introduction

The pen, an ancient and extremely common writing tool, is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless ancestors. Since the birth of human beings, the pen has emerged as a carrier of civilization inheritance. However, human civilization has lasted for millions of years, and the pen has only played a role from beginning to end, that is, the writing function. Now we have entered the 21st century with highly developed Internet and artificial intelligence. Looking back at the history of pen development, we can't help asking: Is pen just a pure writing tool? After millions of years of development, why not give our pen new revolutionary elements? Yes, changes are taking place. When intelligent hardware is coming like a tide, and the Internet+wave is surging, the traditional manufacturing industry has joined the wings of the Internet to welcome the arrival of the new era. During this period, the pen, as a traditional tool, has also been given new era characteristics by the times, and has gradually become intelligent from a single writing tool, Smart pens are also springing up in the market. Today, let's walk into the world of a smart pen - Vicibo Anti myopia Smart Pen, and feel the charm of this smart pen!

Before the evaluation, first of all, I would like to thank the students of Lei Feng.com for their offer of trial places, which gave me the opportunity to have a look at this smart pen and complete this evaluation article.

Unpacking

Like the packaging design of many digital products, the white long box of Vicibo Smart Pen is simple and generous, and the white color is more approachable. Because the main idea of this smart pen is to prevent myopia, the green color of the coat on the packaging box is consistent with the product concept. The front of the green coat indicates that the product name is Learning Smart Pen, On the back is some basic information of the product, including product parameters and manufacturer, etc. The specific parameters of the smart pen will be mentioned below.

Open the packing box, you can see today's protagonist, Vicebal Smart Pen, lying in it like a sleeping beauty, with two half arcs in the middle. The humanized design is convenient to handle the pen.

The following is a family portrait of Vicibo Smart Pen, including the main character's smart pen, the outer packaging box, the packaging jacket, the charging data cable, the product instruction manual and three pack certificate, as well as two interchangeable pencil lead and fountain pen lead.

appearance

The body of Vicibo Smart Pen is mainly white. From the outside, the Vicibo Smart Pen is equipped with an OLED display screen and a pressure sensor in the pen holding area. There is not much difference between Vicibo Smart Pen and ordinary writing pen. The pen body is 15.2cm long, weighs only 16g, and is extremely light.

At the same time, the smart pen uses a 95mAh lithium polymer battery. The theoretical standby time is 1.5 months. The appearance is made of ABS+PC materials, that is, ABS and PC mixed materials. The performance of the two materials is better than that of a single ABS or PC, and this material is widely used in trolley cases in life.

The pen holding area is equipped with two pressure sensing chips, which can control the expansion and contraction of the pen core by touching the bilateral touch sensing film at the pen tip. At the same time, the distance from the pen tip to the sensing film is 3cm, which is the most standard pen holding distance, and can avoid the myopia caused by the wrong pen holding.

Further up, you will come to the middle part of the pen - the indicator light and the speaker. If the gesture of holding the pen is wrong, the indicator light will be displayed in red, accompanied by a voice prompt. When you put down the smart pen, the indicator light will be displayed in blue.

★ Back speaker

Go up again and you will see the OLED display screen. When you hold the pen correctly, the display screen will display the pen time. If you hold the pen incorrectly, an error message will be displayed on the display screen.

At the top is the power key. Long press to switch on and off, short press to control the opening and closing of voice function

function

● Light sensing: the intelligent pen is equipped with a light sensor inside, which can detect the surrounding light in real time. If the light is too dark or too bright, it will prompt. At this time, the pen head will not pop up, fundamentally protecting the child's vision.

● Sitting posture correction: Vicibo intelligent pen is equipped with infrared detection function. When the eyes are too close to the pen tip, a voice warning will be issued, and the pen head will not pop out, to prevent the hunchback caused by being too close to the desk during writing, which can well correct the child's sitting posture.

● Grasping posture correction: the smart pen contains a 3D axis sensor. When the pen holding angle is incorrect, the smart pen will also give a warning to prevent children from myopia due to incorrect pen holding posture.

● Time test: Long time use of eyes is definitely bad for children's vision. Vicebal Smart Pen can conduct real-time detection of pen time. If the pen time is too long, it will remind children to take a rest in time to prevent excessive use of eyes.

●“BP” Communication mode: This is an important point that the author emphasizes. Parents can monitor their children's pen use through the official Weicibao APP. The real-time data of children's pen use and pen accuracy will be transmitted to the parents' mobile phone APP through Bluetooth. Parents can well understand whether their children have done their homework. In the past, when children came home, parents would usually ask "Have you done your homework today?"? ”In fact, children's psychology is very uncomfortable at this time. With this smart pen, children can just prove that they have done their homework. Parents can know whether children really do their homework with a pen and how much time they spend on it through APP, so that they can communicate with children well and reduce the friction between parents and children. This is another highlight of Vicibo Smart Pen in addition to preventing myopia.

APP experience

Open the Weicibao APP and you can see that there are five options at the bottom, namely home page, data analysis, parameter setting, personal center and contact us.

The following describes these options one by one

① Home page: After all this talk, some people may think that this smart pen does have many novel functions and many highlights. But what if I think it is too troublesome to limit too many operations? It doesn't matter. The designer of this smart pen has fully considered this, Therefore, when we enter the homepage option, we can see that the smart pen supports switching between intelligent mode and normal mode. The so-called intelligent mode includes all the above monitoring functions. In the normal mode, the pen is no longer intelligent and becomes an ordinary pen. At the same time, we can see that the smart pen also supports opening and closing of a single function, For example, you can only turn off the distance monitoring or angle monitoring function, which is also very user-friendly.

② In the data analysis, we can see the use status and use trend. The use status is the situation of pen use on that day, including the correct rate, light error rate, grip error rate, grip error rate, angle and sitting error rate. The final results are presented in the form of pie chart. In the trial trend, we can make a line chart analysis of daily pen use. Through the line chart, parents can understand the trend of children's pen use, such as whether the accuracy rate has increased, whether the error rate of sitting posture has decreased, and so on.

③ In the parameter setting option, you can set the parameters of writing angle, writing distance, use time and lighting, and you can also control The sound control switch can also select intelligent or normal mode here.

④ The Personal Center can manage smart pens and add multiple smart pens.

⑤ Contact us here is mainly the various contact methods of Vicebal, which can realize the interaction between users and enterprises.

deficiencies

Is such a tall smart pen really perfect? Of course, the answer is no, no matter how perfect any product is, there will always be flaws. The author found some shortcomings of this smart pen in the use of a few days, which are objectively pointed out below.

① When the light is too dark or too bright, the intelligent pen will have a prompt message, but it only stays at the prompt level. If you add an LED light, it will be more perfect to automatically light up when the light is too dark. In addition, when the light is too bright, there will be a prompt. The pen tip will not pop out, but sometimes the light brightness cannot be adjusted due to the limitations of the surrounding environment. At this time, if you need to use a pen and the prompt light is too bright, it will be very helpless. Therefore, I think the function that the light is too bright will also prompt seems to be a bit redundant, sometimes it will just backfire.

② It is inconvenient to change the refill: the refill of the Vicebal Smart Pen is different from the refill in the market. It is a cut short refill. If you want to change the refill, you need to go to the official website to buy a special refill, which undoubtedly increases the use cost of consumers. Although the manufacturer benefits, it is not cost-effective for consumers, Therefore, it is hoped that the next generation of products can use the refills with uniform specifications in the market, and consumers will no longer have to buy special refills for this purpose, which will certainly be of great benefit to the popularity of this smart pen.

③ The cylindrical design of the intelligent pen makes it easy to roll, and it will fall to the ground if you are not careful, so you should consider improving this design 。

summary

The tide of the Internet and intelligent hardware rises one after another. With the promotion of the National Internet Plus, more and more traditional industries have begun to actively embrace the Internet. A variety of novel intelligent hardware have also emerged one after another. Intelligent hardware has ushered in the spring of rapid development, so it is now a good outlet for intelligent hardware manufacturers, This Vicibo intelligent pen, which is aimed at preventing myopia, has transformed the traditional writing pen by adding an intelligent sensor module, which can detect and remind children's sitting and holding positions in real time, so as to achieve the role of prevention. Although there are some unsatisfactory places, it is also harmless. Personally, I feel that its market prospect is very bright. As its founder said, this smart pen still has many years of imagination in the future, for example, it can be used as the tablet's somatosensory game controller in combination with the tablet. At the same time, most sensors of the smart bracelet are included in it, which can develop countless functions like the smart bracelet. In the near future, perhaps every child will have a "magic pen" to accompany him to learn and chat. It is believed that in the near future, intelligent pens will gradually become popular and enter the homes of ordinary people.
