In addition to security, 360 layout and logic on smart hardware

Changed the past High-profile, 2014 Zhou and his 360 began to become calm and pragmatic. Just from the United States to "recharge" back to Beijing, old Zhou said a word--iot, that is, anything to connect it, all to turn it into intelligent equipment, it must be connected with the Internet. At the same time, Lao Zhou also admitted: "I have pulled a lot of unreliable small partners to do mobile phones, and finally ended in failure." On the hardware we have done a lot of attempts, but today still adhere to the down, but the hardware in fact the threshold is quite high. ”

Coincidentally, in the old week to the United States "study" during my 360 and a variety of intelligent hardware products of the head of the face-to-face chat, they introduced to me products and share the experience of the process, but also passed 360 in the field of intelligent hardware signal. Apart from security, what are the 360 layouts and logic on smart hardware?

Secure, move from line to line

360 Home Guard, this is up to now 360 of its latest smart hardware products. It is similar to many domestic security products related to intelligent home surveillance, through real-time monitoring of the camera can use mobile phone remote viewing, and can detect object movement. At the same time through the built-in microphone and speakers can be anywhere with the family two-way voice calls. Of course, the follow-up it will also add cloud video function, the video recording upload to the cloud, convenient real-time call.

If we get out of this newest product to look at the whole of the "360 Smart Hardware Group", then moving from online to offline is the 360 "tentative" transition that is desperately wanted through hardware.

such as family guards, child defender, safe route and guard against losing these products, security has become attached to the product of the largest "chip", that is to say 360 to converge on the traditional PC security and mobile security advantages will be offline other industrial chain related to safety products also labeled "360" logo.

Boldly imagine that 360 will be interested in products such as home security locks and smart sockets. They not only have the use of the need to judge the safety risks, or the necessities of life.

Linkage, this is 360 want to do, but not yet.

Up to now, 360 of its six smart hardware products, aside from the portable WiFi and other products linked to the possibility of the rest of the five products have a great space for imagination.

For example, the Zhi can be used as trigger source, and the safe route and family guard in the home are linked through the IFTTT way. Through the Chi key or application, quickly look at the child to wear a child defender's specific location or receive a signal from the guard against loss, in order to retrieve the wallet just lost.

The reason for the big imagination is that for 360 of the current intelligent hardware system, a set of first-order platform is not difficult. The same route as the hub center of the "360 intelligent hardware Group" want to achieve linkage in the end what is needed?

The head of the safe Route Ning and the Zhang Zhang of the guard are very similar, they think linkage is inevitable, this is the start-up company almost not involved in the "advantage." But it's going to be a long time, and Ning and Zhang Zhang think it's not an explosive growth area for smart hardware, which means that hardware has to be prepared for a "lasting battle".

"Not yet", this is a number of product owners to linkage of the general view. They think the current product layout is not fully established, some products are still in the process of development. And for the current situation of domestic intelligent hardware, whether from the product point of view or the overall planning, to do linkage is still a little early, but this step is bound to Michael.

Investment is an attempt and the future

The office area of Zhi is in the 15 floor of block A of 360 mansion, very skillful, opposite is old Zhou's office. And the domestic start-up company Fast button cooperation, this is 360 in the "entrance" level of hardware operating mode. In detail, 360 is responsible for the control of the hardware, mass production; The fast button is responsible for the integration of software solutions.

Similar to millet, 3,601 straight in the context of hardware investment, such as the depth of cooperation with Broadlink, 360 hope that this way to quickly integrate into the hardware domain and gain a certain right of speech.

For hardware start-ups, deep cooperation almost means "subconscious transformation". For example, long ago and Lenovo deep cooperation of the start-up companies listen to technology, they use with Lenovo, Thunderbolt cooperation to achieve early capital intervention, this is a good thing for hardware start-ups.

For 360来, hardware investment seems to be just an attempt at the moment, but from the perspective of several product owners, the hardware will continue to be within 360 as a future business. As an "angel," the Logic of Zhou and 360 's investment in smart hardware remains to be seen, and 36 of Krypton will continue to follow.
