In the first half of this year, Samsung and Apple successively launched their own tracking devices-Smartag and AirTag. For a time, "anti-lost artifacts" became a new battlefield for major giants.
Recently, Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. obtained a patent authorization for "Method and Device for Finding Items". The public number is CN106877911B, and the application date is January 2017.
According to the relevant description in the patent document, this technology can obtain the identification information of the searched item and compare the identification information with the pre-stored identification information in the database.
Wherein, the pre-stored identification is information related to the depositor of the stored item, and the identification information and the pre-stored identification information are voice information.
When the identification information matches the pre-stored identification information, storage location information corresponding to the pre-stored identification information is output, where the storage location information is used to characterize the item to be found. storage location.
In fact, to put it simply, the main function of Xiaomi's technology is basically the same as other "anti-lost artifacts", which are to track items. As for when Xiaomi will actually launch this product, it is still not known.
