Haier Zhijia and Microsoft China and other industry units and enterprises jointly compiled and released the first domestic smart home field “Family Brain White Paper” (hereinafter referred to as “White Paper”). Faced with the accelerated development of the smart home industry and the continuous warming of ecological construction, the “White Paper” combined the advantages of the participating units in various fields, reorganized the development of the smart home industry, gained insight into the constantly iterative industry and new needs of users, and summarized new The appearance of a generation of smart families, and for the first time proposed the family brain technology architecture, as well as suggestions for the construction of interconnection scene capabilities, and then scientifically and effectively guide the future smart home capacity building. The “White Paper” also calls on more manufacturers, developers, and entrepreneurs to participate and jointly build a full-scenario smart home development ecosystem.
Ma Yue, vice president of Microsoft Greater China and general manager of the Solution Business Unit, said: “The development of the smart home industry is constantly upgrading, and it is actively bringing a more understanding user’s life experience with a more advanced and three-dimensional interactive mode. It is a great honor to cooperate with Haier Smart We hope that Microsoft’s technology, platform, and experience can widely serve the digital transformation of China’s smart home industry, so that more families can enjoy a healthy, safe, comfortable, convenient, and low-carbon living environment. “
Deng Qiuwei, vice president of Haier Smart Home and general manager of Whole House Smart, said: “The preparation of this “White Paper” aims to jointly initiate the definition of the future home brain and explore and plan the technical framework by joining hands with outstanding upstream and downstream enterprises in the smart home field. The development path and full-scenario capability building allow practitioners to clearly grasp the industry’s development trend, clarify the company’s positioning, achieve ecological co-creation and win-win results, and attract more companies to join in, and promote the rapid, healthy and orderly development of the industry.”
Six major abilities to build the overall structure of the family brain
Today, China’s smart home industry is ushering in a new round of development cycle, but there are still a series of problems such as inconsistent technical standards, information security threats, and market fragmentation. Based on this, the “White Paper” proposes the overall framework of the home brain, including intelligent connection, intelligent perception, intelligent decision-making, intelligent interaction, intelligent ecology, and data security, to provide technical guidance for ecological upstream and downstream enterprises.
Intelligent connection is the basis for realizing the home brain. The “White Paper” recommends building a heterogeneous connection home network, building massive connections, network self-repair mechanism, self-distribution network and network synchronization mechanism, cloud-edge-device collaboration mechanism, etc., to achieve collaborative intelligence; as The premise of intelligent decision-making, intelligent perception connects interactive data through the combination of software and hardware, establishes a whole-house perception data model, forms a smart home perception ability to understand users, and provides support for scene integration; intelligent interaction is the connection point between the physical world and the digital world. Convergence and reorganization in the family brain through intelligent algorithms realize the interaction between people and things, and between things and things, and provide users with continuous interactive services.
Aiming at the industry problems of difficult to understand user intentions and low levels of intelligent services in the smart home field, industry experts proposed the SCoDEL theory for smart homes, which simulates brain perception (Sensing), cognition (Cognition), decision-making (Decision), execution ( Execution) and feedback self-learning (Learning) process, focusing on breakthroughs in key technologies such as knowledge representation, knowledge cognition and reasoning, and intelligent decision-making for the whole domain of life, and building a knowledge-covering, highly personalized, and interpretable Intelligent decision system. Data security is related to every family. The “White Paper” proposes that the family brain needs to formulate a comprehensive security organization and internal and external security compliance system strategies, including equipment security, communication security, border security, business security, data security, application security, edge security, etc. comprehensive protection and control.
Four scenes unlock more smart life
With the rapid development of the smart home industry, what users want is no longer simple remote control, nor is it an unchanging fixed scene, but expects to be provided with the services they need at any time – the “White Paper” expounds that users have ” In addition to the expectations of “home”, it also extends to multiple scenarios such as smart travel, smart communities, and green cities.
In the whole-house intelligent scene, the home brain is more and more understanding of user needs, and can autonomously perceive the user’s environmental elements and actively control the equipment in the scene to serve users. For example, in the bedroom, the home brain actively detects the air condition and adjusts the indoor temperature, humidity, and light. to the most comfortable state; the user’s travel will also be more comfortable and convenient, and “control the car at home, control the home in the car” can be realized. Buy missing ingredients at one time on the way home; in the smart community scenario, the family brain connects home life and community multi-dimensional services, such as cloud information exchange with the community medical system, users can conduct cloud consultations at home, enjoy drug delivery and door-to-door services; Everyone is responsible, and the construction of a green city requires the participation of every family. The home brain can automatically monitor the waste behavior of unused people, and intelligently adjust the power consumption mode of household appliances according to the actual needs of users, improve the efficiency of energy use in life, and effectively implement the “double carbon” goal.
In fact, many technical practices and application scenarios mentioned in the “White Paper” have been gradually realized through the cooperation between Microsoft and Haier Smart Home: as the world’s leading cloud service and computer technology provider, Microsoft relies on its own cloud computing, Decades of hard work in smart technology, IoT technology and other fields are helping Haier Zhijia’s Triwing Bird to realize more active, intelligent and in-depth interactions in multiple scenarios such as “light, water, air, and kitchen” .
The release of the “White Paper” will not only provide infrastructure guidance and direction guidance for enterprises, but will also further help upstream and downstream enterprises in the field of smart homes to size up the situation and grasp the future development of the industry—for future development trends of products, enterprises should do more Pay attention to the value of metaverse to interactive experience, and suggest that at the technical level, build a family brain technology base around the actual business strategy, and pay attention to the core dependence of each business stage on technology. Finally, the “White Paper” will also promote the industry to continuously strengthen the construction of standards, guide the interconnection of smart home protocols, and integrate the family brain into every living space of the home.
