A further expansion of the market size

With the explosion of smart wearable devices in 2014, with the official launch of Apple's Apple Watch in 2015, Huawei's Huawei Watch, HTC's Grip fitness band and virtual reality headset Vive and other new products released, smart wearable products will be It will become more fashionable, smart and richer in variety. According to IHS, the global wearable device market will reach $30 billion in 2018. IDC expects global shipments to reach 111.9 million units in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate of 784,000.

B. All parties in the industry chain further strengthen cooperation

The wearable device market industry chain mainly includes hardware, industry applications, social platforms, operational services, big data, cloud computing and other links. At present, the wearable device industry is not mature enough. The products of different manufacturers are independent and closed with each other, lack of cooperation, and lack of effective data sharing. At the same time, each wearable device develops its own application and data business platform. This end-to-end R&D model is costly and risky, and human resources are scattered, making it difficult to focus on your core strengths. In the future, all parties in the smart wearable device industry chain will strengthen cooperation to jointly promote the development of the industry.

C and related technologies are further integrated and standardized

Standardization can promote industrial division of labor and strengthen interoperability and cooperation between enterprises in different fields, thereby optimizing resource allocation, improving R&D efficiency and quality, and enabling all parties in the industry chain to strengthen innovation and create products with core competitiveness. The standardization of data management and application interfaces between wearable devices and mobile phones facilitates the integration of multiple wearable devices, reduces the complexity of third-party development and applications, and standardizes multi-data integration and sharing, which is convenient for users to manage and expand the ecological chain in a unified manner.

With the expansion of the smart wearable device market, smart wearable devices will be further integrated with life health and mobile Internet technologies, the low-power design and R&D level of wearable devices will be further improved, and intelligent human-computer interaction technology and product applications will be developed. . After further breakthroughs have been made in key technologies such as low-power and high-performance microprocessors, intelligent human-computer interaction, flexible and stretchable devices, miniaturized energy supply, and short-range wireless communication, the market for smart wearable devices will further expand.

D The security of smart wearable devices is further strengthened

Most smart wearable devices use an open operating system and use wireless connection for external communication. Moreover, at this stage, product development focuses more on the realization of functions, and does not pay much attention to the security of the device itself, resulting in many security risks. The main information security risks faced by smart wearable devices come from two aspects: internal vulnerabilities and external attacks.

Some smart wearable devices with virtual reality function distract users when using them, which affects their personal safety. Google Glass makes the user's eyes focus for a long time, which may have a certain impact on the original human physiological structure. All electronic devices generate radiation, and smart wearable devices have long-term close contact with the human body, especially head-mounted devices such as glasses and helmets. Therefore, it is particularly important to control, require and regulate the radiation of smart wearable devices. Some wearable devices that have been in contact with the skin for a long time cause discomfort or allergic reactions to the user's skin, and it is necessary to prevent the wearable devices from causing damage to the body. With the popularization of smart wearable devices, the security of smart wearable devices will receive more attention, and its security will be gradually improved.

E-related applications are becoming more and more abundant

At present, there are few applications developed for smart wearable devices. In terms of the number of applications, for example, the Pebble smartwatch has more than 1,000 applications, while the Sony smartwatch has more than 200 applications, and the Gear has only 70. Different from the user needs of smart phone products, various smart wearable products target different market segments, so the ecosystem of smart wearable applications is seriously fragmented, which is why there are fewer wearable applications. Developers developing applications for these environments have become It is very difficult, and the cost of time and energy is greatly increased, and application is the key to the development of smart wearable devices.

In addition, some killer apps are necessary for the popularity of wearable devices. At present, many wearable applications are still like extensions of smartphones and tablet applications. Wearable applications need to break this model and develop applications for things that smartphones cannot do. Wristbands, which will occupy an important market share of smart wearable devices in the future, will have killer applications in the health and fitness category. A wide range of applications native to smart wearable devices will help promote the popularization and application development of smart wearable devices.
