Application of wearable devices: Suguang smart bracelet replaces fingerprint recognition

One is a sports bracelet, the other is a biometrics bracelet, how do they compare? Don’t worry, wait and see Superman Dad compare them, and then you will find out what Xiaomi Mi Band is thinking.

Do you remember the personal ID function of the Xiaomi bracelet that was briefly mentioned at the Xiaomi press conference in July 2014? This is the comparison we are discussing today.

What is a personal ID? I think an electronic ID is similar to a citizen's ID card on the Internet, which can be used to identify and distinguish individuals.

Let's first look at some applications of fingerprint recognition in personal identity ID. ​

Since fingerprints are determined by each person's genes and other factors, fingerprints are also unique, just like genes. Therefore, in our daily lives, we can come into contact with many fingerprint access control and fingerprint attendance machines that use fingerprints as personal IDs. Before appearing on mobile phones in recent years, fingerprint recognition was once available on some laptops.

Although the iPhone was not the first mobile phone to use fingerprint recognition, it was the first to be recognized by everyone. Later, we saw that Huawei Mate 7, Meizu MX4 Pro, and even the latest Samsung GS6 were equipped with fingerprint recognition.

On mobile devices, whether it is Android or iOS, unlocking the screen is one of the most basic applications of fingerprint recognition. Next, it is still unlocking: you can open various private files and information. Then, you can pay without a password. Therefore, the current functions of fingerprint recognition on mobile devices are nothing more than unlocking, unlocking, and then password-free.

As for future development, fingerprint recognition may be used to evaluate the user's physical health.

So how is the Xiaomi bracelet used as a personal identity ID?

Compared to the uniqueness of fingerprints, the Bluetooth address of each Xiaomi wristband as an ID is also unique within 2 to the 24th power (16777216). Relying on its internal storage and Bluetooth technology, it can meet the needs of many scenarios on the market that require the identification of personal IDs. It can even be said that, except for the field of criminal investigation, Xiaomi wristbands can replace all fingerprint identification.

Further extending, it can replace all keys. What else do you want to replace? Driver's license? Bank card? Bus and subway card? All are no problem. Based on whether the Internet is involved or not, let's look at a few specific scenarios. ​​

Specific applications of Xiaomi wristbands on the Internet

Of course, we must first talk about the currently popular online payment. When we pay online, we just enter a string of passwords that we think are safe, and then connect a U shield for protection when making large transactions. When there are multiple trading platforms such as Alipay, WeChat, and JD.com, multiple transaction passwords will definitely be confusing; when there are U shields from multiple banks such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Construction Bank, and Agricultural Bank of China, it is also inconvenient to carry. ​

After the Xiaomi wristband is involved, the mobile terminal can detect the wristband and pay without password for small transactions; the password and wristband can be used in conjunction to replace the U shield for large transactions. In this way, my mother no longer has to worry about me using ICBC to transfer money but inserting a CCB shield.

Of course, the application areas of online payment are not limited to mobile terminals.

The card reader on the bus can be improved and connected to the Internet, so that money can be directly deducted from the bank card by swiping the wristband when riding. Similar principles can be used in various payment scenarios such as subways, supermarkets, parking lots, and even ATM machines. So even if I am naked, as long as I wear a Xiaomi wristband, I can travel around the world.

I believe you have all encountered the following situation. For example, in order to write an article, you need to consult a lot of information, or download a software that looks particularly good and you have to log in to the relevant forum.

The general steps would be like this:

1. First recall whether you have registered in this forum before. You may try the username and password you often use for half a day. After multiple incorrect inputs, an extremely abnormal verification code may appear;

2. Finally I found out that I had registered! But the password was still wrong, so I went to log in to my email and reset the password step by step;

3. I finally logged into the forum, but what did I do? People like me who are forgetful often encounter this situation, and I am just dumbfounded! In the end, I am left there with a bitter smile... Some people even write down the usernames and passwords of various websites in a small notebook, and then look it up when they need to use it!

It will be very different when the Xiaomi wristband has a record function. In forums where you have not registered, it will automatically fill in the previously set registration information for you; in forums where you have registered, it will automatically fill in the user name and password. It can be used on mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and Android TVs!

Specific applications of Xiaomi wristbands without Internet

If it is only used to identify users, the Xiaomi bracelet can replace fingerprint recognition and various passwords to unlock the screen and open private files on the mobile terminal; it can easily enter various set doors, such as corridors, rooms, garages, and even cars.

Use the Xiaomi bracelet to enter the car, and after recognizing the user, the previous in-car mode can be restored, such as seats, lights, audio, navigation, etc. Reminiscent of the recent popular island country smart toilet lid incident, the Xiaomi bracelet can also recognize the user and make corresponding adjustments to the massage amplitude and heating temperature according to the previous settings.

I believe that in the near future, the storage function of Xiaomi wristbands will be able to store identity information and physical information, which will be immediately available when the public security, traffic police, and doctors need to check. If the storage space is slightly increased, it is not impossible to overturn the USB flash drive. With further development, your wrist will be able to hold all kinds of avi and rmvb stocks that you have accumulated for more than ten years.

Conclusion

Therefore, the Xiaomi bracelet actually does more than just handle the work of various cards and U-shields; it also serves as a personal assistant; it also serves as various keys; in the future it will even serve as Teacher Aoi’s work!

You may ask: If the Xiaomi bracelet is so important, what if it is lost? Have you ever thought about what to do if your fingerprint is stolen? Do you often lose your bank card, ID card, and driver's license? What if you lose them? What if you forget the passwords of various websites? What if you lose your house keys? What if the fruits you worked so hard to get with seeds are deleted? Haiyan, you should be more careful.

If it doesn’t work, Cuihua, try smart implants!
