“We are really excited to receive this award” said Ofer Tziperman, CEO for Anagog. “This was a result of an unbelievabale team work at Anagog over a long time. The fast addoption of our mobility status technology by so many app developers from all over the world, gave us the opportunity to provide an exciting fast growing crowdsourced parking service. I would like to thank the GSMA for recognizing the innovation that we bring to the mobile market with our technology. And obviously a special thanks to each and every one of our talented and dedicated engineers who made it possible.”
The Anagog mobility status SDK allows detection of a user’s real-time mobility status with an ultra-low battery consumption. The Anagog SDK can tell for example if the user is currently walking, driving, at home or at work. It can detect automatically when and where he parked his car, if he is riding a bus, enters or exits a predefined zone, and more. Such mobility status detection enables the best context-aware applications and services and drastically improves the user’s experience.
Furthermore, Anagog’s mobility status SDK can even provide certain levels of predictions on the user’s activities. For example, it can tell a few minutes before the user will vacate his on-street parking space. This predictive information, when collected simultaneously from multiple users, provides the most powerful crowdsourced parking network. Drivers can be notified in real-time about soon to be vacated parking spaces in their vicinity and get guidance there. The system even knows to refer only the desired number of drivers to the same vacating space.
Anagog is deploying the SDK globally via a B2B model, where other B2C app developers are implementing the mobility status SDK in their apps and are providing services based on the SDK to their users. Anagog, on its part, is also providing to its partners a real-time crowdsourced parking network based on all the real-time parking vacating events collected from all SDK users globally. Furthermore, Anagog is also sharing with its partners other insights from the big data collected by it that can serve to enrich the user experience even further.
