The brand aims to activate positive communication, such as praising and supporting each other's small actions in daily life, so that people can feel the presence of their family close to them even when they are far away.
In addition to the location information transmission function of the existing "Harokoko" device, the new "Harokoko Talk" is a new watchdog terminal based on the concept of excitement, equipped with a function that allows users to easily send and receive "voice messages" from their children. Not only is this useful when parents want to communicate with their children, but if siblings have the device, they can also exchange voice messages with each other.

Features of "Harokoko Talk
(1) Triangle button for intuitive operation
The easy-to-understand interface with buttons for each function of "listen," "talk," and "notify" allows children to easily "receive voice messages," "send voice messages," and "send location information.

(2) Increased accuracy of location information and reliability of line connection
The number of GPS satellites has been increased to five, which has further improved the accuracy of positioning compared to previous models. In addition, by adopting two carriers (docomo and SoftBank), the new model is equipped with a function that switches lines when one is out of range or has communication problems. This reduces the "risk of disconnection" and improves reliability.

(3) Collaboration with "Ikooyo"™, a facility and event information website
Iko yo" operated by Actindi Corporation is one of Japan's largest family-oriented outing information sites, with over 90,000 outing facilities listed.
Now that data linkage with the "Halofami App" has been achieved, you can search and register facilities and events listed in "Iko yo" in the map. This makes it easier to find weekend excursions, and after visiting a place registered as a "want to visit" spot, you can record your child's impressions like a stamp. This can be used for family communication and to record memories.
