Introduction to educational toy set voice IC
In fact, language IC can be used not only in the development of educational toys, but also in interactive toys, educational toys, handheld game consoles, electronic dictionaries, e-books, and various related products that require voice and music. Specifically, Group Chuang Microelectronics will introduce to you:Voice IC introductionVoice IC, as the name suggests, is an IC that can store and control the playback of decoded voice. We basically use Songhan’s voice IC. Songhan has many types: according to the number of channels, there are voice ICs with 1, 2, 4, 12, and 24 channels, and some special functions: such as touch, LCD , high-compression DSP IC, and there are 4Bit, 8Bit, 16Bit and other ICs according to the number of digits, which are widely used in interactive toys, educational toys, handheld game consoles, electronic dictionaries, e-books and various voice, Music products.voice introductionClassification of sounds: Generally speaking, sounds are divided into three categories: Voice, Tone, and Midi.Voice generally refers to voice, speaking sounds, etc., and is generally put into the IC in Wav format. Tone and Midi can be converted into Wav through a computer and then put into the voice IC as voice form, but it will take up a lot of space!Tone is produced by adjusting the output frequency Do Re Me..., we use it less now.Midi uses some timbres to synthesize colorful musical chords. For example, if we want to generate a piano Do Re Me... we will use a standard piano sound Do tone, and then change its playback speed and use a certain method to generate Do Re Me with 8 degrees higher and 8 degrees lower... More Note.Voice Introduction: MidiThe timbre is a wav file, and generally the sampling frequency will be relatively high to achieve good results. Usually, the sampling frequency is 16k~22k, so it will occupy a certain amount of space, and the capacity occupied depends on the amount of timbre. But a MIDI only requires a few timbres. "DualTone.wav" is the effect of Tone, "midi.wav" is the Midi file that has been converted into WAV format and can be played directly with Voice IC. Its multi-channel Midi format file is "Music.mid".Therefore, the IC capacity occupied by Midi cannot be calculated by the length but by the amount of timbre.When the customer mentions the sound as music, it is necessary to ask whether it is Midi. If so, the calculation method would be different.Group Innovation launches voice chip series1. SNC27/27P series, SNC32/32P series, SNC36 four-channel, SNC86 series 8-channel, SNC7648,7232 DSP series.2. Some of Alpha's cost-effective chips (that is to say, if the price of Sonix cannot be accepted by the market, you can consider the corresponding Aohua chip), especially Alpha's AM9AC, AM4EG, AM32A/B series, etc.3. Some of the company's specific platform solutions include: voice recognition, voice control, 2.4G remote control sound toys, local speech recognition, etc. (to be sold as standard PCBA modules in 2019).Shenzhen Zuchuang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is a professional electronic and electrical solution development, design and chip agency company.

In 2023, the "golden age" of lightweight intelligent educational hardware?
In recent years, the light intelligent education hardware market is developing rapidly, and low-priced, portable, and rigidly-needed products are forming their "one-acre three-point land". In the early days, more products that received much attention were relatively heavy and expensive products such as learning machines, smart desk lamps, and study desks and chairs.However, with the intensification of market competition, new learning scenarios are constantly being explored, and light intelligent educational hardware products cater to the diverse needs of students and parents for learning methods, and a situation of "multi-point blossoming" has emerged. For example:01 word cardElectronic word cards focusing on word scenes provide students with a more efficient and convenient way to memorize words;02 E-Learning CardThe e-learning cards that memorize the knowledge points of all subjects can help students learn comprehensively and effectively in various subject areas;03 Hearing treasureTinglibao, which aims to solve users’ English listening and speaking needs, provides a variety of listening materials and real-time feedback to improve students’ listening skills. It can also be said to be the AI version of the traditional repeater;04 Pocket learning machineCovering all grades and courses from elementary school to high school, the pocket learning machine features a portable design, can be placed in a pocket, and can enter the learning mode anytime, anywhere;05 Pinyin machineA phonics machine that helps kids quickly master the pronunciation and spelling of phonics, with advanced learning content for different ages, games and an interactive story mode;06 GuoxuejiThe Chinese learning machine has built-in rich resources such as Chinese classics, Tang poetry and Song Ci, story encyclopedias, Chinese children's songs, Chinese and Western music, English learning, etc., allowing children to easily enjoy the charm of traditional culture without the need for the Internet or downloading;#Market Quotes Light Education Smart Hardware01 Relevant data - 2022The "2022 China Educational Smart Hardware Market and User Insights Report" previously released by iResearch shows that the growth trend of the lightweight smart educational hardware market is very obvious. In 2022, China's smart education hardware consumption market will reach 43.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of over 20%. It is expected that the growth rate will maintain double digits in the next four years.02 Relevant data - 2023The 2023 "Report on the Development of Smart Hardware for Personal Consumption Education" shows that the market size of smart hardware for personal consumption education in my country is expected to reach 50 billion yuan this year, and the CAGR (compound annual growth rate) from 2019 to 2026 will reach 15.14%. . Among them, the sales of educational hardware products such as student tablets, point reading pens, scanning pens, and smart watches are showing explosive growth.There are many factors affecting the popularity of lightweight intelligent educational hardware. First of all, low price and portability make lightweight hardware products more accessible and suitable for home education. For most families, the cost of purchasing high-priced learning machines and other heavy hardware products is relatively high, while light smart hardware is more attractive in terms of price. Secondly, new learning scenarios have been discovered to meet the personalized learning needs of users, which has also prompted users to gradually increase their interest in and willingness to purchase these lightweight smart hardware products.According to the survey data of iResearch Consulting, the total annual expenditure of parents on children's education is basically between 10,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan, of which smart education hardware accounts for 10%-30%. Regarding the future expenditure structure, 56.3% of parents plan to spend 10%-30% of the total education budget on hardware, and 15.7% plan to spend more than 40%. Parents are so fond of smart education hardware, mainly because after the double reduction, the expenditure on subject training has been greatly reduced, and this part of the budget has been transferred to the purchase of smart education hardware.In the long run, the light intelligent educational hardware market has broad prospects for development, but under the situation of fierce homogenization competition, the market is getting more and more voluptuous. How to make use of current resources to lay out the future market, how to develop products with differentiated or personalized functions, and how to promote them according to users with different acceptance of technology products (some users have relatively low acceptance of technology products, so manufacturers need to Product promotion in a more popular way), expanding the application scenarios and audience groups of smart education hardware is a key issue that every smart education hardware company needs to put on the agenda.

As a typical purchase and use separation group, the results of parents' purchase directly affect their children's use effect. The difference between them will be introduced from different aspects below.1. Product functionThe main function of the story machine is to provide children's stories, music and other entertainment content. The story machine is equipped with voice playback function and various sound effects, which can bring children a vivid and interesting listening experience. It is a very suitable product for children to listen to stories and learn to sing.Early education machine is a product designed to help young children with early intellectual development. Early education machines usually have early education content covering language, vision, hearing, thinking, memory, etc. It includes a series of interactive games, animations, music, stories, pictures and other resources, through visual and auditory stimulation, to cultivate the development of children's perception, cognition and hands-on ability.The learning machine is a relatively comprehensive electronic learning tool, which mainly provides learning resources for Chinese, mathematics, English and other courses, and is suitable for elementary school students or junior high school students. In addition to being equipped with a voice playback function, the learning machine also provides a large number of knowledge points, allowing students to learn and consolidate subject knowledge. At the same time, the learning machine also has a number of practical learning assistance functions, such as general AI homework assistants, pinyin pens, dictionaries, calculators, parental control, etc., which are convenient for students to search for words, calculate and check homework.The positioning of the learning machine is more focused on learning and examinations. It can provide scientific, comprehensive and systematic subject knowledge for primary and junior high school students, and provide some learning aids to help students master knowledge.3. User groupsThe applicable ages and user groups of story machines, early education machines and learning machines are also different.The story machine is suitable for infants and young children, usually for children aged 0 to 6. It mainly plays audio. You can listen to stories and sing songs in your leisure time to help infants and young children enlighten their voices and calm their emotions.The applicable object of the early education machine is children aged 0-12, and it is developed for the early education of children's language, vision, hearing, thinking, memory and other aspects. The design of the early education machine focuses on the stage characteristics and interest characteristics of children's cognitive development, so that children can recognize and learn in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.The applicable objects of the learning machine are mainly primary school students and junior high school students, helping students to learn and consolidate subject knowledge. In terms of curriculum design, learning machines are usually classified according to the knowledge points of primary school or junior high school, covering multiple subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, English, etc., to help students carry out scientific learning planning and targeted learning.4. Product priceThe price of the story machine is relatively cheap, generally ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan.The price of early childhood education machines and learning machines is relatively high, usually between several hundred yuan and several thousand yuan, but they have richer functions and more scientific curriculum design.Of course, with the rapid development of the early education industry and the continuous upgrading and iteration of products, the difference between the story machine and the early education machine is getting smaller and smaller.

The student smart pen market has a bright future
Application field of intelligent learning penMany learning scenarios can actually be changed with the help of educational intelligent hardware. With the most complete layout in language learning education, the smart scanning dictionary pen aims at "scanning", "translation" and "reading", and has become a good helper for language learning. The point reading pen is the main component of the educational smart pen. The iteration of digital content drives the iteration of intelligent products, and the growth is relatively stable; the rapid development of the scanning pen in the past three years, and the richer application scenarios give the scanning pen a higher industry ceiling. In the future, The market size is expected to exceed that of point reading pens.Educational smart pens are a type of pen-shaped hardware terminal products specially developed for learners, mainly including reading pens, scanning pens and writing pens. The three types of smart pens have different applicable groups, usage scenarios and business models.1) The reading pen is mainly suitable for preschool children and primary school students who have a small amount of Chinese and English vocabulary and are still in the stage of developing their sense of language. When the user clicks on a specific position in the matching paper books, the reading pen will make a sound simultaneously.2) The scanning pen is mainly suitable for users in the middle and high grades of elementary school and above. Because it is mostly used for English learning, the scanning pen is also positioned as a dictionary (translation) pen. From this perspective, the majority of English learners can become the best choice for the scanning pen. For people.3) The writing pen is a special signature pen, which mainly relies on dot matrix technology to realize note tracking and paper screen synchronization. It is mostly used in smart classroom scenes in public schools. Consumer-grade dot matrix pens are mostly used for note organization, business occasions and learning. Scenes can be covered.Products such as video image recognition, intelligent voice, and intelligent translation are hot areas in the future. Promote the application of high-precision intelligent translation systems, and use machine learning technology to improve accuracy and practicality around typical scenarios such as multilingual translation and simultaneous interpretation. By 2020, significant breakthroughs will be made in multilingual intelligent mutual translation. The translation accuracy rate of products in Chinese-to-English and English-to-Chinese scenarios will exceed 85%, and the accuracy rate of intelligent mutual translation between minority languages and Chinese will be significantly improved."Educational Intelligent Hardware" Industry AnalysisAfter the promulgation of the "double reduction" policy, the entire extracurricular education and training industry has ushered in unprecedented shocks. What to do next is a must-answer question for many online education companies. In fact, the direction of policy guidance is very clear-the release of the "double reduction" policy and the introduction of the "new education infrastructure" policy mean that the education digital reform that reduces burdens and increases efficiency is in full swing. The popularity of the educational smart hardware track has also risen sharply.Yuanfudao, Zuoyuebang, etc. have launched hardware products one after another. Huawei announced that it will enter the smart classroom industry, and Lenovo will develop a smart education interactive large screen. After ByteDance launched smart desk lamps, Tencent and Ali followed suit. Various signs show that in the new round of educational reform, educational intelligent hardware is becoming a new outlet.In this context, the value of the technological and tool attributes of educational intelligent hardware has been highlighted, becoming the focus of enterprises in the post-double reduction era, and it is also a sharp tool to empower home and school learning, and education will return to home and school education An important complement and connection hub. According to the forecast of relevant research institutions, the market size of educational intelligent hardware is expected to be close to 100 billion yuan in 2024. With the advancement of technology and the accelerated layout of major companies, more new categories are expected to be born.In 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Intelligent Hardware Industry Innovation and Development Special Action (2016-2018)", proposing to deeply explore the application needs of intelligent hardware in education and other fields, strengthen the improvement of intelligence in education and other fields, and lay a policy for the development of educational intelligent hardware keynote. In 2018, the Ministry of Education released the "Education Informatization 2.0 Action Plan", proposing to build a "personalized" education system and a "ubiquitous" learning environment, promote the ecological reconstruction of education supported by new technologies, and provide intelligent hardware for education. The direction of development is clear. The prerequisite for personalized teaching is to obtain enough user data. On this basis, through software and algorithms, an in-depth analysis of the user's learning situation and a personalized design of the learning path can be realized. As an important data collection terminal, educational intelligent hardware has become an indispensable part of the educational data collection process. At the same time, wearable and portable educational intelligent hardware also has the ability to travel through scenes, thereby realizing the all-round collection of user data. A variety of educational hardware exerts a linkage effect, covering more learning scenarios, and creating an integrated educational ecology by building a ubiquitous learning environment.With the gradual clarification of national policy requirements for individualized and ubiquitous education, the requirements for the synergy of educational software and hardware and the construction of educational ecology have also been further improved. From the perspective of the underlying technical environment, with the rapid development of technologies such as 5G and Wi-Fi 6, the bandwidth and speed of data transmission will be further greatly improved, thereby ensuring the smoothness of upper-level applications such as education; from the perspective of industrial chain support, my country has become As the largest producer of electronic components, it can basically meet the market demand for various educational hardware; from the perspective of human-computer interaction experience, the edge computing scenarios promoted by 5G will be more abundant, and the response of human-computer interaction will be faster, which can provide better education for education. experience.

How to choose the necessary point reading pen for early education? The key is to look at these 7 poi
"Where can't click where, so easy!" It has been 14 years since the first appearance of this brainwashing advertisement, you may not think that the market for point-and-click pens has not disappeared with time, and it has become bigger! The more popular reading pens on the market are not only cute and cute in shape, small and light, but also powerful in function and rich in variety. So, how to choose an easy-to-use reading pen in today's multifarious reading pen market?1. Appearance texture and materialTo win the love of children, cute shapes are also essential, such as the images of chicken balls and caterpillars, so that babies can't put it down. High-quality reading pens usually adopt cute cartoon design and comfortable grip, paying attention to details and quality. At the same time, pay attention to choosing a reading pen made of safe materials, such as food-grade silicone material, to ensure that there are no harmful substances, not afraid of babies biting by mistake, and meeting child safety standards.2. Appropriate age groupChoose the appropriate reader based on your child's age; some are designed for toddlers, while others are suitable for preschool or school-age children. Make sure you choose a reading pen that matches your child's age for better learning.3. User evaluation and word of mouthRead reviews and testimonials from other parents to find out the pros and cons of different makes and models of readers. You can get more real user feedback by searching product reviews on the Internet or consulting experienced parents.4. Abundance of supporting resourcesThe supporting resources of the reading pen are the key to evaluating its comprehensive performance. The abundance of resources directly determines the service life of the reading pen. If there are too few resources, the baby will get tired of playing for a long time, and can only be thrown in the corner to idle. A high-quality reading pen should provide a variety of learning resources, such as picture books, stories, nursery rhymes, dictionaries, etc. Ensure that the learning content of the reading pen is of high quality, rich and interesting, and can meet the learning needs of children in different subjects and areas of interest.5. User friendlinessSome reading pens need to install software after buying them home, or need to download resources through the computer, make reading packages, etc. These complicated operations, let alone children, even extinguish half of the parents' interest in teaching. In addition, whether the operation interface of the point reading pen is simple and easy to use is related to whether children can use it easily. Choosing an easy-to-use reading pen can help children enjoy the learning process better and cultivate a positive learning attitude.6. Pronunciation and sound qualityThe pronunciation and sound quality of the reading pen are very important for children's learning effect. Having nice and interesting dubbing is an important factor to stimulate children's interest in reading. If it is just a machine-synthesized dubbing, although the pronunciation is standard, but there is no cadence, lack of intonation and emotion, it will sound boring. A good reading pen will display rich sound details through high-quality sound output, allowing children to immerse themselves in beautiful sounds and stimulate their curiosity and desire to learn.7. Functional richnessThe point reading pen is equipped with multimedia interactive functions or learning assistance functions, such as AI intelligent question and answer, remote control, graffiti board, camera function, voice correction, etc., which can increase children's creativity and interactivity, and help children learn and learn better. understand knowledge.Shenzhen Zuchuang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is an electronic and electrical solution development and design and chip agency company.

What are the characteristics of the Flash voice chip? Will it be better than the OTP voice chip?
FLASH voice chip and OTP voice chip are two common voice chips, but they have obvious differences in storage methods, usage scenarios, and application advantages.1. Storage methodFLASH voice chip: Its storage method is non-volatile memory, which means that its data will not be lost, can be stored for a long time, and can maintain data integrity even in the event of a power failure.OTP voice chip: Its storage method is a one-time programmable memory. Once the data is programmed, it cannot be modified, that is to say, its storage content is immutable.2. Supporting toolsFLASH voice chip: FLASH chips usually require a special programmer or supporting software for programming and erasing operations. These programmers and software usually require additional costs and specialized skills.OTP voice chip: Since the OTP chip can only be programmed once, no special programmer or software is required.3. Repeat programming/replacing the soundFLASH voice chip: the audio data stored in the chip can be replaced at any time through a programmer or other methods, and supports multiple programming and erasing. The sound stored in the chip can be easily replaced by changing the program code or replacing the chip itself.OTP voice chip: Since the OTP chip is one-time programming, it cannot be programmed repeatedly, and the audio data stored in the chip cannot be changed. If the sound needs to be replaced, the entire chip needs to be replaced.4. CostFLASH voice chip: Since the FLASH chip can be programmed and erased repeatedly, it requires professional production equipment and technology, so the cost is relatively high, but as the production scale increases, the cost will decrease accordingly.OTP voice chip: Since the OTP chip can only be programmed once, it is relatively simpler and cheaper. Compared with the FLASH voice chip, the mass production scale will be larger.5. Application ScenariosFLASH voice chip: It is more suitable for products that need to change voice content frequently. If you need higher flexibility and capacity, you can choose FLASH voice chip.OTP voice chip: It is mostly used in low-end products, such as small toys, alarms, electronic locks, electronic pianos, etc. This kind of voice chip that can only be programmed once is relatively low in cost and high in cost performance. Or if you need high confidentiality and security, or a smaller storage unit, then you can choose an OTP voice chip.On the whole, FLASH voice chips and OTP voice chips have their own advantages and application scenarios. FLASH chips are suitable for applications that require large-capacity storage and reprogrammable applications, while OTP chips are suitable for applications that require high confidentiality, low cost, and miniaturization. . Choosing an appropriate chip according to specific needs and application scenarios can better meet design requirements and reduce costs.

"Brother Qiang" is also learning English! These artifacts help your vocabulary "hurri
Although "Hurry" has been ending for a long time, the public opinion it triggered continues to ferment. Strange friends can still be heard discussing in the elevator after work. Brother Qiang has gone from a humble fish vendor to a gangster who everyone calls Brother. Gao Qiqiang's life has been full of ups and downs. Why can Gao Qiqiang, a fish seller, sit in such a high position? He has always known that knowledge changes destiny, so he worked hard to make money to support his younger brothers and sisters in college. Since An Xin recommended "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to him, he has read it repeatedly.Even though Gao Qiqiang later took an important position in the Construction Engineering Group and became a "gangster", he still did not give up studying. He also asked his subordinates to go to business schools for further studies, and he even hired foreign teachers to conduct one-on-one English learning at home."Some people say that the best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, followed by now." As long as you decide to learn English, it's never too late to start. When it comes to language learning, we have to mention smart reading pens or dictionary pens. They can read characters, or look up words, translate, scan and read, etc., which can help us learn languages more conveniently (in his capacity, it can be measured Customize a "Qiangge's special dictionary pen" picture picture picture), and even have a recording function. (I also think of the recording pen that appears in the play, which is an introduction in the play. It can be said to be "a murder caused by a recording pen")Long story short, back to the topic, reading pens and dictionary pens (including scanning pens, scanning pens, translation pens, etc.) are relatively common intelligent learning tools on the market today. Although what they have in common is that they can help users acquire knowledge and learn languages more conveniently and quickly, they have many differences in appearance design, technical principles, scope of application, and user experience. Here, we will analyze them from multiple aspects.01 Appearance designA reading pen is usually a handheld device that looks like a pen or microphone and usually has a button or touch area. Most reading pens come with some LED lights to show their status, such as on/off status, battery level, and what is being read. The design of the reading pen is usually cute and colorful, so it is easier to attract children's attention.The shape design of the dictionary pen is more similar to a small electronic device, some models are relatively flat, and some have a traditional rectangular shape. It usually has a small camera and an LED light on it. The handle of the dictionary pen is usually wider, which is easier for children to hold and is more in line with children's usage habits. In addition, the handle of the dictionary pen is usually equipped with some buttons, which are used to control the volume, turn pages up and down, and other functions.02 Technical principlesThe reading pen mainly uses OID invisible code technology, which triggers the playback of sounds or recordings by sensing the reading code (dense small black dots) or QR code on the reading material. It triggers a sound or recording associated with that location by tapping a specific location on the surface of the reader, so the location to be clicked needs to be marked on the reader in advance. During the scanning process of the reading pen, it will transmit the optical information at the touch position to the chip, and then read the corresponding content out loud through the built-in speech synthesis technology.The dictionary pen uses optical character recognition technology (OCR technology) and an embedded translation system. When the user points the dictionary pen at a word on the text, the built-in optical recognition technology of the dictionary pen automatically recognizes and captures the image of the desired word. Then, it will convert this image into text information through built-in OCR (optical character recognition) technology, replace the traditional electronic dictionary key input with extremely fast scanning and word search, and use the built-in dictionary database to query to find the word Definition, pronunciation, example sentences and other related information. Finally, the dictionary pen will display the query results on the screen for users to refer to and learn from.The reading pen usually uses the voice recorded by a real person as the pronunciation. The advantage of this method is that the voice is more natural, accurate and fluent, which helps to improve the child's reading comprehension and language expression ability. There are also some reading pens that use electronic speech synthesis engines to synthesize speech. This method has the advantages of low cost, high flexibility, rich and interesting sound effects, and can also meet the needs of children to learn reading and pronunciation. With the continuous advancement of technology and changing market demands, more and more reading pens will use real-person recorded voices as pronunciation.Although the dictionary pen focuses on the word search function, its pronunciation method is usually realized through the built-in pure human voice, and there are also methods of "combination of computer synthesized pronunciation and real person pronunciation". When the user uses the dictionary pen to look up a word, the dictionary pen will play the real person's voice pronunciation through the built-in voice library or network resources to ensure that the voice output is "correct" and help the user accurately understand the pronunciation and intonation of the word. Not only can the speaking speed be adjusted to allow children who are just starting to read to keep up with the rhythm, but the pronunciation can also be switched between American or British. No matter which category the teacher or foreign teacher is speaking, they can easily follow along and learn.04 Scope of applicationClick and read where the pen clicks, but not all books can be clicked. It is suitable for some reading materials with fixed structure and layout, such as picture books, enlightenment readers, study notes, etc. These reading materials are usually printed or electronically fixed in content and format, so that the reading pen can accurately identify the content that needs to be read.The OCR technology of the dictionary pen can accurately identify fonts and typesetting methods in any different positions in the reading, including text, pictures and charts. Therefore, it is suitable for various types of reading materials, such as magazines, newspapers, novels, etc. Everything can be scanned without being limited by books. In addition, the dictionary pen can also transmit the recognized text to the computer or mobile device through the USB interface or wireless connection, so as to realize cross-screen learning, with larger fonts and more complete display content. It is mainly used for searching and explaining words, and can quickly obtain information such as the definition, spelling, and pronunciation of words, which is very useful for English learners. In addition, some dictionary pens can also provide synonyms, antonyms, usage and other related information. Therefore, dictionary pens are suitable for reading texts, learning languages and translating.05 ExperienceThe use of the reading pen is more intuitive and interactive, because it can trigger the corresponding sound or recording by touching the reading, which is closer to the traditional reading method. When children use the reading pen, they can hear the sound with just a tap, making it easier to understand and remember the learning content. In addition, reading pens usually come with some games and interactive functions, such as voice conversations, puzzles, etc., which can improve children's interest and enthusiasm for learning.The dictionary pen has a wider recognition range and can recognize different words and images. Children only need to sweep the pen over the content they need to read to translate between Chinese and English, and it can also help you pronounce it aloud. Although it does not require the book to be coded, you can read whatever you recognize. When using the dictionary pen, you need to align the tip of the pen with the reading material.In general, reading pens and dictionary pens are relatively good intelligent learning tools, and they both have certain advantages, disadvantages and scope of application. Which tool to choose mainly depends on the user's needs and usage habits. The reading pen is suitable for fields such as learning and language learning, mainly for infants and young children. It is simple and easy to use, making learning more interesting and interactive; the dictionary pen is suitable for English learning, reading and management, and other fields, mainly for children, primary and secondary school students. , even universities and adults can quickly find and understand the meaning and usage of words and phrases, improving their English proficiency and learning efficiency. Paper books can also be converted into electronic versions, identified and managed to improve reading and management efficiency.

Under the "double reduction" policy, children's educational products may benefit!
In recent years, the Chinese government has introduced a series of "double reduction" policies in the education field. The "double reduction" policy is to make two major reductions. One is to reduce the homework burden on students, and the other is to reduce the number of off-campus training institutions in subject areas. It aims to reduce the burden on students and families in the field of education and create a more relaxed and free growth environment for children.Since the implementation of the "double reduction" policy for one and a half years, it has also had a certain impact on the children's educational market. The editor will analyze the impact of the double reduction policy on children from various aspects such as market size, product innovation, brand competition, and policy incentives. Impact on the puzzle market.01 PART - Expansion of market size -With the implementation of the double reduction policy, parents will reduce their investment in children's education, and they will pay more attention to their children's interest cultivation and physical and mental health, and children's educational products just meet this demand. Due to policy restrictions on students' extracurricular tutoring, parents may pay more attention to their children's hobbies and extracurricular activities, which will also provide a broader basis for the market demand for children's educational products.1. According to the background data of Yiwugou, the sales volume of toy products from January to May in 2022 increased by 142.1% compared with that in 2021. Among all toy categories, the sales growth of educational toys is very obvious. Educational toys gradually became popular in the market and attracted more contestants to enter the competition.2. In the Tianyancha applet, a search using the keyword "educational toys" shows that there are more than 13,810 related companies, more than half of which were established within the past five years, and 919 related companies were established within the past year.Therefore, the double reduction policy will help expand the scale of the children's education market, and make more parents and children aware of the value of children's education products.02 PART - Product innovation is imminent -With the introduction of the double reduction policy, changes in the market demand for children's educational products will also give rise to new product innovations. Judging from the current market situation, most educational products for children are characterized by "learning first, supplemented by entertainment", while the double-reduction policy requires products to better meet children's learning and entertainment needs. Therefore, the product structure will face major adjustments, and designing new children's educational products in a way that combines fun and knowledge will become a new direction for market development. At the same time, with the advancement of the policy, more and more companies have begun to set their sights on the children's educational market and launch more professional and personalized products. In terms of product design, the company pays attention to the function, safety and technological content of the product, and also pays more attention to product innovation and user experience, so as to better meet the market demand.For example, emerging products such as smart toys and programmable robots will occupy a larger proportion of the future market. In this process, companies need to pay more attention to technology research and development and product design to maintain their advantages in market competition.03 PART - Brand competition intensifies -With the continuous expansion of the market scale and the gradual standardization and standardization of the education industry, parents are more willing to purchase educational toys and educational products with educational significance and scientific nature. The double reduction policy has promoted school reform and improved education quality, and parents have also increased their emphasis on education. These changes have had a positive impact on the sales of educational products for children.In the past, the market was mainly dominated by toy products such as puzzles and building blocks. With the advancement of the double reduction policy and the increase in parents’ emphasis on children’s enlightenment education, the children’s educational market will gradually shift towards education, technology, and interactive products. Product direction transformation, such as smart reading pens, story machines, VR glasses, etc. This will further promote market competition and push more brands and companies to continue to innovate and improve product quality.04 PART - The market environment is more stable-The implementation of policies can alleviate some problems existing in the children's educational market, such as industry chaos and price wars. In the past, in order to gain an advantage in the market, some companies often competed for market share through price wars. However, this approach often leads to reduced product quality, reduced corporate profits, and even vicious competition.With the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, companies will pay more attention to product quality and technical content, thereby avoiding excessive price competition, improving the overall level of the market, and making the industry more standardized. At the same time, policies can also increase consumer confidence and enthusiasm for purchasing children's educational products, making the market more stable and healthy.05 PART -Bring more opportunities to the market-The implementation of the policy will encourage enterprises to strengthen cooperation with domestic and foreign industry-leading enterprises, share technologies and resources, and enhance their competitiveness. At the same time, the policy will also encourage companies to strengthen cooperation with educational institutions, parent associations and other organizations to promote children's educational products to be more in line with children's learning patterns, explore new market demands and develop new products to better satisfy consumers and children. demand. At the same time, the policy will also encourage companies to strengthen brand building and marketing, improve product visibility and reputation, thereby expanding market share and improving profitability.06 PART - Bring more challenges to the market-Challenges and opportunities coexist. With the implementation of the policy, market competition will become more intense, and product quality, service quality and brand image will become the keys to a company's success. At the same time, the implementation of policies will also promote market reshuffle and integration, and many small and medium-sized enterprises may face the risk of elimination and mergers and acquisitions.07 PART -Promote enterprises to strengthen their awareness of environmental protection and social responsibility-The implementation of the policy will also promote enterprises to strengthen their awareness of environmental protection and social responsibility, and promote children's educational products to be more environmentally friendly, healthy and safe. In the past, some children's educational products had environmental and safety hazards, which aroused widespread social concern. However, the implementation of the double reduction policy will force companies to adopt safer materials and processes, strictly control product safety, and promote healthy competition and development in the market. At the same time, the government's supervision of children's products will also be further strengthened, and penalties for companies that violate safety standards will be strengthened, thereby increasing companies' product safety awareness.In short, the double reduction policy will bring extensive impacts and changes to the children's educational market, and the beneficial effects are obvious. The advancement of policies has made the market prospects of children's educational products more optimistic. It has also accelerated product innovation and upgrading, improved market competitiveness, and provided a more stable and healthy environment for the market, which is conducive to the long-term development of the market. . Therefore, the policy’s impact on the children’s educational market is positive and beneficial.

Douyin also wants to build AI chips? Domestic AI chip company rankings
"Cross-border chip manufacturing" has become the norm in the current industry. Although it is extremely difficult to make chips, as long as there is enough strength, everything is possible. On May 25, according to Taiwan Business Times, Douyin, a subsidiary of ByteDance, is working with Taiwan Aegis to develop AI computing chips, mainly for hardware optimization of audio and video processing.1. Douyin wants to build AI chips? outright denial by the partiesAccording to Taiwan media reports, the AI chip developed by Douyin and Aegis adopts TSMC’s 7nm process and is specially optimized for audio and video processing. It can improve performance and reduce power consumption, allowing ordinary smartphones to stably play 4K ultra-high-definition videos. , or record 60FPS video.The news also said that this chip is expected to be mass-produced in early 2021 and is expected to be installed on OPPO smartphones for the first time. In addition to OPPO, many major smartphone manufacturers are also interested in introducing this AI chip.The report in the original article is also very convincing, making readers really think that Douyin’s development of AI chips is true. In response to this news, Douyin also responded simply and neatly: "The information is false and there is no AI mobile phone chip developed."2. There are already signs of AI chip plan?Although there is no confirmation of Douyin's core production, Douyin's parent company ByteDance has already had signs of its AI chip layout. In 2018, Yang Zhen, vice president of ByteDance, once said, "ByteDance has the world's largest number of user-uploaded videos that need to be analyzed and processed, and has a large number of chip purchases and applications. At present, it is also actively seeking breakthroughs in chip-related fields."It is reported that ByteDance made such a statement mainly due to the "ZTE embargo" incident at that time. The substantial impact of the U.S. Department of Commerce's embargo policy on ZTE has sounded the alarm that domestic core technologies are independently controllable.As the world's largest and most highly valued unicorn company, although Bytedance's AI chip has not been seen for a long time, the strength of AI technology behind its own business is beyond doubt.As we all know, Toutiao and Douyin are two representative works of ByteDance, and the most familiar one is the "algorithm + artificial content recommendation mechanism". The operation of these two products is closely related to AI technology, including content analysis, user tags, evaluation analysis, content security and other principles.For ByteDance, which relied on AI algorithms to dominate information flow and short video content in the past, AI algorithms do represent advanced productivity, but pure algorithms are not omnipotent, and now they are in the huge information flow and short video content. In the market, ByteDance faces considerable competitive pressure.However, in terms of AI chip layout, Internet giants such as BAT have already started this golden track by acquiring start-ups and establishing subsidiaries for independent research and development. How to further implement AI technology, realize commercial applications, and keep up with BAT may be a major direction for ByteDance to seek breakthroughs.3. There are tens of thousands of roads, and the nuclear "core" is the firstWhether the core of AI chips lies in "AI" or "chips" has always been a controversial topic. If I have to choose one as the core, I think the focus is still on the "chip".As early as July 8, 2017, the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" issued and implemented at the national level proposed that the R&D and deployment of key common technologies of the new generation of artificial intelligence should focus on the urgent need to enhance my country's international competitiveness in artificial intelligence. Based on data and hardware, focus on breakthroughs in high-efficiency, reconfigurable brain-inspired computing chips and brain-inspired visual sensor technologies with computational imaging functions, and develop high-efficiency brain-inspired neural network architectures and hardware systems with autonomous learning capabilities to achieve A brain-like intelligent system for multimedia perception information understanding, intelligence growth, and common sense reasoning capabilities.Today's AI is actually a software program that requires massive amounts of data to perform massive calculations, and the chip becomes the carrier for such huge calculations. When faced with different scene requirements, various types of hardware are needed for support, such as sound chips for speech recognition, visual chips for image recognition, optical chips for fingerprint recognition, and so on.In most current AI scenarios, people usually use existing general-purpose chips suitable for parallel computing such as GPUs and FPGAs to implement AI algorithms. With the increase in data volume and the continuous expansion of AI application scale, the limitations of general-purpose chips It is becoming more and more obvious, so special chips for deep learning algorithms and new brain-inspired computing chips have been derived.4. Who are the top AI chip players in China?Although there is still a relatively large gap between domestic and foreign companies such as AMD, Nvidia, Intel, and IBM in the development of the AI chip industry, there are also some companies that have made achievements in the professional field. Specifically, they are:HiSilicon SemiconductorOn the road of smart security, Texas Instruments, the former leader in security chips, adopted the ARM+DSP architecture, and then the emerging Hisilicon Semiconductor adopted the ARM+IVE architecture. The full name of IVE is Intelligent Video Engine (Intelligent Video Engine). Co-processor, HiSilicon has become the leader in the domestic smart security market with its high cost performance;Cloudwalk TechnologyIncubated from the Chongqing Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it participated in the formulation of artificial intelligence national standards and industry standards, and became the first artificial intelligence technology enterprise to simultaneously undertake the construction tasks of national major projects such as the National Development and Reform Commission's artificial intelligence basic platform and application platform, and the chip platform of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The first "3D structured light face recognition technology" in China; the first commercial cross-mirror tracking (Re-ID) technology, allowing computer vision to enter the era of "recognition of people" from "scanning faces"; human body 3D reconstruction technology speeds up the algorithm by 20 times, And the accuracy rate has been greatly improved by 30%.HorizonThe company focuses on the field of autonomous driving chips, and its partners include Audi, Bosch, Changan, BYD, SAIC, GAC, etc. Based on the innovative AI-specific computing architecture BPU (Brain Processing Unit), Horizon has successfully taped out and mass-produced China's first edge AI processing?--the "Journey" series processing focused on intelligent driving? and focusing on AIoT’s “Sunrise” series of processors has been commercialized on a large scale.Cambrian PeriodA pioneer in the field of global smart chips, its mission is to create core processor chips for various smart cloud servers, smart terminals and smart robots. Its well-known chip products include the terminal intelligent processor IPCambricon series, intelligent accelerator Casiyuan 100/270 series, edge computing module Siyuan 220 series and so on.Think deeplyFocusing on the field of brain-inspired artificial intelligence and deep learning, the company deeply optimizes deep learning technology at the algorithm level and chip level, and provides unique deep learning chip solutions. The representative technology is "Multi-modal deep semantic understanding engine (iDeepwise.ai) technology", which can simultaneously understand the deep semantics behind multi-modal unstructured data such as text and visual images. Among them, machine reading comprehension technology for long texts, Free cross-domain multi-round human-computer dialogue technology and semantic understanding technology for multiple modal information are the most prominent technical advantages of Deep Thinking, and it is a leader in the industry in the field of artificial intelligence semantic understanding.Yuntian LifeiYuntian Lifei uses AI technology to structure the physical world and create digital twin cities. It owns Yuntian "Chuxin", an end- and edge-side neural network processor chip for visual applications, with independent intellectual property instruction sets, multi-core neural network processors, heterogeneous parallel computing architecture, and hardware intelligent operator engines.YunzhishengYunzhisheng focuses on IoT artificial intelligence services.

What is the difference between an early education machine and a story machine?
At present, there are many types of early education machines and story machines on the domestic market. Many parents are not clear about the functions and uses of these two types of products. As a parent of a child, before using an early education machine or a story machine, you need to clarify the two types of machines. A distinction between the two is also necessary.The early education machine has certain educational functions. It contains rich educational content, music, stories, words, etc., which can stimulate the child's hearing, vision, etc. and the development of multiple organs.The story machine is a machine specially developed for children that can play audio. With the continuous efforts and improvement of our development team, the story machine has evolved from a single player to a popular smart WIFI story machine, which can not only conduct intelligent human-computer dialogue, but also be connected to the Internet to identify picture books and textbooks and other rich functions.Judging from the actual use effect, the early education machine can be welcomed by many children, saving parents a lot of time, and the children can also learn a lot of things from the early education machine, such as stories, children's songs, Tang poems, etc. It is of great help to children's enlightenment education in terms of comprehensive quality.Early education machines teach children how to learn various common sense of life, such as eating, speaking, recognizing words, etc., while story machines tell children stories and understand the truth. There is a big difference. If you don’t understand these common sense, you will not be able to learn them. The truth is, so teach early and then listen to stories.Foreign children's education research has found that children who use early education products learn to speak and speak 2-3 weeks faster on average than children of the same age who do not use early education products, and their cerebral cortex activity is 1-2 times higher. It can be seen that the early education story machine is important to children in their growth process.The difference between early education machine and story machine:From the definition: Early childhood education machines are educational intelligent electronic products designed specifically for children to promote their learning. The story machine is developed for the characteristics of infants and young children. It is a product that can play stories and music.From the perspective of functions: the early education machine includes voice interaction, fun games, massive content, etc., and has intelligent learning functions. The story machine uses external sound, and in the early days it mainly played MP3 audio, which has the function of enlightenment and comfort.From the perspective of age range: Early education machines are suitable for children aged 0-12, covering a relatively wide range of age groups. The story machine is suitable for children aged 0-6, suitable for prenatal education and newborn infant stages.Judging from the effects: early education machines support human-computer interaction, fun games, educational learning and other functions, which are helpful for children's growth. The story machine is mainly based on audio playback, and mainly helps infants and young children develop vocal enlightenment and emotional soothing effects.Generally speaking, early childhood education machines are intelligent electronic products that are mainly focused on children's learning. Story machine is a content playback product focusing on the enlightenment of infants and young children. With the rapid development of the early childhood education industry and continuous product upgrades and iterations, the difference between the two is getting smaller and smaller. At present, many story machines on the market not only tell stories, but also develop towards intelligent multi-functional applications.The professional R&D team of early childhood education machines and story machines of Zuchuang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. has integrated the characteristics of traditional story machines and early education and has developed a new generation of smart WIFI story solutions to meet the needs of children of all ages. Welcome to inquire. !
