On August 15th, Samsung Galaxy Note9 was released. In addition to the 'Golden Pen' S Pen, The New Bixby has also become a highlight of the new product.
Since 2017, the combination of mobile phones and AI has become more and more close. The two most familiar applications for users are AI camera and intelligent voice assistant. Samsung Note9 also adds intelligent scene optimization, which can recognize 20 scenes and support real-time detection. Test, although the hardware is consistent with the Samsung S9+, but the camera experience is further optimized. In contrast, The New Bixby, which Samsung Note9 first supported, is more concerned, and the voice interactive experience has been further improved.
Smoother and more user-friendly
On terminal devices such as smart phones, Bixby can be said to be the best, one of the most intelligent voice assistants, capable of accurately recognizing voice commands, correlating rich application content, and accurately correlating contextually in the process of conversational interaction. This enhances the interactive experience. The New Bixby released this time is further upgraded on this basis, by creating the concept of the service platform, getting rid of the shackles of the APP, one step straighter and more efficient, and launching the personality through the 'learning' user habits Customized, customized service, so The New Bixby will give users a smoother, more user-friendly experience.
According to the interactive logic of the mobile phone voice assistant, when we look for nearby food, we need to start the corresponding APP first, then search within the APP to give the result. From the perspective of the user, the mobile phone will automatically switch the page frequently, especially the APP startup. When you need to load an ad, a sentence of instructions needs to wait for a long response time. The New Bixby takes the cloud service as the core. After optimizing this scenario, the user can directly give the search result without installing the required app in time. It is said that through the cloud integration, in cooperation with third parties, The New Bixby can directly give answers to the instructions, avoiding the time consumption of starting the APP, and the whole interaction process will be smoother.
Not only that, the New Bixby's dialogue capabilities have been enhanced with upgrades for speech recognition, natural language understanding (NLU) and conversation management techniques. After the user orders, The New Bixby will give the answer and guess the user. The 'real' demand gradually guides the user to the final desired result. In this operation, the dialogue interaction will be more natural, 'personification'. According to Zhang Daijun, Dean of Samsung Electronics China Research Institute, the algorithm optimization is shortened. Response time, while improving the speed of pronunciation recognition, Samsung is also committed to The New Bixby 'pronunciation' closer to the improvement of the original sound.
The New Bixby also added the 'personal recommendation' function, which will learn user habits during daily use and gradually improve the 'user portrait', so that it will be different from person to person when providing services to users. Scene perception, such as location, can give more appropriate recommendations, and pass the user a kind of 'intentional' application experience.
Samsung has invested heavily in artificial intelligence. This is not only a financial aspect. According to Prof. Zhang Daijun, Samsung has established AI research centers in many countries and regions around the world. In order to better build The New Bixby ecosystem, it is naturally inseparable from the support of partners. Samsung said The New Bixby continues its open attitude and looks forward to more third-party devices and content additions.
IoT and 5G, layout the future
Smartphones may be the most suitable terminal equipment for AI landing, but it is not the only one! In the past two years, we can also feel smart speakers, smart homes and even cars are accelerating the integration with AI to build a comprehensive coverage of the AI platform. It also has its own advantages. In addition to Samsung mobile phones, Samsung's development in the field of IoT equipment such as home appliances is also in the forefront of the industry. Therefore, the integration of The New Bixby and IoT, collision, is also worth looking forward to!
At the beginning of this year, CES 2018 will be able to see Bixby's application in a variety of home appliances. As an important market for IoT devices, Samsung will not miss this development opportunity. At the August 15 conference, Samsung Not only talk about Samsung's home appliances, health equipment and other support for Bixby, but also introduced the Zhijia Partner Program, through Samsung Zhijia joint customization, Samsung Zhijia ecological partners and other services, to attract partners IoT products to join, let more equipment Support Bixby voice control. The first IoT category will include 6 Zigbee devices and 5 WiFi devices, and will support more than 180 products in multiple categories during the year. With the smart ecology, we will return home and turn on the lights in the future. Turn on the water heater... until the light is turned off, you only need a simple sentence to achieve it. The real smart life is getting closer and closer to us.
Of course, the Internet of Things application is inseparable from the network connection. It is necessary to talk about the advantages of 5G! 5G not only in high speed, low latency, but also in the mass connection, which is for the Internet of Vehicles and Smart Home. In the 5G field, Samsung's exploration is also in a leading position. It is foreseeable that with the popularization of 5G commercialization in the future, users will be able to obtain a smooth, personalized and user-friendly intelligent voice assistant experience, whether on the smartphone or the Internet of Things platform. By then, Samsung Bixby will provide more services to consumers, and it is worth looking forward to!
