If you lose your phone, you can call it or locate it with GPS. If you lose other important things like your keys or wallet, however, you’re usually out of luck. The Tile keychain and card gadget trackers aim to solve that by letting you call your valuables from your phone.
如果您丢失了手机,则可以拨打电话或使用GPS进行定位 。 但是,如果您丢失了其他重要的东西(例如钥匙或钱包),则通常会失去运气。 Tile钥匙扣和卡片小工具跟踪器旨在通过让您从手机中呼叫贵重物品来解决这一问题。
什么是瓷砖? (What Is Tile?)
Tile is a Bluetooth-enabled device tracker that pairs with your smartphone. It comes in two forms. The Tile Mate ($25) is a small, square keychain that’s not much bigger than a quarter. It has a hole in one corner so you can attach it to your key ring, purse, or backpack. There’s also the Tile Slim ($30), which is a thinner square than the Mate, but wider. It’s as tall as one credit card, and as thin as two or three. It can fit neatly inside your wallet or notebook without adding extra bulk.
Tile是与智能手机配对的支持蓝牙的设备跟踪器。 它有两种形式。 Tile Mate (售价25美元)是一个很小的方形钥匙扣,大小不到四分之一。 它的一个角上有一个Kong,因此您可以将其连接到钥匙圈,钱包或背包。 还有Tile Slim ($ 30),比Mate薄,但宽。 它只有一张信用卡高,只有两三张薄。 它可以整齐地放在钱包或笔记本中,而不会增加额外的体积。
While each Tile is a little expensive on its own, you can get bundles to save money, like this 4-pack with two Tile Mates and two Tile Slims for $90. On top of that, you can earn points by inviting friends to get free Tiles. If you invite two friends, you can get a free Mate, and four friends earns you a free Slim. Not a bad deal, if you know a lot of forgetful people.
虽然每个Tile本身有点贵,但您可以捆绑购买以省钱,例如这种4件装,两个Tile Mate和两个Tile Slims ,售价90美元。 最重要的是,您可以通过邀请朋友获得免费的图块来赚取积分。 如果邀请两个朋友,您将获得免费的伴侣,四个朋友将为您带来免费的Slim。 如果您认识很多健忘的人,那不是一件坏事。
You can pair your Tile with your phone, allowing you to locate it whenever you’re nearby. If you’re within Bluetooth range, you can open the app, find the object you’re missing, and tap “Find” to make it ring. The Tile will then play a loud ringtone. Then you can follow the sound to discover that you left your keys on the kitchen counter, right in front of you like an idiot.
您可以将Tile与手机配对,以便在附近就可以找到它。 如果您在蓝牙范围内,则可以打开应用程序,找到丢失的对象,然后点击“查找”使其响起。 然后,磁贴将播放响亮的铃声。 然后,您可以跟随声音,发现您将钥匙放在厨房柜台上,就像白痴一样摆在您面前。
When you’re not within Bluetooth range, the Tile app can show you the last known location of your keys or wallet on a map. On top of remembering where you were when your phone was last near your valuables, Tile also uses the community of Tile members to find your stuff. So, for example, if you left your wallet at the bar and there are other Tile users nearby, your wallet’s location will continually be updated as long as someone else is in range. This is particularly handy if your wallet gets picked up or taken somewhere. Tile’s community isn’t a guaranteed way to track your stuff, since there aren’t a ton of Tile users everywhere, but it’s better than relying solely on your own phone.
当您不在蓝牙范围内时,Tile应用可以在地图上显示钥匙或钱包的最新已知位置。 除了记住您的手机最近一次靠近贵重物品的位置时,Tile还使用Tile成员社区来查找您的东西。 因此,例如,如果您将钱包留在酒吧,并且附近还有其他Tile用户,只要其他人在范围内,钱包的位置就会不断更新。 如果您的钱包在某处被捡起或拿走,这尤其方便。 Tile的社区不是保证跟踪您的东西的一种保证方法,因为到处都没有大量的Tile用户,但是比仅依靠您自己的手机要好。
As a bonus, Tiles also include a small button inside each keychain or card. When you double-click this button, the Tile will ring your phone, even if it’s on silent. So, if you’re heading out the door and you have your keys but can’t find your phone, you can ring it with a couple clicks. Turns out it was in your back pocket. Of course.
作为奖励,Tiles在每个钥匙串或卡内还包括一个小按钮。 双击此按钮时,即使它处于静音状态,图块也会响起您的电话。 因此,如果您正要出门而您有钥匙却找不到手机,则可以单击两次以使其响起。 原来是在你的后兜里。 当然。
如何设置新的图块 (How to Set Up a New Tile)
To set up your Tile, you’ll need to download and install the Tile app for Android or iOS. When you first open the app, you’ll need to create an account, if you don’t already have one, and log in.
要设置Tile,您需要下载并安装适用于Android或iOS的Tile应用。 首次打开该应用程序时,您需要创建一个帐户(如果尚未创建)并登录。
You’ll need to make sure that Tile can access your phone’s Bluetooth and your GPS location. If you’ve turned off either, the next page will ask you to turn them on. You’ll also need to keep in mind that Bluetooth and GPS are necessary to locate and track your Tiles. If you ever need to turn them off to save battery, you won’t be able to ring your Tiles.
您需要确保Tile可以访问手机的蓝牙和GPS位置。 如果您已关闭任何一个,则下一页将要求您打开它们。 您还需要记住,定位和跟踪图块需要蓝牙和GPS。 如果您需要关闭它们以节省电池,则将无法响铃。
Your phone will be added as the first Tile device on your account. Even without a Tile Mate or Slim, you can use the app on the web to find your phone. Click “Got it.”
您的手机将被添加为您帐户中的第一个Tile设备。 即使没有Tile Mate或Slim,您也可以在网络上使用该应用来查找手机。 点击“知道了”。
Tap the plus symbol at the top of the screen.
点击屏幕顶部的加号。
If you haven’t confirmed your email address, you’ll need to do so before you can add any Tiles. You’ll receive a six-digit code to the email address on your account. Enter it to continue.
如果您尚未确认电子邮件地址,则需要先确认,然后才能添加任何图块。 您会在帐户的电子邮件地址上收到一个六位数的代码。 输入它以继续。
Next, choose the model of Tile you have to add it to your account.
接下来,选择您必须将其添加到帐户中的Tile的模型。
For the next step, grab your Tile and click the button in the center underneath the logo. Put your Tile next to your phone to pair it. The app will also demonstrate on your screen.
下一步,抓住瓷砖,然后单击徽标下方中央的按钮。 将图块放在手机旁边即可进行配对。 该应用程序还将在您的屏幕上显示。
Once your Tile is paired, you should see a bright blue screen saying that your Tile has been activated.
瓷砖配对后,您应该会看到一个亮蓝色屏幕,说明您的瓷砖已被激活。
NOTE: after this point, you won’t be able to add your Tile to another account without contacting Tile. For security reasons, Tile only allows you to hide a Tile from the app or transfer it to someone else’s account (which you have to email support to do). If you want to delete your Tile entirely, you’ll need to contact Tile support and the Tile won’t be able to be used again. This is to help ensure that a thief can’t easily remove Tiles from your account in case your stuff gets stolen.
注意:在此之后,您必须先联系Tile才能将Tile添加到另一个帐户。 出于安全原因,Tile仅允许您从应用程序中隐藏Tile或将其转移到其他人的帐户(您必须通过电子邮件发送支持)。 如果您要完全删除Tile,则需要与Tile支持人员联系,并且Tile将无法再次使用。 这是为了确保万一您的东西被盗,小偷不会轻易从您的帐户中删除图块。
Next, you can pick what you’re going to use your Tile on. You can choose from some preset categories like keys or wallet, or choose your own custom label. Tiles still work the same way no matter what you choose, but this helps you easily spot the thing you’re looking for from a list.
接下来,您可以选择要在其上使用图块的功能。 您可以从一些预设类别中进行选择,例如钥匙或钱包,或者选择自己的自定义标签。 无论您选择什么,磁贴都仍然以相同的方式工作,但这可以帮助您轻松地从列表中找到所需的内容。
On the last screen, you can test your Tile by tapping the green Find button. This will make your Tile ring until you click the logo on it.
在最后一个屏幕上,您可以通过点击绿色的“查找”按钮来测试您的图块。 这将使您的平铺环响起来,直到您单击其上的徽标为止。
You can repeat this process for as all the Tiles you need.
您可以为所需的所有图块重复此过程。
如何用瓷砖找到东西 (How to Find Your Stuff With Your Tile)
There are two ways you can use your Tile to find your stuff. You can either use your phone to locate your Tile, or you can use your Tile to locate your phone. For the former, open up your app.
您可以通过两种方式使用Tile查找内容。 您可以使用手机定位图块,也可以使用图块定位手机。 对于前者,请打开您的应用程序。
Here, you’ll see a list of all the Tile objects (including your phone). The icon on the right will show you the connection status of your Tile. A solid green line will indicate that your phone is connected to the Tile. A dotted green line indicates that your Tile is nearby but hasn’t connected yet. This can help you find your Tile when it’s in the house, but you’re not sure what room it’s in. Walk from room to room until the line turns solid. A grey line indicates that your Tile is not nearby. If that’s the case, use the map feature to find where your Tile was last seen. Tap the Tile you want to find to continue.
在这里,您将看到所有Tile对象(包括您的手机)的列表。 右侧的图标将向您显示图块的连接状态。 绿色实线表示您的手机已连接到图块。 绿点虚线表示您的图块在附近,但尚未连接。 这可以帮助您在房子里找到瓷砖时,但不确定它在哪个房间里。在房间之间走动直到线条牢固。 一条灰线表示您的图块不在附近。 如果是这种情况,请使用地图功能找到您的图块最后一次出现的位置。 点击您要查找的图块以继续。
On the individual Tile screen, you can see your options for finding your stuff. If you’re within range, tap the green Find button to ring your Tile. If you need to see a map of where your stuff is, tap Options then choose “View on Map.”
在单个图块屏幕上,您可以看到用于查找内容的选项。 如果您在范围内,请点击绿色的“查找”按钮以使图块响起。 如果您需要查看东西所在的地图,请点按“选项”,然后选择“在地图上查看”。
The “View on Map” button will show you where your Tile was last seen on a map. You can pan around and zoom to see where it is. If another Tile user finds your device, the location should update. It’s not a guarantee, but you may get lucky.
“在地图上查看”按钮将向您显示您的图块在地图上的最后显示位置。 您可以平移和缩放以查看其位置。 如果另一个Tile用户找到您的设备,则位置应更新。 这不是保证,但您可能会很幸运。
You can also use your Tile to find your phone. Double-click the button inside the logo and your phone should start ringing, even if it’s on silent. When you find your phone, you’ll see a notification for the alert. Tap Found It to turn off the ringing.
您也可以使用图块来查找手机。 双击徽标内的按钮,即使手机处于静音状态,手机也应开始响铃。 找到手机后,您会看到警报通知。 点击“发现它”以关闭铃声。
Ideally, once you set up your Tile, you’ll forget about it most of the time. Tile isn’t a perfect way to find your stuff if you ever lose it outside your home, but it can help you realize when you forgot something at the bar or find your keys in the couch cushions. It’s a little piece of mind that can help you out when you need it most.
理想情况下,一旦设置好“图块”,大多数情况下您都会忘记它。 如果您在屋外丢失东西,瓷砖不是找东西的理想方法,但是当您忘记了酒吧里的东西或在沙发垫上找到钥匙时,它可以帮助您实现。 当您最需要它时,便会有所帮助。
