German cloud computing Technology breakthrough: Display as Service

March 5, 2013,, German research minister, 2013 Hannover International Information and http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/26684.html > Communication Technology Exposition (CeBIT 2013) The first prize is awarded to the representative of the development team of "display as a Service,daas", the Alexander Le Fleux of the German Artificial Intelligence Research Center (DFKI).

At present, the connection between a pixel source and a display to output the pixel is usually achieved through a DVI or HDMI interface, which provides only an inflexible point-to-point connection. If you want to connect different pixel sources to the same monitor, or connect the same pixel source to a different type of monitor, or multiple different pixel sources connected to multiple different monitors, you need to add a special, expensive hardware device.

Daas uses a service-oriented strategy to solve this problem, whether it is a pixel source or a monitor, is considered as a service supply on the network, or provides pixels, or display images. As users of these services, people are free to get these pixels and match them to the right display device (including computers, tablets, smartphones, etc.) for image display. Daas is actually to establish a pixel source and the end-to-end relationship between the display, to ensure that the image content in the user's choice of pixel source-monitor can correctly match, distribute and display, and allow the content of the image can be displayed in a variety of different display devices synchronized.

CeBIT is the world's largest information and communication technology exposition to date, creating an innovation award for the first time this year. said that an innovative idea to become a market mature product needs economic and political support, hope by awarding Daas this technology CeBIT innovation First prize, can accelerate its transformation application. Currently, DFKI researchers have been working with display manufacturers to study how to install the system on television.
