Voice assistants based on artificial intelligence technology have become hotspots in the technology market. Among them, Amazon's Alexa has become a rising star and is occupying more hardware products. A few days ago, Amazon and Lenovo announced that Alexa will be embedded in Motorola's line of mobile phones.
According to a number of foreign media reports, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ​​Spain, Lenovo and Amazon jointly announced the news, in the future Alexa will be integrated into more Motorola mobile phones, enabling rich voice control and other functions. .
In addition, as a first step of cooperation, the two parties will first introduce a hardware module using Lenovo's modular mobile phone to control smart home and other devices. After that, Alexa will be deployed to other smartphones.
At present, in the voice assistant market, there are four patterns of hegemony, namely Amazon, Microsoft, Apple Siri and Google's "Google Assistant". Amazon entered the market at the latest, but because of the excellent technology and innovation of home smart speakers, Alexa became a dark horse, and its popularity has already surpassed Apple Siri, which is called IQ.
At the International Consumer Electronics Show in the beginning of this year, Amazon did not exhibit, but it became a big winner. A series of hardware manufacturers, including Huawei mobile phones, have implanted Alexa voice assistants, meaning they have no need to develop them themselves. This voice assistant can be directly applied through a third-party grafting method.
According to the latest data released by Amazon, Alexa has achieved more than 10,000 functions through cooperation with third-party hardware vendors, not only limited to on-demand video, on-demand songs, manipulation of electric curtains, setting indoor temperature, such as cars. Manufacturers can also use Alexa to smoothly control the car.
Among the above voice assistant manufacturers, most of them adopt a combination of their own hardware, such as Apple has already implanted Siri in iOS hardware and laptops, and Google also implanted Google Assistant in its own branded mobile phones listed last year. In addition, Samsung Electronics will implant its own voice assistant for the first time in the Galaxy S8 high-end mobile phone released at the end of March.
Amazon had previously implanted Alexa in the smart speaker Echo, and the results were amazing. However, Amazon's previous plans to develop smart phones have been defeated, so if you want to further promote the popularity of Alexa, Amazon must cooperate with external mobile phone manufacturers.
In addition to Huawei, there is news that South Korea's LG is in contact with Amazon, and may implant Alexa in this year's new flagship phone (there is also news that LG will choose one among Google Assistant and Alexa), so that it can avoid the Samsung S8. The competition is at a disadvantage.
This cooperation with Lenovo Group will also promote Alexa's coverage and influence on smartphones.
Voice assistants are based on sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning assistants, far from being developed by ordinary mobile phone manufacturers. In the Android ecosystem, mobile phone manufacturers often embed Google's official services. However, it is strange that Google has previously treated Google's assistants as a differentiated selling point for its own mobile phones, and has not been open to external vendors.
It is reported that Google is accelerating the opening rhythm of Google's assistants, will be embedded in the old mobile phones of their own past, and even embedded in the Android system in the future, so that all mobile phone manufacturers can use.
