The rise of autopilot makes artificial intelligence and deep learning become the hottest words at present, and artificial intelligence and deep learning have led to the rapid development of intelligent voice interaction, and has reached a stage of basic maturity .It is such a pace of development that makes Intelligent Voice Interaction has become the next outlet to be formed in the automotive industry.Recently, the telecomasiatryfeed 2017 conference on the theme of 'Top AI support' was held in Beijing. At this conference on intelligent voice interaction, One of the Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi GS8 equipped with 'Chuanqi Intelligent Voice Control System' debuted its booth and became the highlight of the conference.
From the mobile Internet era to the era of voice interaction
The first computer age, the interaction between man and machine rely on the computer language.After that, the birth of the graphical interface so that the computer began to become from the "professional equipment" can be used by any electronic device.In today's mobile Internet era, human-computer interaction And there's no need to be limited to typing and touching, and the emergence of these voice interaction aides like Apple's Siri, Google's Google Assistant, Microsoft's Cortana and Amazon's Alexa marks the moment we're moving into voice interaction.
In the field of automobiles, this is the trend of the times.The reason why the car has not been able to make significant progress in the entertaining function in the past 100 years of development is that the main reason for all the functions of a car needs to meet the requirements of safety 'The premise of the popular touch interactive mode than the traditional physical buttons and knobs more sense of science and technology, but because of the need for too much line of sight for the driver to operate alone is not very convenient in the L5-class automatic driving really Before liberating the driver, we still need to hold the steering wheel with both hands and use the eyes to observe the road ahead, so listening and speaking are the only things we can do in driving a car to ensure safety How to enable drivers to interact with cars through natural language and make communications with cars as simple as human-to-human communication has become a question that many car companies and technology companies are thinking about.
Intelligent voice interaction makes it easy for people to communicate with each other
In the past, quite a few models were already equipped with 'voice commands'. By pressing the voice control button on the steering wheel, the driver could ask some questions already set or issue commands within a given range, such as' navigation To a certain building 'or' call Pharaoh. 'But such a standard format of human-computer communication, once the wrong word is difficult to be recognized by the on-board computer, so rely on the command to recite the interactive mode can only be Called "voice instruction" instead of "intelligent voice interaction." The biggest difference between the two lies in that the former only confirms the command by the vehicle through voice recognition and the latter through the driver's semantic understanding to clarify the driver's This requires the use of 'natural semantic understanding' technology.
As a technology company specializing in intelligent speech and language technology, IETF Technology Group obviously has a very strong first mover advantage in the field of intelligent voice interaction, especially in the understanding of natural semantics. It has profound experience and technical accumulation as early as 2014 Year and Guangzhou Automobile Group conducted a depth of cooperation and exploration, through technical integration and iteration, Guangzhou Automobile and IFT ushered in this year ushered in a more intelligent, more emotional Chuan Chi intelligent voice control system.
On the powerful intelligent platform independently developed by GAC, with the help of IDET's intelligent voice superiority resources, this Chuanqi intelligent voice control system not only possesses a series of basic functions such as map navigation, communication phone, entertainment music and so on, but also can pass natural language To control the vehicle, active interactive navigation, user manuals, online / local applications Chuan Chi custom features. Drivers can 'too cold', 'too hot' such vague language and Chuanchi smart voice Control system communication, 'Little Qi' will automatically adjust the level of air-conditioning temperature control after analysis and understanding.If the driver said 'Little Qi' 'I am hot, the wind is bigger', 'Little Qi' can also be continuous Make the two actions of turning on the air conditioner and adjusting the air volume without waking up the voice control system every time.
When driving a vehicle into a dark tunnel, if the driver can not find the vehicle headlight switch for a while, you can also say directly to 'Xiao Qi' and 'Please turn on the vehicle headlight'. 'Xiao Qi' can not only control the seat, Car lights, windows, wipers and other up to 36 vehicle functions, it is the world's first intelligent powertrain system to achieve control of the voice system.More importantly, all this communication do not need to press the 'voice command 'Button, you only need to shout out in the car softly:' Hey, Little Qi 'or' Hi, Little Qi 'can activate Chuanqi intelligent voice control system. This is like a way to communicate with human beings, On the true sense of intelligent voice interaction.
Future potential for interactive voice market is endless
In fact, in addition to the domestic market optimistic about intelligent voice interaction, the overseas car manufacturers and technology giants have long been in this area for the layout.Like Toyota CES 2017 released Concept-i concept car is equipped with a Called Yui intelligent voice interactive system.And luxury car brands such as Rolls-Royce, but also because the future of autopilot system may replace the car 'full-time driver', and specifically for the 103EX concept car developed this called 'Voice of Eleanor's intelligent voice interaction system.
In terms of applications, in addition to what we routinely can imagine as a 'navigation' feature, the Intelligent Voice Interactive System will also shine in areas such as payment, social networking, music, etc. In the future, app like WeChat and Taobao may be And will not disappear, but when entering the car, as consumers, we do not have to go to open these App to operate.We can directly let intelligent voice interactive system to help us reply to WeChat, or invite a friend to make a video call. Or you have what you want to buy, but also can make it to buy a single. Intelligent voice interactive system will open up the entire smart car industry chain, unified vehicle system entrance. Not only make it better service For consumers, they can also gain user preferences through communication and exchange, which in turn generates value to these service providers.
Although the current intelligent voice interactive market as a whole is in its infancy, vertical areas such as smart cars are still in the final tranquility before the outbreak, but the future of smart car market prospects are extremely broad.According Analysys Analysys data , Penetration of the Connected Vehicle will exceed 50% by 2023. At the same time, intelligent voice interaction will inevitably replace manual control to become a standard feature for autonomous vehicles. By that time, neither the elderly nor the children Need to worry about driving a car, voice interaction will lead us into a real smart era.
