NVIDIA Samsung invests in SoundHound Huawei team to develop voice assistant

Recently, NVIDIA and Samsung jointly invested in 75 million US dollars (about NT$2.35 billion) SoundHound. From the CES in 2017, it is easy to see that AI related technologies and services have begun to penetrate into people's lives. Link. In addition to voice assistants in smart phones and smart home devices, the field of automatic driving is also an area where AI voice assistants are very active. With the coming of the era of Internet of Everything, voice command control has been recognized as a new model for interaction between various devices in the future.

On the morning of February 15th, in the newly released "The Lego Batman Movie", Apple built its own voice assistant into the movie, and Siri became the computer assistant of Batman in the movie, and this The effect continues to the line.

Recently, Huawei has also made new moves in its own voice assistants. According to foreign media reports, unnamed sources revealed that Huawei plans to develop autonomous voice assistant service to enter the highly competitive voice assistant market. One source said that a team of more than 100 engineers was developing voice assistant services in Shenzhen, and development work is still in its early stages. The Huawei Voice Assistant project has a grand target, targeting Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa and Alphabet Google Assistant, rather than other small characters.

A source said that Huawei voice assistants support Chinese and are aimed at domestic users. Huawei will continue to cooperate with Google and Amazon in overseas markets.

The development of autonomous voice assistant service helps Huawei to stand out among many Chinese smartphone manufacturers. Due to legal reasons, many Google services have not been able to enter the Chinese market.

Huawei plans to increase its revenue from its business operations to RMB 226.5 billion this year. Huawei is aggressively entering the high-end smartphone market, second only to Apple and Samsung in the global smartphone market.

The development of voice assistants by a major Android smartphone manufacturer may pose another major obstacle for Google. Huawei announced last month that its Mate9 smartphones sold in the US are pre-installed with Alexa. Currently, Google Assistant only runs on Google Pixel smartphones, Home smart speakers and smart watches running the latest version of AndroidWear software. Informed sources said that Google is trying to convince third-party equipment manufacturers to pre-install their voice assistants.

Huawei and Google did not comment on this.

Huawei is not the first Android device vendor to independently develop voice assistants. Samsung last year acquired Viv Labs, a startup founded by some Siri developers, and plans to release its first product with its voice assistant pre-installed later this year. Baidu announced the voice assistant service in 2015.

TFT LCD Display

TFT LCD screens are characterized by good development, high screen, strong sense of layering, and bright colors, but there are also relatively power consumption and low cost. TFT screen technology legendary the development of mobile phone color screens. Many of them support 65536 color displays, and even have 160,000 color displays. With a very high screen TFT, the visual advantage is important.
Technical characteristics
TFT technology was developed in the 1990s. It uses new materials and new processes for fine semiconductor all-electronic manufacturing technology. It is the basis of liquid crystal (LC), inorganic and organic thin-film electroluminescence (EL and OEL) flat panel displays. It is a variety of films made on non-single materials such as glass or plastic products (of course also on the surface) through methods and chemical reaction forming processes, and a large number of micro-integrated circuits (LSIC) are produced through the processing of the films. Non-single crystal crystals can achieve cost reduction, which is an extension of traditional small integration to large area, function, and direction. Manufacturing TFTs that control the switching performance of pixels (LC or OLED) on large glass or plastic products has a higher technical content than manufacturing complete ICs on silicon wafers. The required production equipment and production technology surpass the production of large-scale integration of semiconductors, which is the luster of modern technology. The main features are:
(1) Large area: The first generation of large-area glass products (300mm×400mm) TFT-LCD-production line was put into production at the beginning of the nineties, and the area of eye glass has been expanded to 60mm×80mm in 2000), as well as 950mm×1200mm glass The design will also run.
(2) High integration: The size of the 1.3-inch TFT chip used for the projection of liquid crystal is one million for GA. The resolution is SXGA (1280×100×1280×1000×1280×1000×1280×1000×16.1 inch TFT screen amorphous film) 50nm, and TAB ON GLASS and SYSTEM ON GLASS technology, its IC integration, The technical requirements for equipment and supplier technology are more difficult than traditional LSI.
(3) Powerful function: TFT as a matrix selection solution provides the light valve characteristics of liquid crystal. TFT-LCD is the first Liquid Crystal Display in human history whose display quality exceeds that of CRT. The function will be more powerful, which is unmatched by traditional small integrated circuits.
(4) Design: Glass products and plastic products have fundamentally solved the problem of large semiconductors and opened up potential applications for the application of small semiconductors.
(5) Ingenious process: In addition to the use of vapor phase, chemical vapor deposition (chemical vapor deposition) MCVD (molecular chemical vapor deposition) and other processes to form films, laser flame technology has also begun to be applied traditionally, not only making amorphous films, polycrystalline films, but also Single crystal films can be manufactured. Can make silicon film, can also make other II-VI group and III-V group semiconductor thin film.
(6) Wide range of application fields. Liquid crystal display based on TFT technology is a rich industry in the information society, and the technology can also be applied to the rapid growth of thin-film organic electroluminescence (TFT-OLED) flat panel Display Screen shots. .
