Ngaphakathi kohlaka lwe I-World World Congress ebibanjelwe ngesonto eledlule eBarcelona, iTelefonica imemezele ukuthi ezinyangeni ezizayo izoqala ukuthengisa eYurophu naseLatin America i I-smartwatch ye-FiLIP, iwashi elihlakaniphile lezingane elifaka i-geolocation, imiyalezo kanye nemisebenzi yefoni ephathekayo njengamakholi wezwi. I-FiLIP ihloselwe izingane ezineminyaka ephakathi kwengu-4 nengu-11 ubudala futhi ixhuma nohlelo lokusebenza olufakwe kwi-smartphone yomuntu omdala.
I-FiLIP Kuyinto a okugqokekayo ithandwa kakhulu e-USA eyethulwe ngo-2013 esivele iwine imiklomelo eminingana futhi evumela ukuthi kufake izinombolo zocingo ezi-5 ezethembekile ingane engakwazi ukuxhumana nazo, futhi inikeze ithuba lokuchaza izindawo ezethembekile ubaba wazo uma engazishiya. Ngabe ufuna ukwazi kabanzi ngale "toyoli" entsha? Kuyajabulisa impela, futhi kuphendula izidingo eziningi zokuphepha abazali abanazo namuhla.
I-FiLIP ihlanganisa ubuchwepheshe be-GPS, i-Wi-Fi ne-GSM ewashini enemibala, izingane ezingayiyisa esikoleni, epaki noma kwenye indawo. Izici ze-FiLIP zenzelwe izidingo zabazali. Phakathi kokunye, kufaka phakathi i-geolocation, izingcingo zezwi noma ukuthumela imiyalezo ngqo ezinganeni. Umuntu omdala uhlala ephethe ngaso sonke isikhathi ngenxa yohlelo lokusebenza olufakwe kwi-smartphone yakhe futhi ukhetha oxhumana nabo abahlanu abathembekile ingane yabo engaxhumana nabo.
I-FiLIP futhi ivumela abazali ukuthi basungule "izindawo eziphephile" ukuze bathole isexwayiso uma ingane ingena noma ishiya izindawo ezibekiwe. Yize kungekho mzali ofuna izingane zakhe zizithole zisesimweni esiyingozi, uma kungenzeka, i-FiLIP ifaka inkinobho ephuthumayo okuthi, uma icindezelwa yingane, isebenzise inqubo ephuthumayo ehlakaniphile evumela ukuthi zitholakale futhi zilandelane zibize wonke umuntu othintana naye ophuthumayo, okukhethwe phambilini ngumzali, kuze kuphendule umuntu.
"Nge-FiLIP besifuna ukudala umkhiqizo olula ozonikeza izingane inkululeko yokuhambahamba futhi, kubazali, ukuthula kwengqondo ukuthi bangakuthola noma bakhulume nabo uma bengekho ndawonye", kuchaza uJonathan Peachey, isikhulu esiphezulu seFilip Technologies. "I-FiLIP ihambisana ngokuphelele nenhloso kaTelefonica yokunikeza imindeni imikhiqizo nezinsizakalo ezintsha, futhi ukuba khona kwayo okukhulu emhlabeni wonke kuyenza ibe ngumlingani othokozisayo wenkampani yethu njengoba siqala ukunweba kwethu ngaphandle kwase-US."
UStephen Shurrock, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Consumer endaweni yeTelefonica uveze: “Siyajabula ukusebenzisana neFilip Technologies ukumaketha iwashi labo le-smartwatch lezingane ezise-Europe naseLatin America. Lapha e-MWC, kunakwa kakhulu okugqokekayo okutholakala kubantu abadala, kepha i-FiLIP kunalokho ivelela njengewashi lezingane ukuthi zijabule nabazali behlise umoya. Yenzelwe ukujabulisa izingane ukugqoka nokuqinisekisa abazali ukuphepha abakufunayo.
“Siyi-digital telco ehamba phambili, futhi ngenxa yalokho, sizibophezele ekusizeni imindeni ukuthi ithole ubuchwepheshe obumnandi nobusha, ngasikhathi sinye, obubavumela ukuthi bahlale bexhumekile futhi bephephile. Ngalo mqondo, iFilip Technologies ingumlingani ophelele, njengoba imele igxathu elihle eliya phambili isu lethu lokunikeza ulwazi lwedijithali oluphephile ”, kunezela uStephen Shurrock.
Kodwa ingabe umkhiqizo onjalo usebenza ngempela eYurophu?
Abaningi bazocabanga ukuthi iqiniso kwezenhlalo e-US mayelana nezingane alifani naseYurophu. Kepha lokho akusho ukuthi akusizakali futhi. Iziphetho eziningana zocwaningo olwenziwe ngonyaka odlule zaqinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizo ofana ne-FiLIP ubudingeka eYurophu:
- Abazali abane kwabayishumi okwaxoxwa nabo bakholelwa ukuthi izingane zabo azikakhuli ngokwanele ukuba ne-smartphone zize zibe neminyaka eyi-11-13.
- Ku-92% kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi ingane yabo ikuphi.
- Abazali abangama-88% bakhombisa ukuthi kubalulekile ukuthi ingane yabo ikwazi ukuxhumana nabo uma kunesidingo.
- Kubazali abangama-90% kubalulekile ukuxhumana nezingane zabo lapho bengekho nabo, futhi iningi labo lingathanda ukukwenza kanye noma kabili ngosuku.
- Izingcingo, ezilandelwa imiyalezo, yizinhlobo zokuxhumana ezithandwa kakhulu ngabazali ukuxhumana nezingane zabo.
ITelefónicia neFiLIP bayasebenzisana kuphenyo olufanayo eLatin America, lapho iningi labazali lihlanganyela khona ngengxenye enhle yezikhalazo zabazali baseYurophu.
