Tech giants Apple and Google are teaming up to create a system that would let smartphone users know when they've come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.
科技巨头苹果公司和谷歌公司将联手打造一个系统，让智能手机用户知道他们何时与新冠病毒感染者有过接触。
The technology would rely on the Bluetooth signals that smartphones can both send out and receive. If a person tests positive for COVID-19, they could notify public health authorities through an app. Those public health apps would then alert anyone whose smartphones had come near the infected person's phone in the prior 14 days.
这项技术将依赖于智能手机发送和接收的蓝牙信号。如果一名患者的新冠病毒检测呈阳性，他们可以通过一款应用程序通知公共卫生管理部门。这些公共卫生应用程序将向所有过去14天内其智能手机曾靠近患者手机的人发出警报。
The technology could be used on both Google Android phones and Apple iPhones.
这项技术可以在谷歌安卓手机和苹果iphone手机上使用。
The companies insist that they will preserve smartphone users' privacy. Smartphone users must opt in to use it. The software will not collect data on users' physical locations or their personally identifiable information. People who test positive would remain anonymous, both to the people who came in contact with them and to Apple and Google.
两家公司坚称，他们将保护智能手机用户的隐私。智能手机用户必须自主选择才能使用这一功能。该软件不会收集用户的实际位置数据或个人身份信息。新冠病毒检测呈阳性的人将对接触者以及苹果公司和谷歌公司保持匿名。
