If September and October of each year are the peak of scientific and technological product release, then may and June of the year are the time for developers, programmers and technicians to enjoy a gluttonous feast. In 2022, starting with the I / O (innovation in the open) conference, Google took the lead in blowing the horn of the battle of PK, the most cutting-edge technology abroad, and ignited the blood of developers. Next, the Microsoft bulid conference at the end of May and apple WWDC at the beginning of June will also begin one after another. Look back to Google, which officially launched at 1 a.m. on May 12. Here, Android, which we most often use, has entered the 13th version called "tiramisu". Can it subvert Android 12, which is known as "the biggest design change" but has a flat performance in the end; In the era of smart phones, how can pixel 6a and other hardware attract people's attention and stand out; Facing the unpredictable technology, what new strategies and plans does Google have in AI, chip and other dimensions. Next, we will announce the highlights of Google I / O 2022 with you. After three years, Google I / O conference under the regression line "After three years, it feels good to return to the coastline amphitheater and start this conference again," said Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Google CEO Sundar Pichai At the conference, Sundar Pichai reviewed the innovation and creation brought by Google's use of technology in the past year with the two keywords of "knowledge and computing". He said, "by deepening our understanding of information, so that we can transform it into knowledge; and promoting the state of computing, knowledge is easier to obtain no matter where you are". In terms of products and technologies, Google has brought the latest updates and improvements, such as: In Google translation, Google has added 24 language support and made this function more and more intelligent with the help of machine learning. Google maps has gained a new immersive view experience. By using computer vision and neural network technology, Google can detect buildings on a large scale from satellite images. At the same time, based on 3D mapping and machine learning technology, Google brings an immersive view experience to the map. You can experience different places through the map, or even enter the interior of the restaurant. In addition, Google maps also launched environmental protection routes to show users the most fuel-efficient routes. YouTube videos can automatically generate chapters and transcripts. Through deepmind's multimodal technology, YouTube videos automatically generate chapters with higher accuracy. Voice recognition model can also be used to transcribe video, which is a good auxiliary function. Google Docs introduces automatic summarization. The landing of this function also marks a great leap in natural language processing. Through the machine learning model, Google Docs can automatically parse words and extract key points in just a few seconds. Google meet also brings transcription and summary functions, and updates project Starline. In fact, for the first time in, Google brought project Starline, a technology project that combines hardware and software technological advances to help friends, family and colleagues from two places get together. Starline inspired the image processing function driven by machine learning, which can automatically improve the image quality in Google meet. Redefine Google search After a simple sharing by Sundar Pichai, Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president of Google, shared the improvement of search. In the browser market, there is no doubt that Google's Chrome occupies an important position in the world, and the search engine behind it ranks first with 92.07%. However, in recent years, Google search engine has also been criticized for biased search results and inaccurate content. At this year's Google I / O conference, Google put forward the vision of "search reimagined. Any way and anywhere". To this end, Google launched the multisearch function last month, that is, when you encounter something you don't know or can't describe in your daily life, you can directly search in Google applications by taking photos and asking questions through the multisearch function. At this conference, Google updated this function and brought a function called "multisearch near me". For example, when taking photos of parts required for house maintenance, Google can directly recommend local enterprises with such parts. This feature will be available in English later this year and will be extended to more languages over time. In addition, Google also launched the "Scene exploration" function, which is also equivalent to the function update of Google lens. It will allow users to use the mobile camera function to directly scan supermarket goods, and then find the products they want. In short, it is similar to using the "Ctrl + F" shortcut key in Google search engine to quickly find what you want. This feature will be launched later this year. Revolution of intelligent assistant: Needless to say hey Google, now you can speak directly by looking at it "Don't bother talking. You can interact with smart devices only by moving your eyes?" Scenes once seen only in science fiction films are now becoming a reality. Today, Google has launched a new wake-up mode for nest hub max (smart speaker). Instead of "Hey Google" to trigger the smart assistant, just stare at the device. When the camera of the device recognizes you, you can directly say your needs. It is reported that the device uses six machine learning models to process more than 100 signals to detect whether the user is looking at the camera or just glancing at it. In view of the above, many netizens may say that when they want the camera to recognize their eyes in time, this means that the camera has been in the monitoring state. Compared with the intelligent voice assistant, this kind of camera monitoring is more terrible. In this regard, Google said that these facial recognition data will not be sent to the cloud, and all processing is completely completed locally. Nest hub Max also extends the quick phrases feature to allow users to respond to common situations with short voice commands while skipping repeated hey Google wake-up words. Looking to the future, Google said, "assistant will be able to better understand the defects of human language without obstruction - including when you encounter pauses - and make your interaction feel closer to natural dialogue." Android 13 beta 2 attack Android 13 has been in the testing stage for several months, and so far, it will take several months before the official version. At this conference, Google released Android 13 beta 2 and put forward three visions: So you can do more with your phone Expand from mobile phones to watches, tablets, etc Better connect all devices together In terms of functions, Android 13 extends the material you design style, allows setting color themes for application icons, and can extend the color themes of application icons beyond Google applications to enhance customizability. Privacy and security improvements for Android 13 "Security is an important pillar of Android," Google said. In terms of privacy and security, Google will improve the RCS (converged communication) support of Google messages, which has now tested the end-to-end encryption of group chat. Based on this, Google hopes that RCS standard can become the successor of SMS and MMS protocols. In addition, Android 13 also imposes more restrictions on the personal data and mobile phone functions that the app can use by default, including requiring the app to request permission before sending a notification, automatically erasing the clipboard history, and including a new security and privacy page to let you see at a glance how secure your phone is. Android 13 now includes a new photo picker that shows two new categories you can control access: "photos and videos" and "music and audio", rather than "files and media". This is also equivalent to more focus, rather than directly providing access to the entire media library. Google Wallet In order to compete with companies such as apple wallet and Samsung pay, Google has now launched Google wallet, which can be directly used as driver's license, bank card, boarding pass and ticket. It will also be available to wearos users. At present, Google has opened the beta plan of Android 13 to many OEM manufacturers such as oneplus, realme, oppo, Nokia and Xiaomi. Better for tablets Google once mentioned in the release of the first developer preview that it has been trying to make Android 13 more suitable for tablets by enhancing users' multitasking function. At the conference, Google showed its new taskbar, multitasking, application drag and drop and other functions. At the same time, Google said, "big screen, big change. We are optimizing the Android experience for a larger tablet screen. More than 20 google apps will be transformed to make them easier to use and browse." Better connect all devices together Google is working with hardware partners from all different industries to access its music, movies, photos and other services on more devices. It also launched a fast pair service that allows all different devices to be easily paired. Google will also launch the smart home platform matter this fall, eliminating many isolated islands where smart home platforms operate independently. "By far the most conversational AI" - lamda 2 Also a year ago, Google launched the dialogue application language model lamda. At I / O 2022 this year, Sundar Pichai announced the arrival of lamda 2 and called it "the most conversational AI so far". Lamda 2 deeply combines AI and machine learning technology to conduct "free flow" dialogue on seemingly endless topics. Once you ask lamda any question, when you get an answer and reply to it, it will also answer the follow-up questions, so as to achieve a "smooth dialogue". Google hardware products In terms of hardware, Google launched a new phone equipped with Android 13, headphones and other devices, and even predicted the next generation of pixel 7 series phones for the first time. Pixel 6A The so-called upgrade without price increase. First, in terms of price, the newly launched pixel 6A retains the price of 5A, which is also $449. In terms of design, pixel 6A adopts 6.1-inch OLED 1080p display, 60 Hz refresh rate, 12 megapixel ultra wide angle and main camera, and the fingerprint sensor is located at the bottom of the screen. Convex is used on the back of the mobile phone
