The bottleneck of intelligent home Appliance Fusion: standard is not unified

"When it comes to smart appliances, it's hard to say what kind of pattern and direction to develop." "China Household Electrical Appliances Association secretary General Xu Dongsheng accepted the" First financial daily "reporter interview, Frank said.

What is happening is that the Internet is expanding from PC interconnection, mobile phone interconnection to automotive interconnection, home appliances interconnection and other emerging "things networking" field. This year, products like the concept of "smart family life" have emerged.

In the first half of this year, Qihoo 360 and Oxley officially launched the cooperation on intelligent air-conditioning, into the "smart home" field.

Qihoo 360 has not been involved in the field of air conditioning manufacturing, but the traditional electrical appliance enterprise, which specializes in air conditioning manufacturing, lacks the technology to carry out large data analysis in the cloud service platform. This has also become the basis for cooperation between the two sides.

"In the future, we hope that some parameters in the air conditioner can be changed in the cloud, the air conditioner sold to the north and the air conditioner sold to the south, the wet heat is different, the starting curve is different." Shen Haiyin, vice president of Qihoo 360, said in an interview with reporters.

Shen Haiyin told reporters, home appliances enterprises and Internet enterprises can be divided into two stages of cooperation. The first is to achieve the Internet appliances, such as what kind of protocol Internet (WiFi, Bluetooth), how to use the lowest cost of Internet access, Internet companies can provide solutions. And in the Internet after the realization of home appliances, you can use the Internet Enterprise cloud services to achieve the product "interconnection and interoperability."

"This kind of opportunity is mainly to bring more possibilities, the former potential demand can be directly amplified into real demand." Chanxu, president of the Austrian electronics group, said in an interview, but at the same time he also stressed the importance of quality.

According to the reporter understand, China Internet Association, Ministry of Industry Information Center, China Household Electrical Appliance Association launched the "Internet Industrial Application Committee" yesterday, this is China's first commitment to promote the Internet, manufacturing industry integration of industry organizations. And March next year will be held in 2015 China Household Electrical Appliances Expo (AWE2015), but also for the first time to become the industrial integration landing results concentrated display platform.

"The integration of the Internet and home appliances manufacturing has been ongoing, including the development of design, management, marketing, logistics, (home appliance Enterprises) in the Internet impact of a great change." Xu Dongsheng said in an interview that with the rise of mobile internet and cloud computing, internet-based products appear and develop very quickly.

However, Xu Dongsheng also said that in 2014 this year, although the emergence of a variety of "smart home appliances" products, the overall industry is still in exploration.

In Shen Haiyin's view, "smart home appliances" Face the biggest problem is still "standard is not unified."

Shen Haiyin said: "Now can access the intelligent products, the basic is the private protocol to carry out data transmission, the interconnection between them facing a larger obstacle, there will be a variety of standards coexist, even public agreement, private agreement coexistence of ' chaos '." ”

In fact, as a smart set-top box into the "smart living room" Hisense, but also many times distressed equipment standards are not the problem.

"Products are not only to be connected with themselves, but also with others." No matter how proud Apple and Samsung are, it is impossible to ask that all products in the consumer family are a brand, so there must be no boundaries, no matter who's equipment in the exchange interconnection, so that the real value. "said Stephen.

Shen Haiyin that the question of a future unified standard could form two paths: first, leading companies use leadership to push their own standards and form de facto standards. Second, the Government or industry associations organize enterprises to set industry standards.

However, in Xu Dongsheng's view, standard interoperability is only a technical issue in the development process, will gradually be resolved.

"What is the specific plan, which criteria, I think need to solve in the development, rather than regulation, the different solutions are actually in the integration of the solution." In the process of Internet technology development, in addition to some standards of communication standards out, many others are formed as a result of the market development of a system to complete, not a unit to put forward standards. "Xu Dongsheng said.
