No. 277 Smart Home

The 277th smart home

Wei Dongsheng did not personally elaborate on the revolutionary innovation of Sapientia_4, and turned to give the focus to Jiang Hongxing, CEO of Zhiyu Technology: "Now I have to ask Jiang Hongxing to explain to you what a smart phone is." ”

Jiang Hongxing walked slowly to the front desk of the press conference: "As Mr. Wei Dongsheng said, the biggest feature of smart phones is wisdom. ”

"But what is wisdom?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hongxing greatly lowered everyone's expectations: "Wisdom is a mysterious concept, and it is difficult to have a unified standard. Who is more intelligent than apes or Siberian tigers? Who is wiser than me or Wei Dongsheng? Who is wiser than your wife or husband? The standard of wisdom varies depending on the object of comparison. Today, we don't talk about the true wisdom of philosophical concepts, and smart phones are not wiser than human beings. The 'wisdom' of smart phones is relative to smartphones and other electronic devices in the world. ”

"What smartphones can't do, but what smartphones can do, is wisdom."

"Let's take a look at what smartphones can do but smartphones can't."

A Sapientia_2 picture flashed on the background screen, and Jiang Hongxing talked eloquently: "At the beginning of 2008, the major version of Spring and Autumn Translation was updated, and _2 integrated the voice recognition control function, and the voice assistant 'Xiaozhi' was launched. In 2008, the voice assistant Ash was impressive, allowing you to read text messages, announce weather forecasts, set alarms, open specific apps, and more. Today, its flaws are also very obvious, first, its speech recognition ability is limited, and the error rate is very high; Second, it is not intelligent enough, it does not understand more complex sounds, and it often makes jokes. ”

"Of course, no matter how flawed it is, Xiaozhi is also the world's first-class voice recognition control system."

"Compared to Ash, Google's hasty introduction of the voice control feature on Android is a joke within a joke. Apple's Steve Jobs has been sour for two years, and recently heard that he is preparing to buy a third-party app, Siri, and perhaps also to develop voice recognition controls. Well, hehe, I sincerely wish Apple the new model that will be released this summer, which will be loaded with Siri that will surpass the level of the first version of Ash in 2008. No matter how lacking Ash is, he can be one to two years ahead of his friends. ”

"With the continuous development of voice recognition technology, Xiaozhi is becoming more and more mature, and it is becoming more and more worthy of the name of voice control assistant."

"Sapientia_4 version of Xiaozhi, in addition to the steady advancement of basic technology, we have added voiceprint recognition technology. The production of human speech is a complex physiological and physical process, and organs such as the nasal cavity, tongue, teeth, larynx, and lungs, of different sizes and different forms, will show differences in the voiceprint spectrum. To put it simply, the new version of Ash is capable of directional recognition of sound sources and is able to recognize user voice commands in the background of noisy sounds. Let me show you how. ”

The background screen is linked with the testing machine in his hand, and Jiang Hongxing talks eloquently: "With voiceprint recognition technology, we can operate more conveniently. First of all, let's turn on the power supply first. After starting the power, the voice recognition control module is powered on, and we can unlock it with voice control. Passcode: 2468......"

As soon as Jiang Hongxing's voice fell, the Sapientia_4 screen had been unlocked.

Jiang Hongxing raised the testing machine: "In addition to the existing digital unlocking and graphic unlocking, now we have a new unlocking method: voice unlocking. What's more, my phone only recognizes my voice. ”

Jiang Hongxing randomly selected a lucky female audience member and handed him the lock screen phone: "Come, you try voice unlocking." ”

The female audience suddenly walked onto the stage, so emotional that they were a little stage frightened: "What did I say? ”

Jiang Hongxing: "Have you ever used a Zhiyu mobile phone before?" ”

Female audience: "Of course I have used it, I am a die-hard fan of Zhiyu, S1, S2, S3, must be bought in every generation." ”

The pronunciation of the word Sapientia is more complicated, and the Chinese name Zhizhi is repeated with the big concept of smart phones, so many users gradually simplify Sapientia to S, Sapientia_3G S1, Sapientia_4 S4, and so on.

Jiang Hongxing continued to communicate with the female audience: "Have you tried the voice control function?" ”

The female audience gradually relaxed, laughing and saying, "I use it every day." Speaking of which, the alarm clock feature is really love-hate and hate-hateful. I didn't want to get up in bed in the morning, so I shouted 'Ash, turn off the alarm clock', and the noisy ringtone ended immediately, which was like a fairy enjoyment. But the problem also comes, with Ash here, the alarm clock can't wake me up at all......"

Jiang Hongxing said with a smile: "We have noticed such a problem, and it just so happens that Sapientia_4 has come up with a solution." ”

The female audience was surprised: "Really? ”

Jiang Hongxing continued his display: "Alarm clock problem, let's test it later." For now, let's prioritize testing voiceprint recognition. The operation method of the voice control function is the same as before, come, try voice unlocking. ”

Female viewers habitually put the mobile phone microphone close to their mouths, imitating Jiang Hongxing's voice control keywords: "Password: 2468." ”

Sapientia_4 nothing happens on the phone screen.

The female audience shouted twice, but there was still no response Sapientia_4 the screen of the mobile phone.

Jiang Hongxing approached to a meter away from the female audience: "I'll speak." Passcode: 2468. ”

Sapientia_4 phone screen should be unlocked at the right time.

Jiang Hongxing explained in real time: "With voiceprint recognition technology, it is not only more convenient, but also safer. We provide a variety of lock screen password options, if you disable digital unlock and graphic unlock and only use voiceprint unlock, even if someone steals your password, he will not be able to unlock the phone. ”

Jiang Hongxing walked through the process to demonstrate the voice recognition performance in the background of noisy rock music, and the focus returned to voiceprint recognition: "Some lovers, couples, girlfriends, and brothers may need to share a mobile phone. If background analysis is ignored, it allows a low threshold to recognize phone calls and even audio clip voice commands, which is too poor. If it is completely banned, it has the meaning of forcing everyone. With this in mind, we allow a single phone to correspond to up to five voiceprint features. If you confirm to add the voiceprint characteristics of your object, parents, and children, they will also be able to control your phone with their voice. ”

"There is also the complex psychology of 'I want to turn off the alarm clock, but I don't want to turn off the alarm clock', which belongs to different users with different needs. Therefore, Zhiyu decided to open more permissions to users, allowing users to freely modify voice control command features within a certain range to show their own unique style, which is Sapientia_4 new 'voice control editing' function. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Hongxing's words changed sharply: "The voice control function is becoming more and more perfect, but we are also becoming more and more aware of its limitations. Language is the way humans communicate, but it is not the only way for humans to communicate. Speech alone can't achieve wisdom, so we have added another pair of eyes to Sapientia_4. ”

"Sapientia_3 main camera with 3 million pixels, _4 greatly improves the performance of the camera, in addition to realizing the user's demand for mobile phone shooting, but also wants to make the camera the eyes of the Sapientia_4."

Jiang Hongxing inserted the test machine into the oblique corner of the platform of the press conference, started the camera mode, and the background screen linked with the Sapientia_4 appeared in real time The image of Jiang Hongxing in the photo mode appeared. Jiang Hongxing walked to the booth of the press conference empty-handed, pointed to the real-time shooting image of the background screen, and said: "When we take pictures with our mobile phones, we often worry that the distance is not suitable. For example, now that I'm five meters away from my phone, how can I shoot with my phone? ”

"Sapientia_4's voice control function can provide some convenience."

"Ash, activate the photo assist function."

"Pay attention to the Ash image sign in the upper left corner, such a sign indicates that the camera system has been taken over by Ash."

"Sapientia_4 can understand not only what you're saying, but also what you're doing. Lo and behold, I simply raised my hand and said to Ash, 'Ash, focus here. Lo and behold, Ash automatically recognized my hand movements, and the AF point moved from my face to my hand. Let's say to Ash again: 'Ash, countdown to shooting'. Lo and behold, a countdown number appears in the center of the screen, 3, 2, 1, okay, a picture is complete. ”

"Sapientia_2, let the smart phone have ears; Sapientia_4, let the smart phone have eyes. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"When Google Android was still struggling with voice control, and when Apple iOS was still trying to buy Siri, Sapientia_4 already had ears and eyes. Having said that, Ash has matured to this point, if it is only limited to a small mobile phone, do you think it is a bit of a waste of its talent? ”

Therefore, Zhiyu Group has extended the concept of smart phones to the concept of smart home, adding intelligent control chips from the same source as voice recognition control systems to desktop computers, laptops, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, televisions, lights and other household appliances. The smart home envisioned by Zhiyu does not need all switch entities, and the user can control the lights to turn off with a simple wave of his hand; If you want to watch a certain TV series, the user will automatically adjust the TV station in a word; As for starting the air conditioner in advance to adjust to the optimal indoor temperature before going home, such a small thing is even simpler. ”

"Smart home is the direction of Zhiyu Group's work, and we are the Sapientia_4 press conference, so we won't help them be verbose."

"Intelligent control systems can do a lot of things, and the number of potential application scenarios is innumerable."

"But no matter how much I stand here and say more, it's hard to impress everyone. The reason is very simple, these intelligent control scenes are all clichΓ©s, and they were portrayed as rotten streets by science fiction thirty or forty years ago. Moreover, these conveniences are like changing a manual toothbrush to an electric toothbrush, which is good to have, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it, and you lack a desire to change the status quo. In the specific practice process, those smart appliances with the name of intelligence are not as convenient to use as imagined, but often have other troubles on the side. ”

"Wisdom is an emotional evaluation, and without a suitable comparison, it is difficult to say who is good and who is bad."

"In these insignificant scenarios, why do we make everyone trust Zhiyu's intelligent control system to be completely different from other peers?"
