Summary
Since entering 2013, wearable devices have sprung up everywhere. However, it has to be acknowledged that at the product level, wearable devices are still in the early stages of development. There are many manufacturers, but the quality is uneven; there are many functions, but the standards are missing. There are not many products on the market that really bring good user experience to consumers, and there is a lack of a common specification in the industry to coordinate and evaluate all types of wearable devices.
In response to the status quo of such an industry, TÃœV Rheinland cooperates with well-known domestic manufacturers to develop an evaluation plan for wearable devices based on the product development status and the average quality level of products on the market. The wearable devices are safe, intelligent and available. A comprehensive assessment of the three aspects of wearability ensures that the device being evaluated can achieve the claimed function while meeting the expectations of the user, thereby contributing to the healthy development of the wearable device industry.
Among all kinds of wearable devices, the development of smart bracelets is relatively early, and there are many wristband products on the market. This article will introduce the evaluation scheme of wearable devices with smart bracelets as an example.
1 Introduction
Since entering 2013, wearable devices have sprung up everywhere. It is undeniable that with the continuous development of the mobile Internet and the continuous maturity of sensor technology, the mobilization, portability and intelligence of electronic devices will become a major trend, and various types of wearable devices have emerged as a result. Around the concept of wearable, large and small manufacturers have developed "smart wearable devices" with different shapes and functions for various wearable products involved in daily life.
However, it has to be acknowledged that at the product level, wearable devices are still in the early stages of development. There are many manufacturers, but the quality is uneven; there are many functions, but the standards are missing. There are not many products on the market that really bring good user experience to consumers, and there is a lack of a common specification in the industry to coordinate and evaluate all types of wearable devices. In response to the status quo of such an industry, TÃœV Rheinland cooperates with well-known domestic manufacturers to develop an evaluation plan for wearable devices according to the product development status and the average quality level of products on the market. The safety, intelligence and wearability of wearable devices are available. A comprehensive assessment of the three aspects of wearability ensures that the device being evaluated can achieve the claimed function while meeting the expectations of the user, thereby contributing to the healthy development of the wearable device industry.
Among all kinds of wearable devices, the development of smart bracelets is relatively early, and there are many wristband products on the market. This article will introduce the evaluation scheme of wearable devices with smart bracelets as an example.
During the use of the smart bracelet, the following links will be related to the user experience:
1.1 Device security, including the security of the device itself and information security.
The bracelet worn on the user for a long time must first ensure that it does not have any negative impact on human health and safety. At the same time, since the bracelet collects various body signs, and the health information belongs to the category of personal privacy, the bracelet should be Have appropriate information security protection.
1.2 Equipment intelligence
Different types of smart bracelets and previous pedometers, heart rate monitors, etc., are called "smart bracelets" because the devices themselves have interactive functions with the outside world and have the ability to store and process data. This evaluation plan will use the information flow between people, smart bracelets and data processing terminals as a context to evaluate all aspects that may affect the user experience. The evaluation direction includes sensor evaluation of equipment, interaction evaluation between equipment and users, interaction evaluation between equipment and central data processing unit, evaluation of operating system and APP, and evaluation of communication system.
1.3 Long-term wearability of equipment
The original intention of the user to use the smart bracelet is often to measure various data for a long time without interruption, and to adjust accordingly by the result of data analysis. This requires the smart bracelet to be comfortable to wear, easy to operate, durable, endurance, and adaptable to different working environments. The wearability of the smart bracelet also often determines the stickyness of the user's opponent ring.
This evaluation program starts with the safety, intelligence and wearability of the equipment, conducts in-depth analysis of all aspects that may affect the user experience, and develops corresponding evaluation plans and test methods to ensure that it can be measured by the same criteria. And evaluate all types of smart bracelet products.
2. Equipment safety assessment
In conjunction with the requirements of the destination country where the smart bracelet is sold, evaluate the safety compliance of the bracelet and its accessories (including chargers, batteries, etc.), compliance with electromagnetic compatibility, levels of toxic and hazardous substances, recycling of materials and The level of utilization and the consistency of factory production ensure that the smart bracelet that is evaluated does not pose a safety hazard to users and the environment, and also ensures that the smart bracelet products that have been evaluated have a certain quality stability.
Manufacturers need to obtain proof of compliance with the relevant regulations before selling the products to the destination country, so the assessment of the safety of the equipment will be carried out mainly through document review.
At the same time, for the information security protection of the equipment, the evaluation scheme will be verified one by one according to the information security protection measures listed in the product manual, such as user registration, password login, personal information confirmation and information deletion. Moreover, the assessment of information security will not be limited to the smart bracelet itself, and the information security protection of the APP used with the smart bracelet is also evaluated.
