I-Google kanye ne-Apple bahlangane ngesonto eledlule ukuze bakhe ithuluzi elihlukaniselwe izindawo zokulandelela ukuthintwayo, elizosiza abantu babone ukuthi bake bachayeka yini kothile one-Coronavirus - COVID-19. Manje, zombili izinkampani sezikuqinisekisile ukuthi zizoqala ukukhipha ama-API amathuluzi azo amasha ezinhlelweni zokusebenza ze-Android ne-iOS, kusukela maphakathi noMeyi.
Ngenkathi i-Apple izokwenza ukuthi lesi sici sitholakale kuwo wonke amadivayisi we-iOS 13, i-Google ithi izoyibuyekeza Izinsizakalo ze-Google Play ngesofthiwe entsha kuwo wonke amadivayisi I-Android 6.0 Marshmallow nezinguqulo zakamuva.
Esigabeni sokuqala sephrojekthi emasontweni ezayo, ama-API okulandelela othintana naye azotholakala kuziphathimandla zezempilo zomphakathi eziqinisekisiwe ukuze ziwafake ezinhlelweni zazo ezisemthethweni ze-COVID-19.
I-Google kanye ne-Apple bethula i-Coronavirus Tracking API - i-COVID-19 ye-Android, i-iOS ngenyanga ezayo
Isigaba esilandelayo sizobandakanya indlela yangempela yokulandelela othintana naye wezinga lesistimu, ezosebenza kumadivayisi e-Android ne-iOS ngokuzikhethela.
Lokho, nokho, kuzoqala ukwenzeka "ezinyangeni ezizayo". Akukacaci ngokushesha ukuthi isoftware izoba ngumthombo ovulekile yini, kodwa i-Google ithi izohlinzeka ngokuhlolwa kwekhodi ezinkampanini ezifuna ukusebenzisa uhlelo olufanayo.
Ngokusho I-TechCrunch, ubuchwepheshe buzosebenzisa amabhakhoni e-Bluetooth ukudlulisa ama-ID angahleliwe, angaziwa ngezikhathi ezimfushane ukuze kutholwe ukuthi umsebenzisi ubelokhu esondelene yini nomuntu onegciwane le-Coronavirus. Izokwenza lokhu ngokuthola amadivayisi aseduze okungewabantu asebehlolelwe ukuthi bane-HIV.
Uma isistimu ithola enye yalawo madivayisi endaweni, umsebenzisi uyaziswa, okumvumela ukuthi ahlolwe futhi azivalele.
Kodwa-ke, lobu buchwepheshe sebuvele buphakamisa ukukhathazeka kobumfihlo, abanye ochwepheshe becaphuna amacala eChina lapho kusolwa ukuthi uhulumeni usebenzisa umkhondo wokuxhumana njengezaba zokuhlola izakhamizi zawo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Google ne-Apple bathi bathatha zonke izinyathelo zokuphepha ukuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kabi kohlelo olusha.
Okokuqala, bathi i-API izokhawulelwa kuphela ezinhlanganweni zezempilo zomphakathi ezigunyaziwe emazweni ahlukene. Okwesibili, imininingwane izohlukaniswa, okwenza kube nzima ukuthi ohulumeni baqaphe.
Futhi uyacabanga? Ingabe ohulumeni bazoyisebenzisa kabi le datha? Shiya amazwana ngezansi.
