where the user is and what they are doing, extracting information from GPS, calendar, social networking, itinerary, ambient noise and weather, and reacting accordingly.

So far, the most typical example of this kind of environmental cognitive application is Google now--, the smartphone Search Assistant software. But it can only be a future embryonic product.

In the future, applications will be responsible for people's dating arrangements, making the best route to avoid getting caught up in traffic jams, providing navigation information, finding parking spaces, and bringing documents and emails to meet them, according to media explanations. There is no need to do anything but make a meeting. Applications can even contact friends around the meeting location and arrange a social event.

Others call this trend "virtual digital assistant" (Avatar Digital Assistant).

Some of the following concepts may come true:

Follow a car designed for shared driving. And the current car has a different owner, in the future need to drive, users can log into a custom software console, which has a variety of parameters. Works just like the current computer allows multiple users to log on.

Innovations in medical equipment. These devices will not only tell you the rhythm of the bike after you know it, but also tell you things you don't know, such as how to adjust your fitness plan to lose weight more quickly. Sensors built into these devices can prescribe prescriptions for individuals, provide long-term treatment, and even manage diets.

Interference less wearable computing equipment. Whether the products such as Google Glasses can become the mainstream, or the same as the watch-free devices more popular has been the focus of debate. A watch-style product may start to react more, but everyone will later bring some voice-controlled devices, which are "virtual digital assistants" products.
