At the 2017 Shanghai International Smart Home Exhibition, the audience visited the kitchen safety sensor series products.
On January 9, 2007, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the first-generation iPhone in San Francisco, ushering in the era of the smartphone. 10 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and after experiencing a golden period of rapid growth, China's smartphone market has become saturated. Many people believe that smart home appliances will be the next outlet for the Internet economy after smartphones.
"Pseudo-smart" home appliances are flying all over the sky
Old Chai, who is middle-aged, especially likes to keep small animals. Relatives and friends will also keep their pets here when they go away. However, Lao Chai reluctantly told reporters that it is better not to coexist with cleaning robots and pets. There have been many "tragedies" in which robots sweep the floor and turn into feces smeared on the Internet.
Under the guidance of strong market expectations, a group of products with the name of "smart home appliances" flew into the homes of ordinary people. But what followed was a lot of complaints from users about "pseudo-intelligence": "The smart sweeping robot in my house is frequently stuck, but it is actually a 'mentally retarded' robot." "It is said to be a smart voice TV, but it can only recognize standard Mandarin. The standard instructions, with a little dialect, you can't understand it."
While the intelligentization of home appliances has become a future trend, it has also become a marketing gimmick. This is a trick that almost all emerging commercial technologies have to use before they are implemented. Add a touch screen to the range hood and install an Android system, which can be switched on and off with the mobile phone client. It is called smart and sold at a high price.
Consumers are not fools. This kind of "pseudo-intelligence" cannot impress users, and it will ultimately hurt the reputation and consumer confidence of the entire smart home industry. At present, the tepid market of smart home appliances is a proof. If we put aside gimmick marketing, how far is the real smart life from us?
Smart is not remote control
At present, the mature smart home mode on the market is essentially the "all-in-one" and remote control of the remote control of home appliances. Connect refrigerators, air conditioners, lighting, televisions and other appliances to the Internet, and unify their control to the smartphone client, so that even when you are away, you can use your smartphone to control the home appliances.
According to industry insiders, there are still many problems in the current smart home model.
The first is the confusion of protocol standards, which leads to the fragmentation of user experience. According to user feedback, whether it is a smart home appliance, a smart light bulb, or a smart switch, it needs to be controlled by the mobile phone client. If you accidentally buy smart home appliances with 5 different protocols, you will need 5 more softwares in your phone. Users said that if each control needs to wait for login, it is more convenient to get up and use the traditional remote control directly. If smart home appliances are just ordinary home appliances that can be remotely controlled by mobile phones, the original meaning of smart home will be lost.
Furthermore, even if you purchase smart home appliances with the same protocol and operating on the same platform, the realization of the intelligent scene needs to be manually set up in advance, rather than "wisdom (the wisdom of the machine) superior to others". In order to realize that when you wake up at 6:30 every morning, the lights are automatically turned on, the soy milk has just been cooked, and the stereo starts to play your favorite music, the user must configure the mobile client in advance, so that each appliance will execute the following when "triggering this scene": operate".
This is obviously far from the intelligent life we ​​imagine. This is at best a once-and-for-all automation, but not an understanding intelligence.
Voice interaction leads the future
The updated smart home mode should be intelligent control based on voice recognition interaction. Through accurate recognition of the user's natural language, the intelligent controller will control the operation of various electrical appliances and the opening and closing of curtains, lamps and door locks, just like the intelligent housekeeper "Jarvis" in "Iron Man".
At present, Amazon's Echo (Echo) smart speaker and Google's Google Home (Google Home) smart speaker have initially had such a function, but these two products have not yet supported the Chinese language. At present, there are some imitations in China, such as Jingdong's "Dingdong" and Ali's "Tmall Genie", but the maturity and user experience are not satisfactory. This awkward scene is related to the complexity of the Chinese language system and the language processing level of the machine.
Although the current Chinese speech recognition technology is quite mature, with a recognition rate of 95%, there is still a long way to go from "recognition" to "understanding" and "interaction". With the rapid development of the Chinese voice interactive artificial intelligence platform represented by iFLYTEK, it is believed that a truly "obedient" smart home will appear in the Chinese market in the near future.
People hope that the home appliances in the future can be smarter and more "understand you". This requires home appliance manufacturers to have more practical functions and less gimmicks. Only with advanced and solid technology and a good user experience can smart homes have a place in the increasingly competitive market competition.
