Although there is no big press conference, the low-key artificial intelligence speaker 1S has undergone new changes. In addition to the low-key functions of the previous generation products, it also adds hard-core functions such as infrared remote control, sound source positioning light strip, voice call message and so on.
Last June, the first generation of Xiao Di came out. Compared with early entrants in the smart speaker market such as Xiaomi and Alibaba, Baidu, which entered the market late, unexpectedly caught an early episode: in a quarter, the market share of small speakers jumped rapidly from 2% to 8%. In addition to the low-price strategy, the prosperous hardware ecology, rich content pool and superior AI dialogue ability are all reasons why it has won many praises.
After 10 months of polishing iteration, what surprises did the newly listed small artificial intelligence speaker 1S bring us? The first-hand evaluation of AI Sharp team brings you:
Infrared remote control: speaker seconds remote control
The key point of distinguishing smart speakers from ordinary speakers is that it can not only complete the basic functions of speakers, but also undertake the key functions of smart home life entrance. Whether it is Xiaomi's AIoT home appliance strategy or Ali's Internet of Things ecology, it is ultimately necessary to access home life through smart speakers to help people achieve the goal of liberating their hands.
So, how to access home life, make home appliances intelligent, and understand your instructions?
Xiaomi's approach is to build its own hardware ecology, with smart speakers as the key nodes, connecting everything and completing the connection of hardware ecology; Ali's approach is to take advantage of its powerful platform to bring a large number of third-party manufacturers into the company, join the AliOS system, build its own ecological closed loop, and let Tmall Elf seamlessly access.
However, the small artificial intelligence speaker 1S adopts a clever way. In addition to the cloud platform needed by mainstream smart speakers to control home appliances, infrared remote control is also added to operate most home appliances on the market, which is said to control most infrared remote control home appliances on the market.
Let's see if it's true or not.
The brand of this air conditioner in the office is Gree. I don't know whether it is connected to the Internet of Things for the time being, but what is certain is that it is controlled by infrared remote control (because the remote control can't be found), so let's see how the small artificial intelligence speaker 1S is perfectly controlled:
First, open the small speaker app on the mobile phone;
Select the smart home option and add equipment, and you can see that there are adaptation options such as TV, set-top box and air conditioner.
We choose to adapt air conditioning, and we can see that there are major air conditioning brands in the options, with a wide range of choices. Here we choose Gree;
Then the system will try to send an instruction to the air conditioner, of course, in the form of infrared signal, and then we find that the air conditioner has been turned on successfully!
Next, it is easy to control its switch and change the temperature:
Don't look everywhere for the remote control in the office!
If it's too much trouble to use a mobile phone, you can also directly say to Xiao Di: Xiao Di Xiao Di, add an electric appliance, which will take the initiative to lead you to complete the configuration step by step, without any difficulty in using it.
If you need to access smart lights, sockets and other equipment, you can authorize it separately. Baidu's open ecology supports most intelligent hardware on the market, and it is stress-free to meet the needs of daily smart homes.
As the most frequently used equipment in people's daily life, the small degree has been considered very carefully. If intelligent home life is the future, then the small artificial intelligence speaker 1S is the window to show you the future.
The light belt moves with the sound, and the hidden warning machine is flexible in design.
An anthropomorphic voice assistant has the same characteristics. Whether it's the different responses after waking up or the occasional one-liners in conversation, smart speaker manufacturers want to strengthen the spirituality of smart speakers.
At this point, the small-scale artificial intelligence speaker 1S enhances the 8-second conversation ability and can be operated without waking up again, and at the same time, it adds a small-scale design sound source positioning light strip that hides the heart.
Compared with the light strips of other speakers on the market, the light strips of small artificial intelligence speakers 1S are not only wake-up reminders, but also key information reminders:
In addition, it also has the sound source localization effect, which will change the lighting effect with the direction of your voice:
This is a very lovely and humanized design.
Voice call message: Fool's operation liberates hands
In addition to the above two new functions, the small artificial intelligence speaker 1S has also added the voice call message function.
Small-scale artificial intelligence speaker 1S provides convenient, free and clear network voice calls. You can add the phone address book to the small speaker APP, and then directly say to the small speaker: small, just call XX, fool operation, free users' hands.
However, in the evaluation, we found that this function is not perfect, and the small team will update it iteratively in the follow-up meeting, so that the small 1 can move forward to the role of VoIP, so stay tuned.
Then we tested the message function of the low-degree artificial intelligence speaker 1S: the publicity indicated that the speaker and the APP could send and view messages to each other, so we first sent messages to the speaker through the low-degree speaker APP:
Soon a small reaction came, flashing green light, accompanied by a voice prompt that you have new news:
Then we try to send a message to the mobile phone with a small artificial intelligence speaker1s. This process is very simple. Just say to it: Tiny Tiny, I want to leave a message, and your mobile phone will be pushed by the small speaker:
Voice call message is a function that most smart speakers are scrambling to develop at present. The Tmall Elf CC, which was launched at the same time as the small artificial intelligence speaker 1S, also launched the same function. The improvement of voice call function is likely to change people's input and output patterns and subvert the usage habits of smart phones, which is also the reason why smart speaker manufacturers compete fiercely on this track.
Rich functions and massive content are waiting for you to explore.
In addition to the above new functions, the small-scale artificial intelligence speaker 1S continues the fine tradition of the previous generation speaker: built-in ARM Cortex A53 quad-core processor, low power consumption, high integration 1.75 inch full-frequency internal magnetic speaker, professional power amplifier and tuning; High-profile dual passive radiators make bass more explosive, and full-band high-fidelity internal magnetic speakers clearly restore the delicate layering of songs.
The content copyright library has also maintained its previous basic amount: supported by more than 30 audio content partners, and its resources cover music, education, entertainment, finance and other fields, including Himalayan FM, Dragonfly FM, Kai Shu, CITIC Academy, Pocket Story and so on. , and automatically play the latest issue of time-sensitive content to provide users with a richer listening experience.
Cooperate with QQ music in music content, access tens of millions of genuine music library resources, massive music library, you have everything you want.
In addition, the small artificial intelligence speaker 1S also has an upgraded children's model. On the basis of the small-scale smart speaker children model, the baby plan is added to establish a children's age-divided learning system, which is fun and entertaining. Children gain more trust in experiencing the interactive fun of the speaker, and also bring more and more interesting companionship experiences to children.
In the small speaker app, we also found many skills: we can play solitaire with Xiao and have an English conversation with Xiao. As a children's early education machine, Xiao can be said to be quite excellent.
On the whole, as a speaker, the small artificial intelligence speaker 1S has a huge amount of music and audio content, so you don't have to worry about copyright issues like Xiao Ai. As the console of smart home, it can access most infrared-controlled household appliances in the market, covering mainstream brands of air conditioners, televisions and set-top boxes. It is a category that we often use every day and can meet the needs of most families. As a children's early education machine, it has a variety of interactive modes and a strong sense of companionship, which can provide children with services such as telling stories, chatting, falling asleep and playing games.
Generally speaking, the small artificial intelligence speaker 1S is more like an intelligent player, suitable for the elderly and children at home.
Strategy Analytics "Global Smart Speaker Market Report for the Fourth Quarter of 2065438+08" shows that the shipment of small series smart speakers exceeds Xiaomi's fourth in the world and China's second. As a latecomer, the success of small speakers in a short time is inseparable from the prosperous ecology behind Baidu: as of 20 18 12 3 1, the number of smart devices equipped with small assistants has exceeded 200 million; 20 18,1February, the monthly voice interaction of the assistant reached1600 million times.
Under such a strong background, a small artificial intelligence speaker 1S can realize smooth and complete man-machine dialogue and functional satisfaction.
