Viewing the Development Prospect of Smart Home from "Three Networks Integration"

Introduction: In recent years, with the development of modernized information technology and the increasingly diverse production and living service needs of the people, telecommunications networks, radio and television networks, and computer communication networks are gradually moving toward convergence. Under the premise of market demand, triple play Gradually put on the national agenda: the 15th plan outline adopted on March 15, 2001, for the first time clearly put forward “triple play”: “to promote the integration of telecommunications, television, and computer networks.” July 1. The State Council officially announced the list of the first batch of triple play pilot cities, including 12 cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Under the opportunity of triple-play integration, the related industries will gain greater development, which will also bring new opportunities for the security industry. In recent years, with the development of modernized information technology and the increasingly diverse production and living service needs of the people, telecommunications networks, radio and television networks, and computer communications networks have gradually taken the trend of convergence. Under the premise of market demand, triple play has been gradually On the agenda of the important national agenda: the 15th plan outline adopted on March 15, 2001, for the first time clearly put forward “triple play”: “to promote the integration of telecommunications, television, and computer networks.” On July 1, the State Council’s foreign The list of the first batch of triple play pilot cities was formally announced, and 12 cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou were shortlisted. Under the opportunity of triple-play integration, the related industries will gain greater development, which will also bring new opportunities for the security industry.

"Triple play" will provide opportunities for smart homes. "Triple play" will integrate traditional broadcasting and TV networks, the Internet, and communications networks. With the integration of three networks, it will provide a convenient and efficient network transmission environment for smart homes. In the future, all kinds of electrical appliances in the home can be networked to form a "Internet of Things", as long as a remote control can be controlled, and even remote control switches through mobile phones. Some remote controls related to smart homes, etc., are connected to the smart home network through a home gateway through a triple-play all-IP network. The entire home is an intelligent and dynamic networking environment. This creates a good environment for the development of smart homes.

Smart Home is an information platform that integrates home control network and multimedia information network. It realizes interconnection and management of various devices in the home, such as computers, TVs, DVDs, etc., so that it can reach homes at any time and any place. Security control, entertainment, home appliances, etc. in the intelligent control and remote control. To realize these functions requires a strong network transmission environment, otherwise smart homes can only exist in isolation and become a digital informatized island that cannot play its role.

The development of smart homes after the integration of the three networks in the future will usher in a period of rapid development. Smart homes at that time have a convenient and efficient network transmission environment and can realize more diversified functions such as home entertainment, security, and education. , online shopping, online medical, and so on, the function is more intelligent and humanized, and brings more comfortable and intelligent experience for people's family life.

Tri-network convergence can open up different control terminals. The smart home system is no longer limited to the traditional intelligent terminal control. The system builds a more powerful terminal platform. TVs, computers, mobile phones, and Zigbee remote controllers at home can all serve as control terminals. , Anytime, anywhere can communicate with the home's electrical equipment barrier-free communication, home appliance fault information can also be automatically diagnosed through the network and uploaded to the service center, enjoy remote maintenance. Digital entertainment, online games, mobile games, mobile media, mobile TV and other video entertainment will be greatly developed. Through the triple play, it will also derive richer value-added service types, such as teletext, VOIP, video mail, and online games, to expand the scope of business provision.

For example, Fujian Guanlin's new-generation smart home system, through this system, can not only achieve security monitoring, intelligent home appliance control, but also can achieve many facilitation functions such as making reservations for fast food, booking elevators, and online VOD video on demand. , but also through the mobile platform for remote operation. For example, in the summer, before going home, you can use the mobile platform (pre-installed the Guanlin operating platform) to let the air conditioner turn on the air conditioner first; in winter, the water heater can be turned on beforehand. When you are on a business trip in the field, you can remotely check your home situation through your mobile phone or log on to the Internet. When an emergency such as an illegal invasion or fire occurs at home, the system will automatically alert you and link it with the property center or 110 to resolve the inconvenience of handling home emergencies in other places. Troubled.

This smart home system also enables more diversified functions such as community shopping and community services. For example, at home, you can get product information through the “Internet of Things” and enjoy door-to-door service, medical service information, and water and electricity supply information to truly realize an intelligent community and an intelligent life.

Faced with the "triple play" smart home companies need to break through the bottleneck to successfully integrate with the three networks, so that smart homes are widely used and development, need to crack the following problems:

1. Master the core technology of the product, because the high cost is bound to hinder the popularization of smart home.

2. With regard to technical standards, the development of the smart home industry will involve cross-industry communications and cooperation. The lack of guidelines for development standards and technical standards must be accelerated. Due to the lack of a unified industry standard, marketing in this way will be very difficult and difficult. Form industrial scale benefits. In the smart home industry where Guanlin is located, there are still many problems in terms of standardized interfaces and communication protocols. All manufacturers are independent of each other and their products cannot be compatible with each other, leaving a lot of obstacles for the popularization of smart homes. Therefore, Guanlin is actively involved in the formulation of technical specifications for the national smart home products, hoping that this standard will be introduced early and promote the healthy development of the entire smart home industry.

3. With regard to industrialization, the smart home industry will inevitably require the cooperation of upstream and downstream manufacturers such as chip vendors, sensor manufacturers, system solution manufacturers, and mobile operators, and smart homes will be formed in the context of various interest mechanisms and business models not yet formed. Popularization will take some time.

In addition, the stability and security of smart home products can not be ignored. In addition to the security issues of the transmission network, smart home systems require a large number of devices such as sensors and application terminals. How to ensure the normal use of devices and the right devices Effective monitoring is also a key issue to consider.

Under the triple play, the competition in the smart home market will become fiercer. In addition to traditional smart home manufacturers and intercom companies, telecom operators are also very optimistic about the digital home market, and have launched corresponding solutions such as “Smart Home”. The entry of operators into the intercom and smart home market is both an opportunity for the intercom industry and a challenge for the entire industry. It can be predicted that with the intervention of operators, the intercom industry will be rapidly integrated and products will be more standardized. With the standardization of products, the competition in the future will be even fiercer. The previous 10 companies may only have 4 or 5 companies left. Moreover, these companies may not necessarily be traditional intercom companies, but may be other communications. Industry or IT companies. Faced with a more severe competition situation in the future, we are very confident in this market. We also hope that the entire intercom industry will keep up with the digital development trend, jointly promote the development of the digital home market, continuously launch products that meet market demands, and jointly cope with Fierce competition in the market.
