2017 artificial intelligence will promote smart home fission

HC intelligent home network's intelligent home through the highs and lows of 2016, 2017, or opened a new chapter in conjunction with artificial intelligence.

After the climax and trough of 2016, smart homes will open a new chapter in artificial intelligence in 2017.

At CES2017, Li Yanhong went to the CES site to launch the artificial intelligence operating system DuerOS platform for Baidu Secret, focusing on the application of DuerOS in the future smart home. In addition, similar voice smart products such as Google's GoogleHome, Microsoft Cortana, Amazon Alexa and so on have also appeared. With the maturity of artificial intelligence, 2017 will be an important year for artificial intelligence to enter practical use from cutting-edge technology. Artificial intelligence + smart home is full of imagination.

Smart homes have been around for decades, and have gone through two stages. The first stage is the intelligentization of single items. All homes are connected to people's mobile phones, and all appliances are remotely controlled by the App. The second stage is intelligent interaction, that is, two or N appliances can be intelligently linked. For example, the lights in the room will be automatically turned off after the smart curtains are opened, or the bathroom heater in the bathroom will be heated after the smart air conditioner is turned on.

At the current stage of development, the technology of the above smart home has already been realized. There are many brands on the market, such as our familiar Xiaomi Smart Home Set, Lenovo Home Security Package, Wulian Smart Home Package, and Oerrebo Smart Home Package. However, the second stage is weak intelligence, just porting the switch to the phone, or the intelligence of the weak linkage. The weakness of this model is the lack of intelligence, which deviates from the real effect expected by users. With the popularity of similar products, the uncomfortable experience has cooled the enthusiasm of some users.

The third stage represented by artificial intelligence gradually reflects people's eyes. The fully artificial intelligent home will realize a fully automatic, self-learning and self-sensing smart home system. That is to say, abandoning the mobile phone, installing a smarter artificial brain for the smart home, completely liberating the artificial control of the home, so that all the homes have the ability to understand the user's mind. When the user finishes the work after a hard day, he returns home, artificial intelligence deployment, hot water in the door, bath room, air conditioning in the living room, lighting... everything can be automatically recognized without control, and people only enjoy it. The center does not have to worry about this transition.

All this seems to be a sci-fi description. The artificial intelligence housekeeper of Jarvis, developed by Mark Zuckerberg, has been realized. This smart butler can not only adjust the indoor environment, arrange Zuckerberg’s meeting schedule, and do it regularly. Breakfast, automatic washing, identification and entertaining visitors, and even taking care of Jarvis’s daughter to teach her Chinese. If this is a super brain, as long as the existing smart home products are connected to it, it becomes its eyes, ears, limbs, and the third stage of a completed smart home is born.

In the battlefield of smart home, there are established technology companies such as Qualcomm, Intel, TI, Internet giants such as Google, Apple and Microsoft, as well as home appliance manufacturers such as Haier, Samsung and LG, and operators such as Radio and TV and China Mobile. The whole industry is led by the giants to set standards, and small and medium-sized players are actively participating and gradually growing.

Any field combined with artificial intelligence has unlimited imagination, Google, Baidu's unmanned car; Ali's face recognition, iris recognition; Apple's proud voice recognition Siri and Microsoft's Xiaona. In foreign countries, Apple and Google's two heroes fought, and in the country, BAT, Jingdong, Xiaomi, Haier and other major forces involved. Smart home, as a scene related to one-third of people's lives, will be the development direction of artificial intelligence. It will not include several technologies, but the integration of the entire artificial intelligence results.

With the breakthrough of artificial intelligence in many fields in 2017, these achievements will stimulate the fission of smart home in 2017, although the combination of smart home and artificial intelligence is still in the early stage of the melee, with the invisible hand of the market to survive the fittest A smarter future may emerge in the near future.
