nut Smart Anti-lost Patch: Small in size, but great in application

In the early days of wearable devices 1.0, any powerful gadget would make us stand out from the crowd. But when wearable devices enter the popular development period, what we seek will no longer be just novelty and fun stimulation, but more practical and convenient applications.

The first generation of Nut smart anti-lost patch launched by Beijing Zizai Technology Company is a so-called "small in size and powerful in function" micro wearable device. The smart anti-lost patch is a smart device for anti-lost objects based on Bluetooth technology and mobile Internet.

The size of this smart anti-lost patch is: 39mm*39mm*7mm; although it comes in four beautiful colors: white, pink, blue and green, and is relatively small in size, the overall shape still needs to be improved. The square shape is not easy to please consumers. I personally suggest adding designs with various appearances suitable for men, women, children, the elderly, pets, key chains, etc., to increase consumer selectivity and expand the user base.

The UV coating used overall is smooth and has a good feel, but the back is a bit dull; more importantly, this light-colored coating is easy to change color and look old. In the process of daily use and friction, light-colored products cannot keep users' love for too long. Although light colors are slightly fresh, dark colors are more practical.

The packaging shell is made of sufficient material, tempered plastic, strong and shatter-resistant; it is not only conducive to resisting damage during the logistics process, but also can meet the secondary use of consumers, such as: coin purses, jewelry boxes, ashtrays, dog food bags, etc. This packaging box is small and convenient, and tightly sealed.

The inside of the package comes with a detailed introduction to help consumers understand the product intuitively. After all, in this era of fast consumption, few consumers will stop and listen carefully to your explanation of this new product with many uses and complex operations, and it is just a micro wearable device.

Although the introduction of nut products focuses on the connection and search between keychains and mobile phones, the extended functions still give this product more use value, such as: travel bags that are lost at any time, naughty and active pets, neglected young children, slightly forgetful elderly people, and any person or thing that may be lost. I personally suggest that a couple model can be developed to facilitate communication and contact between couples in love. Of course, the details of the design still need to take into account the right of use of the party with severe control desire.

The package comes with a complete after-sales service card and product manual, which not only provides warranty regulations and anti-counterfeiting marks, but also provides a detailed operating guide. Although the entire operating guide is detailed and orderly, I personally think that the connection process between the patch and the mobile phone is still a bit complicated. For electronic device enthusiasts, it is just a piece of cake, but for female users who are not good at research, their interest in using it is often greatly reduced due to the complexity of the operation.

The small patch uses a CR2032 button battery. When you pry open the interlayer to install the battery, the chip and circuit will be clearly visible. This design can be said to be insufficiently protective of the chip and circuit. At the same time, the waterproof effect is even more vulnerable. It is expected that it will not even be able to withstand the most basic human sweat, not to mention stormy and snowy weather. In addition, it cannot withstand the slightest saliva of a pet dog.

Let's talk about the core two-way anti-lost function of this smart patch: when the phone and the nut leave the set distance, the phone and the nut will alarm in both directions. First, the user sets the warning distance in the APP interface of the phone. If the nut and the item are forgotten, the phone will sound an alarm in time; secondly, if the lost nut is beyond the warning range, the approximate location of the nut can be found through the map positioning in the mobile phone APP.

Nut, which is based on Bluetooth 4.0 technology, connects to the mobile phone by downloading the mobile application APP. Therefore, registering user information is the first step in the connection.

During the registration process, the page displays the core introduction of the nut application: easy to find items, prevent forgetting and preventing loss.

After successful registration, you can log in. The first recommended method is to register and log in using your mobile phone number. Of course, users can also choose to register and log in using Sina Weibo or QQ account. A variety of registration methods make it easy for users to choose.

At present, although nut F3 has realized multi-task management, can manage 20 items at the same time, and can connect 6 items online at the same time; but I personally think that the entire APP download and installation process is still too complicated. This alone will exclude many female users and elderly users.

The reception range of the nut patch connected to the mobile phone is about 30 meters indoors and about 50 meters outdoors. If the lost range exceeds this distance, you can also determine the search location through Gaode Map.

Summary: In an era of constantly updated wearable devices, a smart anti-lost patch that costs only a few dozen yuan is extremely practical. Although the product still has many criticisms, as the first generation of Nut's smart patch, it can only show that it still has a lot of room for development and growth, and this also requires more users and consumers to pay attention to and experience it.
