DESIGN NAME: Smart Touch S7 Series
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Screen
INSPIRATION: This series is designed to resolve the contradiction between the development of modern smart home and the limitation of using an app for smart home control. Common smart home apps are often inconvenient to operate, and fail in whole house smart control. Therefore, multiple key and knob modules are available in this series to meet diverse operation preferences, which can be replaced and attached to the screen for scalability. With varied finishes, these modules take on a rich sense of layering.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Designed with a focus on the intelligence trend, the Smart Touch S7 Series comes with a powerful operating system to provide the gamut of control functions for a smart home, such as smart appliance control, video intercom, and security surveillance. The touch screen with an intuitive user interface design, as well as the attachable knob modules, ensures clear visual facilitation to facilitate efficient operation.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Users can flexibly control the lights, curtains, air conditioners, and other home appliances by voice commanding or using the icons that visualize the appliance running status through animation effects. The panel also allows users to narrow the control area down to a specific room simply by clicking on the floor plan displayed in the touch screen. More functions are readily available on the panel such as video intercom, security surveillance, and elevator calling.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design and development of the panel series started in April 2022, Guangzhou. It will be introduced to the Chinese market in October, 2023.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Digital and Electronic Device Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Constructed by using fireproof materials and space aluminum, this series is able to work stably in harsh environments. The key module has its indicators treated by metal microporous technology to minimize light pollution. The knob module is made up of a glass cover and a stainless steel knob. The diamond texture on the knob is created by crossing knurling, which is further electroplated for a metallic lustre and can be refracted in light, spicing up the wall with a rich play of light and shadow.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 227*86*10.5mm

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: With the popularity of smart home systems, consumers expect to enjoy more functions for a smart home, along with an inclination to purchase varied smart home appliances. Contradictory to this situation is the single functional mode of the smart panels on the current market, which means they are unable to deliver various functions, unless working with other smart devices. For an instance, additional security cameras and intercom doorbells are needed for home security surveillance.
CHALLENGE: During the design and development process, the designers was tasked to improve the safety and protection performance of this series. The result is this rugged smart panel with a shell made of fireproof materials and space aluminum, which can function well in case of an emergency and set off prompts or alarms to alert users. When any exception occurs in smoke alarms or door magnetic sensors, this panel will trigger alarms promptly, and synchronize the information to the app on the smart phone.
