The Kizon is worn by children but is really meant for parents -- letting
them know where their kids are at all times with GPS, Wi-Fi, and a
direct call button.
LG
Electronics (LG) will extend the wearable experience to parents with
children with its new KizON wristband. KizON is LG’s new wearable
designed exclusively for pre-school and primary school children that
offers parents a convenient way to keep track of their young children’s
whereabouts. Utilizing GPS and Wi-Fi, KizON provides real-time location
information allowing parents to track their children’s whereabouts on a
smartphone.
With
One Step Direct Call, parents can easily communicate with their
children as well as providing them with information on the location of
their children throughout the day. And parents aren’t the only ones who
can use KizON to communicate with a loved one. With one press of the One
Step Direct Call button, children can also dial a pre-configured phone
number, which can be changed at any time through a smartphone running
Android 4.1 or higher. If the child fails to answer a call from any of
the pre-configured numbers within ten seconds, KizON will automatically
connect the call to let the parents listen through the built-in
microphone. Another important function of KizON is Location Reminder,
which gives adults the ability to pre-set the device to provide location
alerts at specific times throughout the day.
Battery
life for KizON is rated for 36 hours and parents will be alerted via
their smartphones when the battery in KizON needs to be recharged.
“Children
as well as the elderly are ideal customers for wearable technologies,”
said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile
Communications Company. “Wearables allow us to stay connected without
the worry of losing a device or the inconvenience of having to carry a
large item in a pocket. At LG, we’re committed to exploring more ways to
incorporate wearable devices into consumers lives in line with our
vision to become a leader in wearables.”
KizON will make its public debut in South Korea on July 10 before its introduction in North America and Europe later this year.
