Another black technology in the takeaway industry! Hungry plans to cover 100,000 smart helmets this year

"This helmet can be equipped with chips, sensors and Bluetooth?" Shanghai Hungry Blue Knight Ma Panpan was a little curious, how could this smart helmet that looked no different from the size and weight of ordinary helmets in his hand superimpose so many functions.

After connecting the helmet Bluetooth with his mobile phone, Ma Panpan found that he could communicate directly with the customer through the helmet's built-in microphone, just press the shortcut button on the helmet and answer the phone without pulling out the mobile phone. This is Ma Panpan's favorite function, "Sometimes you have to make hundreds of calls a day, you can't answer the phone in the winter, if you have a Bluetooth headset, it hurts to wear it all day." ”

Ele.me recently piloted smart helmets in Shanghai and other cities, and plans to distribute more than 100,000 tops nationwide this year. Chen Yanxia, head of the operation department of Hungry Knight, said: "Improving safety is the core purpose of our helmet. ”

The design of this helmet follows the advice of many knights. Receiving orders through voice commands is the function that knights call for the most. In order to improve the accuracy of speech recognition, the smart helmet is equipped with an independent noise reduction control chip, which can make speech recognition more accurate after reducing environmental noise. In addition to Mandarin, smart helmets can also recognize a variety of dialects such as Northeast dialects and Cantonese. "With voice operation, you don't have to stop and answer the phone, which is much more convenient." Knight said.

Ele.me is testing the interconnection of smart helmets with knight order software to expand more functions. For example, the use of AI intelligent voice assistant to answer the knight's daily questions; when encountering abnormal situations such as not being able to contact the user, help the knight automatically report by identifying whether to call the user's phone, etc., without manually submitting an application. Zheng Haibo, head of Ele.me terminal technology, revealed that in the future, smart helmets will "evolve" into AI assistants, and knights can interact with smart helmet voices like awakening Tmall elves.

With built-in sensors, smart helmets can perform wear detection and collision detection. Helmets are an essential safety piece of safety equipment during the ride. Wear detection can identify whether the knight is wearing the helmet correctly, ensuring "one helmet and one belt". And when encountering an impact, the smart helmet will issue a prompt, calling the knight emergency contact with one click in a dangerous situation.

This helmet conforms to the national GB811-2010 standard, and the indicators of stiffness, stability, penetration resistance, and energy absorption of collisions have passed safety tests. It is worth mentioning that the helmet lenses adopted the proposal of a knight, using a more scratch-resistant, anti-fog material. Chen Peiming, designer of the smart helmet experience, said: "Before the knight suggested that wearing a mask in winter, the helmet lenses are easy to fog, which will affect the line of sight. After using anti-fog materials, whether it is raining or alternating between hot and cold, the lens will no longer raise a white mist. In addition, the smart helmet also has a built-in warning light, if the rider brakes or reaches a section without street lights, the side lights of the helmet will automatically flash, improving riding safety.

It is understood that the Ele.me smart helmet has been distributed in batches and is expected to cover 100,000 active knights across the country this year. The first batch of smart helmets in the form of targeted invitations, free of charge to knight internal testing. After the subsequent opening of the purchase, Ele.me will subsidize each smart helmet to ensure that the price of smart helmets is the same as the price of existing ordinary helmets. Knights can choose whether to use smart helmets according to their own delivery needs.
