BARCELONA, Feb. 27 (Aju News) -- Naver Labs, a subsidiary of South Korea's top web service company Naver, unveiled "AKI", a watch-shaped wearable smartphone for kids, mounted with artificial intelligence and security features at a global trade show in Spain.
AKI, which was showcased at the Mobile the World Congress (MWC), analyzes data gathered from WPS (WiFi Positioning System), GPS and location information based on AI. Naver Labs said the phone's AI pinpoints the whereabouts of its wearer by using very little energy and studies movement patterns. It follows simple voice commands such as "Call mom" and sends text messages.
Parents can keep track of their children wearing AKI, which can send alerts when its wearer wanders off from an estimated course. The wearable market, led by global giants like Apple and Samsung, is expected to reach 25 billion US dollars by 2019, according to British analyst group CCS Insight.
