Since Google acquired Nest for US$3.2 billion in 2014, the "Internet of Things" once again heated up the smart home industry. Major technology companies have begun to deploy the Internet of Things field. Smart home, as a sub-field of the Internet of Things, has a better performance protrude. According to a report released by an authoritative research institution, the global smart home equipment and service market will grow rapidly in the future, and the market size will reach 68 billion U.S. dollars by 2018. The huge market pie attracts domestic and foreign giants and innovative startups to enter. , A large number of excellent smart home brands have also risen rapidly. However, the smart home has been shouting for so long, so far it is still only at the concept stage. How to make the smart home land is a "big mountain" faced by every practitioner. At present, many smart home equipment and single products can be said to be profitable. Gimmick", but there is still a long way to go before real interconnection, let alone real intelligent control. So, will the emergence of artificial intelligence break the status quo of the smart home industry? What is artificial intelligence? The term artificial intelligence was first proposed at the Dartmouth Society in 1956. From the definition of the discipline, artificial intelligence (ArTIficial Intelligence) is a new technological science that studies and develops theories, methods, technologies and application systems for simulating, extending and expanding human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science. It attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new kind of intelligent machine that can react in a similar way to human intelligence. The development of artificial intelligence technology can be said to have a long history. However, due to the lack of hardware system capabilities, deviations and algorithm defects on the development road, the development of artificial intelligence technology was once sluggish in the 1980s and 1990s. In recent years, with the promotion of low-cost large-scale parallel computing, big data, deep learning algorithms, and human brain chip technology, the development of artificial intelligence has seen an upward turning point. In 2016, AlphaGo's victory over Go masters made the concept of artificial intelligence a household name. However, there are many so-called "smart" devices or concepts on the market, from smart phones to smart homes, etc., but these "smart" actually means "smart", that is, dexterity; in the true sense of intelligence should be "intelligent" The meaning of is intelligent, intelligent, and comprehensive. The current state of smart homes: pseudo-intelligence With the in-depth development of the Internet and the advent of the Internet of Things era, the smart home industry has also exploded with unprecedented market potential. At the same time, due to the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, the demand for the living environment is also increasing. In such a large environment, smart home The home furnishing industry has become a hot emerging industry. However, although the market situation is obviously favorable, the current smart home is still at the stage of "pseudo-smart". At present, most smart home products have two characteristics: Either they can achieve "single point extreme" on a single smart product. Either add some smart functions to traditional products and call them "smart scenes". The producers of these products devote their energy to fancy functional design and system technology updates. In order to stimulate consumption, some manufacturers have added gimmicks and selling points to product functions and designs, claiming to realize the so-called all-round intelligent control. Pursue flashy functions. In general, the development of the smart home industry has gone through two stages: 1. Networking control, such as smart bulbs, smart sockets, etc.; 2. Home appliance networking, terminals are connected to sensors to trigger the linkage of other devices. Smart homes in these two stages emphasize networking and connection more. They lack an IoT brain and require manual manipulation, which cannot really solve the needs of users, which is the so-called "pseudo-intelligence." The application of artificial intelligence technology will change all of this, making smart home products enter the third stage, from the original passive intelligence to active intelligence, and can even replace people in thinking, decision-making and execution. Artificial intelligence enters the field of smart home Research in the field of artificial intelligence includes robotics, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, and expert systems. More and more companies have begun to try to develop and promote artificial intelligence home products. They have realized that the promotion of artificial intelligence home applications will not only benefit users, but will also be a new opportunity for enterprises and may develop into a new business model. In foreign countries, the first thing to mention for the application of artificial intelligence in the field of smart home should be Amazon's Echo smart speaker. This speaker has a more open strategy for speech recognition and integrates more third-party resources. Its sales are also rising. CIRP data It shows that 4 million units of Echo have been sold so far. Now that Echo is highly sought after in the United States, Amazon wants to replicate it to the European market. In addition, the control center of Google's Google Home home equipment, Zuckerberg's "Jarvis" smart housekeeper, and Microsoft's "XiaoIce" chat robot are all the results of the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of smart homes abroad. . The research on artificial intelligence in my country has not fallen behind, and even has a global trend. Among the home appliance companies, Changhong, Skyworth, Haier, etc. are actively building smart home industries based on artificial intelligence. Among them, Changhong uses an open IoT platform to integrate artificial intelligence technology, security systems, smart services, energy management, CHiQ TVs, and air conditioners. Terminal products such as, refrigerators, etc. are integrated into the real community and home environment, bringing a brand-new "product + service" experience; Skyworth has demonstrated smart home solutions represented by Internet of Things technology and artificial intelligence; TCL is based on different user Content demand, through the deep learning of artificial intelligence and big data analysis, to screen and judge user preferences, so as to make accurate content push. The challenge The combination of artificial intelligence and smart homes contains huge opportunities. However, the current development of artificial intelligence technology itself has mainly achieved breakthroughs in single-point areas. From the perspective of general technology and general platforms, there are still many breakthroughs to be made. 1. Data circulation and collaborative perception need to be improved In the data support link of the infrastructure layer, there is still a lack of data circulation laws, and high-value data is difficult to effectively use; in the perception link, various sensors that mimic the five senses of the human body have mature products, but they lack highly integrated, unified perception and coordination. The central control system cannot perform integrated collection, processing and analysis of multi-source data obtained by each sensor. The future breakthrough point will occur in the software integration link and the brain-like chip link. 2. Strong artificial intelligence has not yet achieved key technological breakthroughs At the technology research and development level, the current progress is at the preliminary stage, and there has not been an obvious breakthrough in the high-level artificial consciousness and emotional perception links. The principle of human brain intelligence has not been studied clearly, and the research of "brain science" is still in the groping stage. The future breakthrough will occur in the field of brain science research. 3. There is a gap between the applicability and autonomy of smart hardware platforms The intelligent hardware platform of the application layer, the intelligence level of the service robot, the perception system and the adaptability to different environments are subject to the primary development level of artificial intelligence. It is difficult to approach the human reasoning learning and analysis ability in the short term, and it is difficult to approach the human judgment. It is difficult to walk or run reliably and economically with the same level of perception, hearing, smell, and touch as humans, and it is difficult to have the executive power of human hands. The future breakthrough point will be in intelligent unmanned equipment. summary According to statistics, China's artificial intelligence market began to show breakthrough development in 2015, and it is expected to reach 36.1 billion yuan by 2018, a growth rate of more than 20%. Smart home is an industry of artificial intelligence application layer. Enterprises deploying smart home should not only pay attention to their own progress, but also make breakthroughs in artificial intelligence technology. At present, China's smart home industry is still in a period of war among countries. Who can lead the technology and open up the market will lay a solid foundation for the development of enterprises in the emerging market of smart home.
