With the widespread popularity of smart phones and the increasing number of private cars, uncivilized behaviors such as looking at mobile phones and making phone calls while driving have also become increasingly prominent, becoming one of the other high-risk incentives for traffic safety, no less than the illegal behavior of drunk driving. It is understood that looking at mobile phones and making phone calls while driving lead to traffic safety accidents 23 times more likely than normal driving, The number of fatal accidents caused is 10 times that of drunk driving, which is amazing. Therefore, for the sake of family and safe driving, it is absolutely not allowed to make phone calls or watch mobile phones while driving. But for work and other reasons, what should we do if we have to use mobile phones while driving? This is a very contradictory problem, but today, we don't have to worry about it anymore, because we have Xiaoyi - Yilian Fangkong intelligent safe driving assistant that we are anxious to think about.

Yilian Fangkong Intelligent Safe Driving Assistant (hereinafter: Xiaoyi) is a smart phone connected vehicle electronic product developed and produced by Wuhan Karbit Information Co., Ltd. based on the concept of safe travel and civilized driving. Through Xiaoyi, you can quickly connect your mobile phone and the vehicle navigator, achieve blind operation without screen, and open navigation, play music, answer and make calls as you like, From then on, we will say goodbye to the bad habit of having to watch the screen when using mobile phones, such as driving to make phone calls, and be responsible for our own safety as well as the safety of others, so as to be a really good driver for safe travel and civilized driving.

1、 Unpacking:

The packaging box of Xiaoyi is very small, which is almost the same size as the packaging box of Apple mobile phone. It is designed as a hard paper box that can be pulled up and down, which is very convenient to open.

On the front of the box is Xiaoyi's three-dimensional effect picture and the words "Yilian Fangkong Intelligent Safe Driving Assistant". It looks very simple and fresh. Around the box is a silver gray product name logo. On the back is the product name, battery type, manufacturer, packing content, as well as relevant information such as support for mobile phone system and APP download QR code. It can be seen that Xiaoyi's packaging is very careful, Even the applicable battery type and supported mobile phone system are clearly marked.

When opening the box, the first thing I saw was a cute Xiaoyi that looked like a smart watch. There were button batteries, user manuals and other accessories inside (Note: since battery products cannot be transported by air, lovely and thoughtful @ Xiaomengmeng took out the batteries, so there were no batteries in Xiaoyi I experienced. I found the batteries myself and thanked @ Xiaomengmeng again). Xiaoyi has three colors of champagne gold, vitality blue and elegant gray to choose from. I was lucky to experience champagne gold. The four leaf clover looks very grand and fashionable. One page has five keys, and different colors are used to mark and distinguish, which is very intuitive and easy to remember.

The black frosted watchband is very delicate and beautiful, and the anti slip tooth design is added inside to ensure that Xiaoyi can be stably fixed on the steering wheel and ensure the comfort of operation.

The user manual of Xiaoyi shows the details of the installation of batteries, Xiaoyi's installation, the installation of mobile phone APP and the specific operation methods of Xiaoyi in the form of diagrams. It is very considerate to quickly understand and master how to operate Xiaoyi through the user manual. It is worth mentioning that the words "Yilian Square Control Engineering Prototype" are marked at the bottom of Xiaoyi's user manual. It can be seen that this is just an engineering prototype, and there are inevitable minor shortcomings. We are looking forward to a very perfect formal mass production machine.

2、 Functional parameters and auxiliary equipment:

1. Function parameters:

Xiaoyi, as a driver who keeps track of the road and returns to safety, has endowed Xiaoyi with the characteristics of compact appearance, simple design and simple operation, based on the concept of reducing complexity to simplicity and safe driving. Its main core functions are one button navigation, playing music at will, answering and making calls, and broadcasting road conditions. It connects with mobile phones through Bluetooth, controls with one button, and switches quickly in one second, It brings smooth control experience and safe and civilized driving enjoyment.

2. Auxiliary equipment:

Hardware: Yilian Square Control, MX PRO+Pinsheng handheld video, Buick Excelle

Software: Android 5.1 system

3、 Installation experience:

1. Installation:

First, install the battery: take out the battery compartment box on the side of Xiaoyi and put in the button battery. Pay special attention to the fact that when discharging the battery, the positive pole must face down. There are also marks in the Xiaoyi battery box. Otherwise, it can not be used normally in light cases and may damage Xiaoyi in heavy cases. After placing the battery, just push in the battery box and clamp it. At this time, it should also be noted that the battery compartment box must clamp the fixed gear, otherwise the rear installation of Xiaoyi cannot be fixed well. After installing the battery, the white light on the left of Xiaoyi will flash once, indicating that the installation is correct.

(Warm tip: Xiaoyi applies the CR2032 button battery, but the author seems to have no problem using the CR2020 battery, but the author does not recommend this operation, please be careful)

Second, the installation of Xiaoyi: because Xiaoyi adopts a tool free installation design, it can not only adapt to steering wheels of different thicknesses, but also is very simple and convenient to install. It can be done in a minute for both men and women. Because the author is a sweaty person, he added a steering wheel cover. Even so, Xiaoyi can be easily installed and fixed. So the author thinks that Xiaoyi's design is very good. It can not only be firmly installed, but also adapt to steering wheels of different sizes.

The third is the installation of mobile phone APP: the use of Xiaoyi, which is connected with mobile phone intelligence, cannot be separated from the matching mobile phone APP, so you must first install the corresponding mobile phone APP software, use mobile phone or tablet and other devices to scan the two-dimensional code on the back of the packaging box or in the user manual to download, and then follow the software prompts to complete the installation.

2. Experience:

Of course, if you want to use Xiaoyi to control your mobile phone, you also need to open the Bluetooth function of your mobile phone to connect, and you need to register and log in. Xiaoyi uses Bluetooth 4.0 technology and AES 128CCM encryption to ensure a stable connection and personal privacy.

After completing the above installation steps, click the Xiaoyi icon to enter the main interface of the software. Elion's driving assistant software adopts an adaptive horizontal screen design. As long as the software is opened, its automatic horizontal screen is convenient for operation. The design is really considerate. Secondly, it also uses a four grid screen interface specially designed for the driving environment that matches the small four leaf clover shape, making the control more intuitive. The main interface of the software has four modules, which correspond to navigation, music, fast navigation and call answering functions, and correspond to Xiaoyi's buttons one by one. At the same time, you can also add frequently used applications to achieve screen free blind control through Xiaoyi. Even when driving, you can easily and safely play with your mobile phone, allowing you to drive safely and play with your mobile phone. In addition, Yilian driving assistant also supports signing in to save points for gifts, which is really good. However, the personal feeling of the current Yilian driving assistant still needs to be further optimized, because in the process of the author's experience of operation, the software has been suspended for many times without response.

After successful connection, you can imagine the convenience and safety Xiaoyi has brought to us. Click the button on the upper left corner to directly enter the navigation interface, which has a built-in Gaud map and is updated in real time. This can kill all vehicles that cannot update the map in real time, and the interface designed for driving looks very clear. First of all, you need to set up quick navigation. There are four options: "Go Home", "Company", "Favorites" and "History", which can be operated through the buttons corresponding to Xiaoyi, without looking at the phone screen, which ensures safe driving while convenient operation.

If you want to go back to the main interface, simply press the round home key in the middle of Xiao Yi Key), you can quickly return to each other's main interface, and perform corresponding operations through corresponding keys. The buttons on the upper right side correspond to music playing, the buttons on the lower left corner correspond to quick navigation, and the buttons on the lower right corner correspond to answering calls. Under each function module interface, there are corresponding functions, and they all correspond to Xiaoyi buttons, and the settings are classified in great detail, Therefore, there is no need to worry about the situation that Xiaoyi cannot operate.

If you press the home key in the middle for a long time, it is to call the voice assistant. Xiaoyi has built in the customized voice assistant of iFLYTEK. In the actual experience, the author has tried to let it play music, make calls and start navigation. It is almost a success, and the correct recognition rate is very high.

I recorded a video for you to watch. For the convenience of recording the video, I put my Pinsheng handheld video on the steering wheel. This is not the way to actually drive, but it is. Please remember.

Yilian Square Control Operation demonstration Video: (Note: The tablet is placed on the steering wheel for the convenience of video recording. This is absolutely not allowed during actual driving. Please remember.)

3. Vehicle engine interconnection:

Through learning from the official website and forum of Yilian Fangkong, we know that Xiaoyi can realize the interconnection of vehicles and machines. Just download and install the corresponding software and follow the operation to complete the connection, and project the mobile phone screen to the vehicle navigation screen in real time.

But I don't know whether it's my navigation or what's going on. I tried N many times but failed to connect. Because the navigation is not the original car's navigation, and I have forgotten the specific brand, so I'm still trying to find out. In view of the rush to submit the experience report, I can only regretfully put aside the experience of this function for a while, and I will continue to study it later. I sincerely apologize to Lei Feng for his trial, because in the attitude of being objective, fair, and practical in the evaluation, I would not judge the function that has not been tried. Sorry.

4、 Summary:

Through the experience of the past few days, I feel that Xiaoyi's four leaf clover is very beautiful, the key design is very good, the key stroke is moderate, and the operation is simple and comfortable. The four squares correspond to four leaf clover. The operation is clear at a glance, simple and convenient, and Xiaoyi is quick to respond. There is almost no delay. However, there are still areas for further improvement, which have the following advantages and disadvantages.

advantage:

1. The four leaf grass shape corresponds to the four grid design, which is easy to operate and very user-friendly.

2. The Bluetooth connection is fast and stable, the key range is moderate, and the operation is not delayed.

3. Built in Gaud map, real-time update, intelligent setting of commuting destination, planning of the best route, intelligent reminder, very practical and thoughtful.

4. It realizes the perfect combination of people, cars and life, and makes driving safe and convenient.

Insufficient:

1. The function is limited. Although Xiaoyi has achieved most of the blind operation without screen to ensure that you don't need to look at your mobile phone when driving, some function settings in the software can only be operated through your mobile phone, and the volume can't be adjusted in the music playing mode, which will affect the use and experience somewhat. It is recommended that you can continue to improve in the future.

2. The software needs to be further optimized and improved. In the process of using experience, the author had to log out and log in again after several times of suspended animation. It is estimated that the software optimization is not in place, and it is suggested that further optimization and improvement can be made in the future.

In short, the rapid development of science and technology has promoted the continuous improvement of the functions of intelligent vehicle terminal products, and we look forward to the arrival of the formal mass production version of Yilian Fangkong with powerful and perfect functions.
