Deepening AI Layout | Skyworth and Baidu reach strategic cooperation

On March 16th, 2018, an exciting artificial intelligence conference was held in Beijing. Skyworth, the protagonist of the conference, officially announced that it will carry out comprehensive strategic cooperation with Baidu on artificial intelligence. At the same time, it will launch a joint development between the two parties. It will carry the CoocaaOS and DuerOS dual-engine super. AI TV Q5, Q6, Q7 series, another Skyworth, cool open, and other old smart TV equipped with cool open system will also be gradually upgraded to dual intelligent engine this year.

Skyworth and Baidu reached strategic cooperation

Win-win choice

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, color TV industry will gradually get rid of the pure spell, fight the era of color era, into a new 'content is king, intelligent experience' AI era. As the pioneer of color TV industry artificial intelligence, Skyworth actively layout AI , Launched ultra-smart TV equipped with Skyworth's own R&D AI chip, which is in the industry leading level in terms of AI quality, AI voice and AI system.

Skyworth's strategic cooperation with Baidu is a new beginning and an important turning point for Skyworth in deepening its AI strategy. Skyworth's vision is to use AI technology to optimize Skyworth's diversified products and bring users healthier, safer and more convenient. , More comfortable consumer experience.

The strategic cooperation between Skyworth and Baidu is a complementary, innovative and win-win cooperation. Skyworth has self-developed AI chips and smart TVs and other terminal products, while Baidu has a dialogue AI operating system, DuerOS, and a wealth of ecological resources. A perfect match between hardware and software is the perfect combination of products and services.

However, the cooperation between the two parties is not just at the product level, nor is it satisfied with the introduction of several smart TVs, smart speaker products, or several smart services, but they hope to further explore the use of AI in scene-based applications to further promote smart homes. The popularity and landing of concepts.

This time, Skyworth Coolo chose to bring all the resources of DuerOS and Baidu search into Coocaa. Baidu's content ecology is a top priority. Although there are a large number of artificial intelligence voice engine providers in the industry, Skyworth firmly selects cooperation with Baidu. The important reason is the recognition of Baidu's knowledge map. Skyworth believes that the contest of artificial intelligence products in the future is not just a competition of recognition rates, but also a competition of back-end services. With the help of Baidu DuerOS, the content ecology and knowledge maps can To provide a richer user experience for cool open system users, this is what Skyworth Cool Open is most concerned about.

Knowledge map is a series of different graphics showing the relationship between knowledge development process and structure. It uses visual technology to describe knowledge resources and their carriers, to mine, analyze, construct, draw and display knowledge and their interconnections. Knowledge maps Applications cover a wide range of industries. Current industries with high popularity include smart home appliances, healthcare, finance, e-commerce, etc. Closed loops based on information, knowledge and intelligence, knowledge gained from information, intelligent applications based on knowledge, and smart applications The new information, so iterative, can continue to produce a wealth of knowledge maps, as well as more intelligent applications.

With the help of the rich content ecology and knowledge maps of Baidu DuerOS, CoolOpen System can not only enhance the experience of TV users, but also create new advertisements and new marketing modes based on Baidu search and artificial intelligence voice. With TV's voice portal, TV can be solved. Remote controllers use tedious issues to increase the chances of application opening, and the value of traffic is huge. Through the addition of voice search capabilities, you can also improve the experience of using cool open systems, directly increase user payout rate, on-demand rate, and be able to develop more new ones. Form of advertising, realizing traffic.

The advantages of Skyworth in terms of terminals and Baidu's powerful content ecology not only help improve the user experience, but also bring value to both parties and achieve win-win results. In addition, based on the cooperation of both parties, Skyworth can also introduce more 'Smart home entry level' products, through these innovative products to guide users faster to accept the concept of smart home, gave birth to the desire to purchase smart home products, so as to achieve cool open in the smart home ecological chain layout.

Both sides signed an agreement

In-depth exploration of AI's scenario application

This cooperation between Skyworth and Baidu, the artificial intelligence technology innovation and fusion application is one of the biggest bright spots.

DuerOS is a conversational artificial intelligence system that allows users to realize more than 200 functions of 10 categories including audio and video entertainment, information search, living services, and travel conditions in a natural language interactive manner. Meanwhile, with the help of the cloud brain, DuerOS can also continue to learn evolution and become more and more intelligent. DuerOS has been widely used in speakers, TVs, refrigerators, mobile phones, robots, vehicles, wearables, toys and other scenes and equipment. Baidu DuerOS will be with the depth of cool open system. Fusion, to provide users with a better user experience.

Specifically, in terms of face recognition technology, the Coocaaut TV after cooperation between the two parties will identify the user's face in front of the TV. The system will automatically recommend content based on the user's viewing habits to achieve accurate push.

In terms of image recognition technology, the cooperating Coocaasure open system will provide functions such as celebrity facial recognition, use scene recognition, item identification, etc. In conjunction with Baidu's powerful search capabilities, it can provide users with more accurate search content and experience.

The two parties will also cooperate in the introduction of entry-level smart speaker products, will become the smart home control terminal.

With the joint efforts of Skyworth and Baidu, the future of AI's scene-based application will become wider and wider. With the support of AI technology, smart TVs are not only more accurate, more visible, but also interactive and controllable. It can realize full-scene, full-context, full-ecological voice communication and service, and then promote the progress of the entire smart home application.

AI era

This year, artificial intelligence is once again written in the “Government Work Report” to strengthen the development and application of a new generation of artificial intelligence. In the areas of medical care, pensions, education, culture, sports, etc., “Internet+”, “AI” and “Internet+” are promoted. Such as the promotion of traditional industry changes, and promote the digital transformation of the important forces. All manufacturers have stepped up the layout in the AI ​​field.
