8 trends in the development of the Internet of Things

In the past few years, unless you are closed to the news and turn a deaf ear to what is going on outside the window, you must have heard the term Internet of Things more or less. So, what is the Internet of Things?

In general, the Internet of Things is a network of devices connected to the Internet that can collect and exchange data. Some new brand cars are equipped with multiple applications, which can also be called the Internet of Things. Smart home devices that allow users to remotely control doors, windows and home appliances are, of course, the Internet of Things. In addition, health trackers that allow users to share their exercise progress with friends are undoubtedly part of the Internet of Things.

It is said that the development of the Internet of Things has prospects, do you now work in this field? As the saying goes, men are afraid of going into the wrong line, women are afraid of choosing the wrong lang, Xiaobian for you to introduce a few hot directions of the Internet of Things, I hope to help you.

1 The Smart Home

In the past two years, "intelligence" has become a major topic that people like to talk about. Among them, "smart home", which is related to the improvement of people's daily life comfort, is the most concerned and popular. Smart home remote control has become the mainstream, smart kitchen electricity will burn a new climax! In this good development situation, we can see from the intensive actions of the major giants: the huge competitive situation of the development of the smart home industry has been formed. Smart home brands are mostly based on wireless technology, combining switches, sockets, sensors, cameras and self-developed App to form some linkage scenes.

2. Car networking

Cars have evolved into precision machines with sensors, software, processors and networks. The Internet of Vehicles is connected to Ethernet to achieve seamless access to the network, and some interesting areas include autonomous driving systems, lane changes without the intervention of the owner, and on-board sensors to avoid collisions and accidents.

3. Wearable Devices

Wearable devices, especially smart watches, are gradually entering the hearts of the people. small brands are lonely, while big brands begin to go on the market, which can be roughly divided into three directions: a. female luxury market: representatives are zte, huawei and mira, and the product forms mostly show the trend of ornamentation. B. Tuhao gold fashion market: represented by Samsung, LG, Sony, Fitbit, etc., the products are mostly gold, rose gold, black gold and other colors. C. sports data recording and tracking market: Garmin, Withings, product route direction has not changed, but all of them have launched a parity version and expanded market version.

4. Drones

Unmanned aerial vehicles began to "fight" among manufacturers, with DJI in Xinjiang, Parrot and AutelRobotics, the pioneers of old unmanned aerial vehicles, continuing to lead the way, but there are also new unmanned aerial vehicle brands such as Zero Intelligent Control, LILY, GoPro, Yihang and Pole Wing to occupy the market. It is said that Xiaomi has also joined the UAV team. It seems that this "play" is more and more worth looking forward.

5, Intelligent Manufacturing

Industrial 4.0 is advancing by leaps and bounds, bringing industrial innovation. With the in-depth development of the Internet and the advancement of China's manufacturing 2025 industry, the fourth industrial revolution is about to come.

6. Energy collection

Energy harvesting, will bring a new revolution, the major companies Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, ARM and other hardware technology giants, are trying to develop their own energy sensors and chips. Primary ambient energy sources include light (light energy), heat differential (heat energy), vibrating beams (kinetic energy), transmitted RF signals (magnetic energy), or any other energy source capable of generating an electrical charge through the transducer.

7. Virtual Implementation

Virtual reality sends users to another world. VR (virtual reality), perhaps the biggest highlight of this year, mainly by HTC, Oculus, Samsung GearVR and other giant companies.

8, Intelligent Robots

Intelligent robots continue to advance, and the home robot and toy market will have greater progress.
