Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smart loudspeakers in the related art have poor extensibility and limited scenarios due to their integrated body structure.
Innovation Solution
A loudspeaker system is divided into a loudspeaker peripheral and a loudspeaker base, allowing for multiple replaceable peripherals with personalized role figures, which can provide different types of personalized voice data when connected, enhancing extensibility and practicality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an integrated body structure is used for smart loudspeakers, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the extensibility is poor and scenarios are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The smart loudspeaker is divided into two independent parts: a loudspeaker base and a loudspeaker peripheral. The base contains the core functionality while the peripheral provides role-specific features. This segmentation allows the peripheral to be replaced or changed to adapt to different scenarios, thereby improving extensibility without significantly complicating the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The loudspeaker base is designed as a universal platform that can support multiple different peripherals through standardized connection interfaces. This multi-functionality approach allows a single base unit to serve various roles (e.g., smart home control, music playback, children's companion) by simply changing the peripheral attachment, thus enhancing adaptability while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If an integrated body structure is used for smart loudspeakers, then the device is compact and simple, but personalized voice data and role customization are limited
Solution Approach 1:
Different peripherals are designed with specific role figures and localized functionality tailored to different use cases. Each peripheral contains role-specific information and voice characteristics, allowing the system to provide personalized voice data for different roles (e.g., parent, child, teacher) without requiring the entire device to be complex. The base handles universal functions while peripherals provide specialized customization.
3Adaptability or versatility
If replaceable peripherals are introduced to improve extensibility, then adaptability increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A standardized connection interface is designed between the base and peripheral components, creating a universal platform that simplifies the interaction between different parts. This universal interface allows various peripherals to be attached and detached easily without requiring complex configuration or customization, thereby achieving high extensibility while maintaining relative simplicity in the connection mechanism.

AI summary
The present application provides a sound box system, the sound box system comprising: a sound box base and a sound box peripheral that are mutually independent. The sound box peripheral is provided in the form of a cartoon character, and the sound box base and the sound box peripheral are connected in a contact or non-contact manner. The sound box base and the sound box peripheral are configured to provide personalized voice data corresponding to the cartoon character when being in a connected state.
