Wearable devices are becoming a hot favourite for the tech world and consumers, and wearable devices will be in full swing in 2014. Wearable devices have led the development of science and technology in the future, leading a new wave, and will certainly promote more innovation in the consumer electronics industry. Among them, iWatch and Google Glass, Apple, Samsung, Sony, Nike and other technology and consumer companies have begun to allocate resources in the smart wearable device industry. Data from iResearch shows that in 2006, about 6.75 million wearables were sold in China. Equipment will increase rapidly to 73.5 million units in 2016.
Wearable cameras, smart glasses, smart watches, wearable medical health devices, activity trackers, 3D motion trackers, and smart clothing have come into being, and our eyes are overwhelming. In this regard, Mr. Xu Yujie, President of Ruizhi Semiconductor, said that medical health applications such as smart watches and wearable medical health equipment will be the fastest. The development of wearable devices will first become the mainstream of smart accessories, and then as the technology matures and the cost is reduced, it will replace the smart phone as the main control device.
Wearable devices embed sensors, wireless communications, multimedia and other technologies into the daily wear of people's glasses, watches, bracelets, clothing and footwear, and can measure various signs with a tight body. For example, during morning exercise, there are shoes to calculate the distance of movement and calories burned, glasses to see the scenery, bluetooth earphones to monitor blood oxygen content. Especially through integration with big data and cloud technology, wearable medical devices can collect physiological data (such as blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen content, body temperature, respiratory rate, etc.) of the human body through sensors, and wirelessly transmit data to the center. The processor can also issue a warning signal when an abnormality occurs, and the central processor sends the data to the medical center, which is convenient for the doctor to conduct comprehensive, professional and timely analysis and treatment. Based on these advantages, wearable devices will have great development prospects in the health care field in the future, and the development of this field will be faster than the consumer entertainment field.
For example, Ruizhi's xHealth\SPORT and xWATCH products can not only measure people's daily exercise volume, how many steps they take each day, the number of kilometers they run, the calories burned, etc., helping people understand their exercise and health status, and can also record Upload data to your smartphone, view and analyze it anytime, anywhere, and socialize with others. The product may also realize data exchange with devices such as home smart TV in the future.
Xu Weijie said that the core advantages of Ruizhi Semiconductor's wearable device solutions are mainly in three aspects. First, the power consumption is low, and it needs to reach the milliwatt level. Second, the area is small, such as the wearable device chip developed by Ruizhi Semiconductor. Less than 20 square millimeters, very compact and lightweight, easy for engineers to carry out PCB design; third is cost-effective.
The chips and solutions of the company's wearable devices are based on advanced architecture, low power consumption, compact size and high performance, and are developed in tandem with global industry trends. The chip and development platform of Ruizhi wearable device is a new generation of high-tech integrated circuit products specially developed for wearable devices with long standby time, compact design and applicable performance under the wave of intelligent and portable electronic products in the world. . The chips and solutions provide rapid support for OEMs, ODMs and brand manufacturers, and provide strong support for brands, channels, operations and product designs, and can be widely used in different fields such as entertainment, sports, health and safety.
In addition, many companies are facing the same problem at this stage, that is, today's wearable devices have not yet achieved the desired results. The main reason is that the technology is not mature, and the relevant industry chain of the wearable device industry is still immature. In particular, due to the size and energy consumption limitations of wearable devices, chips, displays, and batteries are required to be specially customized, so the cost is high, and it is difficult for the products to land in batches. Commercialization will take time. Xu Yujie believes that there are two main limiting factors, one is that its design is not perfect, and the other is the lack of battery life. In addition, there are many factors that constrain wearables. For example, consumer experience is flawed, homogenized product competition, difficulty in synchronization, and low application software resources. For all of the above, Ruizhi Semiconductor relies on strong design and development strength, starting from the chip design level, optimizing in algorithm software, communication protocol and storage, and developing a low-power and high-performance design solution that can provide customers with Cost-effective solution, and also invested a lot of manpower and resources in technical support, can help customers quickly respond to market demand and quickly launch their own products.
Xu Weijie also said that integration and innovation are indispensable. If the next wearable device technology that represents the trend of hardware does not combine cloud technology and big data, it will not be widely used among the public.
Although the prospect of wearable devices is very good, the reality is still very "skinny", but we all know that wearable devices are gradually running at a high speed, and technology giants are actively analyzing the development and feasibility of wearable devices to make up for the technical strength. vacancy. In the future, wearable devices will gradually mature from green to young, and infiltrate into human life from all aspects.
