拿起手机不撒手?日本公司推出防沉迷手机壳

孩子自制力差，沉迷手机？别担心，近日，日本一家公司为苹果手机推出了一款防沉迷手机壳，安装上这款手机壳后，只有通过特制的螺丝才能卸掉。手机壳可与一款应用程序连接，父母可通过该程序对孩子的手机进行远程操控。一旦孩子玩手机的时间超出了设定范围，手机就会自动息屏并无法唤醒。

Here's one way to curb phone addiction.

这里有一个遏制手机瘾的方法。

A Japanese company has created an iPhone case to help parents stop their kids from becoming too addicted to their phones.

日本一家公司发明了一款苹果手机壳，可以帮家长阻止孩子过分沉迷于手机。

The case, called the Otomos, is fixed to the phone and cannot be removed without a special screw.

这款手机壳名为Otomos，它被固定在手机上，只有通过一个特制的螺丝才能卸掉。

Otomos pairs up with an app that allows parents to limit the child's daily phone usage. If the child exceeds their daily limit, the phone will automatically enter sleep mode.

Otomos与一款应用程序连接，家长可以通过该程序限制孩子日常使用手机的情况。如果孩子用手机的时间超出了每日的限制，手机将会自动进入睡眠模式。

Motion detectors built into the case are also able to deactivate the phone automatically while the child is walking.

手机壳内设置的运动检测器也能够在孩子走路时将手机自动关闭。

Otomos, which was created by Momo Ltd, can also send automatic messages to parents' phones if it senses that a significant physical shock, such as an accident, has taken place.

Otomos 由日本Momo公司发明。如果Otomos感受到明显的机械冲击，比如孩子发生了意外，那么它还会自动给家长的手机发送短信。

"We have developed the product after hearing many views and concerns of parents who have children using smartphones," Masato Otsu, president of Momo Ltd, told Kyodo news agency.

Momo公司总裁Masato Otsu告诉日本共同社：“我们征集了许多意见，以及使用智能手机的孩子的家长关心的问题，然后开发了这款产品。”

"All you have to do is just attach the case, so it is very easy to use."

“Otomos的用法非常简单，你只需把手机壳装上。”

The smartphone case had earlier raised some $8,000 on Japanese crowdfunding platform Makuake.

此前，这款智能手机壳已经在日本众筹平台Makuake上筹集了约8000美元（约合5.5万元人民币）。

The company is expected to charge around $5 a month for a two-year contract that includes the case.

该公司计划向订购手机壳加2年服务的用户每月收取5美元。

As of now, the case seems to be compatible with only iPhones, so if you're an Android family, you'll just have to keep your kids away from their phones some other way.

目前来看，Otomos手机壳似乎只能兼容苹果手机。如果你家人使用的是安卓手机，你只能找别的办法让孩子远离他们的手机了。
