Google Nest Hub（第2世代）が国内でも販売決定Overview of Google Nest Hub (second Generation)
The new Google Nest Hub is characterized by maintaining the first-generation sense of size while adding hardware improvements and new features.
The monitor does not change with the 10.1 LCD (1024 × 600 pixels). Because it is a "edge-free design" that has nothing to do with the picture, so cleaning is also very simple.
After receiving feedback from many users that they enjoyed music and video, the bass of the speaker was 50% stronger than that of the first generation. The size of the screwdriver is 43.5 mm. It is reported that the microphone has been enhanced from 2 to 3, especially in the environment with more sound, the accuracy of speech recognition has been improved.
The sensor class of the body, in addition to the optical sensor (supporting amplifier), is also equipped with a new temperature sensor and Soli sensor. There is no camera installed, but you can use "Motion Sense" (gesture manipulation) by using Soli sensors.
In addition, Google also supports Thread Radio, the home wireless communication standard advocated by Thread Group, which can support the design of Project Connected Home over IP in the future.
スピーカーは低音再生能力を向上し、Soliセンサーを使ったMotion Senseにも対応するマイクを3基構成とすることで音声認識の精度を向上。Thread Radioも搭載することで、将来に渡って「ホームIoTデバイスのハブ」として利用できる睡眠トラッキング機能を搭載
It is reported that there are a lot of Google Nest devices in the bedroom. Therefore, on the second generation Nest Hub, it is equipped with a number of functions that are convenient to use in the bedroom. Special efforts are made to make use of the sleep tracking function of the Soli sensor.
Recently, more and more smart belts and smartwatches are installed with sleep tracking function. However, represented by the fact that you can't track without wearing a watch on your arm, continuous sleep tracking is surprisingly difficult.
As a result, Google has devised a way to use basically "normal" Nest Hub for sleep tracking. Use Soli sensor to detect the position of the measured object, record sleep, snoring and sound, temperature and room brightness during sleep, and judge the sleep quality. It is reported that data from various sensors will be processed within the Nest Hub entity, and only processed "sleep data" will be sent to Google.
In the implementation, the monitors of thousands of people have obtained more than 100000 sleep data, which is the same as or exceeds the performance of sleep trackers at the marketing / clinical level.
Soliセンサーを活用して、非接触で睡眠トラッキングを行える開発に当たっては数千人のモニターを対象に10万回を超える睡眠データを取得して検証を行った取得したデータはNest Hub上で処理した上で必要なデータのみをGoogleに送信するようになっているThe tracking results can be confirmed on Nest Hub or from smartphones with "Google Fit" installed. With the enrichment of the tracking data, Nest Hub also suggested an ideal sleep route. It is reported that cooperation with the smart band produced by Fitbit will also be discussed in the future.
New Nest Hub buyers will use this sleep tracking feature as a "preview" for free until 2022. In the meantime, we will study the mode of service, including charging.
起床後にNest Hubに話しかけると、トラッキングの結果の概要を説明してもらえる「睡眠の長さ」「スケジュール（入眠／起床時間の一貫性チェック）」「睡眠の室」をチェックする画面咳（せき）や呼吸のカウントも取れるようになっているトラッキング結果はGoogle Fitでも確認できる
