## AI 摘要

Google Home 将从 6 月 23 日起更新面部识别功能：当人脸不清晰时，可通过“非生物识别信号（体型、衣服颜色等）”继续识别已在 Familiar Faces 库中标记的人。该库还将自动更新家庭成员的最新照片。AI 生成的事件描述新增识别特定声音（狗叫、警报、脚步声）的能力，即使声音来自摄像头外。同步发布的 Google Home 应用 4.20 版加入了 Nest 恒温器检测到的 HVAC 系统健康警报，并改进了 Matter 开关支持。

A new update for Google Home could make it less likely your smart home cameras mistake you for someone else, just because you’re facing away from the camera. Starting June 23rd, Google’s expanding its facial recognition feature so that people you’ve tagged in your Familiar Faces library can continue to be identified when their faces aren’t clearly visible, using “additional non-biometric signals (body size, clothing color, etc.).”

The Familiar Faces library will also begin automatically updating with the most recent images of everyone in your house, so you should get fewer inaccurate notifications from outdated examples.

Google also says its AI-generated video event descriptions “can now identify specific sounds — like dogs barking, alarms, or footsteps” and include them in the notes, even if the audio came from something off camera. All of these updates could help address some of the quirks The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy noticed while trying out Google’s updated smart home system last year, like event logs with detailed descriptions of people who weren’t there, and things that didn’t happen.

A new update to the Google Home app in version 4.20 also adds new “System Health alerts” if your Nest thermostat detects issues with your HVAC, which sounds like a Gemini-connected update to the previously existing Google Nest System Health Monitoring, and improved support for Matter switches.
