Haiermei teamed up with Baidu DuerOS to push "talking appliances" | AWE 2017

In order to speed up Baidu's artificial intelligence strategy deployment and artificial intelligence productization and marketization process, just three weeks ago, Baidu Group President and COO Lu Qi issued a notice, announcing that the original Dali team was upgraded to the Dali Department and reported directly to it. This was one of the big news in the technology circle at the time.

One month has not yet arrived, the Department of Secret Business has a big move. At the just-launched AWE 2017 China Home Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo, Dali announced a strategic cooperation agreement with Haier and Midea’s two home appliance giants and launched a series of smart home products. At the time when the Department was established, Lu Qi stated: “With the advantages of voice and dialogue technology, Baidu has a huge opportunity to lead a new generation of human-computer interaction platforms. Natural language and other intelligent interaction methods may appear in From the mobile phone to every device in the home, this time, cooperation with the two giants is an important signal for the distribution of DSM in the field of smart homes, and it is also one of the two important signs for the development of “intelligent” by home appliance giants. .

Haier: Talking refrigerator

In cooperation with Haier, Haier reached a strategic cooperation with Dudu OS, which added the DuerOS interactive artificial intelligence operating system to Haier's product line, and announced the first refrigerator equipped with DuerOS. Series refrigerators.

At the scene, the series of refrigerators exhibited at the AWE Haier booth are mostly equipped with a computer monitor-sized touch screen, allowing users to operate the refrigerator through the screen.

The function of the refrigerator also has a high "smart" property. For example, the refrigerator is equipped with an image recognition function to identify the ingredients in the refrigerator, and can be displayed on the touch screen so that the user can see at a glance, and the refrigerator will also store the ingredients for the user. Record, understand the user's eating habits, provide users with some dietary advice.

In addition to these, the refrigerator itself also adds some entertainment needs, such as listening to music, watching videos, etc.. For these needs is necessary, Haier's explanation is that "cooking is mostly a boring thing, many people When cooking, a mobile device such as an iPad is placed in the kitchen to relieve boredom. The positioning of these refrigerators is the "Smart Kitchen Interconnection Center." In the kitchen, users can solve this pain point through the refrigerator."

The cooperation with Duodui solved the problem of voice interaction for these refrigerators.

According to the introduction, after using DuerOS, users can use voice to communicate directly with the refrigerator. The function control of the refrigerator itself can be achieved. For example, if the user wants to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator, he can directly say “Reduce the temperature of the refrigerator compartment” to the refrigerator. When the cooking needs entertainment function, if the hands are free, they can directly The refrigerator said "Can you put a piece of music for me?" In addition, you can also use refrigerators to connect to other refrigerators, such as querying recipes, and asking the refrigerator directly how to make "Kung Pao chickens." Words are much faster to query. These features include, but are not limited to, voice search, diet recommendations, reminder notes, and more.

However, powerful, it also means high prices, this series of refrigerators will be listed after the listing price to 10,000 yuan level, whether these additional features will impress users to pay for them before they can wait until the market to know.

Beautiful: Smart Voice Box

"America's got stuck with the robot."

This was a spectator at the signing ceremony and new product launching ceremony of AWE with Baidu in the United States and Baidu. The opposite of the booth at the conference was the kuka that was recently acquired by the United States. The other sentence was even more meaningful. After the acquisition of KUKA, the acquisition of Servotronix, Israel's motion control system solution provider, was very obvious in the layout of robots. However, in addition to the layout of these industrial and professional robot hardware, the beauty of home appliances started to want their own time. Home appliances become "robots."

First of all, Midea introduced their “Smart Home Technology Co., Ltd.,” which is the layout of the Smart Home Research Institute in the former US, and then introduced the M-Smart open platform for smart living. Subsequently, the "Smart Voice Box" created by Midea and Deep Secret was released.

At the moment when Amazon Echo swept the world, voice boxes that can manage daily affairs became the first choice for smart home center control. The newly released voice box of Midea is equipped with the DuerOS voice system of Baidu Duo Mi. It was learned at the scene that the function of this voice box is mainly three blocks:

The first is entertainment, the voice box uses Baidu voice recognition technology, access to a number of third-party resources, such as the Himalayas, lazy people listening to music, microphone music, etc., content is sufficient and informative. And the United States and Baidu degree secret depth cooperation, in the voice box added a taxi, take away and other LBS business.

The second is voice operation. When it is used, long press the voice key to speak the relevant command to the voice box and the voice box can perform related operations. For example, ask the voice box "how the weather", "play XXX music" and so on.

Thirdly, under the smart home appliance management model, the smart voice box has become the “home appliance voice management hub”. Users can use smart voice boxes to control the smart home appliances, smart home packages, etc. in the home in the form of dialogues. Interact with it. At the scene, Li Qiang, the general manager of Midea Smart Home Technology Co., Ltd., stated that in the future, this voice box can control all beautiful smart home appliances and smart home appliances.

In addition, the voice box also includes functions such as “remote QQ message” and “mobile phone Bluetooth connection to play music”.

From this point of view, voice interaction has become one of the core elements of Smart Home's layout in the future.

A new generation of operating systems

In the post-meeting interview, Jing Wei, general manager of the Department of Mystery, and Zhu Kaihua, CTO of the CTO, all unanimously stated that from the perspective of the development of science and technology, the first generation of operating systems was mainly based on mouse and keyboard interactions, with Windows as the representative, and the second generation. The operating system is mainly based on finger touch interactions, represented by Android and iOS. Next, the third generation operating system uses natural language for human-computer interaction, which is what we usually call the concept of "Conversational OS."

What the Department of Secret Affairs does is to build DuerOS into a mature third-generation operating system. In order to bring artificial intelligence systems into the real world, smart homes are undoubtedly a very suitable field. After all, this area is People's lives are closely related. This "reducing troubles in life" technology is also easier for people to accept. The degree of strategic cooperation between the Secretary-General and the two large home appliance giants is surely the same. Cooperating with two major home appliances giants may be just a beginning. Baidu’s newly-developed Secret Business Unit will also be able to move closer to the “mature third-generation operating system” in the future.
