OFweek smart home network communications smart home market scale up to trillions of dollars, driving many companies such as Google, Apple and Samsung to extend the strategy to the field, giants build ecosystems, to consolidate the dominant power in the smart home industry, however The reality is cruel, and unlike the giants, the market does not have a perfect smart living ecosystem. Although Apple’s HomeKit smart home platform is an international typical ecological case, it is an excellent third-party product. not much.
The speaker becomes the key behind the AI ​​system in the intelligent home center
Since 2014, many technology companies have started to become involved in smart homes, and a large number of innovative start-up companies have also emerged. However, the smart life has not been realized on a large scale, but the artificial intelligence technology represented by deep learning has become increasingly sophisticated, making the battle for smart living. The rekindling of war is also an important technical driving force for the realization of smart homes.
At this year's developer conferences of Google, Microsoft, and Apple, artificial intelligence has become a core technology, including Apple’s first demonstration of artificial intelligence, and it has released a machine learning framework for developers, Core ML, with text analysis and face recognition. And so on, it's amazing that face recognition is six times faster than Google Pixel.
In addition, Apple has upgraded its voice assistant Siri and embedded AI technology for various product services. It can be seen from the developer conferences of the world's three largest technology giants that smart homes have become part of Google’s upgrade of Google Home. Both Microsoft and Apple are launching the first time. Voice technology smart speakers, to join the snatch smart home entrance, voice as a breakthrough, and "speaker" as a hub, through smart speakers and voice technology, in order to build a smart home ecosystem.
In particular, Apple’s launch of HomePod, a smart speaker powered by Siri, quickly became a global technology focus. The author's circle of friends was swept by Apple Audio. Although it was not a product that was very colorful, Apple's products represented the future of global consumer electronics, especially the current fiery In the smart home market, all parties have introduced intelligent speaker products that control family life. Apple's HomePod, equipped with Siri's voice assistant, is regarded as the strongest rival in the history of Amazon and Google.
However, smart home innovation company Oerlikon has given different opinions. In their view, voice interactions in smart homes are very important. Before AI algorithm breaks through, it cannot fundamentally resolve many user experience pain points such as macro-interaction and semantic recognition. Even in the future, smart speakers and their voice interactions cannot replace other interactive portals and other interactions.
Apple HomePod Speaker Joins Luxury Voice Interaction Camp
Earlier, there was news that Apple would launch a smart speaker product. It was not surprising that Apple introduced HomePod to join the voice interactive camp. In fact, voice interaction has long been in the smart speaker field. Amazon's Echo, Google's Google Home and other predecessor products have been given voice interactive capabilities.
Similar to Amazon Echo's ring microphone array, the Apple HomePod uses a similar 6-megawatt circular array technology, which focuses on precise positioning and far-field interaction. From a functional point of view, HomePod connects Apple's content resources, completes news broadcasts, weather inquiries, stocks, timers, etc. through voice control. HomePod can voice control Siri control home lighting, door locks and curtains and other equipment.
Why are smart speakers so fond of circular arrays? I learned that the multi-micro array is mainly designed to effectively solve long-distance speech recognition problems, allowing users to perform voice manipulations in every corner of the home. At present, the home furnishing market has a lot of applications such as Information Flight's ring 4+1 wheat and wheat, Sibi linear 4 wheat arrays and ring 6 wheat arrays. The optimization and upgrade of microphone array technology will continue to enhance the voice interaction experience of smart speaker products.
In contrast, it is not difficult to find that microphone arrays and content resources are key technologies that enhance the user experience. Home assistants and home control seem to be the mainstream directions of smart speaker positioning. Changes in product form have not changed the mainstream direction of product design.
The surging wave of foreign countries has also promoted the development of smart speakers in China. Lenovo speakers are similar in design to Echo, Google Home, and HomePod. The overseas version is powered by the Alexa platform, and the domestic version is configured with the ring 6+2 developed by Spirit. The microphone array can realize far field interaction and sound source positioning, and the content resources are relatively mainstream. Under the premise of a large audience of domestic smart products, its market performance is still worth the wait.
In the past two years, the popularity of voice interaction technology has been stubbornly high. The battles between foreign companies such as Amazon, Apple, and Google have already reached the domestic level. Baidu has listed artificial intelligence as the main battlefield. Tencent AI Lab has introduced Yu Dong’s general, Ali. The overall ecological layout has opened up, igniting the field of voice interaction. Last year, Goldman Sachs reported that only two voice companies in the country had been shortlisted. They thought that they would go out and ask questions, and they were also very successful in their respective B-side and C-side markets. Ebb Tide, I believe in the coming years, the artificial intelligence market will become more and more clear.
HomeKit's smart ecology is improving
Apple launched the smart home HomeKit platform at the 2014 WWDC Conference to compete for the entry point of the smart home. The embryonic form of the platform was born at Apple. Globally, the Apple HomeKit platform is the world's largest ecosystem. The interconnection and intercommunication of various devices and the perception of the user's behavior enhance the smart life of users under various scenarios.
As the most typical case of smart home ecology in the world, Apple has a good and appealing open ecological system, and gradually improved the products that access the HomeKit platform ecosystem. Among them, Gizwits Cloud, a domestic Internet of Things cloud service platform, The only company in the country that has been an “Internet Explorer†certified MFi company in the Asia Pacific region for seven years in a row has been an excellent Internet of Things software solution provider. It helped Chinese companies connect to Apple early on. For example, Iron General, Happy Heart, Silverlit, has been submitted on the App Store. More than 1,000 applications.
As the early promotion of many Chinese companies accessing HomeKit's Tactics Cloud, based on the Internet of Everything, that is, cloud, end, to the device cloud integration, and share to the entire industry chain, has more than 6000+ enterprise registered users, covering domestic and foreign coverage Domestic and foreign famous manufacturers such as AO Smith, 3M, Midea, Oaks, Wanhe, Supor, Emmett, etc., have access to HomeKit Dinosaur 1, Xinbao, Duya, Emmett and Ops to accelerate smart home service upgrades and enhance their smart life. .
As Apple HomeKit continues to expand the ecology, many excellent third-party manufacturers products, use Apple voice assistant Siri can be related to smart home device control. With a multi-billion-dollar customer base around the world, Apple uses the HomeKit platform to embed the iPhone and iPad into every user’s home.
Although it takes a long way to realize the smart life of users, although Apple also introduced smart speakers equipped with its own voice technology, this is a complementary product that ensures Siri's voice assistants are used in home applications, in conjunction with the HomeKit ecosystem. For Apple, Siri is not only confined to one or more hardware devices, but to create a ubiquitous Siri artificial intelligence assistant, in order to become the voice that connects people and the door of the machine, and finally control us. One aspect of life - control our home.
Write to the end
In the age of the Internet of Things, voice and image recognition have become human-computer interaction entrances in this era. Human-computer interaction through voice technology, image recognition, etc. not only allows machines to read and understand you, but also to understand our world. Accurately serve people. Among them, Siri Intelligent Voice Assistant is the most important pawn for Apple to deploy artificial intelligence. However, in the eyes of most people, Sir lags behind Amazon Alexa and Google. However, according to Yang Jianyong, we underestimate Apple Siri. Apple’s ambition is to make Siri. Become a ubiquitous artificial intelligence assistant.
In order to improve Siri's voice technology, Apple has also made significant acquisitions of related innovative companies in the field of artificial intelligence, including innovative companies such as VocalIQ, VocallQ, Turi and RealFace. Not only does Apple enhance Siri's interactive capabilities, it even has to understand you. Today, Siri is more intelligent, supports speech in 25 countries, and can also perform simultaneous translations.
