Smart Home (English: Smart Home, Home) is a platform with residential platform, using comprehensive wiring technology, network communication technology, security prevention technology, automatic control technology, audio and video technology to integrate home life -related facilities to build efficient residential facilities and facilities and facilities and efficient residential facilities and facilities The management system of family schedules improves home safety, convenience, comfort, and artistic, and realizes environmental protection and energy -saving living environment.
The development background editing Sminton home is the embodiment of Internet of Internet of the Internet under the influence of the Internet. Smart Home uses the various equipment in the home through the Internet of Things technology (such as audio and video equipment, lighting systems, curtain control, air conditioning control, security system, digital theater system, audiovisual cabinet system, online home appliances, etc.) to provide it, providing providing, providing it, providing providing Home appliance control, lighting control, telephone remote control, indoor and outdoor remote control, anti -theft alarm, environmental monitoring, HVAC, infrared forwarding, and programmable timing control. Compared with ordinary home furnishings, smart homes not only have traditional living functions, but also have both construction, network communications, information and appliances, and equipment automation, provide comprehensive information interactive functions, and even save funds for various energy costs. The concept of smart homes was very early, but there was no specific construction cases. Until 1984, the U.S. United Technology Company (UNITED Building System) applied the concept of informationization and integration of construction equipment to Connecticut, USA (). At the time of Hartford, the first “smart building” appeared, and the prelude to the world ’s rushing to build a smart home.
. Home Automation (Home)
The home automation refers to the use of micro -processing electronic technology to integrate or control the electronic appliances or systems in the home Coffee furnaces, computer equipment, security systems, heating and air -conditioning systems, video and audio systems. The home automation system is mainly to receive information from related electronic electronics products (changes in the external environmental factors, such as changes in light or west falls, etc.) by receiving information from the central micro -processor unit (CPU). Send appropriate information to other electronic appliances with established procedures. The central micro -processing machine must control the electrical products in the home through many interfaces. These interfaces can be a keyboard or a touch screen, buttons, computers, telephone, remote control, etc.; Consumers can send signals to central micro -processing The machine, or receiving signals from the central micro -processing machine. The family automation is an important system of smart homes. When smart homes first appeared, family automation was even equivalent to smart homes. Today it is still one of the core of smart homes, but as network technology has smart home Universal application, the maturity of online appliances/information appliances, many product functions of home automation will be integrated into these new products, so that simple home automation products will become less and less in the system design, and its core position will be by the family network/ Instead of home information system. It will play a role in the control network in the home network in smart homes. The most famous home automation system is the X-10 of the United States.
. The family network (Home)
First of all, everyone must separate this family network from the pure “family LAN”. We will also mention ” The name of Family LAN/Family Internal Network “refers to the PC, various peripherals and network systems connecting the family in the family, and it is just a part of the family network. Family network is a new technology that connects PC, home appliances, security systems, lighting systems, and wide -area networks within the family scope (extended to neighbors, communities). The connection technology currently adopted by the family network can be divided into two categories: “wired” and “wireless”. The wired scheme mainly includes: twisted or coaxial cable connection, telephone line connection, power line connection, etc.; Wireless solutions mainly include: infrared connection, radio connection, RF technology connection, and PC -based wireless connection. The family network compared to the traditional office network, many home application products and systems have been added, such as home appliance equipment and lighting systems. Therefore, the corresponding technical standards are also intricate. This involves too many well -known online manufacturers and The interests of home appliance manufacturers will introduce various technical standards in the intelligent home technology chapter. The development trend of the family network is to integrate other systems in smart homes, and eventually unify the world.
. Network home appliances
The network appliances are new home appliances that use digital technology, network technology and intelligent control technology to improve ordinary household appliances. Network appliances can achieve an internal network of family, and this family network can be connected to the external Internet. It can be seen that the network appliance technology includes two levels: the first is the interconnection between home appliances, that is, enables different home appliances to identify and work together. The second level is to solve the communication between the home appliance network and the external network, making the home appliance network in the family truly an extension of the external network. It to achieve interconnection and information exchange between appliances, it is necessary to solve: 1. Product model describing the working characteristics of the home appliances, so that the exchange of data has a specific meaning; 2. The network medium for information transmission. In the difficulty of solving the network media, the optional solutions are: power lines, wireless radio frequency, twisted twisted cables, coaxial cables, infrared, fiber. The more feasible network appliances include network refrigerators, network air conditioners, network washing machines, network water heaters, network microwave ovens, network cookers, etc. The future direction of online appliances is also fully integrated into the family network.
. Information home appliances (3C or IA)
If information and appliances should be a low -cost, easy operation, strong practicality, and PC’s main features Essence Using computers, telecommunications and electronic technology and traditional appliances (including white home appliances: refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, etc., and black home appliances: TV, video recorder, audio, VCD, DVD, etc.), it is for digitalization and network technology New home appliances designed more widely into family life. Information appliances include PC, set -top box, HPC, DVD, super VCD, wireless data communication equipment, video game equipment, WebTV, Internet phone, etc. Home appliances can be called information appliances. Audio, video and communication equipment are the main components of information appliances. On the other hand, on the basis of traditional home appliances, information technology integrates information technology into traditional home appliances, making its functions stronger, simpler, convenient and practical, and creating a higher quality living environment for family life. For example, simulation TV develops into a digital TV, VCD becomes DVD, and refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, etc. will also become digital, networked, and intelligent information appliances. If in the general classification, information and home appliance products actually include online home appliances, but if defined from the definition of narrow sense, we can do this simple classification: information appliances more finger with embedded processing processing process The small home (personal) information device of the device, its basic feature is connected to the network (mainly the Internet) and has some specific functions. It can be a complete set of products or auxiliary accessories. The online home appliances refer to a home appliance product with network operation functions. This home appliance can be understood as the upgrade of our original home appliances. The information and home appliances are composed of embedded processors, related support hardware (such as graphics cards, storage media, IC cards or credit cards, etc.), embedded operating systems, and software packaging of the application layer. Information appliances decompose some functions of the PC, and designed it as a stronger and more applied appliance -based product, making the pace of ordinary residents’ step -by -person information era. It is a LNTERNET with high performance, low price, and easy operation characteristics tool. The emergence of information appliances will promote the rise of the family network market, and at the same time, the development of the home network market will in turn promote the popularization of information and appliances and the deep application of information.
Development opportunities
Smart home is an inevitable trend in the development of the home furnishing field in the future. Although market promotion has just begun, the competition in the industry is already fierce. Five companies are engaged in development in this regard. The manufacturing enterprises need to be used in big data in industrial adjustment and transformation. In the future, data will become the fourth productive forces to promote social progress. The market potential is huge. At the same time, the big data analysis relying on smart home furnishings is also an important way for traditional manufacturing companies to transform and upgrade.
In design concepts
The development of smart home control is the design concept and operator’s mentality. If you only pay attention to the signing order, do not set up your own place for customers, do not take into account the intelligent resolution of future development, provide one -sided smart home solution, instead of considering the applicability of customers. The application effect of smart homes is not conducive to the development of the entire smart home industry. The operators of the smart home control system must be based on the concept of consumer supremacy. Based on the mentality of starting from the interests of the customer, with a serious, responsible, and honest attitude, they really start from the actual needs of customers and serve themselves. Make smart home control design and solutions for customers, make the project well, so that customers to spend the least money to maximize the benefits are the way of enterprise development and the development of the smart home industry.
C design principles
If the success of the intelligent system of a residential community, does not depend only on the amount of intelligent system, the advancedness or integration of the system, but Depending on whether the system design and configuration are economical, whether the system can run successfully, whether the system use, management and maintenance are convenient, whether the system or product technology is mature and applicable. Realize the way to get the greatest effect and achieve a convenient and high -quality life. In order to achieve the above goals, the following principles must be followed when the smart home system design is designed: . Practical convenience The most basic goal of smart home is to provide people with a comfortable, safe, convenient and efficient. living environment. For smart home products, the most important thing is to use practicality as the core, abandon the functions of those Chinese but not true, and can only be used for furnishings. The product is mainly practical, ease of use and humanity. Is when designing the smart home system, according to the user’s needs for smart home functions, the following most practical and basic home control functions should be integrated: including smart home appliance control, smart light control, electric curtain control, anti -theft alarm, access control pairs of access control, and access control. Speaking, gas leakage, etc. At the same time, it can also expand service value -added functions such as three -table copying and video on -demand. The control methods of many personalized smart homes are rich and diverse, such as: local control, remote control, centralized control, remote control of mobile phone, induction control, network control, timing control, etc. It is to allow people to get rid of tedious transactions and improve it, improve it Efficiency, if the operation process and program settings are too cumbersome, it is easy to cause users to reject the psychology. Therefore, when designing the smart home, we must fully consider the user experience and pay attention to the convenience and intuitiveness of the operation. It is best to use a graphical image -based control interface to allow the operation of the operation. . Reliability The intelligent subsystems of the entire building should be able to run 24 hours. The safety, reliability and fault -tolerant ability of the system must be highly valued. For each subsystem, we take corresponding fault tolerance measures in the aspects of power supply and system backup to ensure the normal safe use of the system, good quality, and performance, and have the ability to cope with various complex environmental changes. . Standardity The design of the smart home system scheme shall be carried out in accordance with relevant national and regional standards to ensure the expansion and scalability of the system. , Ensure that systems can be compatible and interconnected. The front -end device of the system is a multifunctional, open, and expanded device. For example, system hosts, terminals and modules adopt a standardized interface design to provide a platform for the external manufacturers of home intelligent systems, and their functions can be expanded. When the function is needed, there is no need to excavate the pipe network, which is simple and reliable. The design and selected systems and products can make this system interconnect with third -party controlled equipment that is constantly developing in the future. . Convenience Whether the wiring installation is simple directly related to cost, scalability, and maintenance. Be sure to choose a simple system. Easy; easy to learn, operate, and maintain simple in equipment. The convenient design of the system in engineering installation and commissioning is also very important. Family intelligence has a significant feature, that is, the workload of installation, commissioning and maintenance is very large. It requires a lot of manpower and material investment to become a bottleneck to restrict the development of the industry. In response to this problem, the system should consider the convenience of installation and maintenance when designing. For example, the system can remotely debug and maintain through the Internet. Through the Internet, not only the control function of the household intelligent system is allowed to achieve the control function of the family intelligence system, but also allows engineers to diagnose the failure of the system in the remote inspection system. In this way, the system settings and version updates can be performed in different places, which greatly facilitates the application and maintenance of the system, improves the response speed, and reduces maintenance costs. five, lightweight “lightweight” smart home products, as the name suggests, it is a lightweight smart home system. “Simple”, “practical”, and “dexterity” are its main features and the biggest differences with traditional smart home systems. Therefore, we generally do not need to be established. The functions can be freely matched and the price is relatively cheap. The smart home products that can be directly sold by the final consumer are called “lightweight” smart home products.
In April 5, 2012, the classification basis of the “Smart Home System Product Classification Guidance Manual” of the Intelligent Home System Products Association of the China Interior Decoration Association, a total of 20 categories of smart home system products: [5] control host (centralized controller): Smarthome Control Center. Is intelligent lighting system. Lighting system (ILS). The appliance control system. Appratus Control SysStatem (EACS). Family background music. Whole Home Audio (WHA). home theater system.
