What can big models bring to smart homes?

Zhidongxi reported in Hangzhou on July 24 that following the launch of its self-developed large model at the end of June, EZVIZ, a well-known smart home company under Hikvision, today launched a series of major software and hardware updates.

EZVIZ has launched its first smart health watch, WA1S, which is equipped with EZVIZ HomePlay OS, a 520mAh battery that supports 14 days of battery life, and is connected to the EZVIZ Blue Ocean large model, with both smart health monitoring and home smart control functions. WA1S supports health monitoring in terms of heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep quality, etc., and can be connected to peripherals to solve monitoring problems such as blood sugar and blood pressure.

At the same time, EZVIZ launched the smart home AI host - EZVIZ Tianji, which solves many pain points faced by smart home scenarios, such as difficulty in device interconnection and unstable control, from the three aspects of storage, computing and control. Connected to the Blue Ocean Big Model, the device also supports functions such as multi-modal interaction analysis.

In terms of software, EZVIZ released a new Smart Home App, introducing new experiences such as 3D space display, smart housekeeper based on large models, seven smart applications, etc., making smart home software more spatial, intelligent and simple.

EZVIZ has also comprehensively upgraded its product ecosystem and proposed a new “2+5+N” ecological architecture.

At today's EZVIZ new product launch and exhibition, Zhang Hang, head of EZVIZ's smart AI host products, accepted an interview with Zhidongxi.

Why did EZVIZ choose host products as the entry point to implement large-scale models in whole-house intelligence?

Zhang Hang told Zhidongxi that there are many devices in smart homes, with various functions and difficult brand integration, and a single product often cannot solve scene system problems, so the team wanted to solve the problem of lack of unified system solutions in complex scenes when making this product. The smart home AI host adopts an end-cloud collaborative framework. The cloud-based large model provides solutions for complex scene problems, and some simple problems are solved by local small model algorithms. The entire link is encrypted and protected, so users don't have to worry about security issues.

What new stories can the big model bring to whole-house intelligence?

Zhang Hang said that from the perspective of application scenarios, in addition to basic conversational interactions, the team is pushing the big model to be implemented in more different scenarios, such as penetrating into home lighting adjustment scenarios, adding some intelligent recommendations and other more concrete interactions based on the big model, etc. It is like a smarter smart butler.

1. The smartwatch has a 14-day battery life, you can check your blood sugar by raising your hand, and it is equipped with an AI assistant

In terms of appearance, the newly launched EZVIZ smart health watch WA1S is equipped with a high-definition AMOLED screen, an integrated fluororubber strap, and 316L food-grade stainless steel to create a comfortable, beautiful and durable wearing experience.

In terms of health monitoring functions, WA1S supports multi-dimensional monitoring such as heart rate, blood, body surface temperature, sleep quality and HRV pressure. The comprehensive accuracy of WA1S 24-hour heart rate monitoring reaches 95.02%, and the blood oxygen monitoring hypoxia detection rate reaches 94.62%, which is higher than the level of its peers.

Monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar and ECG is more complicated.

The products currently on the market have problems such as discomfort, inconvenience and inaccuracy. For example, blood pressure monitoring has the blood pressure cuff attached to the watch strap, which is very uncomfortable; blood sugar monitoring is mostly based on optical sensors and algorithm simulation, and the measurements are inaccurate.

In this regard, EZVIZ advocates that professionals should do professional work.

Through cooperative development and ecological access, EZVIZ has connected three professional medical devices, including an integrated upper arm blood pressure monitor, a dynamic electrocardiogram monitor, and a dynamic blood glucose meter, to the smart health watch WA1S. Through Bluetooth connection and data transmission, the watch can obtain medical-grade physiological data transmitted by professional equipment, thereby improving the accuracy of monitoring.

In terms of blood pressure measurement, EZVIZ has proposed a personalized blood pressure algorithm model, which is continuously calibrated and trained based on the results of each measurement, and is more accurate than traditional upper arm blood pressure measurement.

In terms of ECG measurement, EZVIZ has launched 24-hour ECG monitoring, extending the monitoring period. The detector weighs only 9 grams and is 6mm thick. It is easy to wear and supports instant alarms. It also provides accurate and understandable monitoring reports.

In terms of blood sugar monitoring, EZVIZ integrates continuous blood glucose meters (CGMs) and watches, allowing users to obtain a real-time blood sugar value every 5 minutes, which can be viewed by raising their hands. It supports 14 days of continuous monitoring and blood sugar management at any time.

EZVIZ combines smart watches and these three peripherals into a health management package and integrates it into EZVIZ's home-based elderly care services.

In home scenarios, many of EZVIZ’s devices can already ensure the safety of the elderly when going out; when they are out, they need watches to provide protection, including travel protection, fall detection, SOS alarm emergency calls, independent calls, health data sharing and many other functions.

On the EZVIZ Health App, users can see various relevant monitoring conditions and physical health data.

It is also worth mentioning that the EZVIZ smartwatch is also a smart home control watch, or a convenient smart home control screen. For example, it supports door locks, doorbells, peephole intercoms, and abnormal situation alarms by raising your hand.

In the future, EZVIZ smart watches will be more closely integrated with various smart home devices.

Looking back, the EZVIZ smartwatch has many basic functions, including a 520mAh large-capacity battery with a battery life of 14 days in pure Bluetooth mode; support for independent eSIM cards, and many other functions such as gesture control, payment codes, and ride codes.

The EZVIZ smartwatch can now be connected to the EZVIZ Blue Ocean model, which will bring more interesting interactions and experiences.

2. Smart home AI host plays with "storage, computing and control" and accesses the blue ocean big model

Smart homes often face six major problems: clutter, lack, trouble, insufficiency, poor quality, and inadequate. For example, files are complex and cannot be stored and retrieved for a long time; audio and video equipment cannot be linked with smart devices; device control is unstable; and it cannot be controlled offline.

Generally speaking, users need to purchase a variety of terminals to solve problems in various scenarios. There is no unified solution to solve the overall problem, and the consistency and stability of the system are not guaranteed.

EZVIZ solves this problem from three aspects: storage, computing, and control, and officially launches the EZVIZ smart home AI host - EZVIZ Tianji.

The EZVIZ smart home AI host is based on EZVIZ HomePlay OS, combined with the end-cloud collaborative framework, to achieve the integration of three major centers and use AI to upgrade the whole house intelligent solution.
