• Introduction of Ideagear Developing Team
  

The development team is led by Mr. Kawano, an IoT expert who teaches and produces IoT prototypes in Japan. Supporting him is Mr. Suzuki and his colleagues, who run business in Shenzhen and engage in hardware startups in Huaqiang North. This development team with Chinese and Japanese aspects has been currently developing and mass-producing products mainly by making existing products compatible with IoT.

We have steadily been releasing products since 2018.

• Development example

IoT Dumbbell (development discontinued → IoT Barbell)

Dumbbell-like IoT devices had already been existing since spring of 2018, being a small device attached to a dumbbell with a sticker to record the number of reps. However, a drawback of this kind of product is that it counts any movement no matter how it was done as a rep.
If someone was going to train, they’d want to count the amount of correct movements individually. However, there weren’t any products that would allow the user to do so which is why we developed a new idea. The photo is the first prototype of it. When we delivered it to our customers, we received the following feedback.

1. 80% of equipment used at the gym are barbells
2. There must be a range of 10 weights from 2kg to 20kg

If we continued developing dumbbells as they currently are, a problem would occur that the metal will interfere with radio waves of the device embedded in the dumbbell. It is also necessary to make 10 types in total along with molds that would lead to expensive development costs.
On the other hand, in the case of use with barbells it turns out that a single external type is fine. Considering the fact that most users use barbells, we decided to temporarily stop the development of dumbbells and started developing barbells. For more information on barbells, please refer to the IoT barbell section.



IoT　Pizza Kiln

This was a great success at the engineer networking event.

Anyone can easily cook pizza in 2 minutes by logging on to RaspberryPi using SSH, writing a control program with vim, and compiling and running it. The temperature can go up to 600 degrees Celsius!



①Smart Cake

You can upload birthday wishes and images via your phone and display them on the cake. Enjoy celebrating a technological birthday using features such as image projection through your phone and sound sensing LED candles allowing them to be blown off.

②Automatic moon tracing camera

It traces the moon automatically.
Though it can automatically trace the movement of the moon, the direction of the camera can be changed manually. You can control it through a computer and also shoot images.

③Character printer

The original prototype of the character printer. Please refer to the mini printer section below for a prototype.



Mini Printer (under development)

By choosing a character on the screen you can print it as stickers. It is under development for miniaturization.



IoT Barbell (prototype development completed)

The IoT barbell was developed in response to the demands of unmanned gyms in Japan.

We support the user's training by having them select the mass of the weight and the motion on a smartphone or tablet and recording the number of times and speed in conjunction with the gym's online system.
Just training muscles doesn’t get you anywhere, for example :

1. Wanting to go on a diet
2. Wanting to increase agility
3. Wanting to be able to hold up heavy objects

For each example as so, there is an optimal way to train. By making barbells compatible with IoT and detecting the speed and angle of the movement, it is possible to compare it to current databases and analyze it. If the current movement isn’t right for the objective of the training, the system can send a notification

Updating the IoT barbell system.

IoT Display Devicel (under development)

It is an IoT device used in conjunction with the main unit.
You can check the state of the main body from afar.
※Details are still confidential since it is currently in development and preparation for mass production.


Compact High Conentration Ozone Meterl (under development

A large facility is usually required to detect high-concentrated ozone. This product has been downsized, enabling it to be portable. Also, it does not need a warm-up operation owning to its specification.
※Details are still confidential since it is currently in development and preparation for mass production.



Ozone Meter Prototypel (without a probe)

It is a low-price version of the Compact High Concentration Ozone Meter. We are selling this product in a small loT to get technical feedback and carry out tes marketing.
※Details are still confidential since it is currently in development and preparation for mass production.



Device with UV lamp (under development)

This is an electronic device with UV lamp for bearty and fashion usage. Since the design of the cabinet is crucial, touch sensor has been adopted. Just by touching the cabinet, you can turn on/off or adjust the amount of light of LED, and turn on the display, etc.
It is chargeable with its built-in lithium battery.
※Details are still confidential since it is currently in development and preparation for mass production.



LED Desk Lamp (under development)

Ideagear is in charge of developing the electonic compartment of a desk lamp with abundant sense of design. Ideagear is responsible for the electornic drive unit, not the cabinet and its structure, such as selecting the LED, aplying touch sensors and magnet sensors, decision -making on the charging method.
It is chargeable with its built-in lithium battery.
※Details are still confidential since it is currently in development and preparation for mass production.

Temperature Measurement Device (under development)

This device measures body temperature by using infraed sensor. Ideagear has carried out all the developing process from a scratch, starting with getting ideas out for the device, making the cabinet data, selecting the sensor.
It is chargeable with its built-in lithium battery.
※Details are still confidential since it is currently in development and preparation for mass production.
