The situation of smart home "only hear the stairs ringing, no one has seen people down" has been going on for many years. Can the AI ​​catalyze the Internet of Things and the catalysis of 5G communication to achieve the final breakthrough in commercialization? From Samsung, LG, Sony to Haier, Hisense, TCL, Skyworth, Changhong, Konka, Suning and other Chinese and foreign companies are actively promoting.

When the Internet of Things meets AI, the smart home Chinese and foreign war situation is still confusing

However, there is a bigger platform behind the pushers. Google Assistant and Amazon Alex have accelerated the penetration of major intelligent hardware vendors. Their presence is almost everywhere in the 2018CES. Baidu and Ali also grabbed the limelight in CES. The pattern of competition between Chinese and foreign smart homes is still unclear.

Smart home entrance: from mobile phones to TVs to cars

"In the real Internet of Things era, it is a simple single product plus intelligent networking control module or product model will have subversive changes, which may still be questionable. However, it is difficult for existing manufacturers to break the module on this product. The number of roads, existing advantages are sometimes disadvantages, and the existing share of manufacturers in the traditional field determines that compatibility with each other will remain a key issue on the road to commercialization of smart homes," said Gao Shiwang.

The rapid commercialization of 5G may be an important point of explosion, and the improvement of network capacity, speed, coverage, etc., gives the Internet of Things a sufficiently rich scene. The accelerated intervention of technology giants is also an important factor in the rapid landing of the Internet of Things and smart homes.
