■ Background

Anpi Call began supporting Apple Watch and Wear OS smartwatches in 2022. In recent years, the use of wearable devices has been gaining attention again for corporate BCP and disaster preparedness measures. However, the extent to which smartwatch compatibility actually solves problems is not yet widely recognized. Therefore, to more clearly communicate the value of smartwatch compatibility that Anpi Call has been working on since 2022, we have produced and released a new 30-second commercial. Anpi Call's smartwatch compatibility was also announced at the time of its release in 2022.

■ Why is Smartwatch Compatibility Necessary?

When a disaster occurs, many companies use safety confirmation systems to grasp the status of their employees. However, in reality, there are many situations where employees cannot immediately take out their smartphones, such as when logistics drivers are driving, factory workers are operating machinery, caregivers are attending to patients, construction workers are on site, or sales representatives are traveling. It is not enough for a safety confirmation system to simply distribute disaster information automatically. The information must actually reach employees, responses must be collected, and this must lead to initial decision-making. Without collected responses, companies cannot confirm employee safety or make business continuity decisions. Anpi Call focused on this issue and has enabled notification confirmation and safety response via smartwatches since 2022.

■ About IoT Connect Technology

Supporting smartwatch compatibility is Anpi Call's proprietary "IoT Connect" technology. IoT Connect is a technology that enables integration with IoT devices and wearable devices, and has obtained patents in Japan and the United States. This technology allows for information transmission that does not rely solely on smartphones, delivering information to various devices, thereby expanding opportunities for employees to respond and supporting companies' initial decision-making.

About IoT Connect

Name: Information Processing Apparatus, Information Processing Method, Information Processing System, and Program (Patent No. 6603430)

This technology also obtained a US patent in 2023 (Registration No.: 11.606.345), and we are proceeding with the deployment of IoT-integrated BCP platforms both domestically and internationally.

* With communication-enabled smartwatches such as the Apple Watch Cellular model, notifications can be received and safety responses can be made even when the smartphone is not at hand. Operating conditions may vary depending on the usage environment and communication contract details.

■ Message Behind the 30-Second Commercial

In this commercial, we have simply expressed the customer experience of "being able to respond even without a smartphone at hand," "receiving notifications in various situations," and "supporting initial disaster response" through two types of scenes: "Shopping Scene" and "Yoga Scene." Disasters do not choose a location. That is precisely why a system is needed for safety confirmation that does not rely solely on smartphones. We aim to support prompt decision-making by companies and organizations by delivering necessary information more reliably during disasters.
