[Vision]Use your sailfish device everywhere(mobile & stationary)
asked 2014-02-16 10:36:55 +0200
I still have the dream of having one (smartphone) device (my jolla phone for example) that I can
- carry with me everywhere
- plugin everywhere (TV, car, monitor,...)
- use best suitable input/output according to the scenario (e.g. build-in keyboard,, touchscreen, office keyboard, car steering,... / smartphone display, TV, Monitor, car on board display)
- carry my data with me , because it's on the core device...
So what would we need for that?
Input/Output for mobile use
The core device / phone uses best input methods that suits in your pocket. So here touch display with either good ondisplay keyboard or hardware keyboard is needed.
Input/Output for office use
It's necessary to use your office keyboard and mouse to be connected to your phone on the one hand and your monitor on the other hand. While doing that via bluetooth, usb <-> hdmi it is still necessary to connect to power. So actually the usb port is to be powered and can't be used for connecting keyboard/mouse at the same time. The other thing is that the device should have a hdmi output possibility (via separate connector or via usb). Thes thoughts include a possible mouse pointer, support for hd resolutions and so on...
Input/Output in front of yor TV
Connect it via HDMI to your TV, use a gyroscope remote control (usb) to add keyboard and mouse functionality to your scenario (look for example measy rc11). So you can control your device mouse pointer like with a Wii controler and have a mini keyboard as well for input - not larger than a standard tv remote.
Input/Output in car
Bluetooth connections for audio (music/telephony) to use the in car speakers. HDMI connection to the car board display with touch ui - optionally also use the steering whell buttons to control volume, next/previous,mute.
So you can imagine more and more scenarios in which you always use the best input / output methods of the special scenario. But - use your phone as your central unit, that you always carry with you. It should be powerful enough to get internet connection in every scenario and adapt to the different input/output devices to get optimal user experience.
Imagine a Jolla device that features HDMI output, Bluetooth, USB and that dream could come true...
I dream that dream already from ancient Maemo times - perhaps you remember my ligthning talk in Berlin and what parts of that dream were possible with the Nokia tablets there.
Reality or vision? Maemo tablets for mobile and desktop use.
