The reason why it is called a smart speaker is that it can complete many functions through voice commands, which is the same as most smart speakers. When you say a wake-up word (叮咚叮咚), ​​you can issue a corresponding command. How to play music, check weather, read news, etc.

The 2nd generation is the world's first intelligent speaker capable of customizing wake-up words. You can give your favorite 2nd-generation wake-up name according to your preferences. This awakening word does not necessarily have to be two repeating words, but it is recommended that you use more than 4 syllables, either your name, the name of your idol star, or some special name.

Voiceprint recognition is almost one of the necessary functions of all smart speakers. Each family member can make corresponding voiceprint entry, and the speaker will respond accordingly according to different member settings. Voiceprint recognition is also a security technology. For example, when you use JD Shopping, it can confirm whether to place an order for himself or herself.

The 2nd generation is still the first intelligent speaker in China that can make calls. It can directly add contacts on the App, and can directly synchronize phone contacts. Voice commands can be used to make calls, such as "Hey, call 'Little White'", it's really a matter of forcing, and the 2nd generation gives the user a free 180-minute call. time. However, only the support of the call is currently supported, and the answer to the call is not supported.

In addition to the voice command interaction, the 2nd generation also incorporates the screen gesture function (with corresponding instructions on the factory protective film), which can be achieved by clicking or sliding a different area, such as previous/next, volume up/down, etc. Features. According to the actual operating experience of the guests, the gestures basically conform to our living habits and are relatively easy to use.

Speakers as a smart home control entrance, support equipment access is the most basic function. Currently, the 2nd generation has access to smart home systems such as JD.com, Midea, Zhimi, etc., and has successfully docked with nearly 1,000 big-name home appliances, which can satisfy the control of thousands of smart devices such as televisions, air conditioners, purifiers, and refrigerators. All of these can be completed by the second generation of smart speakers to complete voice control.

In addition, various third-party applications such as news, entertainment, and life are also connected to the second generation of application platforms. For example, in the news reading aspect, today's headlines were accessed, access was obtained, etc., and life services were connected to applications such as E-bag washing, Jingdong shopping, China Express, and family life.

At the top of the 2nd generation, eight microphones were integrated to direct the radio, and the 360-degree circular layout, supplemented by the voice recognition technology of HKUST, made it easy to wake up the voice within 5 meters.

In terms of sound effects, the 2nd generation is equipped with a 2.25-inch full-range speaker and 360-degree uniform sound transmission. But limited by the volume, the sound layering is not very rich, but fortunately there is no broken sound in the high sound, the overall sound quality can accept, if the sound quality of students with high requirements can also be an external speaker.

to sum up

At present, the intelligence of most smart speakers is still in its infancy. Whether it is Google Home, Apple HomePod, or Xiaomi's little love students can only complete some fixed interactive functions, and it is far from reaching true artificial intelligence.

As one of the earliest manufacturers to enter smart speakers in China, the company's domestic market share has climbed to 70% with the support of resources such as JD.com and HKUST. In addition, Jingdong United Tencent, Baidu and other Internet giants form a smart speaker alliance to jointly develop smart speaker industry standards, which laid a solid foundation for future development.
