The current situation is that smart home is not limited to the corresponding functions of intelligent home furnishing such as switching equipment , regulation and remote control . Real intelligent home furnishing not only can realize inter connection , interchange and inter control , but also has to own a strong learning ability which can achieve environmental regulation , atmosphere building and health management according to the users daily living habit , interest and hobby , triggering the corresponding functions . On one hand , the nest thermostat developed by nest labs which was a smart home equipment provider purchased early this year is wiser than the real smart home equipment of Xiaomi.
The real smart home furnishings are not only limited to the thermostat regulating temperature at home . They include smart lock ,electric curtain , smart socket , intelligent switch , intelligent lighting , smoke detector , air purifier and background music system . Such instances are legion . In the process of operation , the most important function of the equipment is not controlling , but the collecting of data , the exchanging of information and the conversing of the function . In other words , the real smart home furnishing faces massive data processing problems.
In the era of big data , each person is the contributor to the producing of data . It is expected that the amount of information produced by a common Chinese family till 2020 is equal to half information storage of a state library . In the era of internet , browsing the web , searching for information , maintaining social relationship by QQ and online shopping will produce huge amount of data . In the era of intelligent life , every move of people will produce data and the amount of data is much more than that on the internet .
In the family , the data generated by the users every move will have a corresponding smart home devices to record , collect and re apply them in smart home devices after processing , so that they are jointly wiser and more intelligent .
Intelligent home furnishing will generate big data and it is an important applying field of big data . Otherwise it will likely stagnate . Big data generated at home can make intelligent home furnishing jointly wiser , but to make effective treatment according to the actual situation . It is not to wipe out all data , but to make effective treatment according to the actual situation. Cloud technology will play an important role , in fact , cloud and big data also have very close ties.
Cloud computing and big data are the two sides of a coin. Cloud computing is the basis of big data and big data is a killer application of big data . Cloud computing is the driving force for the growth of big data . On the other hand , more and more data need cloud computing to deal with , therefore , cloud computing and data are complementary to each other . If there is no cloud technology to collect , store ,analyze and transform , the huge amount of data generated in a family will be dis-orderly , messy and useless . It has no positive role in improving the intelligence of smart home .
Cloud computing gives smart home equipment an unprecedented computing power and growth capacity . It can effectively analyze and memorize at the first time the users home intelligent device data and information , get the corresponding law in turn and apply it to intelligent devices to enhance the smart effect of smart home equipment .
Instead , if you put aside the cloud , smart home is just pure smart home device . It does not have strong information processing capacity and appears mechanical which can not be regarded as really smart . In fact , for a smart home business , even if the equipment researched , developed and produced by it is a single product , the covering breadth of its home range also requires that it have powerful data and information processing ability , so as to ensure the smooth operation of all the equipment in the following period .
In the future , cloud computing will penetrate into every corner of our lives inside , triggering the complete change in the various industries , including health care , urban planning , energy , electronic retail and entertainment industry . Smart home is actually home networking . Through the cloud computing , it makes the family social networks , news channels , data analysis , even government be linked with each other completely . Under the support of cloud , everything is possible . As a massive data processing platform , cloud storage , cloud computing and cloud technology not only do help to the stability and reliability of smart home , but also play important role in the overall promotion of smart home .
