Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

In the afternoon, Wang Yi came to the Xingyi Smart Home R&D laboratory.

I happened to see Sun Shengyu, head of Xingyi's intelligent department, testing the sensor with R&D personnel:

"This human motion sensor still has some problems. It's not sensitive enough and even a little bit stupid! How can such a rubbish product be launched?"

"Our intelligent department is responsible for external intelligent empowerment. Once this kind of junk product is launched on the market, won't it ruin our reputation?"

“Review the game as soon as possible to see if it’s a hardware problem or an algorithm problem! If we can’t solve it, we’ll all work overtime!”

Hearing this, Wang Yi smiled.

Other sensors are easy to handle, but the human motion sensor is the most difficult.

It's simple. It's easy for human motion sensors to sense moving objects, but when a person sits still, they become blind.

The simplest one is that if you go in and out of the toilet frequently and don’t want to turn the light on and off every time, you can use the human motion sensor to link the toilet light.

When a person walks to the toilet door, the sensor senses the movement of the person and turns on the light immediately.

When a person leaves, the sensor will turn off the light immediately if it does not sense human movement for two minutes.

But when a person squats, the movement is very small. The person is still there, but the sensor cannot sense it and directly turns off the light, leaving the user in the dark!

It's not just awkward.

Why does Wang Yi know so much?

In the past, the human body sensor launched by Xiaomi looked like this.

Not to mention squatting, even when Wang Yi was taking a shower, he would not sense human movement and would just turn off the lights.

Even if the light is set to turn off if no one moves for two minutes, it won’t work.

The movement is too small to be sensed.

Sometimes the towel fluttering in the wind can cause a false sense and turn on the light.

It can be said that the human body motion sensor is indeed the most difficult one to develop.

Wang Yi patted Sun Shengyu on the shoulder. Sun Shengyu, who had his back to Wang Yi, realized that Wang Yi was here and said quickly:

"Chairman, I..."

"It's okay, just continue." Wang Yi said with a smile.

Sun Shengyu nodded and said, "Chairman, after our research and development, we have now developed multi-functional gateways, temperature and humidity sensors, water immersion sensors, door and window sensors, natural gas alarm sensors, and smoke sensors."

These sensors are not technically difficult and are easy to develop. They are also essential sensors for smart homes.

"But the effect of this human presence sensor is far from ideal and it is not sensitive enough."

Wang Yi nodded: "It's already done very well. As for the human motion sensor, it is indeed difficult. Different scenarios require different sensitivities, and it is difficult to be one-size-fits-all. It is better to open the sensitivity permissions to users and let users adjust them according to the scene requirements they set. Of course, we will also launch several recommended sensitivity levels."

Sun Shengyu's eyes lit up: "Great! This way, users can set their own settings and achieve the most accurate adjustment. Most importantly, if it is not sensitive, users will think it is a problem with their settings, not our product."

"Yes, that's it!" Wang Yi continued:

"This human motion sensor is an infrared sensor, so its sensitivity is not high. We can also develop a more advanced human presence sensor that can actively detect human bodies through millimeter-wave radar, even if they are still. The cost may be a little higher, but if it is mass-produced, the cost can be spread out to less than 50 yuan, and it can be sold in physical stores for 159 yuan, which is still fine."

"Millimeter wave radar!" Sun Shengyu fell into deep thought and said after a long while, "This plan is good. Why didn't I think of it?"

"Chairman, you are more professional than us in developing smart homes."

Wang Yi waved his hand: "I'm just making a suggestion. You guys have to figure out the specific solution!"

Originally, the smart home industry only had one department, Xingyi Smart Home, headed by Meng Qingzhen, who was responsible for the research and development of new smart devices.

For example, the Xiao Ai AI speaker, a product created from scratch, is a product of the Xingyi Smart Home Department.

The intelligent department that was established later helps users and third-party brands achieve intelligence and provides equipment and solutions, which can be regarded as an intelligent empowerment department.

Sun Shengyu is a top talent specially recruited by the Xingyi Technology headhunting team.

A typical R&D maniac, whenever Wang Yi raised a requirement, he would immediately take people to work on it without saying a word.

Wang Yi admires this kind of talent very much.

The cooperation with George is even more appropriate.

"Chairman, I will design the human presence sensor as soon as possible and start working on it as soon as possible!"

"it is good."

"By the way, Chairman, we have also developed the other sensors and equipment you requested. This way, please."

Sun Shengyu walked to the next room and said, "Chairman, look, this is the wireless switch you requested. Through the gateway and smart home linkage, this wireless switch can control the corresponding appliances, and through setting, one switch can control multiple appliances."

"For example, press once to control the bedroom light switch, and double-click to control the living room light."

"We have also developed Lingdong switches, smart sockets, and air conditioner companions."

Wang Yi was very satisfied. He had instructed on these things several months ago.

It was originally developed by the Xingyi Smart Home Department, and later the Intelligent Department was separated out. These things are more suitable for the Intelligent Department, so the relevant R&D teams were assigned to the Intelligent Department.

With the addition of Sun Shengyu, the research and development progress has made great progress.

After all, the head of the department personally takes charge of research and development, so other R&D engineers dare not slack off.

Of course, the previous slow progress was not due to the fact that Meng Qingzhen, the head of Xingyi Zhijia, was not paying attention.

On the contrary, as the head of Xingyi Smart Home, Meng Qingzhen focuses most of his energy on the research and development of the more important Xingyi Smart Home ecosystem and Xiaoai Speakers, and naturally has no time to take care of these sensors.

Thanks to Meng Qingzhen, the Xingyi Smart Home Ecosystem and Xiao Ai Speakers were successfully produced.

Now with the joining of Sun Shengyu and the establishment of the intelligent department, it is like having an extra horse pulling the cart, so the efficiency of both large and small projects has soared.

The output of these devices can better empower traditional non-smart home appliances with intelligence!

There are two paths for the development of smart homes. One path is Xingyi Smart Home, which directly develops new intelligent products, such as smart speakers, smart air conditioners, smart TVs, etc., to fundamentally realize intelligence.

This requires launching new products and users have to buy new products.

Another path is Xingyi intelligence, which, through intelligent empowerment, transforms traditional non-smart home appliances in users' homes into smart appliances and connects them to Xingyi Smart Home!

The infrared function of Xiao Ai speaker can make nearby air conditioners, TVs, lights and other devices that support infrared remote control intelligent through infrared matching codes and connect them to Xingyi Smart Home.

But the Xiao Ai speaker is expensive, costing 1399 yuan per unit, and its infrared control range is limited.

The Xiao Ai speaker in the bedroom can control the infrared appliances in the bedroom, but it is out of reach to control the infrared appliances in the living room.

For this reason, some users will buy multiple Xiao Ai speakers at one time, one for each room.

But the cost is high and it is only suitable for wealthy users.
