Xiaomi's latest patent reveals: Wearable devices may have anti-peeping reminder capabilities

Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. recently disclosed a patent titled "Anti-peep prompt method, device, electronic equipment and storage medium". This innovative technology uses the camera device on the wearable device to detect shooting devices in the surrounding environment and issue an anti-peeping prompt when it determines that the user may be at risk of prying eyes. This technology helps protect users' privacy and alerts them to potential snooping behavior. The disclosure of this patent shows Xiaomi’s continuous efforts and innovation in privacy protection.

Specifically, the method described in the patent first captures an image of the environment through a camera on a wearable device. When the system detects the presence of other shooting devices in the image, it further analyzes the shooting angles of those devices. If it is determined that the user is within the shooting range of these devices, the wearable device will immediately activate the anti-peep prompt function to remind the user to pay attention to privacy security.

The emergence of this technology provides users with an additional layer of privacy protection in public places. However, the editor learned that Xiaomi’s current mainstream wearable products, such as Xiaomi watches and Xiaomi bracelets, are not equipped with camera functions, so they cannot directly support this anti-peeping prompt function. Although the Mi Rabbit children's watch has a camera, this feature may not be included due to its market positioning and cost factors. In contrast, Mijia smart glasses are more likely to be the first product to apply this patented technology because they have integrated cameras. In the future, we do not rule out that Xiaomi will launch a new product line specifically equipped with this anti-peep prompt function.
