The evolution of hardware has become a general trend, but it is undeniable that every promotion is faced with many difficulties. Just watched the media report, the high level of early financing does not really mean anything, only 10% of hardware entrepreneurship projects got the second round of financing. Therefore, the biggest problem in the hardware area is to avoid the failure, and once again attract VCs' "savings" through competitive advantages, and smoothly promote the 2.0 era.

And when we repeatedly stressed at the GMIC conference not long ago that we need to realize the "leopard change" of the next smart device 2.0 era, we might be eager to find it. In the recent participation in the 10*10 hardware conference of the named time, CEO Zhang You’s sharing experience made the author deeply understand this point again.

Review and Meditation in the 1.0 and 2.0 Era

Talking about the "transitional" hardware of the 1.5 era. The author believes that it is necessary to define the 1.0 and 2.0 eras in the front and back sections separately.

The so-called intelligent hardware in the 1.0 era mostly plays the role of "collector". Take the bracelets in the streets as an example. Their exact name may be a pedometer. Even if the conventional fixed position of the pedometer is transferred from the waist to the wrist, you can't deny that the function of most bracelets lies in - Record the movement history, calculate the calorie burning plus the very "chicken sleep" function. During this time, the hardware 充当 acts as an entry point for massive data through various forms.

In the so-called wearable 2.0 era, the author has given a prediction in the article "Wearable 2.0 Meditation: Get rid of mobile phones, only chips left": things and things are connected without going through mobile phones, and anything can be interconnected, eventually forming a network. The structure, the information breaks through the islands, realizes the interconnection of various applications, and the data is finally all opened.

In layman's terms, the 2.0 era will realize skipping mobile phones and “things dialogue”. The scale interacts with the water cup to remind the user to drink water; the thermometer interacts with the air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature to the most suitable temperature; there is also a smart car that is full of speculation, and the future depends mainly on the computer-based smart pilot and car in the car. "Dialogue" can achieve driverlessness. The ultimate fate of the phone may just be a control system.

What does the 1.5 era do? Non-data "feedback" on the output side

The so-called "leopard change" has never been done overnight. Please pay attention to the 1.5 era of the transition phase of intelligent hardware. This stage is also the most realistic evolutionary upgrade path for hardware.

Taking the smart hardware of the sports market as an example, Zhang You said that he can use the “personal fitness instructor” to describe the hardware at this stage: “Personal Fitness Trainer”. The hardware can remind the movement mode, posture correction, Bluetooth transmission data to the mobile phone, and watch the trend from the App.

This points to the development trend of wearables in the 1.5 era: after the connection between people and things, the final presentation will be more than just data, as well as the so-called "humanity" suggestions and opinions presented through words and pictures. Take an analogy with the current medical diagnosis process:

1. The patient provides various types of physical signs information;

2, the doctor obtains physical signs information, conducts a diagnosis, prescribes or provides a treatment plan;

3. The pharmacy prescribes the drug to the patient or performs other related treatments in the hospital.

Obviously, most of the hardware currently stays in the first phase. The 1.5 era that the author emphasizes is actually in the second stage. If the second stage is not completed, then the so-called intelligent hardware will not be able to achieve the goal of solving the third stage of solving problems and benefiting the human society.

Intelligent hardware

In fact, from the perspective of existing wearable devices on the market (pictured), they can be roughly divided into two categories: Input and Output. From the role played by the two endpoints, it is clear that today's mobile phones act as the execution of most wearable Outputs or, more specifically, as a "screen" feature for presenting data.

But you can't deny that, given the frequency of human use of mobile phones - there is data display, smartphone users view the mobile phone about 34 times a day on average, and the frequency of frequent use of the mobile phone is as high as once every 6.5 minutes. The mobile phone is already everyone's. New "organ". Therefore, in a short time, humans and wearables cannot get rid of dependence on mobile phones.

The most practical way for the hardware in the 1.5 era is to use the mobile phone to present “non-data” feedback on the uploaded data, which is actually presented in our product PICOOC LaTIn smart scale. For example, the proposal for diet and exercise advice was not thought of by many of the previous peers. Before this, many people still only use the scale as a simple weighing instrument, and we hope to use the Internet thinking to further expand the function of the scale, it will calculate and help you analyze the data of various body components; it will guide, like a small health The butler gives you the necessary diet and exercise advice...

So from this point of view, the 1.5 era first has the human-computer interaction function in the initial stage. In addition, please pay attention to the word "real time" above, which means that the intelligent hardware at this stage is actually more viscous than the user.

In the future...

"The next era will be defined by today's social network and the depth of the user's connection. Our job is to find the best way for users to share themselves." This is what Facebook founder Zuckerberg said. This reflects the core of future social relationships. For wearables that have always relied on the mobile Internet, Zuckerberg actually describes a general outline of the future of intelligent hardware development.

After the collector→personal instructor who relies on the mobile phone→the “dialogue” after getting rid of the mobile phone, the future of the hardware will be a complete connection between people and people and the surrounding environment, re-enhance the Internet world through the hardware entrance, through the cloud The outbreak and prediction of data not only allows "I" to connect people, processes, data and things, but also allows "I" to connect the right people, the right processes, the right data and the right things.

2.54mm Ribbon Connector

To use these connectors, the ribbon cable is inserted into the Ribbon Connector and the connector is then plugged into the Ribbon Connector on the circuit board. The connectors are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection that can withstand repeated insertions and removals.

Overall, the 2.54mm Ribbon Connectors are an essential component in many electronic devices that require a reliable and secure connection between the ribbon cable and the circuit board.
