Home automatization — the conception appeared in the 1980s, when a plenty of electronic products were very popular, with budding of home automatization industry. In the mid 1980s, when communication equipment and electronic products combined together, the Home automatization conception was genuinely accepted by people. Until the end of 1980s, the scientists started to research in home automatization as a special subject. Along with the development of telecommunication and information technology, people began to control and manage the home telecommunication and security equipments, which indicated the foundation of modern intelligentized home.
    Intelligentized home firstly emerged in America, which was called Smart Control at that time. When the system gradually transferred into business, it is enormous promotion to the whole industry. As far as the 1990s, the X-10 Protocol intelligentized home facilities present themselves. From now on, intelligentized home has 20 years’ history, but the future is prosperous in America, Europe, Asia and even the world. According to the developing speed and market reaction, we did a primary analysis: in the following 20 years, smart control industry will be popular all over the world. In the third world countries, intelligentized home industry will become a mainstream industry and its market prospect is beyond measure.
In America, we have many years’ experience in this field; before exploiting the European and the third world’s markets, we have did a research together with American authorized institution Pearl Research, the result of which shows as follows: until early 2005, intelligent information hardware products holds 85.14% of home network construction, counting for 410 billion US dollars, and the rest expense is for software and technical service. In the European countries, about 37.68% in Germany, 36.54% in Sweden and UK, 34.5% in France and Italy of the families have started to use intelligentized home products. In Asia, the statistics respectively are 27.31% in Japan, 25.84% in South Korea and 4.45% in China.
    According to the data above, intelligentized home industry is only in the primary level, but based on the developing trend analysis, intelligentized home popularization is an inevitable tendency. On the Intelligentized Electronic Industry Conference of 2004, United Nation’s Economy Development League once pointed out that the main countries of UN will realize home automatization until 2015. Since 1999, China started research and development in intelligentized home, expecting 60% of the Chinese families will make us of part of intelligentized home products.          Though intelligentized home industry has become fashionable for several times all over the world, the third world’s countries regard it as a brand new industry. Along with the rise of intelligentized home, with European Electronic popularization and with Asia’s rapid Electronic development, people’s living has greatly improved and intelligent electronic technology has been more mature, therefore, intelligentized home will become a new developing direction in the future.
