Stress-free with 5G
人工智能让家居生活更加轻松
 
After a long and busy day at school or work, all we want to do is return to a clean and comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live. You can now turn your thermostat (恒温器) up, lock your doors and play your music with a simple voice command.
In fact, smart homes have actually been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a communication protocol (协议) called X10 back in 1975. With radio waves, this protocol allowed users to communicate with various devices (设备) in their homes, such as lights and alarms, according to AVSytemsMag, a magazine dedicated to the AV and automation (自动化) industry.
Of course, 4G – and now 5G – wireless technology makes smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的) and powerful than X10 devices. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated (声控的) assistant. Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact (互动) with nearly any device in their homes simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can accomplish tasks that would normally be too complicated or difficult, according to How-To Geek magazine.
Common household appliances can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart trash bin can monitor the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for replacement items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes based on the ingredients that were kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks website. 5G-powered sensors (传感器) and cameras can monitor almost every aspect of household life.
The appeal of all of this convenience has paid off for realtors (房地产经纪人), who are seeing sales of smart homes skyrocket (猛增). You can ask Dave Garland, a realtor with Second Century Ventures.
“There’s a new narrative (表述) when it comes to what ‘home’ means,” he said in an NPR report. “It means a personalized environment where technology responds to your every need.”
But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By monitoring your energy use and automatically turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smartphones can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer resources such as coal and gas, which is ultimately (最终) good for the environment – and our wallets.

经过一整天的忙碌的学校或工作之后,我们要做的就是回到干净舒适的家中。智能技术可以将任何房屋变成更美好的居住场所。现在,您可以通过简单的语音命令调高恒温器,锁上门并播放音乐。
实际上,智能家居已经存在了一段时间。专注于杂志的AVSytemsMag称,苏格兰公司Pico Electronics早在1975年就发明了一种称为X10的通信协议。通过无线电波,该协议允许用户与家中的各种设备进行通信,例如灯光和警报。到视听和自动化行业。
当然,4G无线技术使智能家居比X10设备更加复杂和强大。也许最普及的智能家居技术是声控助手。谷歌主页和亚马逊的Alexa的允许用户通过简单地说了几句话进行交互,在自己的家几乎任何设备。《 How-To Geek》杂志称,这对于儿童和肢体残障人士特别方便,因为他们可以完成通常过于复杂或困难的任务。
普通家用电器也可以变得“智能”。例如,根据HowStuffWorks网站,智能垃圾桶可以监视扔掉的东西并在线下单以替换物品,而智能冰箱可以根据里面的食材创建晚餐食谱。由5G供电的传感器和摄像头几乎可以监控家庭生活的各个方面。
