The LED indicator displays the Bluetooth connection status, charging status, or low battery reminder. When the tail Bluetooth microphone module 4 is inserted into the tail interface slot 11, a secure connection is achieved through a magnetic or snap-fit ​​structure, and automatic charging is achieved through contact charging contacts.

[0026] Furthermore, the voice interaction module integrates a voice recognition chip, a voice control module, and an audio processing unit, supporting voice wake-up, voice control, and voice playback functions. Through the voice interaction module, users can perform the following operations via voice: play preset content, such as nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and idioms;

[0027] The system receives basic voice information such as weather and time; it also enables voice command control, such as "play music" and "turn down the volume." The voice interaction module shares the audio output circuit with the speaker unit 2, enabling priority voice playback. While music is playing, the voice interaction module can interrupt playback to prioritize the voice content, ensuring the priority and clarity of information delivery. After the voice playback is complete, the system automatically resumes music playback. The voice interaction module also supports WiFi connectivity. After connecting via a mobile app, users can update voice content resources, including downloading new stories, accessing a children's Q&A database, or receiving online content updates.

[0028] Furthermore, the power module features a built-in rechargeable lithium battery pack with overcharge and over-discharge protection circuits to ensure stable battery operation.
