Samsung Bixby live experience: mobile phones can actually understand you like this.

IT 168 commented on "Hi Bixby, give me a Rap". This seemingly crazy command, I thought I would receive a reply of "sorry, no search results", but Bixby actually made a decent set of words and came to an artificial intelligence rap, which is different from mechanical reading. Bixby has a good sense of rhythm, and it doesn't sound so lame. Really.

165438+1October 2 1 day, Samsung officially held a press conference in China, and its artificial intelligence Bixby officially entered China, integrating voice (Bixby Voice), vision (Bixby Vision), reminder (Bixby Reminder) and home page (Bixby Home) functions. After the press conference, the author "teased" bixby in the experience area. In addition to the rap performance at the beginning of the article, Bixby's dry goods are really quite a lot.

Bixby can speak human words.

Everyone has been exposed to artificial intelligence to some extent, and the rhythm of jumping beans and poor Chinese pronunciation often make people complain. Bixby's Chinese is obviously much better. The broken sentences in long sentences are more natural, sound less astringent, and can better handle some rhyming pauses in rap, which surprised the author. And in order to adapt to Chinese pronunciation, Samsung China Research Institute has also made great efforts to invite real people to provide dubbing, making Bixby's male and female voices more authentic.

In addition to imitating the pronunciation and rhythm of real people, Bixby also strengthens the logic of language. It can be analyzed by combining the semantic and contextual factors before and after, so as to make a more accurate reply. Even if it encounters some vague instructions, it can interact with the user to make a certain sound, and then make a judgment.

To give a simple example, the author asked bixby, "What's the weather like today?" Bixby will call up the weather forecast and broadcast the weather by voice. At this time, if you want to know more about tomorrow's weather, just ask "What about tomorrow?" Bixby will naturally contact an order, understand this order, and directly broadcast tomorrow's weather. It can be seen that the interaction with Bixby is not mechanically repeating instructions, but obviously closer to the communication between people.

We also know that Bixby's speech recognition processing needs to be implemented in the cloud, so the whole process is networked. In the absence of network connection, Bixby can give specified feedback to some users' preset instructions.

Bicks can read the world better than others.

Bixby integrates the ability of computer vision, thus creating Bixby vision. Bixby can identify what new things we encounter in life at a glance, which is convenient for us to understand in depth. The entrance to bixby's vision is hidden in the camera. When it is turned on, Bixby immediately becomes a smart AI. When the author is interested in the BB8 model in front of him, he only needs to scan it with Bixby to present the corresponding information, or he can choose to pop up a shopping link and click Buy, which greatly saves the search process.

In addition to recognizing objects, Bixby is also good at character recognition and supports corresponding translation in multiple languages, which is extremely practical when traveling abroad. Imagine that when you walk into a Spanish restaurant and don't know where to start the Spanish menu, just scan it with Bixby, and the words in it will be extracted and further translated into the corresponding Chinese, which will instantly resolve the language embarrassment.

Bixby is really capable.

Samsung emphasizes that Bixby can change the way mobile phones interact, making it "easier said than done", which also makes Bixby the most capable artificial intelligence I have ever seen. In practical experience, Bixby voice can easily realize system-level routine operations such as "opening XXX function" and "calling XXX".

More interestingly, Bixby Voice also supports the operation of some third-party applications, such as WeChat, Alipay, Weibo and ofo*** to enjoy bicycles. When you are bored, say "open WeChat circle of friends" to Bixby and you will jump directly to WeChat circle of friends. Say "send XXX yuan red envelope to XXX" and you will jump directly to WeChat red envelope payment verification page. Even the amount of the red envelope is filled in, and you only need to brush your eyes to pay successfully, completely freeing your hands.

According to the news from Samsung, there are currently 17 third-party applications optimized for Bixby, which support Weibo, WeChat, Alipay, and * * * bike, video, music, maps, shopping and other applications, which can basically meet daily needs. In the future, Samsung Bixby will also cooperate with other applications in depth to cover more applications.

Bixby is not only artificial intelligence integrated into mobile phones, but also runs through Samsung's intelligent ecosystem. Television, refrigerator, washing machine, smart speakers and other networked devices can be connected and controlled through Bixby. In the experience session, it is very convenient to say "Connect TV" to Bixby to project the screen of the mobile phone on the TV in front of you without any complicated operation.

Bixby is very talented in music.

If you are tired of language communication with Bixby, music is also one of Bixby's strengths. In my opinion, bixby is really talented in music. Besides rap, he can improvise. Say "Hello Bixby, I want to compose music" to Bixby, and Bixby will immediately offer several styles and genres to choose from. After the author makes a choice, he can draw several curves at will, and Bixby can improvise music according to this curve, which is very fresh. Imagine a gathering of three or five friends. You might as well improvise with Bixby and show off your skills.

After a simple experience, Bixby does have something extraordinary. Smart and capable is the author's most direct impression of it. When we are used to directing artificial intelligence in one direction, the appearance of Bixby has changed the author's understanding to some extent: AI can communicate with me and understand me in this way.

At present, Samsung has announced that the China version of Bixby will be officially launched on June 30th, and users of 165438+, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note E8E8 will take the lead in early adopters. The upcoming W20 18 will also be pre-installed in the first batch. Are you ready for Bixby?
