可穿戴设备的由来和发展
The origin and development of wearable devices
可穿戴技术是 20 世纪 60 年代美国麻省理工学院媒体实验室提出的创新技术,利用该技术可以把多媒体、传感器和无线通信等技术嵌入人们的衣着中,可支持手势和眼动操作等多种交互方式。专家预计,今年将销售接近 1500 万台可穿戴智能设备,到 2017 年销售数量将接近 7000 万台。在产品体积越来越小、重量越来越轻、功耗越来越低的趋势下,将可穿戴设备连接到功能强大的智能手机或平板电脑进行数据处理和与云端的数据传输变得尤为重要。因此,移动智能设备已经成为连接一切的枢纽。市场调查机构 Gartner 预计,到 2016 年,可穿戴式智能电子产品的市场规模将达到 100 亿美元,而整个互联网市场将会向移动终端倾斜。
Wearable technology is an innovative technology put forward by the Media Laboratory of Massachusetts Institute of technology in the 1960s. With this technology, multimedia, sensor and wireless communication technology can be embedded into people’s clothes, and various interactive modes such as gesture and eye movement can be supported. This year, nearly 15 million wearable smart devices will be sold by 2017. With the trend of smaller size, lighter weight and lower power consumption, it is particularly important to connect wearable devices to powerful smart phones or tablets for data processing and data transmission with the cloud. As a result, mobile smart devices have become the hub connecting everything. Gartner, a market research organization, predicts that by 2016, the market size of wearable intelligent electronic products will reach 10 billion US dollars, and the entire Internet market will tilt towards mobile terminals.

随着可穿戴技术越来越重要,利用无线连接技术实现设备与智能手机的互联将会成为开发这些设备应用潜力的关键所在。例如,借助近场通信(NFC)技术,消费者可以购买新型可穿戴设备并将其方便地连接到智能手机,进行快速安全的通信,不需要其他复杂的菜单或繁琐的设置过程;借助 BluetoothSmart 和 WiFi 技术,消费者可以从可穿戴设备中获取数据(例如消耗的卡路里、心率等),并将数据传送到智能手机或云端,而不会消耗太多电量;借助 WiFi 直连技术,消费者可以直接将两个 WiFi 设备连接在一起,不需要接入点或计算机;将可穿戴设备与定位技术结合起来,可以实现一些有趣的新应用功能,比如医生可以在临床环境中跟踪患者的情况,零售商可以向消费者发送有针对性的广告信息。
As wearable technology becomes more and more important, it will be the key to develop the application potential of these devices to realize the interconnection between devices and smart phones by using wireless connection technology. For example, with the help of near-field communication (NFC) technology, consumers can purchase new wearable devices and connect them to smart phones conveniently for fast and safe communication without complicated menu or tedious setting process; With the help of Bluetooth smart and WiFi technology, consumers can get data (such as calories consumed, heart rate, etc.) from wearable devices, and transfer the data to smart phones or cloud without consuming too much power; with WiFi direct connection technology, consumers can directly connect two WiFi devices together without access point or computer; The combination of wearable devices and positioning technology can realize some interesting new application functions. For example, doctors can track patients in clinical environment, and retailers can send targeted advertising information to consumers.
可穿戴设备成为热门话题,始于 2012 年 4 月谷歌公司宣布其 GoogleProjectGlass 的未来眼镜研发项目。这款眼镜集智能手机、GPS、相机功能于一身,使用者只要眨眨眼,就能完成拍照上传、收发短信、查询天气和路况等操作。一石激起千层浪。苹果、三星等 IT 巨头也都“坐不住”了,纷纷抢滩可穿戴设备市场。2013 年,苹果密集曝光了 iWatch 的一系列新功能;索尼于 8 月底推出了 SmartWatch 的第二代产品;三星则宣布将于 9 月初推出智能手表产品 GalaxyGear。
Wearable devices have become a hot topic since Google announced its future glasses development project of Google project glass in April 2012. This kind of glasses integrates the functions of smart phone, GPS and camera. Users can take photos and upload messages, send and receive messages, and query weather and road conditions with the blink of an eye. A stone stirs waves. Apple, Samsung and other IT giants are “sitting still” and are scrambling for the wearable device market. In 2013, apple intensively exposed a series of new features of Iwatch; Sony launched the second generation of Smartwatch at the end of August; and Samsung announced that it would launch its smart watch product Galaxy gear in early September.

可穿戴设备发展中的问题
Problems in the development of wearable devices
尽管可穿戴设备给人类科技史带来一场理念性变革,但不是所有的人都看好其发展前景。有业内人士分析认为,可穿戴设备给人类生活带来重大改变,但由于仍处初始发展阶段,面临多重发展瓶颈。美国知名 IT 杂志《eWeek》网络版近日撰文列举了可穿戴技术发展面临的主要难题,包括可穿戴技术仍属于“少数派”,消费者对此缺乏认知;技术卖点不吸引,设计还需多加改进;尚无相应的生态系统配合,为用户提供最好的使用体验;智能手机和平板电脑的功能强大,地位难以动摇。
Although wearable devices bring a conceptual change to the history of human science and technology, not everyone is optimistic about its development prospects. Some people in the industry believe that wearable devices have brought great changes to human life, but they are still in the initial stage of development, facing multiple development bottlenecks. Famous it in America Recently, the online edition of EWEEK listed the main problems faced by the development of wearable technology, including the fact that wearable technology still belongs to the “minority” and consumers lack awareness of it; the selling points of technology are not attractive, and the design needs to be improved; there is no corresponding ecosystem to provide users with the best use experience; smart phones and tablet computers have strong functions and status It’s hard to shake.
在技术层面,可穿戴设备必须立足于云计算和大数据,在没有实现技术突破的前提下,可穿戴设备很难普及。另外,轻巧的可穿戴设备面临的另一个短板是电池。由于可穿戴设备耗电量成倍增加,电池技术发展缓慢将限制可穿戴设备的应用。产品出货量低没有规模效应,成本过高,这就使得产品的定价偏高,影响大规模推广。可以说,可穿戴设备看起来很美,但主力市场尚未真正启动。
In terms of technology, wearable devices must be based on cloud computing and big data, and it is difficult to popularize wearable devices without realizing technological breakthroughs. In addition, another short board for lightweight wearable devices is the battery. As the power consumption of wearable devices has doubled, the slow development of battery technology will limit the application of wearable devices. Low product delivery, no scale effect, high cost, which makes the product pricing high, affecting the large-scale promotion. It can be said that wearable devices look beautiful, but the main market has not really started.
与此同时,可穿戴设备产业链生态系统不够完善,“可穿戴式设备的商业模式成熟还需要时间,很多东西还需要验证”有风险投资人对记者表示,国内的可穿戴设备市场,目前只有医疗领域的商业模式最为清晰;其他的大多停留在概念炒作阶段,盈利模式有待探索,还缺乏实际的变现能力。
At the same time, the ecosystem of wearable device industry chain is not perfect, “the business model of wearable device needs time to mature, and many things need to be verified.” venture investors told reporters that in the domestic wearable device market, only the business model in the medical field is the most clear; most of the others stay in the stage of concept speculation, and the profit model needs to be explored There is also a lack of actual liquidity.
此外,由于可穿戴设备产生大量数据,数据安全和隐私保护问题就显得尤为重要,如果不能找到有效的解决方式,可穿戴设备大规模进入市场后将面临很大的非议。
In addition, due to the large amount of data generated by wearable devices, data security and privacy protection issues are particularly important. If effective solutions can not be found, wearable devices will face great criticism when they enter the market on a large scale.
