OFweek smart home network news capital is the most sensitive weathervane, artificial intelligence investment companies are also increasing year by year. According to statistics of CB Insights, 61 artificial intelligence enterprises were financed in 2010. By 2016, 522 artificial intelligence startups were getting financing; the investment amount soared from the original 81 million US dollars all the way to 3.12 billion US dollars.
At present, whether it is the needs of consumers or the focus of the capital market, artificial intelligence is gradually becoming the most representative industrial development direction. The smart home market, has entered the Eight Immortals across the sea, all significant magical melee. The arrival of the artificial intelligence wave undoubtedly brings new hope for the smart home industry.
Smart Home Status
Come home from work, or get up in the bathroom in the middle of the night, you are out of the phone to unlock it, click APP to turn on the lights, or just press the switch? Although it is a joke, it is basically clear current status of various smart home products.
The willingness of smart home for us is very good:
When you wake up from your dream in the morning, your favorite music sounds, the curtains slowly open, and the air conditioner automatically adjusts to the proper temperature and humidity;
The bread machine, coffee maker and kettle will start automatically to prepare a delicious breakfast for you;
The dishwasher will clean the pots and pans, and the sweeper will help you clean up the trash;
You are happy to go to work, the door automatically opens and closes, the home's electrical appliances are all turned off, the smart Security system is turned on, and reports to you at any time about the home emergencies; at home, the door locks and lights turn on automatically, TV, air conditioning, Air purifier opens...
However, what is the status quo of the current smart home? The vast majority of smart products in the market still remain in the remote control and timing stages. For example, to turn on the lights, you need to pull out the phone, open the APP, find the light you want to open, and touch to open. Is it really not that convenient? And different brands of smart home products can not control each other, so you have to control the home appliances, but also need to open a different APP ... This is unacceptable to many consumers.
In response, authoritative figures in the industry believe that the current smart home really enters the second phase, which is based on the intelligence of different intelligent single products in the first stage of single product intelligence, but these alone are far from allowing " “Smart home†is truly landing, and we must continue to strive to enter the third stage, which is based on artificial intelligence, big data, etc. to achieve a fully automated, self-learning, self-sensing smart home system.

Artificial intelligence is expected to save the smart home industry
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. On June 5th, Apple held the 28th WWDC Global Developer Conference to launch HomePod and formally announced its entry into the smart speaker market.
Intelligent speakers have intelligent central control and control functions such as smart homes. They provide cloud computing and big data processing capabilities through an open source and open operating system and platform for the Internet of Things, which not only achieves interconnection and interoperability between network devices and network devices, but also uses powerful human faces. Technologies such as recognition, voice interaction, semantic understanding, image recognition, etc. help users adopt more natural and intimate voice commands and gestures to complete the control of smart products, and can also provide users with initiative by perceiving and learning the user's behavior habits and living preferences. The smart home life service realizes the interconnection and seamless connection between people and network devices, network devices and external resources.
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.
The user returned home and the smart speaker said that the family was very hot. In the past, the control method was 'open air conditioning, cooling mode to 23 degrees Celsius', but in fact people and people did not communicate like this, but said 'home is so hot', this At the time, the AI ​​brain will associate all networked devices in the home for comprehensive judgment. Outside the breeze may be slowly, PM2.5 is very low, smart speakers coordinate the open window to blow the natural wind, rather than directly open the air conditioning.
Each networked device will have a machine learning engine, which will provide better services and better decisions through historical data and current data. This is a new opportunity and new scenario for artificial intelligence to bring smart homes. Can help us to achieve a true smart home life.
Artificial intelligence determines the future
The core of smart home is smart. In fact, any product is a balance between cost and effectiveness. TV gives more entertainment, entertainment benefits are large enough, it is popular. The current smart home brings less benefits and high costs, so nobody cares. The key to the high efficiency of smart homes lies in intelligence. Not being able to network, the washing machine controlled by the mobile phone APP is smart. Dirty clothes will be automatically collected, automatically cleaned, automatically dried, and the integrated laundry equipment that automatically puts the clean clothes into the closet is the smart home.
The high price of such a washing machine will also be paid because it changes the way people wash their clothes. Automatic collection of dirty clothes requires computer vision to identify the clothes, know what clothes are, and then know what is dirty clothes. At the same time, precise motion control is required so that the machine can pick up the clothes and put them in the laundry tub. Finally, after drying, find out where the wardrobe is stacked and put in the wardrobe.
The core technology of this device is not the camera, motor, processor, and communication chip, but highly artificial intelligence algorithms, neural networks, deep learning, computer vision, etc.... seemingly simple housework requirements, the level of artificial intelligence needed Alphago beat Ke Jie's artificial intelligence even higher.
Conclusion: Although the combination of smart home and artificial intelligence is still in the early stages of the melee, with the invisible hand of the market, the smart home with high artificial intelligence replacing the human being is the king of the future, facing the smart home in different aspects. The pain points and the needs of the industry's short board, built a multi-scene, multi-terminal intelligent ecological strategy, a more intelligent future or will appear in the near future.
