It is reported that the visual capabilities of AliGenie 2.0 include image recognition, face recognition, and object detection. Equipped with the new version of "Tmall Genie" becomes the first smart speaker that can "see". However, Tmall Elf did not launch a "speaker with screen", but launched the "Elf Fire Eye" function: through the XHolder peripherals and the "Elf Fire Eye" application, users can connect their mobile phones to become a Tmall Elf. Add a screen.

"Elf Fire Eye" initially launched functions such as reading and identifying pill boxes. For example, for children's use scenes, "Elf Fire Eye" cooperated with a publishing house to select 117 sets of books suitable for children from 3 to 8 years old. For the elderly use scenes, "Elf Fire Eye" launched the function of identifying pill boxes, which can identify 40,000 types of pill boxes, and can broadcast the name, efficacy, expiration date and other information of the medicine by voice as long as it is scanned.

According to Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Lab, the ultimate form of smart speakers is a home robot. From “listening” and “speaking” to “visual interaction” and then to “action”, Alibaba hopes to accelerate this evolution by introducing visual capabilities. .

It is understood that the Tmall Genie has been on the market for more than 200 days, that is, sales of 2 million units have been achieved. In the global market, it took more than a year for Amazon ECHO, the best-selling smart speaker, to reach this number. It can be seen that the development of China's smart speaker market is very rapid.

In China, artificial intelligence is driving the "Hundred Box Wars". At present, there are many types of smart speakers but their functions are converging. According to Qian Xue, the head of Alibaba's artificial intelligence laboratory, this situation will not last long. Most products without technical input and ecological construction will die out, and there may be only two or three main players in the end.

Although the current market is focusing on hardware, Qianxue believes that the core trend of future development lies in cloud and terminal capabilities. "We will continue to introduce more capabilities into the family scene, and continue to define our understanding of human-computer interaction and home."
