It keeps statistics and records of your door’s locks, unlocks, and who have visited.
Motion Pillow
It’s a pillow developed for anyone who has a snoring(打鼾)problem. The solution box detects, records, and analyses the sleeping person’ s snoring patterns. By changing the internal airbag’ s pressure, it fixes the position of the sleeping person’ s neck and head gently to improve their breathing. Three layers of noise-reducing material minimize the user’ s sleeping disturbance.
Aō Air
It’s a high-tech face-covering wearable air purifier with no tight seal on the mouth and nose. The purifier pulls air inside through a filtration(过滤)process and uses fans to create a clean area in front of the device. It’s designed in such a way that it can clean more than 98% of PM2.5 through filtration.
