FAQ
Here we are going to answer the frequent asked questions about
hipoqih,
but if you still have some doubts you can get the
user guide for hipoqih
or send us an e-mail to
users support
and we will contact you to solve it.
What do I need do to use hipoqih?
Just register in the Web as an user and afterwards install the plugin
in the terminals that you want to use.
It is not necessary to pay anything,
hipoqih is totally free.
What type of terminals can be used?
A
hipoqih terminal is a system that has installed the
plugin and access to Internet. It can be a desktop PC, portable PC, PDA, Java Phone, etc.
Is it necessary to have a GPS?
The greater utility of
hipoqih is obtained if you have
a geolocalization system. At the moment we are implementing the GPS.
In the future we are going to have interfaces for other systems.
If you do not have GPS you can use
hipoqih, but in
limited forms, because you are going to have to indicate manually to
the plugin the coordinates of the place where you are, so you can
receive the alerts emitted for that localization.
What type of alerts I can record?
Initially we are going to codify a series of types of alerts and we are going to try
to convince different organisms and organizations to register
in
hipoqih so they emit alerts. We will
inform of any changes about this in the Web. In any case, if you want some type of warning
unsupported, send us a mail and we'll try support.
Can I record private alerts?
Yes, of course. When recording a private alert you must
establish an access key. You can provide this access key to anyone you want to share
the alert with. At any time you can discharge the alert, change the key alert
or consult the list of users who are subscribed to it.
How does the plugin work?
Plugin is a program that settles in the terminal you have. When starting
communicates to the server of
hipoqih where you are. From that moment
plugin listens to the alerts sent from the
hipoqih server
and shows them in your terminal. It also communicates in periodic sets of time your shifts of position.
At any moment you can monitorize the plugin activity,
to stop it, or to change the configuration.
When is plugin for my system of location going to be available?
It depends on the type of system that you have. The beta version of plugin is going to work
with PDA with Windows Mobile, PC with Windows XP, phones with Windows Smartphone, Nokia S-60 and BlackBerry.
From that moment we'll develop it for the greater number of terminals possible (GNU/Linux, Mac OS).
If you want a concrete date for
hipoqih in your terminal send a e-mail to
support.
Can somebody locate me using hipoqih?
No, if you don't want to be found. In
hipoqih we put all means necessary to guarantee
the security and confidentially of the whole system. In any case, if at a certain moment
you do not want that the server of
hipoqih sees your position,
you can stop the plugin, so the server erases your last position.
Can anybody follow me using hipoqih?
No, the
hipoqih server only keeps the last position send by the plugin.
It doesn't keep an historical of the places where you have been.
