[Preface]

The smart home life in the tail's mind is to get rid of the dependence on mobile phone instructions with the support of the Internet, big data and various smart devices with unified standards. It is simple to the extreme. If you say what you want, you will be successful.

From now on, the smart home interaction mode of "saying what you want is successful" is no longer extravagant. Jingdong Smart and iFLYTEK jointly produced a product called Dingdong Smart Speaker, the biggest feature of which is that the mobile phone can be discarded after being connected to the network APP It also does not need any manual operation, and directly realizes human-computer interaction through voice, which can be called "zero touch". More importantly, Dingdong smart speakers can become the voice control entrance of smart homes through voice control access to smart home devices. For example, use voice control to switch TV, air conditioner, curtain, etc.

However, there is no intelligent product connected to JD Microlink on the tail hand. It can only experience other function realization, voice control, product design and other aspects. Although there is a suspicion of peeking into the background, its ability can also be seen. ▼

Product Design

Previously, Tail wrote an open box and detailed picture guide of "Take it easy after washing the lead - Ding Dong's first impression of smart speakers", but in the experience, he could not help but have such a comment on Ding Dong's appearance. There are two points in the product design of Dingdong smart speakers that attract me very much. The first is the design idea of the round sky and place. Second, consideration of details. ▼

The round sky and the place is the time-space concept of the wisdom of the old ancestors, which talks about time and space. In a sense, the smart home life we aspire to is to let us shuttle freely and easily in time and space. The tail is broken. Dingdong smart speakers are positioned at the entrance of smart home, so they use the elements of round sky and place in the product appearance design. The perfect combination of this cultural tradition and modern intelligence is very brilliant and well positioned. ▼

The design and interaction details of Dingdong smart speakers are also considered. For example, on the top center voice search button JD+ Identification and + The design logo echoes from afar. For another example, the interface layout and notch design of the power cord are both stable and beautiful. ▼

In addition, a ring of light band is designed on the top of Dingdong smart speakers, which can display the status of voice recognition through color changes. When the voice is correctly recognized, the light band will flash white light; When the voice cannot be recognized, the light band is displayed in blue. The Dingdong smart speaker voice reminder is not heard clearly, and if there is a play task before, it will continue; When the content cannot be searched, the light band is displayed in green. The Dingdong smart speaker voice reminder cannot be searched. If there is a previous play task, it will continue. ▼

[The first time, or the last time]

Intelligent products are like swimming fish WiFi The ocean. The first time to use Dingdong smart speaker, it still needs to be installed on the mobile phone APP , log in and fill in relevant information WiFi After the information, use the acoustic networking method to access WiFi . Although this connection method is highly technical, you should be careful about the distance between the phone volume and the two when connecting with sound waves. Otherwise, there will be failure. The key is to keep the volume low and close. As long as the networking is successful and the power is cut off and then turned on, Dingdong smart speakers can be automatically networked. ▼

stay APP You can also manage the connected smart appliances, change the nickname of Dingdong smart speakers, and check the speaker information. It can be seen that the total internal capacity of Dingdong smart speakers is 2G It is recommended to add expansion slots for the next generation of products to facilitate capacity expansion. ▼

[Voice OR key]

Dingdong smart speaker removal APP The most important control methods are voice control and key control. As we all know, iFLYTEK has long-term accumulation and advantages in voice technology. It is the largest voice technology provider in China, so Dingdong's voice recognition is still technically guaranteed.

After experience, when the speaker itself plays music or there is noise from other external sources at a distance of about three meters, "Ding Dong Ding Dong" of ordinary volume can wake up the Ding Dong smart speaker and enter the voice standby monitoring stage. At this time, you can send out "What's the weather like tomorrow?" "Remind me at six o'clock in the afternoon" "I want to listen to Faye Wong's song" and other similar voice commands, which can basically be recognized normally. From three to five If you want to recognize speech correctly within the range of meters, you should speak louder. Further away, the recognition rate will be very low. Of course, the recognition degree can be achieved, and the effect is very good, which also conforms to the product introduction five Ultra long distance voice wake-up, and three hundred and sixty All directional speech recognition technology. ▼

On the accuracy and breadth of speech recognition content. On the one hand, try to speak Mandarin, if the dialect is heavy, it will be difficult to identify. On the other hand, the identifiable content is not very broad. Weather, songs, story telling, chat, and speaker control are all easy to do, but it involves some practical and specific matters, such as "I'm going to Beijing to check the number of bullet trains", "How about stocks today", "Help me check the phone number of Banyang Villa", and so on, Am I a bit hard pressed and picky? ▼

At the same time, Dingdong smart speakers can also be operated by physical buttons through the control panel on the top. For the elderly and children who are not standard in Mandarin, the physical buttons are straightforward. Collection can be realized through entity keys / Subscribe, switch between front and back songs or radio stations, play / Pause, volume adjustment and other operations. The special one is the sound adjustment. The sliding operation is adopted. The clockwise sliding is to increase the volume, and the counterclockwise sliding is to reduce the volume. ▼

[Notable sound quality and resources]

Dingdong smart speakers are designed internally in combination with the round sky, round place and cylindrical appearance four The speaker unit with two directions has the advantage of enabling sound three hundred and sixty In every corner of the room, there are gains and losses. The disadvantage is that only one speaker unit is facing us, while the other speaker units are facing the other three directions. There will be a slight loss in sound quality performance. Relatively speaking, in the actual experience, the sound of Dingdong smart speakers is loud and balanced, which conforms to the positioning of desktop speakers. It is recommended to place it near the middle of the room. Both voice interaction and voice performance should be better. ▼

Dingdong smart speakers integrate Baidu Music, Migu Music QQ Music, Himalayas and other resources can still meet the needs in terms of songs and radio resources, and can also be collected, self built playlists and other operations. At the same time, you can also connect the speaker with your mobile phone through Bluetooth, and use Ding Dong as a pure music speaker. ▼

[Last words]

On the whole, the Dingdong smart speaker experience during this period was very good. Every morning when he got up and washed, he asked how the weather was, and asked him to play some music for dinner in the evening. Next, the tail hopes that iFLYTEK's voice content can be richer and broader, and then add learning functions through cloud data, not only data resources but also language habits, so that the accuracy of recognition will be further improved. At the same time, we are also looking forward to the future voice controlled smart home life, hoping that it can be popularized to the public as soon as possible and become a reality.
