Cell Phones That Learn the Sounds of Your Life

- dryicerx 17y agoThis brings me to an off-topic idea along the same lines: Have your phone record everything with a rolling buffer of the last 5 minutes or so. If you ever have a important conversation, or get in a problematic situation, or just want to remember what someone said... you can just press a button and have the recorded buffer be saved (or listened back). Press to retrieve the last 5 minutes of sound
- chaosmachine 17y agoUnfortunately, recording conversations without asking permission first is illegal in a number of states. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws
- dryicerx 17y agoThis isn't telephone recording, this is ambient sound recording (everything that happens around the user, not telephone conversations). There is no law prohibiting that. Think of it like a Undo button for real life conversations.
- mahmud 17y agoAssuming your phone is plugged into an A/C charger at all times, sure, why not.
- ntoshev 17y agoThey used a jailbroken iPhone to run the app in background, but the paper gives no detail on the battery life they got.
- dejb 17y agoInteresting idea. Better to run it in the background though so you can still use other apps on your phone. Hopefully they'll make an Android or a WinMo version that can do this.
