As we have also seen for Honor, all brands are trying their hand at building smart products among the most diverse. Now a telephony brand can not only focus (and must not) on smartphones but must also create a ecosystem within which a lover of the brand can live. And how not to do it if not thinking of one smart home? The smart home will be the future but you need an interface to control all devices. Oppo he's thinking about it.
Oppo's interface to control smart home smart devices is shown in a patent: spartan, but functional
According to what emerged from the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), a patent would be present in the database showing what theOppo smartphone interface which will serve to command and control smart devices. Which devices are they? For the moment we have very little information about it, but some smart speaker and smart light bulbs. Curious thing: we are also shown one automatic window curtain.
As we can see in the image above, the interface will be presented in a rather spartan way. No frills, just theessential in the brand line. In main screen, dedicated to the devices actually present in the house and detected by the application (which we simply call Oppo Home, not knowing his real name), we will find theimage of the smart device. In this case, a light bulb, a curtain and a speaker are visible. The particular thing about the interface is that on each product it will be signaled, through an icon, if it is working, broken, or turned off.
In the first case it will appear more light, meaning that the product is on; in the second case a yellow exclamation mark; finally, if the smart product is turned off, we will be notified via the black display (as in the example of the smart speaker in the image above).
As with any patent, it is unknown when this kind of service will debut. It is clear that its first appearance will be in China and only later in the West.
