    Marla Marin - Analyst

  • Thank you.

    謝謝。

  • Hi.

    你好。

  • So I have a couple of questions.

    我有幾個問題。

  • I have a couple of questions.

    我有幾個問題。

  • So the Freedom Alert Mini, it's based on the numbers you just cited, it appears to be gaining traction in the third quarter.

    因此,根據您剛才引用的數據,Freedom Alert Mini 似乎在第三季度獲得了發展動力。

  • So can you give us a little bit more color on what you're seeing there, what you're thinking?

    那麼您能否向我們稍微詳細地介紹一下您在那裡看到的情況以及您的想法呢?

  • And specifically, did you conduct some increased promotional activities for the new product?

    還有具體來說,有沒有針對新產品加大一些促銷活動?

  • Chia-Lin Simmons - Chief Executive Officer, Director

    Chia-Lin Simmons - Chief Executive Officer, Director

  • Hello, Marla, how are you today?

    你好,瑪拉,你今天感覺怎麼樣?

  • Thank you for the question.

    感謝您的提問。

  • And I will answer and then pass it off to Mark as well to see if he has additional feedback as well.

    我會回答並將其轉交給馬克,看看他是否還有其他回饋。

  • On our side, we -- the product was, we certainly have actually participated in additional marketing activities, but nothing that's out of the ordinary.

    就我們而言,我們—產品—實際上我們確實參與了額外的行銷活動,但沒有什麼不尋常的。

  • In a sense of, we have created a really fantastic product.

    從某種意義上說,我們創造了一款真正出色的產品。

  • In fact, one that probably has better and richer features than our competitors in, for example, the business government space.

    事實上,它可能比我們的競爭對手在商業政府領域中具有更好、更豐富的功能。

  • And so we have been very, very active in going out and sharing the enhanced services of those products.

    因此,我們非常積極地向外界分享這些產品的增強服務。

  • And I think that's what you're seeing as a result of that.

    我想這就是你所看到的結果。

  • So we launched a product around mid second quarter of this past year -- actually beginning of second quarter.

    因此,我們在今年第二季中期(實際上是第二季初)推出了一款產品。

  • And so I think the improvement that you're seeing is really about a lot of ground work that we're doing and getting out there and sharing the message of the product and its enhanced services.

    所以我認為,您所看到的改進實際上歸功於我們所做的大量基礎工作,以及我們不斷推廣和分享有關該產品及其增強服務的資訊。

  • Marla Marin - Analyst

    Marla Marin - Analyst

  • And when you say sharing the message with some of your partners, just in terms of when you're meeting with some reps, I mean how are you positioning that so that you continue to see that traction accelerate?

    當您說與一些合作夥伴分享資訊時,就是指當您與一些代表會面時,我的意思是您如何定位它,以便您繼續看到這種牽引力加速?

  • Chia-Lin Simmons - Chief Executive Officer, Director

    Chia-Lin Simmons - Chief Executive Officer, Director

  • Sure, absolutely.

    當然,絕對是如此。

  • So we spend a lot of time now on the ground with our sales force.

    因此我們現在花了很多時間在實地與我們的銷售團隊合作。

  • Speaking with all, just for example, government businesses divisions of the veterans administration.

    例如,與退伍軍人管理局的所有政府業務部門進行交談。

  • And so we've actually beefed up all of our marketing collaterals and the products that we send them as well, basically counting the features of the product, right?

    因此,我們實際上加強了我們所有的行銷資料以及我們發送給他們的產品,基本上計算了產品的功能,對嗎?

  • It is really a really brand-new product in the system, and it's one that is unique and differentiated from those that our competitors are putting out in the market.

    它確實是系統中的全新產品,並且是獨一無二的,與我們的競爭對手在市場上推出的產品有所不同。

  • And so we're spending a lot of time basically communicating via e-mail, in person, on calls actually really sharing with them how the product is differentiated in the pricing structure, that is, I think, very competitive.

    因此,我們花費大量時間透過電子郵件、面對面、電話等方式進行溝通,與他們分享產品在定價結構上的差異化,我認為這是非常有競爭力的。

  • Also, we spent some time as a small business selling to the veterans administration in things like small business days, and also the different conventions that basically speak to the veterans directly as well.

    此外,我們還花了一些時間作為小型企業向退伍軍人管理局銷售產品,例如小型企業日,以及基本上直接與退伍軍人對話的各種會議。

  • And so it really, I think, helps us when we do those conferences in the summer that we've attended to have the veterans walk in and say, look, we've heard about this amazing LogicMark product and that's the unit that we want to have.

    因此,我認為,當我們在夏天參加那些會議時,讓資深人士走進來並說,看,我們聽說過這款出色的 LogicMark 產品,這就是我們想要的產品,這確實對我們很有幫助有。

  • And so that's really helped us both those businesses as well.

    這對我們也有很大幫助。

  • Related to consumer side, I think that we are spending a little bit more time further enhancing our message in social media.

    從消費者方面來看,我認為我們花了更多時間在社群媒體上進一步強化我們的訊息。

  • We're enhancing this message in our Amazon store.

    我們正在亞馬遜商店中強化這個訊息。

  • And so -- and that's actually showing some level of initial traction as well.

    所以 — — 這其實也顯示出了一定程度的初步吸引力。

  • Marla Marin - Analyst

    Marla Marin - Analyst

  • Got it.

    知道了。

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • So you just mentioned -- I have a follow-up on something you just said about the Amazon store.

    所以您剛才提到——我對您剛才提到的亞馬遜商店的事情有一個後續了解。

  • And I know that direct-to-consumer and online sales, that's been a push for the company recently.

    我知道直接面向消費者和網路銷售是最近公司發展的推動力。

  • Can you give us any color there in terms of what you're seeing, if you're satisfied with the way things are growing or it's still too early to really say?

    您能否就您所看到的情況給我們提供一些信息,您是否對目前的發展情況感到滿意,或者現在下結論還為時過早?

  • Chia-Lin Simmons - Chief Executive Officer, Director

    Chia-Lin Simmons - Chief Executive Officer, Director

  • Well, I'm never going to be satisfied ever.

    嗯,我永遠不會滿足。

  • My job is to bring more shareholder value via the e-commerce, every channel that we go through.

    我的工作是透過電子商務以及我們所採用的每一個管道為股東帶來更多的價值。

  • So that said, I think it's a little bit too early to tell for those folks who have actually had experience working as a seller on Amazon.

    所以,我認為對於那些真正有過在亞馬遜當賣家經驗的人來說,現在下結論還為時過早。

  • It is not an easy platform to go on.

    這不是一個容易繼續下去的平台。

  • They are difficult in terms of placements.

    他們在安置方面很困難。

  • It's difficult to -- we do shipping through and with them.

    這很困難——我們透過他們進行運輸。

  • And so there are always pluses and minuses of doing that.

    所以這樣做總是有好處和壞處。

  • They certainly take a bite out of your margins as well.

    它們肯定也會蠶食你的利潤。

  • And so -- but it is one of the best methodologies to reach and channels to reach the end consumer.

    所以——但它是接觸最終消費者的最佳方法和管道之一。

  • And so we're actively participating in all of the different programs that's available to us on Amazon, transparency program is to make sure that people are buying brands directly from us and not a used version of the product that may not have warranty on it.

    因此,我們積極參與亞馬遜提供的所有不同計劃,透明度計劃是為了確保人們直接從我們這裡購買品牌產品,而不是購買可能沒有保固的二手產品。

  • We are very focused on actually having -- doing Amazon shipping and all of those things that help us basically get the products handed to the customer as quickly and as easily as possible through the Amazon channels.

    我們非常注重實際擁有——進行亞馬遜運輸以及所有那些幫助我們透過亞馬遜管道盡可能快速、輕鬆地將產品交給客戶的事情。

  • And so we're very excited about the work that we're doing there.

    因此,我們對在那裡所做的工作感到非常興奮。

  • But as anyone who's ever worked in Amazon, it takes a toll and it's a lot of work.

    但就像任何曾經在亞馬遜工作過的人一樣,這需要付出努力並且工作量很大。

  • And so we're clearly working through all of the different layers and challenges that is often to work with Amazon to get to our customer.

    因此,我們顯然正在努力克服與亞馬遜合作時遇到的所有不同層面和挑戰,以便獲得我們的客戶。

  • And I think we're slowly succeeding there, so.

    我認為我們正在慢慢地取得成功。

  • Marla Marin - Analyst

    Marla Marin - Analyst

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • And then switching gears a little bit.

    然後稍微轉換一下話題。

  • So you mentioned in the prepared remarks your patent position, and it's been growing.

    所以您在準備好的發言中提到了您的專利地位,而且它一直在增長。

  • So given the IP portfolio that you have, how are you feeling about potentially -- down the road, obviously, the time line would be subject to what's going on with other things you're working on.

    那麼考慮到您擁有的智慧財產權組合,您對未來的可能性有什麼看法?

  • But how are you thinking right now about potentially down the road, possibly licensing some of the technology to third parties?

    但是您現在如何考慮未來的可能性,是否有可能將部分技術授權給第三方?

  • Chia-Lin Simmons - Chief Executive Officer, Director

    Chia-Lin Simmons - Chief Executive Officer, Director

  • Yes, I think that's a really great question.

    是的,我認為這是一個非常好的疑問。

  • We've been saying that since I joined the company that we're interested in being more than just a hardware company.

    自從我加入公司以來,我們就一直在說,我們不想只是成為一家硬體公司。

  • I'm very proud that along with Mark and my executive team and everybody at LogicMark, actually been working and steadfastly working on ensuring that our margins are high for hardware company.

    我非常自豪,我和馬克以及我的執行團隊以及 LogicMark 的每個人都在努力並堅持不懈地確保我們硬體公司的高利潤率。

  • But as we all know, shareholders are also very interested in ensuring that we have software margins that they're typically seeing out in the technology industry.

    但眾所周知,股東們也非常希望確保我們擁有科技業通常具有的軟體利潤率。

  • And so very soon, you'll actually see the launch of the -- one of the first launches of a very highly visible ecosystem product that we're working on.

    因此,很快您就會看到我們正在開發的備受矚目的生態系統產品的首批發布之一。

  • And so I think that with the portfolio that we have, we certainly see a lot of promise.

    因此我認為,憑藉我們現有的投資組合,我們肯定看到很多前景。

  • We entered this company with a very strong focus on actually building an IP portfolio strategy.

    我們進入這家公司時非常注重建立智慧財產權組合策略。

  • Oftentimes when people approach doing technology companies, you're trying to build new products and you happen to just basically file the patents that is coinciding with the work that you're doing, which I think is very fruitful certainly, but it's not strategic.

    很多時候,當人們開始創辦科技公司時,你正在嘗試打造新產品,而你恰好申請了與你正在做的工作相吻合的專利,我認為這當然非常有成效,但並不具有戰略意義。

  • And so what we've done here is we've built this great technology that we're implementing, but we've also basically put some very strategic structures around the IP portfolio so that we actually have the right products from an IP perspective that would make it very -- more likely for people to want to license from us because if they don't stumble upon one of our IPs or CIPs and so forth.

    因此,我們在這裡所做的就是打造我們正在實施的這項偉大技術,但我們也基本上圍繞著智慧財產權組合建立了一些非常具有戰略意義的結構,以便我們實際上從智慧財產權角度擁有正確的產品,這會讓人們更有可能從我們這裡獲得許可,因為如果他們沒有偶然發現我們的 IP 或 CIP 等等。

  • And so we've been very thoughtful versus randomly shooting about building that portfolio.

    因此,我們在建立該投資組合方面經過了深思熟慮,而不是隨意嘗試。

  • And most importantly, I think there's a lot of talk about AI and Gen AI and all of those things, which is very exciting.

    最重要的是,我認為有很多關於人工智慧、通用人工智慧以及所有這些事情的討論,這非常令人興奮。

  • And we're an applied AI company.

    我們是一家應用人工智慧公司。

  • And so we're very excited about the AI work and the machine learning work that we're doing here because ultimately, the application of AI into the health and personal safety is where we all want to see applications, right?

    因此,我們對我們在這裡所做的人工智慧工作和機器學習工作感到非常興奮,因為最終,人工智慧在健康和人身安全領域的應用是我們都希望看到的應用,對吧?

  • It's always fun to see AI applied to photos and like text and all that kind of stuff.

    看到人工智慧應用於照片、文字和所有這類東西總是很有趣的。

  • That's really fun.

    那真的很有趣。

  • But wouldn't it be better, if we all saw AI apply to the caring of our loved ones, right?

    但是,如果我們都看到人工智慧應用於照顧我們所愛的人,那不是更好嗎?

  • And so we're very excited by the work that we're doing.

    因此,我們對正在做的工作感到非常興奮。

  • Okay, great.

    好的,太好了。

  • Thank you.

    謝謝。

  • And last question from me.

    這是我的最後一個問題。

  • Aster.

    紫菀。

  • It represents a new demographic target market for you, a different way of getting your technology out there.

    它代表了您的一個新的人口目標市場,一種讓您的技術得到推廣的不同方式。

  • Are you getting any meaningful feedback yet?

    您收到任何有意義的回饋了嗎?

  • Or is it still too early since product launch or since launching Aster?

    或者說,自產品發布或推出 Aster 以來,還為時過早?

  • I tend to think that it's always a little bit too early.

    我傾向於認為這總是有點太早了。

  • It really takes time to make sure that everything is well adjusted for product market fit.

    確保一切都適應產品市場確實需要時間。

  • As much as I’m one of many sandwich generation people out there, and I'm a woman who's probably afraid to walk at night, one of the 53% of women who may be a little bit afraid to walk at night by myself, I don't think that I'm my only customer.

    雖然我是眾多「夾心世代」中的一員,而且我可能害怕在晚上走路,但我也是 53% 的女性中的一員,她們可能有點害怕獨自在晚上走路,我不認為我是我唯一的顧客。

  • And so we've really spent a lot of time talking to focus groups and doing the initial testing of the product, and we're making adjustments to the product as well as we're moving forward.

    因此,我們確實花了很多時間與焦點小組交談並對產品進行初步測試,並且我們正在對產品進行調整。

  • This is the beauty in many ways of where the company is directionally today, right?

    從很多方面來說,這都是公司目前發展方向的美妙之處,對嗎?

  • We actually have a very interesting new product that is actually a hardware and software package.

    我們實際上有一個非常有趣的新產品,它實際上是一個硬體和軟體包。

  • And so it gives us opportunity to provide and refresh and enhance as we hear back from customers in a way that if you were actually building a hardware-only company, that feedback loop is just a bit of a longer cycle to adapt to.

    因此,當我們收到客戶的回饋時,它為我們提供了提供、更新和增強服務的機會,如果你實際上正在建立一家純硬體公司,那麼這個回饋循環只需要一個更長的週期來適應。

  • And so you see us basically get feedback constantly from the marketplace and constantly enhancing the product.

    所以你會看到我們基本上不斷從市場獲得回饋並不斷改進產品。

  • And so again, a little bit too early, but you'll see us actually also take on a lot of really cool new activities to market the product in Q4 as well, so.

    所以,再說一次,有點太早了,但你會看到我們實際上也在第四季度開展了很多非常酷的新活動來推銷產品。
