"When the times abandon you, I won't even say goodbye." This is a shocking sentence. Only after experiencing the changes of the times can we understand this "how painful comprehension". Thirty years ago, I thought that the "big brother" held by a boss in a large suit was a high-end product that life could reach. Today, comparing the most common mobile phone with the big brother at the time, we have to sigh with emotion over the past 30 years. Information technology is really an explosive advance. Fortunately, when we were young, we were caught up in the wave of informatization and Internet, so we can still keep up with this era; however, recently we have seen the introduction of artificial intelligence content in high school courses. I am really worried about whether there will be follow-up in ten years. People who are not up to the time will become "illiterate who can't type."
From the initial courtyard management to today's standardized service management, the concept of "community" has a history of at least forty years in China. Around 2000, due to the improvement of video intercom and other products, the concept of "smart community" began to take shape; after 2005, a small number of domestic companies involved in the field of smart communities with the help of the Internet of Things concept and sensor technology, but the market did Not stunned; and in recent years, with the rise of the smart home market, the development of basic artificial intelligence technology, and the popularization of cloud computing, the wave of building smart communities has hit again.
The rise of the smart home market promotes the construction of smart communities
The concept of smart home has been proposed since the end of the 1990s, and the same has not seen much improvement, but in the past few years, we can see that major giants have "flocked" into the field of smart home. In foreign countries, Amazon launched the smart speaker Echo to seize the voice interaction portal, and Apple launched the HomeKit to interconnect with various smart devices. Domestic BAT giants are not to be outdone. Baidu has launched smart speakers twice, and Alibaba's Tmall Genie is attracting fans at ultra-low prices. The traditional domestic smart home companies are also working hard to arm their products with various technologies to prepare for the next feast. Of course, as smart home equipment enters the home, the outdoor part corresponding to the indoor will also be promoted, which is a positive promotion for the construction of smart communities.
First, when real estate developers push smart homes, they must also push smart communities. At present, most of the smart home equipment is still 2BC, that is, through the B-end customer of the real estate agent and then sold to the C-end customer of the end-use user, the real estate agent will obviously not make a big gap between the community business and the home business. According to the experience of Shenzhen Aite Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Anthouse) in cooperation with a number of real estate developers, local manufacturers are more willing to make the community smarter, and also hope that the smart home Home equipment can interact with the community to a certain extent. For example, the indoor unit launched by Aite Smart can be used as a gateway for smart devices in the home to control each single product, or as a part of the building intercom system, which cleverly connects community business and home business, while Aite Smart The unified provision of access control equipment and major indoor smart home equipment also ensures that the "indoor and outdoor" service levels provided by real estate developers are at the same level.
Second, smart homes and related markets are working hard to educate users. In addition to the smart home devices that 2BC enters the home, Internet companies and original home appliance manufacturers are also pushing smart devices into the market. We can see that smart refrigerators, surveillance cameras, voice speakers and other devices are also entering the home in large numbers. These devices In addition to meeting the needs of users, entering the home is also subtly educating users to accept more fresh smart community equipment. For example, the most common thing is that users are familiar with using mobile apps to control various devices at home. Then it is natural to let users use mobile apps to control community devices, such as access control, monitoring, etc., even some users will Take the initiative to appeal for the upgrade of community management services.
Third, the intelligentization of the family also requires the intelligent assistance of the community. Continuing with the second reason, in addition to being educated, users also have extended needs for some of the functions they enjoy, such as human body sensors, smoke detection alarms, emergency help buttons and other devices provided to users, and the alarm information of these devices It is not enough to just give to family members. If this information can be quickly passed to the property management staff, then many dangerous accidents can be avoided or quick response. Aite’s smart devices can transmit various indoor alarm signals to the community management system after obtaining the user’s authorization, and can quickly turn on the access control device and send it to the property management staff through the mobile phone APP, so as to maximize the indoor smart home The utility of the equipment. In addition to such a connection from the inside to the outside, Atech also opens up information transmission from the outside to the inside. For example, the user can set up such a scene, when the vehicle enters the parking lot, the indoor smart home equipment automatically enters the home mode.
In fact, smart communities and smart homes are the relationship between action and reaction. Smart homes can promote the construction of smart communities, and the construction of smart communities can make smart homes more extended. Therefore, in the market, companies that originally did community intelligence are also making hardware products for smart homes. Companies that originally did smart homes will not give up the business of smart communities. Internet companies that have broken in want to do both. To catch. When Aite Smart is doing smart community business, it mainly connects with third parties, such as parking lot docking with Jieshun, video surveillance docking with Dahua or Haikang monitoring systems, fire and fire alarm systems, etc. are also third-party, so Let real estate business users have more freedom to choose, and Aite is mainly responsible for implementing the smart community system.
The basic technology of artificial intelligence enriches the life scene of the smart community
Since the 1950s, artificial intelligence technology has been ups and downs. Recently, with the success of AlphaGo, it has returned to the public eye strongly. The popularity of artificial intelligence this time is mainly due to the maturity of basic technologies, such as face recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing, fingerprint recognition, and basic algorithms. It is these basic technologies that can promote the business progress of smart communities.
Face recognition: We all know that Apple’s Face ID is 3D imaging. There may not be a breakthrough in the country in the short term, but 2D and 2D+ assistive technology face recognition is now widely used. Nowadays, the access control equipment and monitoring equipment in the community business have applied a large number of face recognition technology. For example, the access control function of swiping the face into the community can free the residents from the keychain, and the stranger can be compared with the suspect database during the monitoring. And increase the safety of the community. Many residents are worried that the face recognition function will be compromised, such as creating a fake face or even a photo. Of course, various manufacturers are also using some auxiliary technologies to avoid counterfeiting. For example, some manufacturers increase infrared sensors to detect living bodies. In addition, each technology has a certain probability of being cracked, just like the original key opening the door will be cracked. Of course, no matter what, face recognition must be applied to community businesses on a large scale.
Speech recognition + natural language processing: speech recognition and natural language processing are currently biased towards home applications. For example, the smart speaker market is very hot recently. Smart home devices can be controlled through voice. In the short term, speech recognition and natural language processing are obviously difficult If it is directly applied to community services, it is not easy to say whether there will be any vendors launching voice recognition access control in the future. However, speech recognition + natural language processing has found another way to be applied to smart communities. At present, many companies are researching service robots, and these robots are all equipped with speech recognition and natural language processing technology, while the community is service robots. In the best landing scenario, the robot can meet the consultation needs of the residents, and can also guide the user to carry out some simple business processing. The Kubao robot developed by Aite Intelligent integrates technologies such as speech recognition and natural language processing, and can be used as a service assistant of the property to provide various consulting and guidance services to the owners.
Fingerprint recognition: Before the integration of fingerprint modules in Apple mobile phones, fingerprint technology was only for criminal investigation and attendance applications. Now fingerprint payment and fingerprint access control are very mature. It is foreseeable that there will be many fingerprint recognition devices in the future, such as fingerprint locks and fingerprint safes. , Fingerprint wardrobe, fingerprint notebook, etc. Aite is also working hard to promote the application of fingerprint recognition in the community. The application of fingerprint recognition in the community will also encounter a series of problems, such as the service life of the capacitive fingerprint recognition module and 1:N (N is greater than 10,000). Is the FAR (False Acceptance Rate) indicator of the fingerprint recognition algorithm still reliable? Of course, technical problems will be broken sooner or later. I believe that Aite Smart will soon have a good solution.
Basic algorithm: There is no such sophisticated basic algorithm, which can be applied to the community. We may not pursue the shocking algorithm of AlphaGo, but some algorithms such as forecasting and pricing can be applied to the smart community. For example, Aerotech applies the prediction algorithm to the number of parking spaces in the parking lot, so that it is convenient for the owners to know the number of empty parking spaces in the community during the visitor’s time period; applying the dynamic pricing algorithm to the commercial parking lot in the community can not only help regulate the parking lot traffic flow, but also It can also maximize the revenue of commercial parking lots.
Perhaps today's artificial intelligence technology still has flaws, but the technical problems must be solved, and what we have to do is to keep up with the times and believe that technology will bring us a better life. As a technology company, Aite Smart not only cooperates with external algorithm companies in artificial intelligence, but also invests in research and development personnel to research, improve and debug some basic algorithms, such as face recognition and fingerprint recognition currently applied to access control equipment, and strive to make These advanced technologies can be applied to the life scenes we can see.
The popularity of cloud computing solves the basic problems in the construction of smart communities
Some time ago I reviewed the speeches of the guests at the Smart Community Construction Forum in the past few years, and found that in the past few years, when discussing the construction of the smart community, everyone talked about basic network provision, computer room construction, virtual machine construction, etc., and today’s network, server and even cloud computing Waiting for resources is already a basic service like water and electricity, and there is no longer a need for repeated investment and maintenance. These technologies, represented by cloud computing, have been "basically resourced" and have significantly promoted the construction of smart communities.
First of all, the deployment of the cloud platform reduces the difficulty and cost of the installation and commissioning of the smart community system. In the past, it was necessary to set up servers and install virtual machines in the community. Not only did you have to pay high server costs, but also required installation and maintenance personnel to have certain professional knowledge. In many cases, it was a lot of effort to install the system. If time is broken and cannot be maintained, it will continue to be broken. The smart community platform launched by Aite Smart only needs to install a simple client locally in the community, and synchronize the local business data to the cloud for processing. For property personnel, they only need to log in to the cloud platform and mobile APP to process the community. Everything within.
Secondly, the deployment method of the cloud platform guarantees the foundation for the continuous change of the smart community business. I still remember that when the smart community was built a few years ago, everyone mentioned the need to build community logistics and let the property staff help the owners to carry out the courier collection, but soon after the courier cabinets of Cainiao and Fengchao came out, the originally planned smart logistics function in the community It’s useless. Of course, this is a subtraction function. It’s not necessary if it’s great, but if we want to add new functions, do we need to update the server, database and debugging one by one in the community? Obviously easy to see, only cloud platform deployment In order to ensure that the constantly changing smart community business is quickly updated.
Third, the cloud platform deployment method is more secure. Before, many real estate companies would question whether if the data is placed on the cloud platform, will it involve data leakage or the data of the households being used by others. In fact, security is a relative concept. First, smart community cloud platform vendors should theoretically choose reliable cloud server suppliers to ensure the performance, security and stability of the cloud server; second, the process of data transmission Encryption mechanism should be used in the system, even if the data is intercepted, it will increase the difficulty of being deciphered; third, as a service provider, it is the responsibility and obligation not to touch customer data, and it should be possible for customers to deploy private clouds at any time Possible. At the beginning of the construction of the smart community cloud platform, Atech fully considers the customer's sensitivity to household data. For each customer, Atech deploys an independent private cloud server, and can respond to the customer to manage the cloud server or build a private cloud at any time Request.
Thirty years ago, the big brother, today’s bangs mobile phone, when we stand thirty years ago and look at today, it will feel incredible, when we stand today and look at it thirty years ago, we will sigh and sigh, "Thirty years Hedong, thirty years "Hexi" is true. When we review the growth history of mobile phones, you will not think that manufacturers that add games to mobile phones are not doing their jobs properly, will not accuse Apple of launching large touch screens for hurting fingers and blinding eyes, nor will you laugh at counterfeit mobile phones. Loud speakers, and we are building a smart community today, users may have been very tolerant. Even if they are puzzled, what are they afraid of? The era will embrace those who keep up with the pace, and will only abandon those who stand still. .
