Intel struggles to find solutions to enrich the user experience and will change depending on the platform Ultrabook. First glimpse of the efforts in this direction ...
Representatives from Intel were a few days in Paris to present the latest technologies developed in terms of mobility, data security, content distribution, etc.., All under the prism of Ultrabooks, this new generation of laptop that pushes the caster. Intel which gives two-year transition to the mobile platform Ultrabook reference. If the challenge is of course in hardware (machines create very fine performance and self less than $ 1,000), Intel explains that it is also software, and for good reason: how to design the a computer (or should) change with Ultrabooks.
It is no longer trying to offer the best user experience from a product, but to design computers starting from the user experience. The Ultrabook must be a machine always available, always connected, secure, personalized and sold at an affordable price. And that the best possible experience, Intel continues to develop all kinds of tools around its Ultrabooks.
There are changes made ??to start the broadcast protocol for wireless image WiDi which now supports 1080p and 5.1 sound, and free WiFi Direct routing to a box to be placed under the screen, manufactured by Intel partners , Belkin to Netgear via D-Link. WiDi now joined by Wireless Music. It's new, but the concept is the same as WiDi except that this interface is dedicated to her. A challenger to Apple's AirPlay designed for PCs, in fact.
Intel & Pair Share, to easily share the content of mobile
And that's not all, Intel has initiated work on a new concept called Compute Continuum, a system of wireless communication between the various terminals which allows the streaming of content from a smartphone or tablet to the PC. Via the program Pair & Share, the computer can be used to bridge the gap to the TV, and that in an instant it displays the contents of the terminal iOS or Android (photos of family meals, video the youngest who made ??his first steps, etc.). directly on his laptop which broadcasts on TV. The system is "open", and therefore compatible with various mobile OS available.
Like Teleport Extender (coming soon), which allows you to read - via WiFi - its text directly into an application launched on his computer. Ideal to communicate via SMS in total silence in a meeting, and see who is trying to join without having to leave his mobile from his pocket. Solutions that involve all PCs, not just those equipped with an Intel network card, what to report.
Another topic at the heart of Intel's concerns: security. That is why the Anti-Theft Program is supported by some new features, starting with a yellow triangle sticker to stick on his laptop which indicates that the machine is protected. A sticker which, according to Intel, would be a first deterrent, reducing flights by 50%. Do not count on us to argue about that, but rather to quickly return to the locking system of the machine remotely implemented. Not in software, but rather directly on the motherboard of the computer, acting even before the launch of the BIOS.
Once set, this anti-theft system makes it possible to disable its lost or stolen computer remotely (via a web interface), making it completely unusable, even by changing the hard disk or other. Moreover, provided you have activated the encryption, they are totally secure. On the screen lock is displayed, it is even possible to display a phrase such as "If you have found this laptop, thank you to contact Mr. X at the following number." This feature advanced Anti-Theft is present in all models Ultrabooks and just needs to be activated by manufacturers to operate. It is not yet the case in France, but it should be soon.
In the same vein, Intel has developed Identify protection that associated himself with the concept of virtual cards that can pay securely over the Internet. Maps that assign a random code used once and avoid having to enter their bank details online. The principle is the same with Identify Protection, except that the system is directly integrated into the heart of the system (in the chipset) and can be used by many Internet service providers, such as online banking or otherwise. Once the service is associated with his user account and computer, the code is generated automatically each time you wish to access it and it adds an extra layer of protection. This will prevent, for example, according to Intel, banks have to distribute these small code generation modules that secure access to online accounts.
In the "always connected", Intel has developed a fully configurable software solution that allows Ultrabooks standby to keep an eye on the arrival of e-mails, updates on social networks, and this kind of activity that we want to be updated only his laptop out of standby. Not to draw too much in reserves and allow the battery to maintain their good Ultrabooks autonomy, this little program allows you to set the interval at which the machine out of old, the tasks and the time it begins to return to standby. This will be especially useful when a regular WiFi networks known nearby, and even on machines with a 3G connection.
Finally, representatives from Intel came with a laptop with a processor Core i third generation under his arm. For a first contact with an Ivy Bridge platform that can not NES forces, unfortunately tell you anything ...
on the quality of mobile networks is available.
