Artificial intelligence, the future has come. When people in the eighties and nineties of the last century still imagined the intelligent home life, a variety of products that are given wisdom will be a form of time, who can think, only after two or three For ten years, our daily routine has gradually been surrounded by various electrical appliances and applications.
Smart TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, cooker hoods, ovens, speakers, washing machines, sweeping robots, air purifiers... living rooms, kitchens and even balconies. Any family scene you can think of is already connected to mobile phones, voice control, and people. Machine interaction, they are no longer cold and silent machines, become intimate and full of human nature. Today, microwave ovens are also in this camp, but previously limited to mobile phone APP control, the United States kitchen appliances will further sublimation of its intelligent function .
Recently, through the AWE exhibition, Midea’s kitchen appliances introduced the intelligent voice microwave oven “Xiaowei” X3, which is equipped with a fourth-generation intelligent frequency conversion technology, a smart voice chip, a deep neural network (DNN), comprehensive wake-up, human-machine dialogue, and other functions. , With a huge menu, a collection of high-quality resources and technology research and development as a whole, it can be called the industry's first truly intelligent voice microwave oven.
In response to the wave of “voice interaction”, taking advantage of the sweeping winds of intelligence, Midea’s goal is to provide more entertainment and lifestyle services through smart voice kitchen products, and to participate more in the home kitchen living environment. The Internet of Things era as an entrance will create a new business ecosystem model.
A number of technical blessings allow voice intelligence to be truly implemented
The concept of many human-computer interactions in the market today is still limited to the use of a mobile phone for remote control, more like a kind of 'silent communication'. At the AWE site, through the demonstration, the beautiful X3 microwave oven made people see the real Human-computer interaction can not only be 'fool', but also situational dialogue. It can be said that it is the industry's first truly intelligent microwave oven product.
The ability to achieve this magical effect is primarily due to the ChipIntelli&Conexant voice chip it carries, ensuring that the level of human-computer interaction remains at a high level. It is understood that this chip uses a deep neural network (DNN), echo cancellation, noise suppression, Full range of wake-up and other technologies, voice recognition more accurate, accurate recognition even 10 meters away.
And the chip stores 10 categories of menus, 60 gourmet menus and other mass menus. Users simply call out the name of the recipe, microwave ovens can automatically adjust to the menu required mode. The chip comes with intelligent humidity sensor, then It is another technical invention that this microwave oven can cook food. Through the humidity sensing system, the machine automatically adjusts the firepower and time, freeing the user from the complex and professional operation and time setting, allowing him to control the ingredients more easily Wonderful chemical reaction between cooking and cooking.
The smarter point is that the acquisition, calculation and decision of the voice data of the chip are all performed on the microwave oven device, so that it takes only 0.2s~0.8s from the user to say the command to the execution, without waiting, and it starts immediately. At the same time, it can also identify Hundreds of local phonetic entries, which allow the user to find a suitable response in response to a microwave oven's instructions, ensuring that there is no delay in the entire interpersonal communication process and making the situational dialogue more everyday and lifelike. 5. Exchange ideas with a culinary assistant who understands what you think.
In addition, Midea's standard technology in high-end microwave ovens - the fourth generation of variable frequency microblogging technology, allows the microwave efficiency of the X3 microwave oven to be as high as 70%, and supports 'negative thawing', instantaneous firepower 180 watts and 1200 watts free to switch , This microwave oven can effectively complete a variety of complex cuisine cooking. And it is this technology that is widely recognized, a total of 57 patents, including 8 international patents, 25 invention patents, and 24 utility model patents.
Small product big pattern, the United States focus on artificial intelligence ecosystem
In the past, consumers simply used microwave ovens as a convenient and fast heating tool. Nowadays, microwave ovens have evolved into intelligent, fast, intelligent, integrated cooking platforms that meet consumers' demands. The X3 Microwave oven dominates the intelligent voice technology, although It is the light of wisdom that erupted from a small chip. However, it can be seen that the demand for kitchen scenes and people’s expectation for smart homes have made kitchen appliances and even the entire home appliance industry upgrade toward the direction of artificial intelligence. .
At present, the connection between kitchen products and products has been completed by various companies. The most difficult part of the next stage is the connection between people and things. The fundamental solution lies in speech. Because, from the perspective of operational properties, Smart phones, compared with touch control, the more fluent approach is clearly face-to-face communication.
Therefore, the person in charge of the kitchen appliance related products in the United States bluntly stated, 'The most fundamental way to realize the connection between people and products lies in the realization of dialogues, such as the now-automated steam washing range hood, automatic cooking electric oven, intelligent voice microwave oven and even connected kitchen sets. Xiaomei Smart Speakers have achieved the goal of human-computer interaction and dialogue. These are also our main directions for many years now and in the future.
Nowadays, society is moving toward a new generation of 'human interaction', 'mobile Internet', 'big data', and the development of cloud computing. It is constantly energizing all aspects of social life. The future of manufacturing companies must also be the future of human-computer interaction. .
In this regard, the United States has long been based on exploring the best interaction between man-machines in different scenes of life and production. It is committed to creating symbiosis of human-computer interaction with the products of the United States, and an innovative social ecology of organic collaboration. Over the past five years, Midea Group has invested more than 20 billion yuan in scientific research funds. Currently, it has set up artificial intelligence research institutes in Silicon Valley and Shenzhen. In the past two years, it has also acquired “Smart Home + Smart Manufacturing” through the acquisition of KUKA robots. The core dual intelligence strategy.
In the attempt to transform enterprise technology into smart technologies, Midea clearly focused on the smart manufacturing sector, led the large-scale incorporation of the industrial Internet, and led the full-fledged home appliance industry to enter the “new generation of man-machine”. Driven by digitization and artificial intelligence, it is intelligent from single product. From scene intelligence to interactive intelligence, the focus of the United States is no longer the development of smart product functions for a single product, but rather a move towards higher, more comprehensive, intelligent and intelligent chess games, which may give high-end focus to the brand. Upgraded Chinese companies provide a new exploration model.
