General situation of Haier smart home market development

Smart home is the inevitable result of the penetration and development of IT technology (especially computer technology), network technology and control technology into the traditional household appliance industry. From the social background, the high development of information technology, the freedom and high level of communication, the rapid increase of business volume and the improvement of human requirements for the safety, comfort and efficiency of the working environment have greatly increased the demand for smart homes. In science and technology, the development of computer control technology and the growth of electronic information communication technology also contributed to the birth of smart home. Smart home is a multi-functional technical system, including visual intercom, home security, home integrated wiring system, lighting control, home appliance control, indoor environment monitoring and equipment control, remote video monitoring, sound monitoring, home audio-visual system, as well as telemedicine and remote teaching. Home intelligence contains a lot of contents, and domestic bus systems, power line carriers, wireless and other products are basically realized through bus systems, telephone networks or Ethernet. (1) The manufacturers of traditional video intercom and home security products also have some experience in electronic development and production, adding control functions to the original products to realize home automation. These companies have certain relationships and networks in the engineering design institute, and use the original intercom product market to promote their products.

(2) Traditional home appliance enterprises and IT enterprises are optimistic about this field. These enterprises combine their own advantages in the field of home appliance control and IT to develop smart home products, which can be better combined with home appliances. They use their own channel advantages and market influence, accumulate years of management experience, production experience and good after-sales service and reputation to open the market. (1) home wiring system: The first step to realize home intelligence is to build the infrastructure of home wiring. The home wiring system plans, arranges and centrally manages the wiring of telephone, cable TV, computer network, audio-visual system and home automation control system, and provides a network platform for realizing home intelligence. Through home integrated wiring, both automatic control and resource sharing can be realized. With only one DVD player, stereo and satellite TV receiver, you can watch movies and listen to music in every room of your family. Many computers can be connected to the Internet, and you can enjoy broadband service. Many phones can be answered and transferred at will. Moreover, the integrated wiring is adopted, which makes the wiring system in the home have good expansibility and upgradeability, and meets the needs of different users.

(2) Home security system: People's requirements for security system are getting higher and higher, and home security system can effectively use technical defense means to achieve security. The family safety system includes the functions of theft prevention, gas leakage prevention and fire prevention. At the same time, it can be used for remote monitoring, so that residents can know the internal situation of the family at any time through the network or telephone, and at the same time monitor or monitor the internal situation of the family.

(3) Home automation system: The main body of smart home is home automation, and the main body of home automation in the future will be the control of household appliances, lighting and other electrical equipment. Empty talk automation system can control indoor lighting or household appliances through centralized or decentralized control, and residents can remotely control indoor equipment through network or telephone. Home automation system is the main development direction of smart home in the future.

(4) Family experience system: People's requirements for life experience are getting higher and higher, and the demand for audio-visual system, family environment and network virtual environment is also getting higher and higher, and the consumption expenditure used in this area will be higher and higher, and the future home intelligence will better meet people's consumption.

At present, there are many intelligent systems and products in China, but most of them are independent of each other, with low integration, few connections between systems and no unified platform within the family.

After Haier Group set foot in the field of smart home, it focused on the research of smart home platform and the integration of intelligent systems in various families.
