Three questions Cloud TV domestic Cloud TV road is a cloud

The most popular word in the past two years is "everything is a cloud", and the recent domestic color TV session really floated a "cloud", but this cloud is more advanced, called "Smart Cloud."

Recently, the domestic six mainstream color TV brands in half a month in the intensive convening of "cloud TV" new product conference, Konka, Changhong, Hisense, Haier, Skyworth, Tcl have released a "cloud" for the concept of the new series, although each name is different, but are through a series of cloud TV, cloud mobile phones, Even the cloud flat panel and other use of intelligent system terminals for the client platform, through the network, and cloud server to achieve cloud computing, cloud storage, multi-platform interaction, resource sharing and so on entertainment and services.

But even though the future of the "cloud" as the center of Life Blueprint for each conference maker is so sci-fi, from TV Weibo to the future of human life, it is as if our entertainment life is a leap. However, in a few press conferences to interview a number of on-site audience, many people reflect the fog of listening, quite a bit of "cloud" sense, and the author of this "cloud" has generated several questions.

Where is the cloud?

No matter which brand of "Cloud TV" conference site, the collection of the latest technology, the most avantgarde appearance of all kinds of new products are placed in the scene, and supporting the cloud flat, smart phones, and even intelligent remote control in the field are displayed, a variety of cloud terminal equipment can provide on-site experience, trial.

However, compared to these real in front of the cloud terminal platform, the cloud is a cloud service platform is somewhat mysterious. The concept of cloud computing is already not a day two days of things, but has been more it for the promotion and speculation, suddenly broke into the field of home appliances into a "cloud TV" part of a time, even if the industry many also said quite fresh.

According to Skyworth, Cloud TV has the following four standards: one is to have a private cloud database, supporting the landing of multiple devices, the second is to have user resources to share with each other platform; the third is to have online services, online electronic mall, four is the cloud background, no hardware upgrades.

On the other side, Tcl paints a cloud life strategy for us: to the Internet, radio and television networks, communications network for the cloud access, cloud computing, cloud storage, super Intelligence as the core technology, with rich cloud software, android+ Cloud Platform, super intelligent Cloud TV for the drive, providing seven super smart cloud services, and unlimited expansion Will bring huge, shared, convenient, three-dimensional wonderful cloud life for consumers.

Either way, it gives us a picture of all the experiences and changes that cloud television can bring, but the author is more interested in the "cloud" or "cloud services" that are provided behind it. With so many types of resources, it is clearly impossible for the TV makers to make them themselves. How to integrate so many resources to provide, and provide a sense of experience good service, obviously need these TV manufacturers to digest well.

How many flowers are there in the cloud?

In 2009, in the face of the success of the Kindle E-reader, domestic manufacturers seem to have seen a new revolution in traditional ways of reading and publishing, the Han King, academician, Dr. Yi, founder, Datang have launched an electronic reader, referred to as "e-books." Shanda, Chinese online, Longyuan and other manufacturers have also set foot in, and then more attracted finished originally to principally mainly digital manufacturers also poured into the collective.

In this e-book craze, many manufacturers have also seen the important position of E-book resource platform. For a time, including Shanda, Han Wang and many other enterprises will be the collective publicity to build E-books platform, each of them to win the publishing house, a time to emerge from multiple download platform. However, 2 years later, we did not see a successful e-book manufacturer, nor can we see a particularly dazzling platform manufacturers.

In the cloud TV release boom, Tcl chose to cooperate with Tencent, and Changhong and Sina signed, each color TV manufacturers are building their own cloud platform, of course, in addition to the Conference, we also believe that every color TV brand platform cooperation manufacturers more than one. More different types of platform manufacturers to join, can bring more rich applications, believe that both for manufacturers or consumers, is a good news.

However, it is worrying that every manufacturer is building their own platform, building their own "cloud", which makes consumers face the problem is that if the more preferred resources are not their own brand of television services, it can only be forced to choose their own dislike or even change color TV?

When Sony and Samsung can give up the market competition, together to promote the standardization of 3D glasses technology; companies like Toshiba, Sony and Hitachi's three markets will be able to sit down and co-operate to announce the merger of small and medium-sized LCD panels to enhance the discourse power of the market in the coming panel era. Why do we these domestic many manufacturers can not put aside stereotypes, build platforms, common operating platform, but must be their own self-reliance, the strength of the Alliance, believe that in many international patent competition is not the first time insight.
