In the era where everyone has a mobile phone, everything from large appliances to small door locks can be controlled by mobile phones, achieving "intelligence." But for those daily necessities that don't need to be plugged in, how can they also become "intelligent"?
The CliQ sensor, currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, offers a very interesting solution.
Let's first assume a scenario: place this Bluetooth "small block" with a built-in three-axis sensor on a thermos cup. Every time the cup is opened or moved, the mobile app will receive a reminder and then execute the user's preset actions.
Doesn't this achieve the effect of "making everything intelligent"?
CliQ is a white small block that can sense whether an object is touched or moved through a three-axis sensor. There is a button on the top that can perform actions like single-click and double-click.
Its application range is very wide. For example, you can place it on a watering can and set a goal in the app to "water the flowers every two days."
When the app finds that the watering can hasn't been moved for two days, it will remind the user to water the flowers.
If you already have some internet-connected lights, TVs, or air conditioners at home, you can also stick CliQ on the door. When you leave or return home, the relevant appliances in the house will automatically turn off or on. Of course, with the single-click and double-click functions on the device, you can perform even more actions.
Another more proactive feature of CliQ is "changing habits." Users can set goals in the app like "use the treadmill every day," "practice guitar every day," or "try not to play PS4," and then place CliQ on the corresponding target. The app will monitor whether you are following through, and it will even generate a statistical chart for you, occasionally popping up encouraging messages like "You haven't played games for four days," helping users gradually correct and cultivate daily habits.
Although it is just an unassuming little thing, when paired with a mobile app, it can perform unexpectedly great functions!
