Intelligent hardware design and development overview

I. Status of Intelligent Hardware Development

1. The Concept of Intelligent Hardware

One sentence describes: the combination of hardware and software, more intelligent traditional hardware devices.

In fact, life has a variety of hardware devices, such as TV, air conditioning, rice cooker, refrigerator. And this hardware is the transformation of these traditional devices, so that they have more intelligent features. For example, a smart watering hardware, if the flower lacks water, and then automatic watering is intelligent, if you have to open the APP, and then automatically click to water, is not intelligent. If a smart clothes dryer, it rains, it automatically collects the clothes is intelligent, if I have to click on the phone to collect the clothes, is not intelligent.

2. Intelligent hardware categories

Intelligent hardware is endless, only you can't think of it, no can't do it, the current market is particularly large variety of intelligent hardware. According to the industry, it is divided into intelligent home, intelligent agriculture, intelligent transportation, intelligent medical, intelligent factories and so on.

3. Intelligent hardware development trend

From the industry product service three levels, summarize the future development trend of intelligent hardware.

The market scale is rising, and giant companies continue to do ecology, such as millet, Huawei.

The optimization of interconnection and interaction is the focus of development. For example, the small Du small assistant in the smart home launched a smart speaker with a screen.

Complementary advantages, platform intervention, more third-party services.

Second, intelligent hardware application scenarios

Intelligent hardware application scenarios are smart home, intelligent agriculture, intelligent transportation, intelligent medical, intelligent factories and so on.

1. Smart home

The more famous domestic millet, millet's smart home category is very complete, smart phones, smart bracelets, smart air conditioning, smart audio, smart TV and so on.

2. Smart agriculture

Smart agriculture is the application of Internet technology to traditional agriculture, with sensors and software through the mobile platform or computer platform to control agriculture is traditional agriculture more intelligent. Smart agriculture common systems are agricultural greenhouse intelligent monitoring system, intelligent agricultural irrigation system, intelligent soil tester.

3. Intelligent health care

Patients need to register, see a doctor, pick up medicines need to line up a long time, while the time to see a doctor is only a few minutes. But for the medical development to enough popularity, some common diseases directly at home, do not have to run to the hospital, in the use of testing instruments and sensors to collect the data of others, transmitted to the doctor doctor diagnosis, give the appropriate drugs, see the doctor to complete. Common intelligent medical hardware are intelligent heart rate monitor, intelligent blood pressure monitor, intelligent fetal heart meter.

Third, the mainstream technology of intelligent hardware

The mainstream technology of intelligent hardware is hardware technology, communication technology, software technology. Internet of Things architecture is divided into the bottom up, responsible for information collection perception layer (hardware technology), the middle is responsible for communication network layer (communication technology), the top application layer (software technology) three levels, the three cities are indispensable.

1. Hardware technology

Hardware technology is applied to the perception layer of the Internet of Things. Perception layer is like the skin and five senses of the Internet of Things, used to identify objects and collect information is the core of the Internet of Things is the key part of the collection of information. Common hardware technologies are sensor technology, pcb manufacturing technology.

2. communication technology

Common communication technologies are zigbee, wifi, bluetooth, NB-IOT, Lora (Long Range). zigbee, wifi, bluetooth are mostly used in the field of smart home, which is also our life is more used more technology.

NB-IOT, Lora is used in long range, low traffic occasions. For example, NB-IOT is used in the smart lock of the *** enjoy bike.

3. Software technology

Software technology has cloud computing, APP technology.

Cloud computing is a pay-per-use model that provides available, convenient, on-demand network access to a configurable pool of computing resources ****Hedge.

Cloud computing can be thought of as a powerful computer, a huge pool of resources that can be purchased on demand, and billed like water, electricity, and gas.
