The Maker community will play an important role in the size of the arch wearable device market. Because the wearable device market is different from general consumer electronics, it must be combined with semiconductor technology, such as fabrics, fashion, and other user interface (UI) design expertise. Therefore, chip vendors such as Intel and MediaTek are all co-sponsored to assist the world. The Maker community is faster to create a small and affordable wearable device development platform and development plan to accelerate the expansion of the overall market.
Tom Foldesi, senior director of Intel's new device business group, believes that wearable devices used by consumers should not only have practical functions, but also have a beautiful appearance.
Tom Foldesi, senior director of Intel's new device business group, said that the main challenges facing the wearable device industry include the need to provide unique/proprietary computing technology for the application area, the need to provide life-saving features, and the wearable device itself. Personal characteristics and fashion, can be connected with cloud technology, and finally, must create new life experience.
Foldesi further pointed out that the development process of wearable devices is not as simple as the previous mobile devices. On the contrary, semiconductor manufacturers must cooperate with fashion design, sports fitness devices and brand operators to ensure user experience is perfect, and Intel will be able to provide Resources such as intellectual property (IP) licenses, components or development boards, and reference designs allow these developers to turn innovative ideas into real products.
It is understood that Intel has launched the Intel Edison development board for the wearable device market, built-in low-power 22nm (nm) process dual-core Quark processor, and integrates wireless area network (Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth (Bluetooth) and other functions. In addition, Intel has launched a wearable device idea contest called “MAKE IT WEARABLEâ€, inviting global makers to use the Edison development board to jointly propose innovative designs, and the first prize winners will receive a prize of $500,000. .
Coincidentally, MediaTek also released the LinkIt development platform a few days ago to promote the application development of the wearable device market. The LinkIt platform is based on MediaTek's Aster system single-chip (SoC), the smallest SoC in the wearable market today, designed for wearable and IoT applications.
Xu Jingquan, general manager of MediaTek's new business development department, said that MediaTek will promote the growth of the wearable device market in several major directions. The first is to provide a software and hardware application platform (ApplicaTIon Platform), but unlike the smart phone era, The company will be transformed from providing the Turnkey solution to giving the Semi-turnkey solution, allowing customers to have more customization space, followed by MediaTek to continue to provide highly integrated system-on-a-chip and ensure long-haul evolution (LTE), Wi- Technology solutions such as Fi, Bluetooth, and Global Navigation and Positioning System (GPS) are interoperable. Finally, the company will propose a more complete maker community platform, the LinkIt platform.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to providing a development platform, MediaTek also publishes the “MediaTek Labs†maker community program. The company noted that MediaTek Labs will serve as a hub for MediaTek's services for developers, including software development kits (SDKs), hardware development kits (HDKs), and technical documentation, as well as technical services for device manufacturers and application development communities. Business support.
Xu Jingquan emphasized that the wearable and IoT device competition sponsored by MediaTek has been fully launched. The company invites all walks of life to brainstorm and design wearable devices. The winners will have the opportunity to be invited to MediaTek at the Consumer Electronics Show 2015. The (CES) exhibition area was exhibited and further evaluated for commercialization possibilities.
