家电智能化经常提到“软件定义产品”，软件和硬件的区别是可以通过数据，实现家电的协同工作—集成。因此智能家电由于软件的存在，集成增加了数字化集成的维度，可以分为数字集成和物理集成。
The intelligence of household appliances often refers to "software defines products". The difference between software and hardware is that the collaborative work integration of household appliances can be realized through data. Therefore, due to the existence of software, the integration of smart appliances increases the dimension of digital integration, which can be divided into digital integration and physical integration.
数字集成，也分为单一的数字集成，以及在数字重新组合物理产品的联动集成。单一的数字集成就是不涉及单一产品的结构的变更，只是通过数字的驱动，设备协同工作；数字重新组合物理产品的联动集成，典型的如华为的鸿蒙系统，将智能家电原子化处理，然后组建超级终端，不涉及到智能家电物理位置的变化。
Digital integration is also divided into single digital integration and linkage integration of physical products in digital recombination. A single digital integration does not involve the change of the structure of a single product, but only through digital driving and equipment cooperation; The linkage integration of digital recombined physical products, such as Huawei's Hongmeng system, atomizes smart appliances, and then establishes a super terminal, which does not involve the change of the physical location of smart appliances.
