Introduction

With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, more and more intelligent devices begin to enter people's daily life. Not only are electronic products limited to smart phones, tablets and cameras, but also many smart devices that are closely related to our life and health have begun to appear on the stage. A small editor working in a Japanese enterprise often forgets to drink water because of busy meetings. He won't pick up a glass of water until he is thirsty. This habit has adverse effects on his own health over time. I have learned about relevant smart water cups on various websites, and I want to change my drinking habits. We can look at the smart water cup products on the market. The huge shape, short battery life, inaccurate detection and many other factors have made me late to find a satisfactory water cup.

Cuptime 2 The smart cup mat is a magical electronic product. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also a work of art on the table; More importantly, it is full of scientific and technological elements, which can detect our daily drinking conditions through accurate measurement. With the use of mobile phone APP, you can also send out a reminder of drinking water, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to drink water because of busy work. Cuptime uses the power of technology to bring us health care. Let's take a look at the evaluation of Xiaobian.

Open box display

The smart water cup is packed in a classic white gift box, which looks very high class as a gift. On the front of the box, there are only "cuptime" and "moikit" product logos, in addition, there are no redundant decorative elements, revealing a simple beauty; The relevant parameters of the water cup are introduced in detail at the bottom of the box, which is convenient for users to read before use.

We can't wait to open the packaging box to see the white cuptime2 smart water cup inside. The lack of semicircular slotting design around the packaging box makes the whole unpacking process difficult, which needs to be improved by the manufacturer. The bottom of the cup is supported by a transparent fresh-keeping box, and the sponge on the top of the box is fixed, so the cup is very stable during transportation.

In addition to the smart water cup, the accessories of the product are complete, including a fresh-keeping box, USB charging cable, water cup cover, water cup bottom cushion, charging base and instruction manual. Compared with the previous generation of cuptime products, this time the built-in lithium battery is used to replace the previous button battery, which has greatly improved the user's experience effect; The PIN pin charging base also has some highlights in design, which is convenient for charging the water cup.

The overall appearance of Makkai Cuptime2 is similar to that of an ordinary ceramic cup. It can hold 380ml of drinking water once filled. The overall size of the cup is 153x94x67mm, the net weight is 230g, and the waterproof grade reaches IPX8. Cuptime2 has a stable performance whether it is daily clear or immersed in water.

Compared with the generation of cups, cuptime2 has undergone great changes and improvements in both its appearance design and internal functions. The purpose of these practices is nothing more than to bring users a more intelligent and convenient use experience. The appearance of the cup is white with black LED screen display frame. The color contrast between black and white is very strong and beautiful. In terms of functions, most of the smart cup products are too lazy about mobile APP. Cuptime2 uses advanced LED display technology to intuitively display the amount of drinking water each time and the daily data statistics. Users no longer have to check their mobile phones every time.

Detail display

The logo of the product is on the bottom of the water cup, and most users may be unfamiliar with the team of McKay; This is a company that mainly produces intelligent health perception products. Cuptime2, as an intelligent water cup integrating many advanced technologies, solves the problem of poor drinking conditions of many office workers, and is a product with high cost performance.

Different from the button battery power supply mode of the previous generation, the bottom of the cuptime cup is designed with two circles of metal rings, which are matched with the external charging base for battery life charging. The cross sectional area and spacing of the two rings are relatively large, so the PIN pin on the charging base can be easily contacted during charging, and the short circuit connection will not occur.

The inner liner and outer shell of the smart water cup are made of environmental friendly and healthy Tritan Copolyester material, which is slightly softer and warmer than ceramics in the touch; In addition, Cuptime2 has also added Swiss Sanitized antibacterial materials, making it more healthy and hygienic to use.

The round corner design of the cup mouth is more reasonable, which can fit the mouth shape of people, and will not cause abnormal discomfort when drinking.

The worst part of the whole product experience is the soft glue cup lid inside the accessories. First of all, such a cup lid is more just an accessory decoration, lacking the design concept of locking and fixing the cup. Just ask, can a water cup only be placed on the table for use, and how will it be filled if you carry it outside? In addition, this soft glue water cup pad is easy to stick dust and impurities, and it is not easy to remove them. It is recommended that the manufacturer improve it.

Cuptime2 The biggest highlight is the built-in LED display screen, which adopts a two-color injection molding process surface screen and integrates with the cup body. It can display the drinking water volume, water temperature, drinking water reminder, drinking water progress and other contents to users in real time. The display screen is designed to extend from the cup mouth to the black strip at the bottom of the cup, which is beautiful and more intuitive to view. Every time you pick up a cup and drink water, the amount of water you drink will be displayed on the screen.

In addition to the amount of drinking water, the intelligent water cup can also detect the water temperature in real time, and give a prompt when the temperature is too high. This function is very practical. Many partners like to drink hot water, but they are often ambiguous about the water temperature in the cup. If you try it rashly, you will inevitably burn your mouth. The temperature display function can solve this problem well.

The display screen can also display many contents, such as Bluetooth logo, "HELLO" startup greeting, "TODAY" statistical logo, etc. Users can count their daily total drinking water, and pay scientific and reasonable attention to their drinking water health.

McKay Cuptime2 uses pure physical contact charging, and contacts the alloy charging ring at the bottom of the cup through three PIN pins on the base. While ensuring good charging performance, users can place the cup at will, greatly improving the user experience. In addition to using the power adapter for charging, the water cup can also use the ordinary mobile power for battery life, which is very convenient. According to the official data, the 320mAh lithium battery can last for about 90 days, and such a long standby life is very good.

Through the connection with the mobile phone APP, we can visually see our daily drinking water volume, drinking time and remind; About the working principle of the water cup, because the small knitting is engaged in electronic technology work, although the water cup mat has not been taken apart, you can also guess a general idea; The internal pressure sensor senses the weight difference after drinking each time, and the calculation is converted into digital signals that are transmitted to the mobile phone through Bluetooth.

Use and comparison

Drinking water in daily work and life is an ordinary but extremely important thing. Timely replenishing water to the body can not only bring power to our work, but also maintain the metabolic balance of the body, There is no switch design on the whole cuptime intelligent water cup product. Picking up the water cup can trigger the display screen of the water cup to work.

The combination of arc and water chestnut is adopted on the periphery of the cup, which has a better holding feeling and comfort; Even if the cup is filled with water, it will not be too laborious to lift it. The details are very good. Because the LED display occupies a corner of the water cup, it can only drink water through the other three, which is somewhat limited.

Cuptime2 Compared with ordinary water cups, the most prominent feature of intelligent water cups is the addition of intelligent technology elements; Through scientific and reasonable guidance plan, every user's daily water intake will be prompted to ensure health. Similarly, in terms of water capacity, the data of 380ml is very similar to that of ordinary water cup; The appearance is more simple and fresh, which is suitable for office white-collar workers to work. Even if it is placed on the desk, it can also be regarded as a work of art.

The only drawback is that the cup cover design of cuptime water cup cannot be closed and carried like other water cups. It is suggested that the manufacturer should add it to the next generation of products; After all, if you want to drink regularly when you are out, you must have this function.

APP use

cuptime The product is equipped with a dedicated client "moikit", which can record, remind and interact with the daily water consumption through the cooperation of software and hardware. The APP is compatible with IOS and Android mobile devices and needs to support Bluetooth 4.0. You need to register an account and set user information such as height and weight when using it for the first time.

Open the mobile phone Bluetooth, search for and add a smart cup through the function of adding device options, and the whole connection process is very simple. Here you can also see the main interface functions of the software part, including intelligent drinking water management, application module, and setting three options to interact with users.

Instead of telling users how many milliliters of water they need to drink every day, the software will tailor a daily drinking plan for you through a powerful built-in algorithm based on your system, your historical drinking habits and other data; Every time before and after drinking water, the value of water consumption will be updated and changed in a timely manner, so that you can keep abreast of your drinking situation at any time. In the intelligent drinking water management interface, click the circle in the upper half of the screen to refresh the drinking water records stored in synchronous Cuptime2, press the "three vertical" button in the upper left corner to view the drinking water situation of the day and month, and press the "+" button in the upper right corner to manually add drinking water.

Some small games developed around drinking water data are embedded in the software application plate, which can take into account the original pan health data management such as sports and weight, and become a new health function plate. However, I personally think that the actual application effect of these applications is not very great. Instead, I can consider adding some social entertainment functions to let more users know each other and share drinking experience through the cuptime smart cup.

In the software, detailed instructions are given on the use method, precautions and hardware of the water cup. Users can view it according to their actual needs.

summary

At present, smart water cup products are still a very new concept. On the premise that most people do not know about their daily drinking situation and do not pay attention to the setting, the benefits brought by cuptime smart water cup are not only to remind people to drink water, but also to make people realize how important "healthy living habits" are. After more than a week's use, Xiao Bian's drinking habits have really changed a lot. Every day, he no longer forgets to drink because of his busy work. Thanks to the cuptime intelligent cup, it not only plays a vital role in the metabolic balance of the body, but also can make you have a good mood when placed on the desk as a beautiful artwork. In the process of use, the editor also found several shortcomings of the product. I hope the manufacturer can consider some suggestions.

1、 There is no semicircular groove around the outer package of the smart cup, which causes inconvenience for users to unpack. It is recommended to cover the package design.

2、 The design of soft glue water cup lid is a big failure. It can not realize the sealing of the water cup and is also dirty. I hope to add an integrated flip structure or a screw locking design scheme.

3、 Since there is no independent external switch for the opening and closing of the water cup, it is completely realized by holding the water cup, and sometimes the response is not very sensitive.

4. The functions of the APP part of the software are too simple. I hope some social networking sections can be added to it to make drinking water more interesting.
