Mobile phone replaces key 制锁巨头推出开锁手机 Visitors to a Stockholm hotel will be able to use mobile phones instead of keys to unlock the doors to their rooms, AP reported Wednesday. Assa Abloy AB, the worlds largest maker of door locks, has launched a pilot program in which Clarion Hotel Stockholm will lend customers mobile phones with close-range radio chips, much like devices used for contact-less payments at gas stations. Once people have the technology in their own phones, it will save them time at check-in and improve security because the access credentials in a lost phone can be revoked remotely. 据美联社3日报道，全球最大制锁集团Assa Abloy AB日前研制出一款可以用来开锁的手机，目前正在瑞典斯德哥尔摩的号角酒店试用，游客如果在该酒店住宿，大可不必担心忘带房卡，用酒店提供的手机就可开门入住。据悉，这种手机被植入了近距离无线电芯片，原理近似于加油站的刷卡支付系统。一旦手机配备了该功能，人们入住酒店将节省不少时间。如果手机不幸丢失，技术人员还可远程将开门功能注销，大大提高了住宿安全系数。 【Highlights】 China leads Asia in research 中国带动亚洲科研崛起 60% of gray handsets exported 山寨手机六成销往海外 UK boosts teaching of Mandarin 英将培训千名中文教师 Seoul ramps up security G20安保动用面部扫描 Super-parents have 18 children 美超级父母育18个儿女 South Africa: paid to pee 南非城市政府花钱买尿 【Cover Story】 Fireworks apply for Guinness 亚运烟火将申请吉尼斯 The opening ceremony of the Guangzhou Asian Games will see a fireworks show involving 160,000 separate explosions, exceeding the scale of the fireworks used in the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo, said Zhao Weiping, director of the games firework headquarters, reported Wednesday.
