Sevenhugs HugOne

Do you want to improve the quality of your sleep? Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep

patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the

sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for

sleep patterns of children and adults.

HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of

smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and

other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.

● The benefits of HugOne include:

* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds

to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.

* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living

space.

* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred

nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.

* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed,

it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.

● The following are selected from customers’ comments:

I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the

sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.

—Robert Compton

● HugOne available for purchase includes:

I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base

in my house. All my family members think highly of it.

—Chris Hanawalt HugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep. If you want to get more detailed information,

Jerry Lawson had a love of science and invention from a very young age. And, with the support of his

family and teachers, he took that love and helped change the world for billions of people, when he invented the

modem video game cartridge.

Both of Jerry's parents supported his love of science and invention. His father, a longshoreman, was a science

fan and encouraged Jerry to always experiment with things. Jerry's first-grade teacher helped encourage him on

his path to be someone influential similar to George Washington Carver, a great AfricanAmerican inventor. His first

love in school was chemistry but he ended up liking electronics（电子学）even more.

He earned an amateur ham radio license at age 13 and built his own radio station in his room, with an

antenna hanging out of his window! Jerry earned money from fixing television sets, visiting people's homes for

inhouse repair, and also working at local electronics stores. Jerry also made walkie-talkies and sold them to other

kids. He spent many Saturdays at an electronics store that had all of the parts he needed for his inventions. He

would use his small allowance and money he earned to buy parts to help fuel his inventions. When he was a young adult, Jerry joined Fairchild Semiconductor as an engineer. During this time, he created

his own video arcade game（街机游戏），Demolition Derby, in his garage.

A few years later, Jerry was asked to work on a secret project. Not even his boss was allowed to know what

he was doing! What it turned out to be was that he was designing the Fairchild Channel F video gameconsole（游戏控制器）and leading the team that invented the video game cartridge. This was the first of its kind and enabled
