A article takes you into the top ten wearable technologies and functions

There are a wide variety of products in the wearable device market. Gartner, the world's leading information technology research and consultancy, believes that the market mainly includes nine types of wearable devices: smart watches, head-mounted displays (HMD), wearable cameras, smart bracelets, smart clothing, heart rate chest straps, sports Watches, smart Bluetooth headsets and other wearable devices. The market acceptance and product maturity of various types of wearable devices vary. Overall, Gartner expects that wearables will quickly become popular in the next two to five years, from 232 million units in 2015 to 477 million units in 2020, and will generate $61.7 billion in profit opportunities.

The top ten wearable technologies and functions from 2017 to 2018 are listed below:

Biometric certification

Thanks to the fingerprint authentication function of biometric authentication sensors in smart phones, biometric authentication has gradually become mainstream. Biometrics are expected to be more widely used in wearable devices because of the "close-fitting" nature of wearable devices and the ability to capture and generate more complex, reliable, and tamper-resistant biometrics.

Another major use is biometric authentication for wearable devices to support action payments. We have a deep experience in fingerprint authentication for smartphones. Currently, biometric authentication for wearable devices such as Apple Watch and Samsung GearS2 can be used to purchase merchandise through a mobile payment preloaded mobile payment solution. In addition, Tencent Qkey bracelet also has a specific payment function. Gartner predicts that by 2020, more than 45% of sold smart watches will be mobile-free without a mobile phone.

Mobile health monitoring

Wearable health monitoring devices collect and monitor physiological indicators such as weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, sleep, and skin electrical response, and then upload this data to mobile applications and cloud services for monitoring, analysis, and feedback. Depending on whether the wearable device has a medical certificate and a user agreement, the collected data can also be sent to a doctor for monitoring and improving patient care. This area of ​​technology will promote medical research, enable new telemedicine solutions, and improve medical care, which is of great importance to patients with chronic conditions. Mobile Health Monitoring and Biometric Wearables will bring new business revenue through consulting and personalized consulting services while reducing costs, making better use of medical resources and improving patient and patient relationships. Emerging markets have strong intrinsic demand for this technology, because the lack of medical resources in remote areas is a common problem for them but they need to solve the problem.

Energy harvesting for energy boost

Energy boost refers to the use of energy harvesting technology to obtain energy to enhance battery power and extend the life of the device after charging. Radio waves, temperature differences, solar energy, and mechanical vibrations can all be sources of energy harvesting. This technology can generate extra power to extend the wearable device?? 厥褂 倜 跎偕璞 跎偕璞 诵 诵 某 某 某 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8? Huangfu? Relatives?

Smart coach

Smart coaching is most relevant to wearable fitness devices. Gartner divides these devices into five sub-categories: bracelets, smart clothing, heart rate chest straps, sports watches, and other health monitors. A smart instructor is a feature of a wearable fitness device that collects multiple biometric authentication data and sends fitness suggestions, feedback, and notifications to users via intelligent software and analysis tools, fB. Users can use the coaching function to perform specific fitness tasks or training, and collect information about smart fitness tips to improve fitness benefits or prevent sports injuries. We believe this feature will further enhance the value proposition of current wearable fitness devices.

Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA)

Smart watches and bracelets have no screen or screen and control elements that are small in size, and this poses a challenge to the user interface. Virtual personal assistants can overcome this barrier and gradually push users to get intelligent advice through wearable devices in a highly contextualized manner, such as: access, guidance, schedule management, to-do transaction management, and message priority. Wearable sensing technology will develop and combine different biometric data information (eg, heart rate galvanic response) to enable user contextualization, ultimately enabling the virtual personal assistant to provide recommendations based on the user's emotional/emotional state. In addition, wearable devices will play a central role in providing more biometric data points to smartphones, even beyond the emotional sensing capabilities of smartphone facial recognition. This development prospect is critical to promoting the value proposition and advantages of smart watches and bracelets, and will ultimately increase their popularity.

Embedded security

Endless wearable devices bring users a new generation of devices and gradually enter the enterprise. Consumers and organizations have been worried about the security of smartphones and other devices that are now emerging on wearables. Security measures can be deployed in all levels of software and hardware, and embedded security from the hardware (chip) perspective of security measures will be widely adopted.

Appropriate electronic technology

Appropriate electronic technology refers to tracking and electronic component technology packaged in flexible and elastic polymer materials. Based on this technology, we are able to create comfortable and close-fitting biological skin stickers, electronic skin, electronic tattoos, smart clothing, bracelets, sports. Watches and smart watches. Suitable electronic technology combines polymer printing with etching, connecting with real wires, and integrating printing, etching, and tiny real wire components made specifically for electronic technology. In the field of wearable devices, such techniques allow soft, compliant computing elements to be comfortably wrapped or attached to different parts of the body for non-invasive, accurate measurements or palpation.

Wearable device processor

The wearable device processor is an application-oriented standard product (ASSP) or integrated circuit (ASIC) and is a chip-scale system or package system (SiP) designed for the wearable device market. Unlike traditional microcontrollers (MCUs) traditionally used in the wearable fitness device market, wearable device processors integrate processing and other necessary functions at a higher cost than traditional discrete solutions. These wearable device processors bring the highest value proposition to wearables because wearables require more advanced operating systems (such as AndroidWear or Apple Watch OS), download and run applications, and manage complex display programs, multimedia, and sensors. Interface and communication.

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR and AR)

Virtual reality and augmented reality can be effectively used in smartphones and tablets. However, virtual reality and augmented reality applications are another area of ​​immersive technology in wearable devices. Compared with traditional human-machine interface technology, they pay more attention to the actual feelings of human senses. Today, users realize the immersive sensory experience through the head-mounted display O?, a large number of virtual and real-world information must interact with the user and feedback, which requires high-performance computing capabilities. Generally, you can use the high-end PCO to achieve a virtual reality and augmented reality application. The player-type head-mounted display needs to be equipped with a high-end PCO. In the commercial field, it needs to be matched with special Qg capacity or special specifications. Not O?, virtual reality and augmented reality will be paired with a variety of wearable devices to enhance their immersive sensory experience.

Precise motion recognition

Motion/action tracking is based on various motion sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers used inside wearable devices, often combined with sensor fusion algorithms to determine and distinguish between different types of motion. Most of the fitness equipment on the market today has a high-precision, simple step-by-step function. More complex sensor and sensor fusion algorithms can reduce errors by 2% to 5%, especially in the latter, which makes wearables far more functional than simple steps.
