Mobile phone has been intelligent, the router has been intelligent, television has been intelligent, and even cars are beginning to intelligent road, what else can not be intelligent?
Recently this time, Lenovo's creation competition in full swing, within 53 days, a total of 53,162 participants, 91,665 works, official website access to more than 3.9 million platform, netizens vote interactive volume nearly 700,000.
The entire competition covers the intelligent electronics, wisdom, digital vision, innovative costumes Four major sections, the current generation of 44 strong.
Of these 44 strong works, two are particularly interesting, one is "refrigerator companion", one is "iborn intelligent umbilical cord scissors".
A brief introduction to these two products:
The fridge companion is a smart fridge that tracks the status of food and hints at the freshness of the host's food. Contains a camera that will scan the barcode on the food package and record the shelf life of the food. After scanning, information such as the number of days that users can use will be displayed on the micro-screen until the food expires.
I born is a digital medical device that can accurately record the cut of the umbilical cord of the baby, the moment of birth to the world, and deliver the good news to the user through the network application. At the same time, the combination of blade and umbilical cord is also convenient for doctors to operate.
At present, the whole internet industry is talking about the internet thinking of the present, I think these two products undoubtedly embodies what is the Internet thinking.
What is Internet thinking?
This April, Nokia is located in Nanjing East Road, the world's largest flagship store closed, and in this Shanghai, one of the pedestrian street on the other side of the Apple crowd, a huge gap.
Nokia, the hardware, lost to Apple, the best embodiment of Internet thinking. It has been summed up by Nokia's failure, "Nokia, who wants to make a computer, lost to an apple that wants to make it into a mobile phone." ”
In short, Apple's iphone sells more than just mobile phones, and the iphone's sale is just the middle of the Apple ecosystem, followed by the entire service, such as the App Store, where your phone can be turned into a game machine, a communications device, a navigator, and so on. The call function that the handset should have is only one link, not all.
But Nokia is different, Nokia's mobile phone after the sale, the service so far, the phone is the whole of Nokia, so let your Nokia signal how strong, mobile phone how resistant, it is difficult to avoid the fate of being eliminated.
Look at another case, Tesla.
After Mr. Jobs left, Tesla's founder, Musk, was seen by Silicon Valley as a brand new national icon, because Musk was doing the same thing as jobs.
Tesla is no longer a simple carmaker, selling more than a hardware device, and like the iphone, it sells the entire service, which contains huge information services.
Cars are also becoming another export, a channel, which is why Google to sweep Street View, Apple and Google have to do maps, with Street View data as a support to the car as an input port. Will change the driving of cars, personalized customization, sales, travel, the whole industry and life are brought about by changes.
These two cases can fully explain what is the Internet thinking, cell phone is no longer a mobile phone, car is no longer a car
Refrigerator Companion, I born the Broad road of umbilical cord shears
Now in the market, the discussion about intelligent routers has been heard, as a home Smart Device intervention Center management equipment, smart routers obviously have more play.
This is also a reflection of the internet thinking, overnight, as if nothing can not be internet.
So the fridge and the scissors are definitely OK.
and the refrigerator companion, iborn the umbilical cord shears to make the very good demonstration case.
Now the refrigerator companion, only can prompt the user the food freshness degree, but its future may have more imagination. For example, have a complete food solution.
We all know that every professional athlete's food is carefully arranged by the dietitian, each meal involved in how many calories, to eat fish or chicken and so on.
The information that these nutritionists are familiar with can be fully imported into the fridge, reminding the user what to eat and what to eat and what to do.
A fee? Completely can let the refrigerator companion free, relies on the service to charge, for example to recommend the menu to the user to the C terminal charge, again like what food on which has the fresh sale website to buy is better through recommends to the B end charge, or through the advertisement mode to the B end charge.
This is a completely feasible solution.
And now the refrigerator partner is to solve the existing refrigerator stock market, in the future we will certainly see the refrigerator directly have this function.
So a small product, the future will pry market really limitless.
Again, I born the cord shears play.
I born can accurately record the cut of the umbilical cord, the moment of birth to this world, and pass the good news to the user through the network application. Of course, must have the function of the scissors must be optimized, so the blade and umbilical Cord folder integration of the structure also allows doctors to operate conveniently.
So can this little scissors of the future do anything else?
Like a blood type or something? Of course, because the author is not very proficient in the medical industry, for the moment do not start, but I believe there should be more ideas can be implanted in this pair of scissors.
Refrigerators are no longer refrigerators, scissors are no longer scissors, that is the Internet play.
According to this logic, will the future family need to use some of the objects can be intelligent, air-conditioning, electric lights?
We look, these two days, China Research and Development Investment Financing Alliance and China's Visible Communications Industry Technology Innovation Alliance signed a strategic cooperation agreement to promote the visible light communication technology within 5 years into millions of households.
What is the visible light communication technology? In layman's terms, your home lighting becomes an Internet portal, as long as there is light, you can achieve high-speed Internet access, through the light source to achieve communication.
So the true revolutionary era has come, and an iphone has changed more than just a mobile phone industry, and all industries are changing.
I don't know, refrigerator mate, iborn cord shears is not the most representative of Lenovo's work, but jobs and the two are very typical innovators and geek.
Interestingly, this year the author is familiar with the two major Lenovo activities, a creation contest, the other one is in August this year, Lenovo once engaged in an activity, called "Customer departure", inviting entrepreneurial leaders and 200 entrepreneurs to the Gobi desert, feel the journey of entrepreneurship.
The company that started with the PC, the importance of innovation has never been so high, Lenovo itself is a Big Mac, but in this era of subversion, it also faces a lot of challenges and opportunities, and "create a customer competition" and "that is the customer" may be Lenovo to seize the historical opportunity of a microcosm.
