Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, September 5 (Xinhua)-- as early as May, it was reported that Google was developing a built-in snoring and cough detection feature for Android, and now new evidence suggests that this feature will be provided through Digital Wellbeing.

Google previously introduced this feature for the second generation of Nest Hub, which was launched in partnership with Soli. Today's beta update (version 1.2.x) of Digital Wellbeing shows that the "cough and snoring test" will be part of the "sleep pattern", according to 9to5Google.

To track the extent of coughing and snoring "at your scheduled bedtime", snoring and cough tests are manually enabled and microphone access is allowed, which will be integrated with existing Google Clock, which can determine how long a user sleeps based on the phone's rest time in the dark.

The Digital Wellbeing app provides a chart of weekly snoring and coughing views, as well as "average cough times" and "average snoring times". It can also report that "you don't cough or snore at a scheduled bedtime."

In terms of usability, it is not clear whether the feature will apply to all devices with Digital Wellbeing or whether it will be limited to Pixel phones.

CTOnews.com learned that Digital Wellbeing is an initiative proposed by Google in its 2018 Google I / O campaign to help users teach users how to balance their digital and real lives. The Digital Wellbeing app lets Android users know how long they spend on their devices, how often they unlock their phones and the notifications they receive. They can also set time limits to limit the amount of time they spend on their phones.
