谷歌研发新地震警报系统手机秒变地震仪

你有没有想过自己的手机有一天会变成地震仪？安卓手机用户不必安装任何APP，就能在地震来临时收到警报。目前这一地震警报系统只覆盖了美国加州，但谷歌表示这一系统有望给全球发出地震警报。

谷歌宣布，安卓手机将能用来感知世界各地的地震，也许有一天还能给全球发出地震警报，首个大众警报系统于8月11日在美国加州上线。

Google, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the US Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the commonplace mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning telling them to drop to the floor and seek cover.

安卓手机的研发公司谷歌与加州和美国地质调查所合作，在所有运行安卓操作系统的手机中植入了地震警报系统。开通了定位功能的安卓用户在4.5级以上地震来临时将收到全屏显示的地震警报，告知他们伏在地上，寻找掩护。

The screen also will provide estimates of the quake’s magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.
