The House of the Future--The author briefly talks about the development trend of residential intelligent technology: Summary by Wang Fang and Chen Shilong: In the "information technology, informatization, and information age", let's talk about "residential intelligence" and the current problems and development trends of residential intelligence. keywords: Residential Intelligent Network Information Today, when fashion words such as "information technology, informatization, information age" and even the combination of local and foreign "IT technology" are flooded in various media, people are consciously or unconsciously trying to connect everything in their lives with the word "information". This should be said to be the general trend of the times and future development. For the current real estate industry, information, broadband, and intelligence are also the hottest selling points. They are the focus of real estate developers' enthusiasm for speculation and management. Some real estate developers even claim that the intelligence of residences is just like the faucets at home, a necessity of life. So, is residential intelligence, like informatization, an inevitable trend in the current and future development of the real estate industry? The meaning of residential intelligence First, let us understand what exactly "residential intelligence" is. In this concept, "intelligence" should be positioned in a broad sense, which includes convenient, fast, and free acquisition of information, automatic classification and storage of information, new multimedia transmission methods, automatic home control, and residential security functions at multiple levels. for example: Install gas leak detectors in residential kitchens to detect indoor gas leaks ； Install sensor curtains on windows to automatically open and close based on time and sunlight intensity. ； Install an image or voice recognition device at the door of a residence to automatically identify the owner, open the door, etc. Rather than the so-called "intelligence" in a simple sense like the security systems, broadband home access, background music, etc. that many product manufacturers, system integrators, and real estate developers spare no effort to promote with great fanfare. In short, residential intelligence is to provide convenient and fast various open information for home life in the information age, save human labor and energy in housework, expand home entertainment content and space, and make life more convenient and safer. Its ultimate goal is to make people's living environment safer, more comfortable, more convenient, and more humane. Current Issues in Residential Intelligentization Since residential intelligence contains many contents, there are also many new technologies being applied. Although everyone is currently talking about residential intelligence, it is still limited to residential control automation, residential security, information appliances, broadband home access, etc. People are still unable to truly feel the benefits of intelligence in their daily lives. In fact, from the perspective of future development and actual use, residential intelligence cannot exist independently of factors such as the building environment, home decoration, living environment, and residents. It must be human-centered and combine existing information technology, communication technology, automation technology, and information appliance technology to provide comprehensive and high-quality services for home life in the information age. Market research shows: The five issues that people are most concerned about when buying a house are:: Housing prices, location, property management, unit type and environment, the smart concept that has been highly hyped in the industry are not the focus at all. The reason for this is that one of the most critical issues is: At present, most property management levels in the industry are still at a relatively low level, and the concept and role of intelligent property management have not been fully understood, understood, digested, or even put into concrete practice. The perfect realization of residential intelligent functions cannot exist independently of property management. The most intuitive result is that residential intelligence cannot truly bring various visible benefits to home buyers. Of course, there are many reasons for this situation. First of all, the domestic economic development level and people's general living standards have not reached a relatively high level. They are still at the stage of solving the living space for most people. How to improve the living environment and the quality of housing has not been regarded as a key problem to be solved. Secondly, the technological development level of domestic residential intelligence is relatively low. Various manufacturers, various technologies, and various standards work independently. There is no unified and standardized technical solution standard, let alone an overall solution to related technical problems from an integration perspective. At the same time, the current functions of residential intelligence are relatively simple. Apart from receiving information, simple home appliance control and security precautions, there are no truly mature and practical functions. The smart functions of many home appliances themselves are not integrated into the smart home at all. Finally, and most importantly: Residential intelligence is a cross-industry, multi-professional coordinated system project that requires collaboration between manufacturers and companies in various industries and relevant service and management functional departments. Instead of the current situation where each manufacturer and company works independently and is not related to each other, relevant management and service measures are seriously lagging behind and difficult to standardize. This has resulted in the embarrassing situation where residential intelligence is currently blooming everywhere with no results. Trends in the development of intelligent residences Although there are currently all the above-mentioned problems and contradictions in the construction of intelligent residences, one thing is beyond doubt and undeniable: With the rapid development of computer technology, information technology, and network technology and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people will pay more and more attention to the comfort, safety, and convenience of their living environment, and the convenience, flexibility, and speed of obtaining internal and external information. These needs are providing broad development space and historic development opportunities for the intelligent construction of residential buildings. Therefore it is foreseeable: There is great potential for intelligent residential construction in the future. According to the current technological development status and direction, the author believes that residential intelligent technology will have the following development trends: 1. The home-based Internet network. This trend is being verified by many facts: In 2001, the construction of community broadband networks, which was hyped up by developers and ISPs, was essentially the introduction of previous office LAN and campus network technologies into communities and then into households. In addition, the content of Internet websites and web pages will gradually become more personalized and professional, with professional websites and web content specifically targeting family life and individual objects in the family (such as housewives, the elderly, children, etc.) appearing, such as: Professional property management, business services, life services, educational services, medical services, entertainment services, etc. 2. Popularization of information appliances. With the development of technology, household appliances will become more and more information-based and integrated. Home appliance manufacturers improve the automation level of home appliances and improve their functions by implanting increasingly powerful microcomputer chips into their products. Moreover, with the technological development of embedded operating systems and the standardization of application platforms, there will be more and more types of information appliances products, more powerful functions, and higher integration levels. The future home computer will no longer be a simple information processing and storage device. It may integrate digital TV, audio, video phone and other functions into one, becoming a veritable home information terminal device. Interactive TV, VOD on demand, Internet surfing, etc. will all become basic functions. At present, many companies have listed information appliances as their next key development plans, such as Microsoft's ".net" plan and Lenovo's ".home" plan. The purpose is to transform the traditional information technology industry into the information appliance industry, because there are unlimited business opportunities and a broad market. 3. Technical applications of home networks and residential automation control systems. The emergence of integrated home networks is the inevitable result of the continuous improvement and practical application of residential intelligence and information products. Because the realization of all smart product functions depends on the transmission of information, the transmission medium is indispensable. However, there are currently no unified technical standards and industry specifications in China. Various technologies and protocols are incompatible with each other, resulting in a complicated and messy wiring network in the residence. This not only increases investment and causes unnecessary waste, but also increases the difficulty of management and maintenance. A comprehensive home network with unified protocols and unified media will fundamentally solve these problems and is a foreseeable development trend. A unified network will inevitably require a unified automation control system to achieve intelligent residential control with complete functions, good operability, and high utilization value. It is believed that with the popularization of information appliances and the further improvement of home networks, residential automation control systems will become more and more mature. 4. Intelligent and networked property management. In future smart communities and residences, with the full application of many intelligent system functions, the level and quality of property management will be greatly improved. * * Reduce management and operating costs, benefiting both property management companies and residents. for example: Through the application of intelligent systems, the security and protection capabilities of communities and residences have been improved, the management of community equipment and facilities has become more effective, and comprehensive and information services for community residents have become more convenient and faster, etc. At the same time, the intelligent application of residences and communities and the intelligent management of many businesses of property companies have made many management data and service contents informatized, creating convenient conditions for networked management of properties and making remote, remote, and centralized management of properties possible. This has enabled high-quality, high-level property companies to expand their service scale and increase their service means, so that they can provide residents with higher-quality and more content-based services and management.
