as described in the previous article ("Building a next-generation service carrier, how can the treasure of smart devices be dug?") "), smart devices will become the carrier of the next generation of services, the entire service system is the construction of the Internet of things, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, device terminal combination. To be precise, the two roles that smart devices play: The fulfillment of the service, the Collector of data. The Next generation service should have only one foothold, that is, "automation", so the future can not be separated from the app, the data sharing of intelligent hardware will be pseudo-intelligence. The "smart" part of smart hardware can be abstracted as follows:1, able to connect and control, that can communicate with other devices or servers, to receive remote instructions to adjust their own state such as open, close, adjustment;2, can interact with people, the environment, such as through the sensor to detect the external environment changes. in order to realize the next generation of automated services, the required conditions are concentrated in two points: 1, all devices are "smart", 2, all devices with the same "language" communication, all data can be pooled in one, through the "brain" unified analysis, scheduling. Millet with its consistent idea of the Internet hardware, there is a new way of thinking to achieve this goal. First of all, look at Xiaomi to promote the "hardware Informatization" of Four aspects: first, to provide a chip equipped with a complete embedded system, the second is to provide near-free cloud services, convenient hardware networking and information management; The third is to provide native scene control support at the bottom of the MIUI, No need to install 100 apps, and finally the router as the control center (from the "Secret MI Smart Hardware Layout"). 1, to provide a complete embedded system of chips, at once to solve the volume of intelligent equipment, equipment, equipment and server communication "language" standardization of two issues, but also for the unified collection of data, processing laid the foundation. Xiaomi, the MCU, Wi-Fi, storage chip packaging, and then write to the available embedded systems and cloud programs, the encapsulated chip has installed a network, control, connectivity and other units. The intelligent solution of semi-finished products for low-cost or even free of charge to hardware developers and electrical manufacturers. Most equipment vendors should like this way of cooperation, their own product intelligence cost is low, the benefit is big. A further benefit is the standard, open communication protocol used by the device. Allegedly, Xiaomi has been in B, M two well-known chip platform running through, and then by taking these chip manufacturers of the original film, because it is a large volume of procurement, so millet can be obtained at a lower price.stealing thought, to provide intelligent chip this program difficulty is still very large, after all, to face is thousands of different functions of equipment, so Xiaomi should be through a lot of pre-work to extract all the equipment required by the "meta-attribute", and then open to allow the equipment agreed to the system gradually reached. Xiaomi's continued introduction of smart device products may also have gained experience in this goal. 2, to provide almost free cloud services: To provide a unified cloud platform management and data collection, but also to truly achieve the various dimensions of life data collection, through the big data and artificial intelligence technology can be gradually realized automation. The intelligence level of monomer equipment is limited after all, only group collaboration can achieve a higher degree of intelligence. A large number of equipment on-line management is the need for technical precipitation, and the need to spend huge sums of money, Xiaomi provides cloud services, help and management of hardware networking undoubtedly let manufacturers exempt from this problem. Cloud Platform as the "brain" of the Internet of things, through big data can realize the unified management and deployment of equipment. For example , "for an air purifier, it should be turned on when there are people in the house and the air is poor." In addition, if the big data detected in Xiaomi 80% has turned on the purifier-the air is bad-your purifier will automatically open . "3, MIUI operating system to provide multi-scene support: Within a short period of time, the mobile phone is still a human, internet of things service media, through the MIUI to provide native scene control support, mobile phone no longer need to install so many apps. 4, the router as a control center: Intelligent routing can be used as a management, connectivity hub, in addition to direct human interaction with any data connection and management to the route. In addition, I think we can add a little-smart sockets, as the Energy control Center.The future of smart devices may not exist "intelligent" this statement, and is a node of the information network. "For example, you can imagine that in the future a socket, intelligent and intelligent, only 10 dollars, or no difference. Why don't you want to try the convenience of smart sockets?"
