What is a smart device?

Intelligent device refers to the property that devices can actively meet people's various needs with the support of technologies such as network, big data, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence.

For example, a driverless car is an intelligent thing. It integrates technologies such as sensor Internet of Things, mobile Internet and big data analysis to actively meet people's travel needs. It is dynamic because it doesn't need passive human operation and driving like a traditional car.

Intelligence is divided into hardware intelligence and software intelligence.

Hardware intelligence, also known as intelligent hardware, actually appeared in people's minds very early. People are always eager to have a machine that can help us do what we can't or don't want to do. Robot is the earliest idea of hardware intelligence. In science fiction and movies, we can see the frequent appearance of intelligent robots.

In recent years, the originator of the concept of intelligent hardware personally thinks that it is Steve Jobs' iPhone, which has led to the popularity of smart phones and the development of APP applications. Then iwatch evokes people's imagination of wearable devices, and then it is extended to other intelligent hardware devices.

Compared with the brilliant performance of hardware intelligence, software intelligence is more difficult to answer the proposition. The foundation of software intelligence is "cloud computing" and "big data". Only by accumulating enough data can the software be more accurate and meet the intelligence we need.

Building cloud computing and big data is much more difficult than simply manufacturing hardware carriers. The existing accumulation is weak and the promotion speed is slow.

Siri is a prominent product of software intelligence. At the beginning, the appearance of this product caused great expectations. Of course, for various reasons, Siri's influence has been greatly reduced, but its great significance is undeniable.
