Although each has its own characteristics, the homogenization of hardware and systems is still serious! Iqiyi Orange Bean Box is a Internet TV set-top box designed for our parents by iQIYI and Orange Bean Technology. It truly focuses on caring about the parents' old age, carefully designing for family care, and making family love zero distance! The entire system is based on the perspective of family and parents.

Appearance This time, the author got the latest version of the orange bean box, its packaging, compared with the old version of the outsourcing with great changes!


The whole packaging box is made of orange, and the red color of the previous edition has changed dramatically. Above the middle, is a very digital smile, people who often use the Internet, a look to know! The top right corner is the orange bean box logo and the iQIYI anti-counterfeit logo. This anti-counterfeiting mark is rarely seen in the packaging of other boxes! With respect to the Chinese taste and heavy feeling of the Chinese version of the box, the new version of the box is obviously digital and full of vitality.


In front of the outer box is a pair of cartoon images of parents, the following reads "Tea box, TV box designed only for parents!" Point questions directly to show the main features of the box.


The back is the logo of the orange bean box.


The left side of the box (Figure 1) is a two-dimensional code. After the scan, you can follow the public number of the orange bean box “Guangzu Smart Home”. The right side (Figure 2) is the product name, device model, etc.


Open the box, you can see, there are mainly orange box host, remote control, installation instructions, instructions for use, warranty card, power cord, HDMI cable each one. Open the cover, the first to see is the box host, out of the host, there is the installation instructions, instructions, warranty card! Take them out, there is a remote control, it is inserted sideways in the paper case. Take out the paper shell, power cord, HDMI cable is displayed ~ ~ ~ host, remote control, power cord are all white.


The mainframe is 160mm long, 110mm wide, and 36mm high. The top is made of transparent SABIC polycarbonate with a rich texture. The surface is protected by a transparent sticker, and the sticker is torn off. There is only one JUDOU logo on the entire upper part, and the overall appearance is crystal clear.


The black part on the front of the main unit is an infrared receiver and a breathing switch light, using acrylic material, delicate and smooth! After power on, red or blue light will be emitted.


The back of the host is the interface area. From left to right are the AV interface, USB2.0 interface X2, RJ45 network interface, HDMI interface, and power interface. From the interface, support old TV and new TV broadcast.


The middle of the bottom is the nameplate of the orange bean box, and the two rows of beautiful patterns on the upper and lower rows are the cooling holes. There are rubber mats around the two rows respectively. The cooling holes effectively solve the problem of overheating of the box. The non-slip pad effectively prevents the box from falling.


Orange bean remote control uses two No. 7 batteries to power! As with most box remotes, a simple 12-button design was adopted. In order to prevent parents from not understanding icons, the Chinese logo was deliberately used. And all the buttons are larger for the convenience of the parents than the general remote control design. From top to bottom are the opening key, menu key, home key, confirmation key, four-grid direction key, return key, volume plus/minus key, and special function key - home key. The bottom is the orange bean logo.

Hardware Configuration

The operating system Iqiyi orange beans box uses the Android 4.4.4 operating system, but often improved, the operation is simple and not cumbersome, very fitting to the operating habits of the elderly!


Turn on the orange box power supply. After connecting the TV, you can see Figure 1. Here, we can see that the whole interface is divided into three parts. The upper part is the left GITV logo and menu category. The entire interface is divided into three categories, namely, the home page (Figure 1, Figure 2), and the application (Figure 3). (Figure 4), the project is very few, simple and straightforward. On the right is the weather forecast, which shows the weather in real time. The middle part is classified as a large box. Various commonly used functions are displayed in this way, making it easier for parents to click on them. At the same time, large fonts are used to make it difficult for parents to read characters. The lower part is the application area. Currently, the application is displayed because no application is installed.


Let's start with the home page classification. Under the home page, there are several sections for family sharing, movie and television channels, video push, weather forecast, and pre-school education. Among them, family sharing charts, video push, and adding applications are all orange box features. This is very difficult in other boxes. Obvious location found, but also the biggest selling point of the orange box! With it, you can share photos and videos with your family anywhere, and reduce the longing for your parents to miss you!

Other films, variety shows, opera operas, comic dialogues, plaza leisure, VIP film and television, health and health, pharmacy columns, talk show, and emotional mediation are all similar to TV shows! Among them, opera opera, comic dialogue, I believe there are many older people who will be very like! Square Plaza is mainly a square dance, I believe many aunts will love! Health and health, Puff column, talk show, emotional mediation and other columns, are many middle-aged and old people like.


Click on the more behind, you will enter the interface of Figure 1, I believe many people will be very familiar. Yes, this is the interface of iQiyi Litchi TV. It is simply simplified. It is divided into four items: recommended (Figure 1), channel (Figure 2), application (Figure 3) and settings (Figure 4). It is a function without shielding perfection, and there are not many items that can be operated. This interface has no problem for young people. However, for the middle-aged and the elderly, it may be too cumbersome to choose too much.


Back to the home page, select Weather Forecast to appear in Figure 1. Here, you can set the weather forecast in the top right corner of the homepage. You can set up to four areas of weather. Here is a reflection of the orange beans box to the family, parents care! When the child is away from home, parents can't see it. Every day, he pays attention to the children's weather, which is also a miss for children! The way to add regions is to select the plus sign (Figure 2) and enter the province, city/county/district selection, find the area where the child is located, and the weather in the area will appear when selected (Figure 4).

Click on the application market to enter the Galaxy app store (Figure 2). In the Galaxy app store (Figure 3), there are a variety of applications, but also the use of large sections of design, you can clearly see the difference between the various sections to facilitate application search.


My application mainly manages the applications installed in the system (Figure 1). Click to enter, you can see all the applications installed in the system (Figure 2), some of which are system applications, are not allowed to manage, but self-installed applications can be managed. Press the remote control key, move to the bottom, you can see the uninstall button (Figure 3). After clicking the uninstall application button, you can uninstall it by selecting the application you want to uninstall (Figure 4).


The U disk device is a file manager used to manage the disk. Click from Figure 1 to enter. As you can see in Figure 2, it supports several ways of managing local disks, SD cards, removable disks, SATA, and Network Neighborhood. However, from the device interface, it seems that only removable disks are supported. SD Card and SATA have no interfaces. Click on the menu button on the right file name to display the management interface (Figure 3).


The last item is the game. This function is to be downloaded. The default is not self-contained. Click on the download, you can see the picture above. There are several categories of mahjong, landlords, chess, flying chess, grape games, marshmallow games. The classification on the interface shows that most of the games are played by older and younger people, and young and middle-aged players play games in the latter two games!


Continue to right click to enter the settings interface (Figure 1). Here are some settings for the system, including wireless configuration, network speed, system information, and more settings. In the wireless configuration, the network cable cannot be inserted. Otherwise, the prompt in Figure 2 will appear! It is configured in the same way as a mobile phone. Network speed measurement is mainly used to test the network speed (Figure 3). Here you can see the MAC, IP, gateway, operator, and network speed of the device. System information is mainly used to view the software version, device number, and stored information.


In front of the common settings, the main settings are in more settings. Click to open more settings (Figure 1), you can see there are ten categories, namely, wired configuration, broadband dialing, display area, network speed, system information, wireless configuration, resolution, system upgrades, wireless hotspots, restore the factory .
Wired configuration: Figure 2, here plug in the Internet line, the default automatic configuration is open, without any settings, you can access the Internet.
Broadband dial-up: Figure 3, this is mainly for users who do not use routers and directly use PPPOE dial-up devices to access the Internet. For example, for ordinary ADSL users, enter the user name and password here, and the box will dial up automatically.
Display area: Figure 4, this is mainly for some of the boxes do not support the automatic adjustment of the size of the interface display, the user can manually adjust to adapt to the display.
Network speed, system information, wireless configuration and previous settings are the same.

At this point you can use mobile devices to connect hotspots.


Restore the factory: When the device is getting slower or some problems occur, you can restore the system to factory settings! Let it return to normal!

From the introduction of the system above, it can be seen that the overall design idea of ​​the orange bean box is biased towards middle aged people and young children. This is true of all interface designs and column classification designs. In particular, columns such as Tai Chi, Square Dance, and Health, etc., cannot be found so quickly in other boxes. The orange box is placed in an obvious position to see its "TV box designed for parents only." The purpose!

The feature is a "TV box designed only for parents". How can parents not care about their children's thoughts and their children's care for their parents? Here we talk about the features of the orange bean box --- the function of the family share circle.

One, orange beans box binding


On the homepage (Figure 1), select the family to share the circle, push the video, and add the app. Figure 2 will appear. Here, if the child is not around, follow the instructions, and the parent can call the child to follow the WeChat public number of the orange bean box, and then enter the binding code in the setting.

Sharing circles is a unique feature of the orange bean box. Here, children can share their photos and videos with their parents far away from home. At the same time, they can remotely install software and recommend videos for the box to enrich their parents' lives. This is not for the long-traveling wanderers, although they can't often go home to see, but to share pictures of their parents, help parents find some favorite movies, want to use the software, just like their parents, to give their parents the same life The care on it is very good.

Its family members share the functions of laps, help with finding films, weather forecasting, health and health programs, and other features. Whether it is a long-time wanderer or a child at home, buying a box of orange beans and giving it to their parents is a good gift! I just went to the official saw the orange box offer - 299 yuan! Relative to other boxes, the price is slightly higher, but compared to a filial piety suitable for parents and considerate parents, the author thinks it is worth it! recommend!
