Re: Rules based policy engine

[Scott Derrick]

I thought about it awhile and decided that you could have the GPS engine get a fix every 5 minutes or some user adjustable time frame and use the last known fix. 99% of the time it would probably be close enough.

If GPS position is going to be a phone answering rule you would have to have the GPS sub system running all the time. It can't wake from sleep and acquire a position soon enough go be part of the decision. Not sure what that will do to battery life.

That's a valid point.

However, if a GPS dependant rule cannot get a fix (because it's off) in a timely fashion, the rule fails.

The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure.
