Mr. Ge Hantao showed through in-depth research that the current smart speaker market is seriously bubbled, and the industry reshuffle has begun.

2018 China market smart speaker industry map, this map allows 80% of the guests present to raise the phone record.

After introducing the market and ecological environment of smart speakers, the problems and dilemmas facing the field of smart speakers, Mr. Ge Hantao indicated that this is the reason why we have to produce an authoritative report on the performance and safety of the speakers.

Finally, Mr. Ge Hantao also made predictions on the future technology and application trends of smart speakers. The production of intelligent speakers will tend to cost sales, tend to be pipelined, and will cover more scenarios. The development of artificial intelligence technology will help the user experience to improve continuously. After that, it will be replaced by a more flexible and mobile service robot; the product form is constantly innovated to meet the needs of different scenes, and the product functions are continuously integrated, eventually becoming the smart home entrance.

At this point, Dr. Fu Rongrong, deputy director of the Intelligent Terminal Product Evaluation Department of the Tel-Terminal Laboratory of China Information and Communication Research Institute, brought us the "AI Smart Speaker Industry Performance Evaluation and Interpretation".

Dr. Fu Rongrong, Deputy Director of the Intelligent Terminal Product Evaluation Department of Taier Terminal Laboratory of China Information and Communication Research Institute, the main business direction is the research on user experience evaluation technology of intelligent terminal products.

Dr. Fu Rongrong shared with us the work research results of the intelligent speaker AI interaction performance evaluation. From the development status, evaluation content, overall situation, outstanding problems, domestic development trends, advancement of the six dimensions of the introduction for us.

In 2017, the sales volume of China's smart speakers exceeded 200 million, with a growth rate of 47.8%. It is estimated that by 2020, the sales volume of smart speakers will exceed 1 billion yuan.

Tell Labs has purchased 9 popular smart speaker products on the market for fair testing, from a user experience perspective, multi-dimensional, stereo evaluation, 58 test indicators, tens of thousands of test data, continuous evaluation of standard issues and evaluation issues. In-depth research, and finally proposed the AI ​​smart speaker industry performance evaluation system and standard system.

The evaluation indicators are around the four major directions, and the smart speakers are tested in all directions. Voice wake-up (29 test indicators) User intent recognition (14 test indicators) Chinese speech recognition (12 test indicators) Audio quality (3 test indicators)

The total evaluation rankings are divided into A list (comprehensive evaluation) and B list (price ratio) respectively.

Which A list (comprehensive evaluation) Ranking order: Xiaoya AI speaker Ruqi Yueshi AI speaker small at home Tmall Elf X1 go out to ask

B list (price ratio) Rank order is: Tmall Elf X1 small degree at home Xiaomi small love Lenovo AI speaker

From the evaluation results, I love the audio network to understand that the smart speakers now reflect a lot of problems, and need industry colleagues to promote the sound development of the industry. Among the prominent problems are: low noise rate under the external noise scene, male and female voice Identify differences, wake up from noise, low far field response rate, large difference in user intent recognition ability, lack of multi-round dialogue ability.

The first authoritative evaluation report for AI smart speakers in China, the content and results of this report will be distributed to consumers in batches.

In the final stage of sharing, Dr. Fu Rongrong also put forward suggestions for the future development of AI smart speaker products and industry development: Formulate standards or policies, promote industry development, establish an intelligent voice interactive detection system, strengthen smart home promotion, and cultivate user habits.

This authoritative evaluation report has made objective and fair suggestions for everyone to purchase AI smart speakers, and made professional analysis for market development and product development. Follow-up will also be directed to multi-round dialogue of smart speakers, speech synthesis defect degree, voiceprint recognition. And other modules to expand the depth assessment. I love the audio network will continue to follow up, I will share the details of this evaluation report later.

Dr. Liu Tao, Senior Engineer of China Information and Communication Research Institute, introduced the "AI Intelligent Speaker Information Security Risk and Evaluation Interpretation"

Dr. Liu Tao, Senior Engineer, CISSP, is currently working at the Tel-Terminal Laboratory of the China Institute of Information and Communications.
