New patent of HTC smart light bulb, which can detect whether anyone is there?

In addition to smart speakers for listening to songs and gagging, and smart cameras for "monitoring" cat owners, light bulbs have now become a part of smart homes. According to foreign media slashgear, HTC is applying for a patent for a smart light bulb that can detect whether someone falls. This smart light bulb makes use of some technologies of VR head-mounted display equipment and has a built-in sensor that can detect the state of objects. According to the echo characteristics of different objects, this smart light bulb can sense whether someone has fallen, and if so, it can also emit a movable beam to determine whether people are still alive. Although the function looks very complicated, judging from HTC's light bulb design, there is not much difference between the shape and usage of this product and ordinary light bulbs. This smart light bulb is an integrated light bulb device, and the sensor is also built into the light bulb. Users only need to plug the light bulb into a standard socket and connect it to the smart home system designated by HTC. (Figure | HTC) In theory, this light bulb is suitable for all types of rooms, but HTC suggests that it is best to install this smart light bulb in the bathroom. Because the bathroom is the most slippery place in the home, it is most prone to slip and fall accidents; Moreover, the bathroom space is relatively narrow, and the detection function of smart bulbs is more effective. In addition to detecting whether someone falls, this smart light bulb can also be used to remind people whether they have been sitting for too long. The principle is similar to detecting whether someone falls. When the light bulb detects that a person has been staying in the room for a long time, the light bulb will give a reminder to the user in the room not to keep a posture for a long time. This smart light bulb may become part of the upcoming HTC Internet of Things smart home system, and of course it may also be owned by Google. After all, compared with the smart home system where HTC is still in its infancy, Google already has a relatively complete and mature smart home system represented by NEST. It is still inconclusive in what form this smart light bulb will eventually go on the market, but in any case, I hope HTC can succeed in using VR technology to "save the country by curve".
