A Strong Entry into the AIOT Tmall Genie will Create a New Network of Intelligent Network

After visiting the CES 2019 Tmall Genie home, it is impressive that the Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Lab has once again accelerated the AIOT intelligent scene layout, relying on the intelligent voice function of the Tmall Wizard to open up the home life and car travel intercom scene. Value the artificial intelligence.

As Qian Xue, vice president of Alibaba Group and general manager of artificial intelligence laboratory, expects “Don’t let today’s vision limit the imagination of tomorrow’s development.” It’s not hard to see that this cooperation between Tmall Genie and BMW is light. Full.

During the exhibition, Tmall Genie and BMW jointly announced that the BMW model equipped with the Tmall Genie Intelligent Car Voice Assistant will be officially launched in October 2019. The new car will support the ""home car interconnection"" function, providing the voice interaction and AI service capabilities of the Tmall Wizard. Users can connect with the Tmall Wizard in the cloud through the cloud to realize the deep interconnection of the home scene and the travel scene.

AIoT will connect people, devices, content and services into an expanding network, using AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things) to seamlessly integrate the two scenes of home and car. Among them, rich services such as Alipay, Tmall Taobao, Gaode Navigation, Youku Shrimp and other life functions can be accessed.

The owner can let the car open the air conditioner in advance or use the language to control the window sunroof to open and close, call the navigation and schedule, calculate the mileage of the vehicle, power consumption, etc.; into the car, the owner can use the voice remote remote control home sweeping robot, TV Smart devices such as air conditioners.

In an exclusive interview with Shallow Snow, she believes that the Tmall Genie is working hard to get through the cross-border scene of the car. First, the car road cooperates with intelligent automatic driving, which can realize the connection of the car end, the road end and the cloud, and provide intelligent transportation solutions.

Second, the Tmall Genie car intelligent voice assistant, for example, directly locks the BMW door or switches the sunroof by voice at home to achieve remote control. And like this set of front-load control methods in the traditional car enterprise verification process, the time is generally 2-5 years. The BMW equipped with the Tmall Genie Internet can be officially launched in October this year. From the speed point of view, it is difficult for general car companies to do it.

In addition, Alibaba will also provide Zebra Zhixing Internet car system and Gaode Internet car navigation to deal with automotive intelligent networking. At CES, BMW announced that all of BMW's main models in China will be connected to the Tmall Genie service. This is another cooperation in the field of “smart cars”. Before that, Tmall Genie has already cooperated with Volvo, Mercedes and other car companies. Achieved in-depth cooperation.

Intelligent Automation Layout of IoT Interconnect Nodes in Advance

From the concrete landing scene, Alibaba provided by Alibaba will be more convenient to live through intelligent automation.

Through the calculation and scheduling of AI, IoT's IoT relationship will be more reasonable. At the same time, after 2018 AI technology blowout, AIOT will also provide solutions for various integrated network services, such as in the fields of medical treatment, new retail, etc. At the same time as the traditional industry, it will also completely change our living habits, which is the trend of future development.

However, in the interconnection of IoT, a large amount of AI calculation needs to be transmitted to each terminal in a timely and rapid manner. In this process, 5G plays a vital role. For the consumer, it may be too early, but for companies such as Alibaba, grab the technology accumulation before 5G, the timing of the program promotion is just right.

As the number one smart speaker brand in China and the third in the world, the Tmall Genie may be limited to fixed hardware terminals for us, but from the layout strategy of Alibaba, the Tmall Genie will become an AIOT service, with us. The life is closely combined.

For example, this cooperation with the high-end home appliance brand Bosch home appliances, the two sides jointly launched a smart speaker product ""Qinna"" built into the Tmall Genie, through which you use voice to control other related products of Bosch appliances. In addition, at the CES show, the appearance of the Tmall Genie Smart Living Museum also represents Alibaba's determination to enter the AIOT.

Thanks to IoTConnect, the open communication protocol of Alibaba's artificial intelligence laboratory, the access solution has once again “evolved” this year. In addition to the ability to open communication protocols, it also includes connection standards, SDKs, modules, development boards and chip libraries. , product library, solution library, as well as product specifications, certification specifications, security specifications, etc. ""full-stack"" smart home connectivity platform service capabilities.

The Tmall Genie is just a part of Alibaba's AIOT. In the future, it will not only be a hardware terminal, but will be transformed into a smart service, and life will be closer to the user. For all types of hardware manufacturers, it is also an easy-to-use intelligent voice solution, which can access Alibaba's rich scene services and enhance the market competitiveness of hardware.

In general, the Internet of Everything can no longer represent Alibaba's layout ideas for AIOT, how to make this connection method more intelligent, and make the user experience more humanized; how to make the solution fall to the ground more, the customer to join the ecology is simpler, This is two issues that Alibaba needs to solve under the AIOT trend.

Last words

AI's new technology is creating the next generation of human-computer interaction, and smart voice has begun to penetrate into everyone's daily life. Alibaba's A.I. Labs launched the Tmall Genie on the line for only one year, and the cumulative sales exceeded 5 million units. The ""I am, you said"" interactive mode provides a technology lifestyle for ordinary home users.

The Tmall Genie relies on a powerful acoustic laboratory to use natural language processing for deep learning of artificial intelligence, further expanding the richness of landing scenes. Home-to-car linkage has enabled more connectivity possibilities.

In the battle for the entrance to the Internet of Things, the accessibility of the Tmall Genie is undoubtedly ahead. Based on Alibaba's commercial layout, Tmall Genie has also been able to provide life scenes such as hotels, airports, maternity rooms, and nursing homes. In the future, the intelligent voice assistant will also integrate and open the interaction between smart home, smart car networking and the Internet of Things, and finally realize the construction of smart city.
