Microsoft to teach Mobile Manners
Posted on Jun 5, 08 10:28 AM PDT
Microsoft aims to impart manners on your mobile device by creating device manners policy (DMP), and the company is pretty intent on patenting it as well.
Such policy may be used to communicate to various mobile and other devices the “manners” with which compliance is expected or required. Similar to some of the social manners honored among people, such as with “no smoking” or “employees only” zones, “no swimming” or “no flash photography” areas, and scenarios for “please wash your hands” or “no talking out loud”, devices may recognize and comply with analogous “device manners” policy.
What do you make out of this effort? Is it worthwhile or a waste of everyone's time?
