Xiaomi phones will soon be able to have sensors and AI algorithm for earthquake monitoring capabilities
In 2010, Xiaomi developed an earthquake alarm to its custom MIUI ROM for phones and smart TVs. A collaboration with Chengdu High-tech Disaster Mitigation Institute enabled the feature. Since November 2019, the Tech giant has provided data showing that it has successfully warned of 35 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 and higher, with a total of 12.64 million warning messages delivered.
Xiaomi may be on its way to introducing yet another disaster early warning system, as is its typical fashion The company has promised a technology that will allow its mobile phones to not only receive but also monitor earthquake warnings. The function would involve pairing its devices with a couple of sensors that would continuously monitor the earth's seismic activity.
This technology not only lowers the cost of earthquake monitoring but also increases the number of monitoring hubs making the national earthquake monitoring and early warning network more accurate.
