Life, AKIN, Published on 23/07/2014
» LG Electronics will extend the wearable experience to parents with children with its new KizON wristband. KizON is LG’s new wearable designed exclusively for preschool and primary school children that offers parents a convenient way to keep track of their kids' whereabouts. Utilizing GPS and Wi-Fi, KizON provides real-time location information, allowing parents to track their child on a smartphone. With One Step Direct Call, parents can easily communicate with their children and be provided with information on their location throughout the day. And parents aren’t the only ones who can use KizON to communicate with loved ones — with one press of the One Step Direct Call button, children can dial a pre-configured phone number, which can be changed at any time through a smartphone running Android 4.1 or higher. If the child fails to answer a call from any of the pre-configured numbers within 10 seconds, KizON will automatically connect the call to let the parents listen through a built-in microphone. Another important function of KizON is Location Reminder, which gives adults the ability to pre-set the device to provide location alerts at specific times throughout the day.
