What is the future of television look like? This topic is not only challenging, but with a trace of mystery. People's quality of life is a never-ending demands. Certainly more suitable for the future of television viewing, a more aesthetic style and personality: It may be intelligent, portable, or great, or even the same as Transformers is endless ... ... imagine how the request will not be too much.

In fact, even though it still seems fame, but LCD and plasma's prosperity may only be another 10 years. Continuous innovation of engineers and scientists who already do the burial, "LCD" and "plasma" prepared!

IT giant influx of TV industry

After Google, IT giants, "TV" also continued to rise in enthusiasm.

United States, a renowned international investment bank PiperJaffray an analyst GeneMunster recently said that the next few months Apple will launch new "AppleTV", and will be launched in 2011 to support the film, music, games and interactive TV, Apple TV.

"Even in the static, TV equipment is still a challenging industry." Munster said, "but we will see Apple bring us the best software, hardware and services." Apple TV will be like the original "AppleTV" as with other Apple products such as Mac (Apple Computer) for simultaneous connections.

Proposed the concept of intelligent TV Google apparently did not stop. July 16, Google announced the acquisition of a company called Metaweb database company.

Headquartered in San Francisco, Metaweb was founded in 2005, maintains a file called "Freebase" open database that contains 12 million entries covering movies, books, television programs and enterprise content.

With the same time, Intel also stand the loneliness. In the recent meeting of the American Society of Advancement of Artificial Intelligence conference, Intel submitted a detailed report of new research and development of artificial intelligence remote control. The intelligent remote control can be used by family members, the way the remote control and key efforts to identify which family members actually use the remote control.

In fact, the first aim, "sitting room" is Microsoft. Venus from the earliest planning to present intelligent television, Microsoft has been emphasizing for PC and digital home appliances together form a seamless operation. Similarly, to create digital entertainment system known as Hewlett-Packard apparently hoping that the tentacles of their products out into TV product in the real, rather than trying to make consumers accept the idea of the computer into the living room.

IT giants so keen on the involvement of the television industry, one reason is the rapid development of new technology requires a "discharge port" Now it seems the TV still has such a powerful platform for the plasticity of nature has become the best choice; another obvious reason is that they see the TV in the future status of the family: With the promotion of new technologies, television programming concept just look at the minds of consumers have been gradually weakened, and with multi-application, multi-entertainment's new TV will become the core of future development.

Because of this, Founder Securities IT analyst Zou Wan Hong said that "Although the computer penetration rate is very high, but the television was still there, as was every home entertainment center. To control each family entertainment center, in terms of these IT giants are very important.

TV-made PC mode

Acer companies have known for a variety of products can be produced, but the TV is not in his column. Same thing applies to HP and Dell. But now, they will not only be ambitious TV producer, and is outlining a blueprint for the future development of television. However, they are not the eyes of most of today's living room TV display of traditional products, but a new gadget, it is different from traditional television. The IT vendors also suggests that access, flat-panel TVs more simplified system design will enable manufacturers to include non-traditional elements to make the product unique.

IT vendors hoping to harness their strengths to the rapid development of home networking trends. For example, Google's idea is to redefine television: it is still a TV, but not connected to the Internet all the time, so that any person who has it can create new demand.

In fact, to enter the television industry, Google, Apple and other equipment are different is that it's software and Intel is a high-speed chip. However, the combination of all this make home entertainment easier, and users from the complexity of the TV and matching components rescued by.

At present, the TV manufacturers in the production of television will be all kinds of restrictions, such as the equipment to receive broadcast TV content, TV stations need to meet the requirements. In addition, for consumers who, on the living room De TV yes all the family members are the equipment used, and Qi Gao Da typically last 10 years, therefore, TV Shengchan Chamber of Commerce Jiang Ruhequebao service of public television and Sustainability Fang In the first place.

However, while TV manufacturers try to produce them that "the most to meet customer demand" products, but the result backfired. Although the TV has other devices do not have the following characteristics: to display full HD (1920 × 1080) video / still image> (PC's Web browser for the 800 × 600, mobile phones in general for the 480 × 320); for family members in living room to provide services over the audience (PC and mobile phone for personal use), but the quality and diversity of two-way service, the TV obviously not keep up with PC and mobile phone.

Many excellent engineers have realized that a simple TV receiver is no longer competitive. By the traditional combination of television and the Internet, television will be able to get closer to the daily lives of consumers, so consumers can enjoy their favorite casual interest in the program.

Unfortunately, the current television's Web browser, even if compared with the cell phone, also appears to slow, let alone compared with a PC.

Now, with the low-cost TV with SoC (system contains a complete and integrated circuits with embedded software) of birth and content-based retrieval technologies advance, it all has changed.

We know that in the traditional sense of the information is based on discrete forms, such as characters, numbers, etc., stored in a relational database or the Internet, and to Structured Query Language (SQL) or URL-based hyperlinks to query search. The multimedia data is continuous, and form diverse, vast amounts of information and multimedia data, such as images, video, is a weak structure, in the eyes of different people may have different interpretations, all of the different interpretations make use of key words that obviously is not possible. In addition, keywords can not be effective to express the temporal sequence of video data will not support the semantic relations, one a large storage networks, how to make any type of content Duneng by various applications systems to use Cheng Wei key.

Content-based retrieval techniques have come into being. Communication University of China Professor Lv Rui said, it will be revolutionary --- we are using is based on the keyword search, the latter is used in content-based retrieval, which according to the contents of the attributes we are looking for attention information. "This route is much less pressure, while the utilization of available bandwidth will be greatly increased. Because we will no longer be silly to the data being moved around, but only to transfer those things effectively."

Of course, if TV is to become digital home of the data center must be done as the PC has a "Pentium heart." PC based on Intel-based production of high-performance SoC, coupled with combined power supply, tuner and LCD panel, so that television is increasingly becoming similar to the computer like that, anyone can manufacture goods.

This acceleration of computer models of television velocity.

Future changes in wind direction TV

IT giants led marked the birth of a new television viewing habits in the context of real-time was measured again. No one can determine how long the road will go far, but for sure is that this will bring about unprecedented changes in the television industry.

"TV has huge potential. The future will become more interesting." Recently, more and more engineers from TV producers have expressed similar views, namely: TV Rengran has a very broad future development, can give unexpected as greater the fun!

Traditional television curtain call in our field of vision, while the future of television debut calmly another revolution is brewing.

Thanks to Moore's Law, the development of microprocessor technology and the Internet, television is towards the direction of intelligent data center. As Intel's chief technology officer Justin said, the TV may make you feel unexpected innovation: in the near future, facing the TV you can "speak" and tell it what you want to see, whether you want to see thing from the cable, Internet TV provider, or your own personal video library, TV can immediately provide you with services; You can also browse through a 3D TV interface, video list, a task easily preview is playing program and decided to see which channel.

Countless variety of new TV experience, but change the future of television is not just limited to this, the integration with the PC as a TV might be a new starting point for future change.

For the future, the television industry has demonstrated a number of shape. For example, in November 1999, Sharp developed the world's first plastic liquid crystal displays, liquid crystal display glass than the lighter plastic liquid crystal display 2 / 3, but life was extended 10 times, and even dropped on the ground will not be broken; CLARO launched in 2005 has never seen before on television --- a transparent glass TV, called "Holoscreen", it is through the holographic projection screen to display images onto the glass; Samsung currently has a trial 40-inch OLED display screen, a television production of the new material can be as thin as paper, can easily hang on the wall; the United States, IBM is developing a "soft" thin transistors, on this basis is expected to produce can be folded like a newspaper, television curly ... ...

All kinds of future television allows us to see countless "distant." Well-known media scholar Marshall McLuhan wrote: "the medium is an extension of the human body. Analog TV extension of our eyes and ears. After more than a century after the development of electronic technology, we have extended our global central nervous system . "

Clearly, science and technology as very cautious, from the corners of a little break, eventually leading to a comprehensive change. Our vision is usually the edges of these things by the fetters of living, can not see the overall situation. Difficult to predict the future, but advances in technology should bring freedom and liberation of human life. From this level, the all need to go through to learn to use technology products, not its ultimate style.
