I. What is GKUI?

GKUI is ? ECARX? GKUI is an in-vehicle intelligent network system developed by ECARX, which currently serves Geely, Proton and other automobile users. ECARX is a technology innovation enterprise strategically invested and independently operated by Geely Holding. The company focuses on automotive intelligence and internet connectivity, providing digital cockpit electronics, active safety electronics, driverless sensors and controllers, as well as the operation of automotive networking cloud platforms and big data platforms.

On March 15, 2018, GKUI made its debut to the public at the Geely Open Ecology Conference, and by the end of 2018, GKUI had more than 800,000 users. In the past year, the GKUI system has been an important part of the series of reports by Car Owners Must Read on Geely Colorful Yue, Geely Colorful Rui, Baoteng X70, Geely Jiaji, and so on.

The development of automotive today, with the continued accumulation and enhancement of the capabilities of participating competitor companies, the gap is narrowing and becoming more and more homogenized with respect to the underlying or more mechanical and manufacturing parts, but in the Chinese market, ? user-perceivable experience? is undergoing subtle changes, and the hard-working and diligent Chinese people, through their rapid response to the market, have gradually formed a unique competitiveness of rapid iteration, rapid modification, and rapid improvement of the perceivable experience. For example, with the advancement of the inevitable trend of automotive intelligence and internet connectivity, companies like Geely are providing GKUI networking solutions across the board in several of their main models. As an example, a 100,000 dollar car with a better perceptible experience than 300,000 dollars of other brands will be more effective, and consumers will love it even more.

GKUI provides better in-vehicle entertainment, more efficient in-vehicle map navigation, more advanced in-vehicle voice assistant, and in the future will provide richer extended functions, such as socialization, video, and so on.

This time, we are honored to be invited to Hangzhou to participate in the internal testing of GKUI 2019 beta to see if there is any part of the latest version of GKUI that surprises us.

As the version number indicates, GKUI 2019, is the annual major version of the system, and the beta version, means it is the main testing version before the release of this major version. It already has the major part of brand new features in it. The official version is expected to be released to the public in the second quarter of this year. We go into detail about each of the key features.

Second, about listening to the rich content of the music

Daily use of the car, the car audio is to relieve driving fatigue, and to beat the boredom of an important function, listening to music is a high-frequency demand in the process of driving, and most of the in-vehicle entertainment system on the market due to the problem of music copyrights, the ability to provide a very limited number of online songs. Usually, users can only enrich the music library by using other external devices, and the listening experience is often not satisfactory.

For example, if you have a car with great music software and a great stereo, but you need to play music through Bluetooth on your phone, the Bluetooth transmission will compress the quality of the audio itself. Very high-quality music and very advanced sound effects will not be able to play. From this point of view, CD playback, in-car built-in music playback, is a viable solution to get the highest sound quality. But CD playback is a bit ancient.

GKUI is equipped with a music player - companion listening independently developed by Yikatong Technology, access to the love of listening to Zuo music, Baidu Taihe copyright library, you can listen to more than 14 million high-quality songs online. At the same time, from the perspective of user experience, Yigatong Technology integrates multiple audio contents, such as accompanying listening, Himalaya, local music, radio, etc., into the multimedia application, which is an all-inclusive one-stop solution that greatly enriches the driving sensory experience of the vast number of GKUI car owners and users. It also eliminates the need for car owners to constantly switch between other apps during the driving process.

On top of that, GKUI 2019 Beta can also present users with a new way to enjoy the world of GKUI.

On top of that, GKUI 2019 Beta can also present users with ? s music content, a more comprehensive application of the Himalaya APP on the car side, incorporating intelligent recommendation technology to actively push personalized content that better meets the user's interests and preferences. The system also remembers the user's listening history.

Amazing features recommended:

(1) Memorize playback: If the last song the user listened to was Park's Ordinary Road, when the simple voice command is issued again? I want to listen to the song? , the system will automatically continue to play the last unheard songs for you. If the user records a large number of songs, this also eliminates the embarrassment of listening to the first few songs of the song list each time, and saves the need to constantly listen to all the songs in order to finish? Next?

(2) Multi-platform continuity: If the user listens to a certain audio segment of Himalaya on the phone, and drives the car, the voice command ? continue to play? , then the car will automatically pick up the content of the phone to continue to play, after returning home to the Himalayan stereo to say ? Continue to play? then the stereo will automatically pick up the content of the phone to continue playing. （

Third, about the map and navigation far beyond the cell phone experience

Driving trip, we most commonly used to a function is navigation. The development of the navigation system to today, is not simply pointing out the direction, but also humanized recommendation of the nearest road, to achieve the avoidance of congestion, to avoid the road is not familiar with the misuse and violation of the law; more can be achieved through the voice of the navigation destination control, but also at any time through the voice control to change the destination, which is very convenient for the user to use, eliminating the need for handwritten input trouble.

Some friends may be more familiar with cell phone navigation, and not much use of in-car navigation, I think there may be a few reasons:

* Your car is a little weak, there is no car networking capabilities. This situation we objectively speaking, in this current era, is a little behind.

* You are more accustomed to using Baidu Maps and Tencent Maps, and not so accustomed to using Gaode Maps. But the good thing is that in the GKUI 2019 beta, in addition to the pre-installed Gaode map, there are also Baidu and Tencent two navigation just need to download in the application market, choose what you are used to.

* Your car has in-car navigation, but not the latest versions of Gaode, Baidu and Tencent. This is common in some brands with weak car navigation (although it may be a very strong car brand), where the car navigation module can only support older versions of maps, not enough to support the latest version of map navigation software.

* You're more used to mobile navigation than in-car navigation. In this case, we think it's obviously because you haven't used the GKUI system, so maybe if you use it once, you'll never use cell phone navigation again.

Amazing features recommended:

(1) Wake-up-free voice: When the car screen is displayed as the navigation interface, you do not take your hands off the steering wheel, and directly say ? Zoom in on the map? or? zoom in or zoom out? The map will automatically follow the voice request to zoom in or zoom out when you directly say "3D map", "2D map", "3D map" or "3D map". or "2D map", the map will automatically follow the voice request to zoom in or out. and the map will automatically follow the voice request to switch to 3D or 2D map.

(2) BAT map full support: In addition to the pre-installed Gaode map, GKUI 2019 Beta starts from the user's different habits, through the application shopping mall, provides users with Baidu map, Tencent map, the owner can download, to meet the different habits of the user needs to enjoy different navigation applications brought by the intelligent travel experience.

Four. The first is a new, more powerful, and more powerful way to get around the world, and it's a great way to do that.

Audio and map navigation are features that most car systems already have, and GKUI has done it. GKUI is the best of both worlds.

* Schedule management

On the default system interface, the owner's schedule for the day will be displayed, and the schedule can be entered by voice in the in-vehicle system, or on the mobile app, as well as told to the voice interactive assistant during a call? Add a schedule?



Adding a Schedule
Adding a schedule to a car's schedule is as easy as adding a schedule to a car's schedule.

At the same time, the interactive design of schedule management adds people's habits of using a smartphone, without cumbersome drop-down menus, all the management is on the main screen interface directly click. For text messages containing addresses, just tap the text to activate the navigation system and go directly to navigation mode.

(2) Car Home Connect

The fourth section of the main interface of GKUI 2019 Beta is displayed as weather information, and the home module is displayed after clicking in. The so-called home module is a way to communicate with the GKUI voice in the car, in real time or at regular intervals to the home of the smart home, such as: smart refrigerator, washing machine, sweeping robot and other more than 500 brands, 200 categories, more than 2,000 types of smart home equipment for remote control.

(3) Super Fast Voice

GKUI 2019 Beta's ? Intelligent voice AI? is developed by Yigatong Technology independently of the NLP (natural language processing system) equivalent to the core brain of the AI intelligent voice, and based on this access to third-party NLP capabilities such as Baidu, Jingdong, etc., and increase the average semantic processing speed by 4 times. This data surprised us and became an important part of our testing. Because the response speed of voice assistants is a core ability, and it is the perception experience that is particularly obvious. If GKUI 2019 beta is really that fast in response, it will be a stark contrast to other current competitors in the market.

After testing, the intelligent voice AI of GKUI 2019 Beta is free from formulaic password constraints, and voice interaction can be realized with spoken language, and it can interrupt at any time during the interaction, and commands can be said in a row. Amazing. For example, send a wake-up command? Hello, XX? Check my flight ticket to Beijing tomorrow? I'd like to know more about the flight tickets to Beijing tomorrow. Only Air China? What's the weather like in Beijing? How's the weather in Beijing? What's the weather in Beijing? What about tickets to Shanghai? With such uninterrupted voice commands, the system will quickly give you the answers you want, and it's very easy to use. (See live video)

On the basis of a rich and large voice knowledge base, GKUI 2019 Beta fully integrates technologies such as voice wake-up, voice recognition, contextual understanding, voice interruption, multi-round dialog, partition recognition, directional pickup, and real-time on-screen. As a result, it is able to accurately recognize the driver's semantics, quickly analyze voice commands, and make timely and correct responses. It also increases the scope of voice application to more than 60 pendant scenes, covering weather inquiries, hotel, air/train ticket bookings, history, people, news inquiries, and other multi-disciplinary travel services.

As for how this system was developed, we will not talk about it specifically, talking more leaks.

(4) Magic Book

The core of this function is to solve the intelligent voice AI?self-learning? , when encountering an unrecognizable user password, the system? brain? will memorize this passphrase to learn independently through the network, and when the GKUI user asks a similar question again, there will be a correct answer. In addition, the newly learned answer will be shared with other GKUI users via the cloud to provide answers to similar questions.

(5) Cloud Wallpaper

Change the car desktop to your favorite photo? Like family members?

The idea is a bit crazy, as not all current cars hold this feature.

But GKUI 2019 Beta can do it!

It offers a feature in ? Cloud Wallpaper? function provides a small program code, the phone scans the code, you can upload the photos in the phone (obviously also includes the photos taken immediately) to the car, the cloud to store this picture, and finally in the car interface click on the ? Cloud Wallpaper?
