谷歌的新装置跨出探索智能装置领域的第一步 每当寒流来袭,安迪·劳乌喜欢让他位于加州的家保持温暖,这点在过去是个问题。他有时候出差时会忘记凋低恒温器的温度,以致暖气费用大增。不过,自从他买了谷歌的Nest恒温器之后,就再没有担心过这个问题了。
During cold spells, Andy Law likes to keep his California house warm, which used to be a problem. He'd sometimes forget to turn down the thermostat [when he traveled] and run up a nasty heating bill. But he hasn't had to worry about that since buying one of Google's Nest thermostats. The device "learns" its users' daily heating and cooling preferences, including when they're away. Then it mimics those temperature variations on its own, which was just what Law was looking for.
