Baidu released a compact and sturdy 'small smart speaker' on June 11 and announced that Tsai Kang-yung has become a spokesperson for 'Little Smart Speaker', highlighting the characteristics of 'little talk'.
Small degree can speak and speak. Knowing that geography knows astronomy, can calculate translation, listening to broadcast storytelling riddles, is not only the companions of adults, but also the playmates of the children.
The reason why the degree of subtlety is so smart and unappealing is, of course, because of Baidu's powerful technical support and DuerOS, which is equipped with a conversational AI operating system. It strives to create a hardware-uncompromising, smarter experience, and richer content. The better the product, the less clever it is, the longer you use it, the more you can understand it.
The Xiaodu smart speakers released this time are only available in grey models. The price is 249 yuan. The early adopters price is only 89 yuan. It's almost cheaper to explode! It is available online at Jingdong Mall, Xiaodu Mall, etc. In addition to knowing you more, smart speakers also have 'children mode' and 'geek mode', which brings us more surprises. Let's get ahead of ourselves.
Round appearance, cute and cute
At present, most smart speakers seem to be just a 'speaker', and there is no particular change in appearance. But in the design of speakers, for the application of materials, visual effects and family, the integration of users, and more humane, With simple and quick operations, the space for exploration remains large.
The small smart speaker has a cylindrical appearance and looks rounded, with a diameter of 90mm and a height of about 102.4mm. This is a white body. The top circle and the lower part of the fuselage consist of high-grade fabrics. Compared with previously released small smart video speakers, they are similar in material and design.
The reason why it is a circular design, the first is in the interaction, Xiaodu intelligent speaker uses a high-sensitivity ring wheat design, with active noise reduction, beam forming and far and near field pickup technology, within 5 meters easy voice wake.
In addition to sound effects, High-sensitivity full-range speaker, with a new acoustic cone design, can achieve a good 360 ° no dead listening experience.
Speaking of user experience, in the experience of many smart speakers, we also found that in the family, children's curiosity about smart speakers is even greater. Chatting with small speakers simply cannot stop.
Therefore, for children in the family, the appearance of the speaker design should also consider the child's active and curious behavior. For example, in terms of weight, there must be no sharp edges in appearance, and the material should meet the standards 5. The child can play at any time without causing harm.
The sleek design of a small smart speaker is also very reasonable.
The control buttons of the small smart speaker are located in the white area at the top, symmetrical four corners design, namely volume + - button, play/pause button, disable/enable microphone button.
The middle is slightly sunk, which reflects the excellent smooth feel. When the power is turned on, Baidu's bear paw logo will light up, and the status of the current speaker can be identified by the color of the light. Specifically:
Blue light: Turn on the orange light: Network configuration mode (When you need to reconfigure the network, you can long press the triangle play button more than 3 seconds) Purple light: Microphone disable red light: Network failure (Network is not connected)
Since there is no built-in battery, lighting the small speaker requires connecting the power adapter, the power connector is located at the bottom of the fuselage, relatively hidden, the power input is 12V/1A. In addition, the bottom of the fuselage has a non-slip design and is also stable on the table. .
In terms of hardware parameters, the core of the small smart speaker adopts the ARM Cortex A53 quad-core processor, low power consumption, high integration, and can perfectly present faster speech recognition speed and better audio processing effects.
The audio system is equipped with a 1.75-inch high-sensitivity full-range yoke iron magnetic horn, rated impedance 6 ohms, maximum output power is higher than 5W; In addition to supporting WiFi, Bluetooth V4.2 Bluetooth protocol, both with small speakers To achieve network interaction, you can also directly play mobile phone content via mobile phone Bluetooth.
Through the appearance design and hardware installation, it can be seen that the small smart speakers are also a lot of hard work on the hardware, not only the sturdy, clever appearance, including sound, sound processing, 360 ° sound, sound field The creation, you can feel the small degree of smart speakers although affordable, but in hardware is indeed an uncompromising product.
Connection: Support WiFi and Bluetooth
Xiaodu smart speaker supports Bluetooth connection and WiFi connection. The Bluetooth connection is very simple. As long as the Bluetooth connection with the mobile phone is well configured, it can support the content playback on the mobile phone, such as music, playing the WeChat voice, etc. But the Bluetooth mode can not be interactive, so Want to experience better interaction, let smart speakers become your intimate assistant, also need to connect WiFi wireless network.

Interaction and experience
Learn more about your smallness
Intelligent hardware products do not simply execute commands, but they can learn more about you after a period of interaction. In this interaction, listening to music is a basic requirement for almost all smart speakers, but what type of songs do you like to hear?
Classic or popular, English or Japanese, light music or DJ? After using the smart speaker for a while, it will automatically 'master' your hobbies. When you say 'small', you can play it again. Songs' fuzzy instructions, small smart speakers can recommend for you a song that matches your taste.

When you arrive home at 23 o'clock in the evening, Xiaodu will say, 'You're finally back, I finally know what day is not seen like every other day'; if you arrive home at 2 am, Xiaodu will say, 'You will definitely become The richest person, rest early.
In different time periods, it can surprise you at any time. This is the slightest degree of understanding of you and the most warmhearted.
A small fairy tale world: original children's model
Smart speakers based on the children's model are really rare, but Xiaodu smart speakers are not for the children to create a cartoon model, but for the children's innocence, curiosity and other characteristics, in particular to create a series of children's resources and more in line with children's communication Experience mode.
The thinking of adults can never keep up with the eyes of children. The world in children’s eyes is different from that in the eyes of adults. They ask the simplest questions that are not necessarily good to answer, and they may pursue it. After questioning, the adults often get speechless, thinking out, but after a small degree, things may become different.
The first is the zero communication distance. The tone of the adults speaks. The children may not like it. They have their own way of communication, so when the children communicate with the Xiaodu intelligent speaker, Xiaodu will respond with a more lively and lovely language. , rather than the standard 'news feed' language.
Secondly, with respect to content, Xiaodu Smart Speaker integrates many Chinese and foreign fairy tale works, as well as Chinese ancient poetry, children's music and other rich resources. Want to tell a story before going to bed?
The grown-ups are already trapped or are unable to tell a fresh story after a period of time. But fortunately there are minorities, not only do they not know how tired they are, but telling stories is a good idea for a small degree.
Want to better communicate with children, and entertaining, small can also play with the child to guess who I am Guess the animal, Chinese to English, oral proficiency, multiplication table, adventure world, etc. Interesting content , Let your child play indefinitely.
On the other hand, we know that if children are allowed to go online, what is most worrying is that children receive unhealthy information.
The minor was firstly equipped with DuerOS, and had a deep cooperation with the AI Semantic Triangle. In the interaction with children, it can filter sensitive and unhealthy information to 0.006%, such as defamation, pornography, and pornography. Degrees may be replaced with a different language.
In addition, minorities can also identify children's negative emotions in their interactions with their children, and conduct healthy and active guidance.
Geek model
There are always people who don’t like to call each time they wake up the smart speaker, especially continuous question and answer interactions. When interacting with a small degree, there’s no need to be so tedious. Once you’ve turned on the geek mode of smallness, you can Continuous question and answer, do not need to wake up 'small degree'.
The method of opening is very simple. If you say 'minor degree, open the geek mode', you will be able to talk in a row. 'Small and small, what's a good movie recently?', 'Who is the star of the second movie?' ', 'What movie did he play?' and so on, you don't need to call out every little time. Of course you can also turn off this function, just say 'minor degree, turn off geek mode'.
Evaluation summary:
As part of a smart home, smart speakers are an indispensable element, but Baidu is not the choice of home as a smart speaker.
Baidu DuerOS has now entered the smart home, car, wearable, mobile and other scenes, covering almost all areas of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation. It can be said that as long as there are intelligent scenes that can be used for voice interaction, DuerOS may be present.
