Huawei announced that it will hold a summer new product launch conference on July 4 (tomorrow) to officially launch the Nova10 series and other products. The latest news shows that in addition to the already announced mobile phones, cars, speakers, and watches, there is also a mysterious new product that has not yet been announced. It has more advanced and mature technology than and Apple , and can be called an "anti-lost artifact."
According to insiders, Huawei will launch its first "Tag" tracker at the press conference to prevent the loss and retrieval of items. In addition to the common Bluetooth function in the industry, it also has ultrasonic support for short distances. More accurate location identification. Previously, Huawei had launched "Huawei Tag" on the Cloud Space APP, which used ultrasonic waves to accurately find relevant devices and use microphone permissions. At that time, it was only in the testing phase.
"Tag" is an accessory that helps locate items. Currently, many manufacturers have launched related products. The most famous one is the Air Tag released by Apple last year. According to Apple's description, Air Tag can be placed with any items such as keys and backpacks. If it is lost, you can quickly locate it through your iPhone. Therefore, it is also called an "anti-lost artifact" and is useful for users with poor memory. Very helpful.
Air Tag does not locate through the GPS network signal, because it consumes too much power and requires frequent replacement of the battery, which is troublesome and increases the user's cost. On the other hand, it is also easy to be cracked by hackers and invades the user's privacy. Apple has come up with a perfect solution that can use Bluetooth signals to implement precise positioning, and there are countless iOS, iPad, OS device users around the world. You can combine it with Bluetooth devices and find Air Tag positioning devices anywhere.
Although Apple's idea is very good, some people still use Air Tag to do some undesirable things. In order to check the privacy performance, some foreign media once secretly placed this product in the belongings of two colleagues. As a result, the whereabouts of the two people were exposed, and there was no privacy in the eyes of the monitors. Because the Air Tag is too small and about the size of a coin, it is impossible for the person being monitored to detect it in a short time. At that time, many netizens criticized it for causing privacy leaks.
Things are indeed developing in a bad direction. In the past year, in the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries and regions, it has been frequently exposed that people use Air Tags to carry out illegal activities. The Canadian side said that more and more thieves are using Air Tag to track high-end vehicles and check in advance for later theft. This product has greatly helped thieves reduce their work process and played a role in fueling the fire. There are also records of people using Air Tag to illegally track victims in New York, USA. All this has caused Apple to face privacy concerns, but Apple has updated the firmware many times and cannot completely solve the problem.
still doesn’t know the specific working principle of Huawei Tag, but it can be believed that it must have learned from Apple’s relevant experience, strengthened privacy protection performance, and can provide a more mature solution. In any case, Tag is still a new item, and there are many problems that need to be improved in its early use. We hope that these problems will be solved.
