Students secretly play with their mobile phones in class always makes teachers worry. Taiwanese college student Lin Changlong designed a device. During class, students must concentrate their mobile phones in the device before starting electrical appliances such as fans, air conditioners, etc., and once they are taken away, the power will be cut off immediately.

Wanghong Education Foundation held the 15th Science Award Ceremony today. Lin Changlong, a first-year student in the Department of Electronic Engineering at Qinyi University, won the award for his high-level work in Taichung, "Abnormal Decision - Mobile Phone Addiction Nemesis".

Lin Changlong said in an interview that when he was a senior high school student in Taichung, the school set up a "mobile phone bag" on the classroom wall in order to avoid students playing with their mobile phones in class, hoping that students could automatically and spontaneously put their mobile phones in and concentrate on class. However, the results were not effective after implementation, so they had to revise the school rules and clearly stipulate that they would be punished with demerit when playing with their mobile phones in class.

He thought to himself that instead of using punishment and demerit to prohibit students from playing with mobile phones, it is better to use the incentive method of achieving goals together. The effect may be better. Therefore, he and two classmates spent a year designing the "Step-Realization - Mobile Phone Addiction Nemesis". This device must collect a certain number of mobile phones to start public electrical appliances such as air conditioners, fans or lights. Once someone takes the mobile phone, the appliances will automatically be powered off.

Lin Changlong said that in the past, the school class was tried. Not only did the students find it interesting, but the teachers also believed that it could avoid students playing with their mobile phones in class, and it could also be used in companies in the future, avoid employees playing with their mobile phones in meetings, and combine driving safety. Once they pick up their mobile phones, the car will make a reminder and consider applying for a patent in the future.
