Experience the nuanced Moto X Pro human-computer interaction test.
Leave the mobile phone scene temporarily.
In your life, have you ever encountered a situation where your mobile phone is not around for a while, such as going to the toilet or taking a takeaway temporarily? For obsessive-compulsive patients like the author, there is always a feeling that when the author leaves, the mobile phone will miss important calls or text messages in a short time. Moto X Pro is equipped with a new Moto display function. When the mobile phone is in standby state, just touch or slide lightly on the top of the mobile phone screen, and important information you haven't checked will be displayed on the screen, such as SMS, email, missed calls, WeChat and other notification icons will be displayed on the screen, eliminating the tedious operation of opening the screen to unlock. And sometimes the push of various social software will remind the mobile phone when it is inappropriate. With this function, you can distinguish whether an event is important or not without opening the screen.
Quick mute of meeting scene
During the meeting, the most embarrassing thing was that the phone suddenly rang. Answer it, it will interrupt an important meeting. This is very impolite. Don't answer it. The bell keeps ringing. The author has personally experienced the embarrassment of blocked mobile phone speakers. Now major mobile phone manufacturers also have built-in fast mute function. This time, Moto X Pro uses the form of waving at the top of the phone screen to quickly turn on the mute function. No matter how many infrared sensors on the front are brushed on the top or bottom of the fuselage, the mute mechanism can almost be started at 100%, which is also the fast mute human-computer interaction function with the highest recognition rate I have experienced so far. Of course, some people will say that it is not good to design physical mute keys like iPhone. But for a forgetful person like me, Moto's mute mechanism is more popular with me than forgetting to switch back to normal mode after a meeting.
Turn on the flashlight quickly
Flashlight For low-usage components such as mobile phone flash, part-time job is their real meaning. But the flash is basically an emergency function. For example, the lighting on the first floor of the corridor suddenly broke down. In such an unexpected situation, the first thing that comes to mind for current users is to take out their mobile phones for lighting. However, quite a few users feel that the steps of turning on the flash of the mobile phone are too complicated. Instead of taking out your mobile phone to open the screen and turning on the flashlight plug-in (even some mobile phones need to be unlocked and other more complicated processes), it is better to go there in the dark, which not only increases the danger, but also makes the smart phone look unwise. Moto X Pro's solution is to shake the phone twice to quickly turn on the flash. Compared with opening the screen on the iPhone and finding the precise operation of the flash plug-in, the opening method of Moto X Pro is much more stupid. Even when the author holds the iPhone, he will shake the phone inadvertently, and then suddenly realize. If the human-computer interaction experience is good, then I think this function is another crowning touch on Moto X Pro.
The most humanized camera starts quickly.
The camera starts quickly, and this function is also widely used in mobile phones. Many manufacturers understand the quick start of the camera as "the sooner the better", and even have the functions of quick start, fixed focus and quick photo taking. I think this function should appear in the profession of journalists. For mobile phones, snapping is obviously not the original intention of starting the camera quickly. It is undeniable that taking photos has always been one of the most commonly used functions of mobile phones. More often, users take out their mobile phones just to take pictures, and the steps such as unlocking are obviously not the steps that users want to experience. Moto's understanding is to simplify the steps for users to start taking pictures as much as possible, thus improving the camera user's photo experience. Shake the phone twice to turn on the photo function, and the trigger rate is almost 100%. This action can be basically completed from the time when the user takes out the mobile phone to the time when the mobile phone is ready to be photographed in both hands.
The passive voice recognition function has a good experience.
If Hello Moto is the brand of Moto, then OK Moto X is the best synonym for Moto X series products. In science fiction movies, direct voice communication between the protagonist and intelligent devices is considered as a sign of artificial intelligence. At present, mature human-computer interaction operations, such as SIRI and Cortana, all require specific operations to open the software, and passive speech recognition cannot be realized. There are several reasons for this: 1. The sensor is not sensitive enough and requires special operation to trigger voice commands. 2. The speech recognition module cannot stand idly by with low power consumption. Moto X Pro solves these two problems. After the author's test, the success rate of using "OK Moto X" to wake up the mobile phone to enter the voice assistant is extremely high, and the author's English teacher has no experience in studying in London. I guess, for the command "OK Moto X", Moto X is awakened by recognizing voiceprints with a low-power processor. And one thing I have to mention is that the design of Moto X is specially customized for human-computer interaction. For example, the metal decorative strips at the top and bottom of the front speaker and receiver surface slightly protrude from the screen surface, so that when the mobile phone is upside down on the desktop, the speaker microphone can still receive the user's voice commands. Many manufacturers often don't notice such details, and for users, although they don't notice these small details, they often ultimately determine the user's definition of whether the mobile phone is easy to use.
Moto X's built-in voice assistant is lin xi voice assistant, which has the same function as other mobile phones' built-in lin xi assistant. Users can make phone calls, set alarm clocks, listen to books, check phone bills, watch news, check weather and so on through voice commands. Moreover, the recognition rate of Putonghua and dialects is very high. Many other functions of Linxi's assistant are not introduced here, such as translation, video, music, voice-activated unlocking and so on. It can be said that lin xi's assistant is the most versatile voice assistant with the highest recognition rate in China.
Humanized motorcycle assistant
I believe that everyone will encounter such problems. When you go to bed at 3 o'clock in the evening, suddenly a harassing phone call or a harassing text message wakes you up, and you can do nothing but scold your mother. 24-hour boot has become a regular demand of current users. How to avoid being disturbed by harassing calls at night? In this small detail, Moto X Pro brings you the Moto assistant function. In the sleep scene, users can set a rest period according to their own schedule, such as 23: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning. At this time, the mobile phone will ask whether to turn on the sleep mode. When the sleep mode is turned on, the screen of the mobile phone will be closed, so that the mobile phone will not repeatedly open the screen to disturb sleep because of some application notifications. Of course, users can also choose a more thorough do not disturb function, which will automatically turn off before you wake up and will not affect it.
For many manufacturers, the conference mode is a function of timing mute, but for Moto, it is more important. Moto's meeting mode can be linked to the calendar. When the calendar shows that you are attending a meeting at that time, the system will automatically open the meeting mode, and when the meeting is over, the system will automatically return to the normal mode. For business people, calendar and meeting are two inseparable functions. The aggregation of the two shows that Moto's understanding of business people has surpassed that of other manufacturers.
summarize experience
In fact, there seems to be no qualitative innovation in the above functions, but Moto has improved both hardware and software behind these intimate and humanized operations. Hardware: Moto X has built-in low-power sensor signal processor of Texas Instruments TMS320C55 and low-power processor of NXP. Compared with many manufacturers who use the built-in processing module of SOC chip, a single low-power processor can process sensor information with lower power consumption and real-time high efficiency, thus realizing real low-power, long standby and real-time human-computer interaction response. After all, at present, human-computer interaction can not completely replace the traditional way of interaction, and it is the best way of human-computer interaction without bringing more pressure to the mobile phone. Software: All innovations in human-computer interaction on Moto X are basically zero learning costs, and users can use them immediately without teaching at all. In fact, this is because Moto X has not made any customized user experience. Saying the password to wake up the phone, shaking the screen to turn on the mute and so on are all functions that we will involuntarily accept, remember and use in the later stage. Today, the intelligent human-computer interaction experience can not completely replace the traditional operation mode. How to reduce the learning cost of users using human-computer interaction, how to improve the stickiness of users using human-computer interaction functions and how to increase the success rate of human-computer interaction are the three magic weapons that can ultimately improve users' reputation. Moto can't say that it has achieved the ultimate in all three aspects, but at this stage it is obviously ahead of other competitors.
