The Design And Research Of Multimedia Speakers Aimed At Empty Nesters

With the rapid development of science and technology and constant innovation of digital products, multimedia speakers are developed from the single speaker which can send a voice at the beginning to the current multi-functional speaker system, which has experienced a period of rapid changes. In terms of the current consumption market, the sound quality is no longer the sole criterion for consumers to buy multimedia speakers, then people put forward more higher requirement for it, and gradually will focus on human nature, caring, healthy, green, environmental protection, etc.At present, multimedia speakers’ consumption group is mainly focused on the young people, there are few speakers products specifically designed for old people. However, China’s current social situation is increasingly aging, the number of elderly population is climbing, which is also a significant number of empty nesters increasing, population aging has become a social problem which can not be ignored. In the face of such social situation,we in addition to service for the elderly in terms of living, spiritual, recreational, cultural and other aspects of care services for the elderly should also be done. Through the survey found,empty nesters have certain requirements in terms of audio-visual entertainment, and listening to music is beneficial to the physical and mental health of the elderly,which has formed the tendency of audiovisual products specifically designed for old people.The main content of this paper is the design and research of multimedia speakers which aimed at empty nesters,on the one hand, we put the needs of the user experience levels as a starting point; on the other hand, combining with the psychological characteristics of empty nesters, we study the multimedia speakers in the relationship between human-machine-environment and analyze the "internal factors" and "external factors" which affect the design of multimedia speakers,then according to the internal and external factors,we synthetically design out the needed speakers and verify its feasibility, so that letting empty-nesters really experience the human nature, caring and pleasant user experience brought about by multimedia speakers.Firstly,this paper use the research methods of "user-centered" to survey the target population-empty nesters and multimedia speakers, analyzing and studying the survival present situation and the characteristics of empty nesters and basic situation of the multimedia speakers, and other content; Secondly,using the survey method, observation method, interview method and other research methods to conduct the behavior content between empty nesters and multimedia speakers, including the behavior analysis,the environmental analysis of using multimedia speakers, corresponding emotional response analysis and so on;Again,putting the needs of the user experience levels as a starting point,we analyze the internal and external demand which the target users need for multimedia speakers,thus further putting forward the design principles of multimedia speakers aimed at empty nesters;Finally,we apply the design principles of multimedia speakers to the practical programs and verify its effectiveness,so really aimed at empty nesters.
