Last year, a boss of Zhongshan Lighting Products Factory came to me and said that he saw our "Elizabeth" intelligent voice-controlled desk lamp and felt it was very novel and had a good experience. So he wanted to replace the infrared remote control in the LED floor lamp they had just designed with offline speech control.
I’ve checked the position of the main PCB board of their floor lamp, which was set in the middle of the lamp post, nearly 1 meter high from the ground. Because it only had touch control and remote control functions, the main control circuit board was small, and there was no place to put microphone and speaker. So it is impossible to realize the speech recognition control function without changing the basic structure of the mold.
The boss of lamp factory said that the floor lamp market heated up gradually, a lot of old customers want to order products from him, but they prefer to make some innovation on it and better to make some intelligent function. It just so happened that he saw our "Elizabeth" offline speech recognition control lamp and knew immediately that this was the best solution he was looking for. He shared his idea with the guest, who was also very excited and asked him to develop the new category immediately.
The customer is optimistic about the market prospect, the market has proven the speech recognition technology, reasonable cost, such projects are certainly to invest, and to jump ahead of others to invest. So the boss of the lamp factory decided on the spot to design and develop a new floor lamp main control part according to the planning I gave him.
The main control panel of the floor lamp is composed of a touch chip and a speech recognition control module QLIFE-ASR21M. The product has three kinds of light with different color temperature: white light, yellow light and natural light. It can be controlled by voice to turn on the light, turn off the light, switch the light mode, adjust the brightness, adjust the volume of the response word, set the time to delay off the light, etc. It can also be controlled by touch buttons. The function is very complete, and special add three groups of long time delay automatic light off function, so that the floor lamp is more practical. The use of speech recognition control eliminates the need for the original infrared remote control to save the cost for manufactures. The overall cost calculation shows that the intelligent upgrade of speech recognition control does not actually increase the cost much.
Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus and the delay in mold development, the speech recognition control floor lamp has only recently started trial production and sales, and according to the owner of the lighting manufacturer, the market response has been positive.
