Who is playing a role behind the rise of smart speakers?

OFweek smart home network communications behind each successful person has a person who silently supports him, smart speakers continue to develop into a market for technology giants to fight, behind the same person or thing that plays a role. From this point of view, the rise of its behind can not be separated from voice interaction and partners.

The smart speaker

As a technology branch of artificial intelligence, speech recognition is clearly easier to get AI closer to humans. The tech giants chose “speakers” as an entrance, and they also saw that the future of voice recognition will be the focus of human-computer interaction. After reaching such a consensus, based on the voice interaction, high and low weight smart speakers will come out in time.

The most talked about smart speakers currently coming from giants, including Amazon's ECHO, Google's Google Home, Apple's HomePod and Ali artificial intelligence lab launched last week, the Tmall Elf X1. As mentioned above, the appearance of the four smart speakers is different, but the common point is that they all perform user-assigned tasks based on voice commands.

Amazon ECHO released the earliest time, its intelligent voice technology into the traditional speaker's practice gives the speaker artificial intelligence properties, but also let the speaker from a simple sounder device into a smart device. The "Alexa" voice assistant it carries can complete music, news, online purchase orders, Uber taxis, and takeaways after hearing instructions.

The Google Home, HomePod, and Lynx X1 debuted after Amazon's ECHO are three smart speakers based on Google Voice Assistant, Siri, and AliGenie, respectively, but the features are inevitably similar to ECHO. Of course, besides being able to complete operations such as shopping by voice, these four smart speakers are also the control centers of smart homes and can be completely close to people's lives.

The importance of open platforms

Having the voice interaction capability is the first step for the speaker to become intelligent. The next step is to use voice interaction to complete the usage scenarios that may be encountered in various consumer lives. This requires smart speakers to have more features.

The open platform is the key for smart speakers to have more features and access more hardware. As we all know, Amazon ECHO has now become a representative of smart speakers, one of the reasons to help them go further is Alexa's openness, which can promote more developers to join it. As for Ali's AliGenie platform, the official said that AliGenie currently supports more than 100 brands, Ali will also launch a full set of hardware reference design solutions for hardware vendors to integrate the AliGenie system into their products. In addition, through the SDK access and protocol access, more intelligent hardware has the opportunity to connect with the Tmall Genie X1, which makes the outside world optimistic about the market prospect of the Tmall Genie X1.

It is not difficult to see that an open platform can make its own voice system more widely used and it can welcome more and more partners. With these helpers, smart speakers and their equipped voice systems will have the opportunity to enter life and various business scenes and are familiar to Xiao Bailu people.

Will replace the phone?

It seems that after each intelligent hardware is fired up, there will be some voices asking “Is it going to replace the mobile phone?” But there is actually no smart hardware that has replaced the mobile phone in people’s lives.

Although many smart hardwares have been extremely popular, they need to rely on the mobile phone APP to complete or close their functions. In terms of portability, smart speakers are much more bloated than mobile phones, even though they are small and easy to wear. On the other hand, even if the smart speakers are suitable for use in a home environment, we can't stay at home all the time. After all, in a noisy outdoor environment, the use of smart speakers is greatly reduced. So, this means that many people are not as keen to buy smart speakers as they are praising mobile phones.

Summary: Although no one can determine how far a smart speaker can go in the future, smart speakers may be the best form of speech interaction. In the development of voice interaction, smart speakers may not be the only terminal, but they must be indispensable. It can not replace the smart machine, but its development and voice interaction, artificial intelligence development should complement each other.
