The core of attracting tourists: Self-guided audio guide device design, first understand the tourists before creating the product

 
Many manufacturers of self-guided audio guide devices only focus on technical parameters and are obsessed with complex functions, but they forget the most crucial point: When tourists use the self-guided audio guide device, they want something "easy to listen to, clear to understand, and not troublesome". When tourists visit a scenic area, it's for relaxation and enjoying the scenery. No one wants to spend time studying the complex operation of the equipment, and no one wants to carry a heavy instrument and suffer for a whole day's walk.
 
This is the most practical experience Yingmi has gained over the past 18 years in the self-guided audio guide device business. Since its establishment in 2007, Yingmi has served thousands of scenic areas and museums, and has received countless tourists. Yingmi is well aware of the troubles and pain points that tourists encounter when visiting the scenic area. Therefore, the design of M7 focuses entirely on "tourist experience", without any unnecessary feature overloading. Every design can hit the tourists' needs, which is the key to attracting them.
 

Lightweight design: Avoiding the device from becoming a burden during the tour

 
When tourists visit a scenic area, it usually takes two to three hours, or even a whole day. They hold their phones, cameras, and carry their bags, which is already exhausting. If the self-guided audio guide device is too heavy and cumbersome, tourists are likely to throw it in their bag and not use it at all. Therefore, to make tourists willing to use it, the first step is to make the device "lightweight and easy to carry".
 
M7 adopts a chest-hanging design. This design is particularly understanding of tourists - it doesn't require them to hold it with their hands all the time or press it against their ears to press on the ear canal. Just hanging it on the chest, they can enjoy the scenic area without any trouble. What's more, it is particularly lightweight, weighing only 50g and only 12.5mm thick. It's thinner and lighter than an ordinary mobile phone. Wearing it on the chest feels almost nothing, and tourists won't feel tired after a whole day of visiting the scenic area. It won't interfere with taking photos or enjoying the scenery, and even elderly tourists won't feel any burden when using it.
 
In addition, the shell of M7 is made of anodized coating technology, which feels smooth and has a high appearance level. Unlike some ordinary self-guided audio guide devices, it doesn't look cheap and heavy. When worn on the chest, it's not obtrusive and can even serve as a small decoration, gradually enhancing tourists' willingness to use it. This is the little trick of "details attracting customers" in design.

Intelligent sensing design: Making the audio guide "not disturbing and more immersive", in line with the tourists' tour rhythm

 
One of the most troublesome issues with self-guided audio guide devices is that tourists need to manually switch the audio guide content - either by pressing a number to select or searching for buttons to operate. This is not only troublesome but also very likely to interrupt the tourists' tour rhythm. Sometimes, while deeply immersed in the beautiful scenery, they have to stop to find the buttons and switch the content, and their interest immediately fades, resulting in a terrible experience. Truly attractive self-guided audio guide devices must be "understanding the rhythm and not disturbing".
 
M7 has solved this problem. It is equipped with an advanced RFID-2.4G non-interfering star distribution system and uses digital encoding positioning technology. The core is "intelligent sensing and automatic guiding". The scenic area only needs to place signal transmitters at each information point. When tourists enter the information area with the M7 device, they don't need to perform any manual operations. The device will automatically detect the signal and play the corresponding information about the scenic spot. When they reach the next information point, the content will automatically switch. This truly achieves "sound on when people are present, and sound off when people leave", making it very convenient.
 
More importantly, this design can effectively avoid the problem of adjacent scenic spots causing interference and false triggering. The information content is clear and orderly. Tourists can visit at their own pace. If they want to stay longer at a certain scenic spot or listen to the information several more times, they can stop. If they don't want to listen anymore, they can take a few steps forward, and the information will automatically stop. It completely doesn't disturb the tourists' enjoyment of the tour. This "immersive, non-interfering" information presentation mode precisely meets the needs of tourists for independent tours and makes the information presentation no longer a burden, but rather a "good companion" for the tour.
 

Multilingual + Flexible Adaptation: Catering to Different Tourists' Needs, Expanding the Attraction Scope


The tourists at the scenic area come from all over the country and even from abroad. A self-service information device that can attract more tourists must take into account the needs of different groups of people, break through language barriers, and ensure that every tourist can understand and see, and can feel the cultural connotations of the scenic spots.
 
Yingmi M7 is equipped with 8 languages as standard, covering common foreign languages. Once tourists get it, they can choose the language they are familiar with and safely understand the history and anecdotes of the scenic spots and their cultural connotations. They no longer have to go through a cursory glance and take just a few photos because of language barriers. At the same time, it also supports custom language expansion. If it's a local scenic area, it can even add dialect explanations, which is both in line with the usage habits of local tourists and allows foreign tourists to experience the local cultural characteristics. This "immersive, non-interfering" information presentation mode precisely meets the needs of tourists for independent tours and makes the information presentation no longer a burden, but rather a "good companion" for the tour.
 
In addition, M7 supports MP3 playback format. The information content can be imported in advance, not only allowing for professional scenic spot information playback, but also playing local folk songs and related historical stories, making the information presentation no longer dull and boring and more infectious. Tourists can freely adjust the volume according to their needs. Whether it's a crowded and noisy square or a quiet courtyard or exhibition hall, they can hear it clearly without having to get close to the device and strain their ears.

Long-lasting Battery Life + Convenient Accessories: Letting Tourists Have No Worries, Using with Confidence

 
When tourists visit the scenic area, the biggest concern is that the device runs out of power halfway. Especially for tourists from other places, there is no place to charge in the scenic area, and once the device runs out of power, they can only return to the "skimming" mode. The originally good tour experience is immediately discounted. Therefore, long-lasting battery life and convenient charging accessories are also important design points to attract tourists, allowing tourists to use with confidence and peace of mind.
 
The receiver of M7 can be charged fully once and can be used continuously for more than 16 hours. Even if tourists spend the whole day visiting the scenic area from dawn to dusk, they won't have to worry about power failure halfway. They can visit and listen with peace of mind. The battery life of the transmitter is even more durable, with a lifespan of up to 3 months. The scenic area doesn't need to frequently replace batteries, and management is also more convenient. For the needs of batch management of scenic areas, M7 is equipped with a dedicated contact charging box, with two specifications of 36 units and 48 units. It can charge multiple devices at the same time, which is both fast and protects the battery, extending the lifespan of the device. It not only meets the usage needs of tourists, making them willing and eager to use it, but also helps the scenic area improve its service quality and indirectly attract more tourists - when tourists have a good experience, they will feel that the service of the scenic area is considerate and attentive. The reputation will naturally spread, and they will be willing to come again and will also recommend it to their friends.
 
As a national-level high-tech enterprise, Yingmi has 4 automated SMT production lines. Each M7 machine must undergo 5 strict inspections under the 7S quality control system.

During after-sale service, professional installation services, free technical support, and lifetime guarantee are available.
