The AI module 8 is deployed on the outside of the water cup 1, and in this example, the AI module 8 is deployed on an existing cloud server. It also includes the water cup 1, a lid 2, a speaker 4, a microphone 5, a communication module 7, a main control unit 6, a power module, and a display screen 3. The lid 2 is detachably connected to the water cup 1, and in this example, it uses a threaded connection. The inside of the lid 2 is hollow. The speaker 4, microphone 5, communication module 7, power module, and main control unit 6 are housed inside the lid 2. A perforated hole is provided at the top of the lid 2, and a... A display screen 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cup lid 2. The cup lid 2 has a charging interface connected to the power module on its side or top. The power module is also electrically connected to the main control module to supply power to the electronic components inside the cup lid 2. The speaker 4 and microphone 5 are respectively connected to the main control unit 6. The microphone 5 is used to collect sound and convert it into voice information that can be transmitted using existing methods. The speaker 4 is used to play sound. The communication module 7 is also connected to the main control unit 6. The main control unit 6 is connected to the AI module 8 outside the cup 1 through the communication module 7 to realize the transmission of voice information.
[0024] A digital power amplifier circuit is provided between the speaker and the main control module to amplify the digital signal into an audio signal, which is then emitted by the speaker.
