Smart ring "EVERING" links with smart locks from March 15th
The smart ring "EVERING", which was launched in October 2021, attracted attention in various places as a ring -type device specialized in "payment". About half a year later, EVERING announced the implementation of new features. The function is added as a "key". From March 15, in cooperation with the smart lock, the door can be locked and unlocked by simply holding the ring. The core of Eating is three technologies: NFC Ring Technology, VISA touch payment function, and Financial Technology. Non -contact payments were also realized by combining the NFC -compatible IC chips installed inside the ring and the Visa prepaid card function. This smart ring support is also applied, and can be used as it is with the ever -sold Eating. The payment function of the event proposed a smart style of "shopping smartly without putting out a wallet or smartphone", but this time this smart lock cooperation is "always locked" "Lock even if your hands are blocked". It can be possible. " In order to use the function, in addition to the event, the smart lock "BitLock mini" and "BitReader +" provided by the bitter are required. To use, install Bitlock Mini and BitReader + on the door, then register the device with the Homehub application. At the moment, it does not work with other companies' smart locks, but there is a possibility that the service will increase in the future. Bitlock mini and BitReader + can be purchased separately via bitter, but in the event, the "Bitlock 2 -year contract Value Plan" is lower. The price is 23,920 yen for the first year, 5980 yen for the second year (the minimum contract period is 2 years). There are three sets: BitLock Mini and BitReader +, and "BitLink", which enables remote control of smart locks. Ken Kawada, CEO of the Co -owner, explained that "smart lock cooperation is the first event in the event. We will increase the number of connection destinations and aim for more smarter in society." 。 He showed the possibilities of health care, entertainment, and use in sharing services. We are currently selling for individuals, but we will consider selling corporate in the future. We will appeal as a device for entering/leaving/entering/leaving the office. Prior to the full -scale development, we first recruit monitor companies with 10 companies. Limited to 100 units, 10 % of the number of purchases will be provided as a privilege. (BCN / Daisuke Okura)
