摘要

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the "emotional economy

" smart home products are shifting from being technology-driven to emotionally-empowered. Yet most existing products remain functionally focused

lacking emotional design. Drawing on emotional design theory

this study uses the case of "Guangyu Huashi" to explore how home products can build emotional brands through qualitative analysis of brand philosophy

narrative construction

and product experience. The study proposes a theoretical model comprising "emotional insights

" "brand narratives

" and "multisensory implementation

" forming a closed loop from user empathy to spiritual value and sensory experience. Finally

it discusses implications for the smart home industry

highlighting future directions in emotional intelligence

systematic storytelling

experiential ecosystems

and integration with AI and biosensing technologies

offering guidance for the shift from functional to emotional competition.
