The mobile revolution enters the second stage: automobiles, televisions and wearable

According to foreign media reports, we have a transition to the second phase of mobile technology innovation, a variety of mobile technology for smartphones will break through the restrictions and expand to more areas.

Do you think smartphones are already smart? It's not really anything, it says. Mobile technology is in the process of spreading, and the world around us will change profoundly.

Consider the next major phase of mobile computing evolution, automobiles, televisions, factories, apparel and other wearable goods. Innovation in the smartphone world will define new things and the way you experience new things.

The first phase of the move is to turn the cellular phone into a powerful pocket computer, but the size of the device and the problem of data connectivity pose challenges. In the 7 years since the first iphone was released, engineers have sought to make hardware smaller, faster, and apps and systems created by software developers to turn cellular phones into "omnipotent" devices. The second stage is to extend this "omnipotent" concept to other areas, such as smart homes, smart cars, televisions, and so on, all of which have become "well-informed" by advances in mobility.

"We are at a turning point from research and development technology to the deployment of technical equipment," said Ericsson CEO Vestberg at this week's CES conference on moving to the second phase.

We are not talking about progress in a single field, such as improved operating systems and applications, where real progress is more pervasive and widespread. The next phase of the move will benefit from the sustained and rapid progress made by these technologies. They will enable your handheld device to query large amounts of data and complete complex operations.

The diffusion and evolution of mobile technology include cellular base stations in dense wireless data networks as data nodes, processors and communication units shouldering the burden of information computing and communication; the sensor reads data from the environment; Software Technology is responsible for implementing these functions. All of these technologies are faster, smarter, and more energy-efficient. That's why it can break the limits of smartphones and tablets and develop into wider areas.

Make everything smarter.

"We want to make everything smart," Bres Koznich Brian Krzanich in a speech at CES.

He is not joking. Each physical item that the Intel CEO mentions in his speech has an "augmented reality" version, ranging from smart watches, automatic coffee cups that can be asked to be filled, to pajamas that tell parents to change their children's diapers, and so on.

Although these items do not become more intelligent themselves, the hardest part has been achieved. The mobile industry has implanted sophisticated computing and communication hardware into flat-size devices made of metal and glass pockets.

"We're designing state-of-the-art equipment," said Tim McDonough, vice president of Qualcomm, when talking about smartphones, "the challenge of smartphones can also be Tim Mcdonach." If smartphones can work, it can be done elsewhere. ”

This is what we are witnessing now. New applications, services, and devices are built on the hardware and software designed for smartphones. LG's new Smart TV is running in the webOS system, which is designed for Palm Handheld PCs, wearable devices such as smart watches, Google Glass's main devices are used only on smartphones, and cars offer Bluetooth wireless connections and onboard computers. "These technologies can be extended to different devices and tailor some features to meet special needs." "McDonough said.

Second generation mobile platform

Engineers and researchers have been releasing the potential of smartphones. Now they can dream bigger, such as moving into cars, homes, televisions and other fields. We are beginning to see the first results of these experiments, and of course there will be more.

At the same time, the worldwide computing and communications infrastructure has also undergone major changes. In the explosion-driven demand, the cellular network is more dense, the bandwidth is bigger, and expands to the new domain.

John Donovan, vice president of At&t, said at CES that the data signals of smartphones used to spread 5 of miles to reach the nearest base station, and now the signal only needs to spread 2 miles.

In addition to these infrastructure, large technology companies are scrambling to create platforms that facilitate developers to develop new applications and services. Google (Weibo), Apple, Microsoft and Amazon's platforms all make application development easier.

"You don't know exactly what the next generation of great inventions are," says Jacob Jacobs of Qualcomm, "which makes it necessary to do one thing more and less." Give people a platform and you will be shocked by their results. And that's what mobile technology is all about.
