OFweek smart home network news In this year's CESAsia, smart home is still a hot topic, hot scenes easily overlook a big background: smart home industry in the past three years has just gone through a "Death Valley" period, a large number of companies Into the bubble is serious, the market "applauds", investment tends to be cautious.
The veteran home appliance company is still promoting home products, starting from the bottom chip, module to the operating system to build a set of smart home scenes. Start-up companies or terminal-oriented, launched a variety of smart products, or the main underlying technology, providing smart home solutions.
AI landing scene
CEO of BroadLink Hangzhou Gubei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. Liu Zongxi felt the same chill. In the previous rounds of financing, the company was highly favored by capital, and capital promoted the company's round of financing. From the second half of 2015, the industry's "bad news" continued to burst, and the words "closing tide" and "bubble" frequently appeared in the smart hardware and smart home industries. Until June 2016, BroadLink officially announced that it received 70 million C round of financing.
After experiencing parabolic development in the industry, Liu Zongxi rethought again on what kind of smart home users really need. “The previous smart home was a toy, and the intelligence was not involved, and controlling the home was always just the icing on the cake and it didn’t have too much impact on life. It was difficult to be a product that users felt must be needed.†Liu Zongxi was on the stage of a singularity. In an interview with the First Financial Reporter, he said.
The arrival of the artificial intelligence wave has undoubtedly brought new hope to the smart home industry. Smart speakers have become the most typical case. Since Amazon launched the smart speaker Echo in November 2014, it has been only two and a half years ago and has achieved tens of millions of sales. Alexa has also become the connecting hub for connecting many applications. Recently, Apple launched HomePod at the developer conference and officially announced its entry into the smart speaker market.
The smart speaker itself is not the purpose. The giants compete for the data, user and service entrance. The speaker can undertake other functional carriers in addition to the interaction.
"Users return home and smart speakers say that the family is very hot. In the past, the control method was 'open air conditioning, cooling mode to 23 degrees Celsius', but in fact people and people do not communicate this way, but that 'home how so hot', At this point the AI ​​brain will be associated with all the networking equipment in the home, for comprehensive judgment. Maybe the breeze slowly outside, PM2.5 is very low, the smart speaker coordinating to open the window to blow the natural wind, rather than directly open the air conditioning." Liu Zongxi, for example.
Each networked device will have a machine learning engine. Through historical data and current data, it will provide better services for people and make better decisions. This is a new opportunity and new scenario for artificial intelligence brought to smart homes by Liu Zongxi. .
Going out to ask CEO Li Zhifei also expressed the same view, “In the end if we say that we have to be able to exert influence on consumers through artificial intelligence or voice interaction, or can you help consumers solve some practical problems?â€
Finding a breakthrough
In addition to the inaccurate user needs and the “featurelessness†of intelligent functions, the technology disputes in the smart home industry have come a long way, and communication protocols are difficult to unify, which also makes the current smart home industry appear fragmented. “A company is very difficult to promote the development of the industry, we also need to wait for the maturity of industry partners. If smart home without a mature ecological chain, its playability, practicality will not be enough. Once it involves ecology, it is more complicated "Jiang Jungang, founder and president of Nanjing Wulian Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. said.
Liu Zongxi believes that there are two main reasons for the difficulty in the interconnection of smart home products. "One is that the industry itself involves a lot of product lines, and there are many manufacturers' designs. The manufacturers' capabilities are uneven. It is difficult for the second industry to have standards. In the industry, CNC is a treasure for every household appliance company. Once a night, electricity, frequency conversion and so on are all achieved through electronic control logic. How to standardize it will not be disclosed to third parties for the company.â€
With the application of artificial intelligence technology in home products, artificial intelligence has evolved to become the control center of smart homes, connecting scattered individual smart goods, and at the same time, the demand for artificial intelligence industry has accelerated the development of Internet of Things technology.
Gubei Electronics is making a corresponding layout. Apart from the C-sector business division, the company has introduced smart speakers, smart sockets and other single items and suits, and also hopes to connect different brands through the provision of intelligent integrated solutions as a third party. Company, to achieve interconnection.
Companies including China Mobile Internet of Things are also accessing the network from the bottom chip, module, and network layer, and launch the OneNET IoT open platform to provide various sensor protocols such as protocol adaptation, fast access, and data storage analysis. , Connecting smart homes, wearable devices and other products to a unified open platform and doing interoperability of the Internet of Things.
“From a real estate point of view, smart homes cover pre-sales infrastructure and equipment, as well as the entire process of sales equipment and after-sales maintenance.†Zhang Jing, general manager of Jingdong’s intelligent Internet of Things business unit, said, “Smart Home is a systematic project. Systematic refers to the fact that many products are linked in one system. So-called engineering means that smart home is a long period.
After the ups and downs of the turbulent smart homes, participants became more aware that if smart speakers or other home appliance items cannot form the ecological closed loop of products, applications and data, the entrance goal of smart homes is difficult to achieve.
The D-subminiature or D-sub is a common type of electrical connector. They are named for their characteristic D-shaped metal shield. When they were introduced, D-subs were among the smallest connectors used on computer systems.
A D-sub contains two or more parallel rows of pins or sockets usually surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield that provides mechanical support, ensures correct orientation, and may screen against electromagnetic interference. The part containing pin contacts is called the male connector or plug, while that containing socket contacts is called the female connector or socket. The socket's shield fits tightly inside the plug's shield. Panel mounted connectors usually have threaded nuts that accept screws on the cable end connector cover that are used for locking the connectors together and offering mechanical strain relief. Occasionally the nuts may be found on a cable end connector if it is expected to connect to another cable end. When screened cables are used, the shields are connected to the overall screens of the cables. This creates an electrically continuous screen covering the whole cable and connector system.
