MAO Hua, general manager of Tencent Cloud Voice Cloud, made a speech on the theme of “Intelligent Interaction, new ecology with the help of AI” at the Cloud + Future Summit. The following content is compiled from the speech.
MAO Hua: Many experts have talked about Tencent’s cloud AI capabilities. Finally, I would like to talk about what Wechat is. Zhou Jie talked about the construction based on the technology behind wechat. Xiaowei was launched in Tencent Cloud + Summit last June, to may this year, it has been nearly a year, in the past year, we have done a lot of things, you can have a look at our development process in a year. The whole voice ecosystem of Xiaowei mainly focuses on two aspects, one is the hardware open platform, which we mentioned when it was released in June last year, and the other is the Skill open platform, which connects with the hardware platform to make Skill fall into the ground, and serves for more content. We hope that micro and AI can help transform all industries and make micro ubiquitous in all industries, whether it is speaker industry, or headset, or mobile phone, or robot, or car, or smart home and so on.
Let’s take a look. These are some of the partners that we’ve connected with in the past year. The first one is a robot that I’ve been using at home, and my kid likes it because it’s so cute and can run and talk to you. For example, I want to see Peppa Pig. For example, I want to watch a video, or listen to a story, or listen to music. For example, if I want to listen to children’s songs, the most important thing is to run. When he says follow me, the robot will follow him wherever he goes. The second one is the Hemidi video robot, but it’s actually a set-top box, and you talk to it and you say what movies I want to watch, what movies you want to watch and you interact with it, or you ask what the weather is like today. The third one is the Excellent robot, which can walk on two legs and dance at the same time, which is its biggest characteristic. The fourth is the Harman speaker, which has excellent sound quality. There is also a car in the back, which is our cooperation with Changan Automobile. The engine in Changan Automobile can say “I want to listen to the song” or “WHERE I want to navigate” when driving, and it can be adjusted to set the destination. There is also a call and QQ, you can say while driving, Hi small micro I want to call who, or send QQ messages to who, you can direct QQ users. Pony said, wechat did not do this, QQ has done. Why didn’t wechat do it? Is concerned about the safety of everyone in the process of driving, and small micro QQ voice call and voice message.
I want to focus on dietmar hamann, this product is very good, from the power of the voice above optical effect, and our little tiny voice interaction, the product with the three full screen of the horn and a subwoofer, effect is very shocked, at the same time in the whole process of interaction, the top one of lamps, how can know the real time state, playing music lights flashing, Or you don’t want the speaker to listen to you, you can turn it off, and it’s red when you turn it off. It’s great in terms of sound, voice interaction and optics.
This product has been put on sale on JINGdong. If you are interested, you can search on jingdong. Through our speakers, our purpose is to improve the quality of life of everyone, whether in the process of enjoying music or children in the process of learning and education, can use such products, to add some material to life.
In the past year, we through with WeChat AI team make tencent small micro cloud platform, we set up the framework, we can see from this framework, we will access to a lot of Skill, including internal tencent has its own content, we have music, video, literature, have the news, wikipedia, like stock information. However, we also need to introduce more content beyond Tencent, such as Dianping, Meituan and Didi Taxi. Through this introduction, and then through the dialog management system, the content output to the hardware platform. We need to emphasize not just the hardware, but the APP, the widget, the hardware, the APP, the widget, all of those things have the ability to talk, but also get what you want.
Since this year, we have upgraded our dialogue system and Skill open platform. We hope that through our upgrade, it will be more convenient for our content and service providers to receive us more quickly, and at the same time, we will set up some dialogue logic in the dialogue management platform, so that the content and service can have a better dialogue with users. In Skill, we will enhance the experience of life, entertainment, health, children and reading.
I want to talk about Dianping. Dianping has a very large number of users in China. People use dianping all the time. We will make such services in the speaker, in sports headphones, or in the car can provide corresponding services. At the same time, we know that music services are indispensable for all speaker products or scenes in cars, headphones during sports, or other scenes at home. This is exactly the strongest point of Tencent, which is that we have a large number of legitimate music. We cooperate with QQ music is very tight, we create a better user experience with QQ music, not only provide music content, we will understand the user, like what kind of music, and in what situations like what kind of music, is still in the movement process in driving, or driving on the beach, or driving in plateau. It’s a completely different feeling, and it’s very connected to the music.
For example, in the sports scene, if we wear headphones to exercise, we often wear headphones when running. If we want to listen to music, there is a long step: open, stop, take out the phone, unlock, enter QQ Music, find the song list or the content of the song you want to listen to, and click play. The combination of our voice ability and QQ music will make this process very simple. I can get what you want by saying a word during running. Or before bed, Micro, turn off the music after 30 minutes.
What I particularly want to say today is that xiaowei and QQ Music is a very close partnership, and Xiaowei will enter the QQ Music APP. That is, when users go out for a run with earphones and turn on QQ music, the overall voice interaction can be completed in QQ music, or can be turned off. In the locked screen of mobile phone, they can also interact with QQ music through earphones. It is very simple.
Today I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that we will enter into a strategic cooperation with SONY, which will introduce SONY headphones and QQ Music, Xiaowei.com close partnership. We know SONY in the hearts of fans, there is a word, SONY great method is good. A colleague at the scene told me last night, he was very excited, he grew up is to use SONY products, the beginning of that kind of walkman, to the back of the MP3 player, PSP, etc., SONY in the whole process of provides a lot of good product, in the evolution of forward continuously, SONY products today about tencent micro and small cloud QQ music very in-depth cooperation.
