How to update electronic name badge? Through mobile phone or PC? Does the PC software require any internet?

Dynamic Updates via Mobile Devices

The HSN371 digital name badge is optimized for mobile-first environments, leveraging NFC (Near-Field Communication) and Bluetooth technology to enable instant content updates. Here’s how it works:

1. Android Compatibility:

Users can utilize our free, user-friendly Android app to design and refresh badge content. Simply tap the badge to your NFC-enabled Android device, and the intuitive interface guides you through creating custom templates—whether for names, titles, company logos, or interactive messages. The process is streamlined: design in the app, sync via Bluetooth, and deploy updates in seconds. This feature is ideal for on-the-go adjustments during meetings, events, or daily operations.

2. iOS App Progress:

While our iOS app is nearing completion, it is currently pending approval on the Apple App Store due to platform-specific review protocols. Rest assured, the iOS app will mirror the full functionality of its Android counterpart, ensuring consistency across devices. For clients eager to test the system, we recommend using the Android app initially. For bulk orders, we prioritize expediting iOS app deployment to meet your specific needs.

The HSN371 digital name tag’s mobile update system stands out for its universal compatibility, supporting a wide range of smart phones (unlike our battery-free HSN370 name badge model, which has limited support for certain Samsung devices). This versatility ensures that teams using mixed mobile environments can seamlessly manage badge content without disruptions.

PC-Based Updates: Offline and Reliable

For users preferring desktop management, the HSN371 E-paper electronic name badge offers PC software compatibility via an optional card writer (sold separately). This feature is particularly useful for administrative teams or enterprises requiring bulk updates in controlled environments. Key advantages include:
* Offline Functionality: The PC software operates without an internet connection, ensuring privacy and reliability in secure networks or areas with limited connectivity.
* Intuitive Design Tools: The software allows for advanced template creation, with support for rich text formatting, logo integration, and layout customization. Users can save multiple templates for different scenarios (e.g., daily use, conference modes) and deploy them to multiple badges simultaneously, enhancing efficiency.
* Security Options: The HSN371 E-ink digital name tag supports both local authentication (for individual users) and cloud-based security (for enterprises), ensuring data integrity and compliance with organizational protocols.

HSN371 Key Features: Beyond Updates

The HSN371 is more than a digital name badge - it’s a dynamic communication tool designed for modern workplaces. Key specifications and benefits include:
* Long-Lasting Performance: Powered by a replaceable 3V CR3032 battery (550 mAh), the device offers up to 1 year of battery life (depending on update frequency), reducing maintenance costs.
