Abstract

This study focuses on home education and entertainment terminal products, aiming to explore the diverse trends and strategies in education and entertainment within contemporary households while promoting children's development and parent-child interaction. Through a combination of literature review and case study analysis, the paper defines these products, categorizes their key types, and explores their development trends in depth. The findings suggest that such products are evolving in four main directions: diversification and collaboration of carriers, scene fusion, seamless characteristics of products, and simplification of intelligence. Based on these insights, the study proposes three design strategies: centering design around the family, incorporating appropriate functionalities, and ensuring the technology alignment with real-world usage contexts. The results of this research offer both theoretical support and practical guidance for the optimization and innovation of home education and entertainment terminal products.
