Technology Hotspot 2013: Long-range wireless charging attracts attention

The 2013 CES conference has closed and now is a good time to speculate on the technology this year. The following is the forecast of the industry media Android Authority:

Here we are going to explore the next turn on the road to hi-tech. When you are moving forward, you may not be too safe to look at the ground too far, so we will not speak too far ahead. In 2013, we'll see some great products, including everything from television to mobile devices. Whether these predictions will become a reality in the text will only be verified by time, but we do not think it will take too long to verify.

Remote wireless charging

One of the weirdest things in the mobile space is that you can not move while charging. We should have walked around with a mobile device, but when charging it, we had to plug it in and put it in a fixed position. Batteries are being assigned more and more responsibility, battery life is not surprising. Plug in the power cord to recharge the device is very inconvenient, why are we still doing so?

Wireless charging pads for Palm Touchstone and Powermat are available, so wireless charging is not new. It's really exciting to be able to charge the device without a power cord, but not a breakthrough. If you still need to put your phone somewhere to recharge, the only benefit is that you do not need to plug in the power cord. And using remote charging technology, all this may change. Is not the phone more convenient and more fun than just placing it on a charging pad on the desk, as long as it's in a single room?

At present, the wireless charging technology uses the principle of "magnetic induction". When you place the phone on the charging pad, the phone receives a short-range electromagnetic current by charging the pad, and then the phone is powered on. This is completely different from long-distance wireless charging technology. The long-distance charge uses the near field magnetic resonance principle, which currently ranges from 1 to 2 meters (this is just the beginning), and once a qualifying device goes into the "charging field", the device will Automatic charging. Do not need to put on the charging pad, do not need the data line or power line.

Long-distance wireless charging is very convenient. Like the current WiFi hotspots, charging hot spots will appear. When you're traveling by car, your car no longer needs clumsy cables and you can charge all your devices. The same is true in other modes of transport. Starbucks will surely keep pace with the times to provide charging hotspots for buses and MTR stations that provide charging hot spots.

Is there any drawback to this technique? Apple has applied for a patent for it, Apple + Patents = trouble, so it may not be available soon. The only solution that can bypass this technique is to use the antenna. But placing yourself in a giant magnetic field full of antennas looks as if it is dangerous. And no matter what kind of remote wireless charging technology, we do not know what impact it will have on the human body. After all, this is a gadget that emits microwave frequencies, which can affect your health, even in small quantities.

TV set  

In the domino of visualization technology, came first in television. The world's first TV looks like a Nexus 7 glued to the fridge, but it's a major breakthrough. Since then, we have undergone many developments and changes. From the recent situation, if the concept of Samsung can be achieved, the television will be from the heavy living room facilities into the wall of the "photo frame."

In the past few years, TV sales have been declining, down 6% last year, and the market expectations for 2013 are not good. What happened? Why the television market is so depressed? The answer is very complicated, but most of them are related to changes in our needs, in addition also has some connection with our understanding.

In the past few years, the loss of traditional cable subscribers has been huge. There are a variety of reasons for the loss, with some terminating monthly subscriptions and not many new users opening services. In short, we no longer spend so much time watching TV, so for today's consumer, the purchase of the latest and best TV is no longer so important. Even with the help of devices such as Google's TV or Roku set-top boxes, people's appetite for lighter and thinner TVs is diminishing. In our minds, televisions and cable shows are closely linked, though media evolution has gone beyond cable programming. For us, using the television to do other things is still a rather strange concept. A recent study shows that about half of the connected televisions, which are not connected to the Internet by the owners, illustrate the problem.

Slim TVs are on the rise, and for the past five years or so we have moved from plasma to LCDs to LEDs and OLEDs. The latest forefront of technology is 4K, which is a variant of LCD. Some people refer to 4K as ultra high definition, but OLEDs are also ultra-high definition technologies, but the cost of producing OLEDs is too high and LCDs are more cost-effective. If the 4K technology has a better price, we will buy this TV. Manufacturers will also make 4K OLED TVs, but that belongs to the "high-end" device.

That is to say, the production costs of ultra-high-definition television have been reduced, and the manufacturers will not put the eggs in this basket. We've been on the road to resolution for years, and it has not been as good for consumers as it used to be. High-resolution screen is wonderful, but it's not everything. The television becomes thinner and thinner, and we hope it can be wall-mounted to save space. We do not have room to put Roku set-top boxes, so manufacturers are putting these technologies in their TVs. For those who do not need or do not want to buy a new TV set, these technologies can be made like a USB flash drive Dongle, plug in the TV behind, it will not take up space.

You may like to play video games in the living room. The gaming industry has also been hit by the rise of the mobile space, with sales of games and consoles falling. Once impregnable gaming industry is now also questioned. People really love the game, with the development of mobile games and the audience increase. We left the television but did not leave the game.

OUYA is trying to change it all. Although OUYA is not an earth-shaking technology, the concept can bring us back to the television. OUYA is an Android-based gaming device that uses a television as a monitor. It is a cross-border product between home-console games and mobile games. You play Android games, but there is a physical handle. And it's open source and anyone can develop games for it. All games are free to play, but developers can make money in the game. As some old works have been ported to this platform, and some new works have been born, OUYA can bring us back to the living room. & n
