Introduction:Smart homes, as one of the main scenarios for smart hardware applications, have gradually expanded in industry scale and experienced rapid growth in hardware shipments in recent years. With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and ultra wideband networks, the smart home industry has ushered in spring. It is worth noting that behind the rapid development of the industry, there are still problems that urgently need to be solved, such as intelligent products fighting independently, product function homogenization, and difficulty in implementing overall solutions for smart homes. By the end of 2016, nearly 3000 smart hardware companies in China had gone bankrupt, and the 'reshuffle' of the smart home industry had arrived. Recently, at the 2017 China Smart Home Expo and Shenzhen (International) Integrated Circuit Technology Innovation and Application Exhibition, hosted by the Shenzhen Investment Promotion Agency, Shenzhen Smart Home Association, and Siruida Media, Cai Jinjiang, Vice President and Secretary General of the Smart Home Association, stated that China's smart hardware industry is currently in a period of deep adjustment. However, after experiencing the development stage of capital outflow and slow growth rate, the speed of enterprise survival of the fittest has accelerated, and the pace of transformation and upgrading has accelerated. It is expected that by the end of this year, the level of technological innovation and industrial integration in the smart home industry will be improved, and the landing application will gradually mature. The industry is expected to achieve recovery in 2018. Transforming whole house scene services "It is estimated that the global smart home market will reach 71 billion dollars in 2018, and the Chinese market will account for 32% by then." Xu He, director of the Shenzhen Investment Promotion Agency, said that the potential of the Chinese market, which exceeds 140 billion yuan, has attracted the attention of Chinese and foreign giants in the fields of Internet, information communication, home appliances, real estate, etc. In the long run, the smart home market is undoubtedly a "blue ocean" of billions of yuan. According to Cai Jinjiang, the development of China's smart home industry has gone through three stages. With the continuous changes in development concepts and technological routes, the image of a real smart home has gradually become clear. The era of Smart Home 1.0 in our country is the era of closed small systems in households, represented by central control; the era of Smart Home 2.0 is the era of open single products, where a good smart product can ignite the market and trigger trends and imitations; now, Smart Home needs to gradually transform into the 3.0 era and build whole house scene services for Smart Home, "said Cai Jinjiang, represented by Haier and MideaIcmarkets automatic billingIcmarkets analysistrong>icmarkets Can you add some points? The smart home appliance enterprise that logs in to icmarkets has already broken away from the traditional thinking of home appliance enterprises and transformed every aspect of life into intelligent scenarios. For example, in the 161 whole house scenarios launched by Haier, home appliances, smart hardware, food delivery, health tracking and other life service needs are even connected to tap into users' potential needs. In short, in a full scenario service, all household appliances, smart hardware, and even furniture together form an intelligent system that can not only complete user command tasks, but also actively recommend services. In the 3.0 stage, the smart home system is upgraded to a "virtual home butler", and the entire home appliance system is combined into a home service robot. The cloud platform becomes the brain of the robot, and the home appliances become the eyes, ears, mouth, and limbs of the robot, interacting with users in various forms. Connect smart devices Currently, the development of the smart home industry is still limited by technological and hardware product innovation, platform operation, service implementation, and user experience improvement. The key to breaking through the deadlock actually lies in deep and cross-border industrial integration and creating an open common ecosystem. "Xu He said that given the rich product fields involved in smart homes, it is necessary to focus on consumers, achieve interconnectivity of smart devices, and create an open, multi protocol compatible, and scenario based service system platform in order to effectively establish the ecological chain of smart homes. At this exhibition, reporters from Economic Daily found that many hardware companies are trying to build integrated smart home solutions. At the booth of Huabai'an Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a split type intelligent building visual intercom system has attracted attention. Huabai An has turned the traditional building intercom visual panel into a tablet computer, which users can not only carry with them, but also connect to other smart devices in the home through the tablet computer, becoming the host for controlling smart homes. Traditional building intercoms can only be implemented in fixed locations, but this split type device can not only enable mobile intercoms to open doors, but also establish connections with other living scenarios, making the functions more extended and connecting intelligent hardware. Chen Shi, Deputy General Manager of Huabai An Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., believes that intelligent hardware manufacturers should establish more connections with intelligent products and home scenarios to create more convenient life scene applications for usersIcmarkets automatic billingAboutIcmarkets analysisIcmarkets loginCan ICMarkets add some points Cai Jinjiang believes that smart homes not only mean innovation in smart home forms and interconnection of products, but also an unprecedented new business model that requires the organic integration of smart hardware, IoT cloud platforms, operators, and other roles to form a complete ecological framework and build reliable underlying infrastructure connections. Integrate product functionality and applications At present, most smart home products rely on mobile app control. But as the number of products increases, APP The increase in quantity will result in a very poor user experience, so a platform level product is needed to integrate the upstream and downstream industry chains, and build smart home scenarios through the standard protocols and interfaces provided by the platform. In short, all smart home devices are integrated into one app, and the integration of applications and functions is necessary to achieve smart living. "But this process will be very long, because no one wants to be integrated." Tang Peng, general manager of Shenzhen Unicom Home Internet Center, said bluntly. In fact, almost all powerful companies in the field of smart homes are building their own product ecosystems nowadays, but their ecosystems are strictly limited to their own products, and they can hardly form connections with other brands, let alone universal services. In view of this, industry insiders believe that telecommunications operators may play a key role in integrating smart home product applications. Firstly, telecom operators have the end-to-end network resources required for smart homes; Secondly, for privacy and data security, telecom operators are more protected by national regulation; Again, operators have a large amount of offline service resources and sufficient operational support. Operators not only have the ability to integrate upstream and downstream industrial chains, but also have the ability to integrate hardware and software. Only after integrating applications can smart homes have the conditions to explore full scenario services. "Tang Peng believes that although the road to integration is long, China's broadcasting and television operators have already elevated smart homes to a strategic level and regarded integrating the industrial chain as an important research project. The home network is the foundation of smart home services. As for China Unicom, a dedicated smart home line will be set up to solve the basic interconnection and intercommunication problems between devices through intelligent gateways. Smart homes will ultimately develop towards product application integration, "said Tang Peng. Top: thirteenStep on: thirty-four thousand four hundred and thirty-five
