Perhaps not the “light of the Internet” is no longer dazzling, but only the spectrum and angle have begun to change.

Osmanthus fragrance is floating, and the Chinese Internet circle is frequency-adjusted to Wuzhen time. This is an annual convention.
Compared with previous years, this year’s World Internet Conference is a lot of low-key. Capital has entered a cold winter and international relations have become more complicated. The pace of technology has not been a major breakthrough for a long time compared to a few years ago…
The day before the opening ceremony, we came to the pavilion opened in advance, hoping to find the trend of the Internet circle this year. However, there is only one word in the mind: static.
The major players continue the established strategy of a few years ago, and small and medium-sized companies are still running in the direction of education, medical care, finance, and industrial digitalization. Compared with the emerging technologies and new models that emerged a few years ago, the Internet field in 2019 is “stationary”.
Still stands for bad? Obviously not. The development of society requires more than one technological innovation after another, but it is also the application of the sinking heart. Or, under the static surface, there are countless tiny trickle surges.
Split depth
In the International Pavilion, we met three entrepreneurs from Australia who started their careers around sports events.
Jackson is a crazy sports fan. A professional in marketing, he experienced a crisis of club closure, so he was inspired to create SportsCube, a sports sponsoring platform. The platform docks sponsors and sports clubs and charges a service fee at a rate of 20%. Only two weeks after the launch, the company has obtained more than 40 customers. Jackson said the company is looking to partner with big Chinese brands such as Tencent and Ali to encourage them to join the platform as sponsors.
Jackson’s partner Jeremy operates a company called BoomStatsAnalysis, which is a SaaS cloud platform. The platform tracks the health, fitness, and season of sports teams, athletes, and coaches. Provide data guidance for professionals such as personal trainers, academic researchers, and workplace consultants.

Jackson’s father is focused on equestrian scenes and runs a company called Alerte, which provides cost-effective sensors and analysis systems for the health of horses. He introduced that four sensors were placed at the four corners of the horse’s seat cushion as follows to detect the body posture of the horse during exercise and to determine its health. When coming to China, Alerte hopes to find a manufacturer partner and plans to open an office in Hong Kong to expand Hong Kong’s competitive equestrian market.

The unique needs are derived from unique market soils. Australia is a big sporting country. In this sparsely populated country with a population that is only comparable to Shanghai, it includes cricket, Australian football, league football, horse racing, and basketball, tennis and other national sports.
The enthusiasm of the Australian people for sports is evident in the number of Olympic medals. At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Australia ranked 10th in the rankings with 8 gold, 11 silver and 10 bronze. Compared with the population base, its sports strength can be imagined.
Compared with Australia’s leisure, the landing scene of domestic companies is a little nervous.
The future of the school is a teacher rating system, which combines voice, image, text, expression and other related technologies to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the instructors.
Before the vision of smart education has been aimed at students, focusing on the monitoring of learning effects and the planning of learning paths. This good future will extend the reach of technology to teachers, which can be described as another depth direction in the field of wisdom education.
The car voice manufacturer Spirent has quietly expanded a new track. Under the guidance of the consistent ToB strategy, Spirit has cooperated with equipment manufacturers such as Newman and Kodak to output the voice capabilities of office scenes.
Considering that domestic companies such as Keda Xunfei and Sogou have introduced voice recorder products, these old audio hardware manufacturers are now working with technology companies to develop smart voice-related services. Is it slightly late? What kind of market will they be playing in the future? What kind of strategy is it adopted? It is not clear yet.
Also for the office scene, Evernote presented its first hardware product, Impression Pen. It is expected to be accompanied by a book and three refills at a price of 1,000 yuan. According to the staff, the pen tip has a built-in camera that recognizes and stores the handwriting as an electronic document. And because the writing process produces pen tip motion trajectory data, the OCR accuracy of writing text using the impression pen will be great.The accuracy of recognition of still pictures.
Before, Evernote sold around the Evernote Market, and the market reaction has been tepid. It only appeals to a small number of diehards and sentimental parties. This time, increase the production of intelligent hardware, can you achieve the explosion? We will wait and see.

This year’s World Internet Conference, the booths of the three major operators of China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom are all together, and each booth is hung with 5G words.
Since the commercial trial on June 6 this year, 5G officially entered the consumer market. According to China Mobile’s staff, Zhejiang Province is in the forefront of the 5G deployment in the country, especially during the World Internet Conference this year, Wuzhen maintains full coverage of 5G signals.
The three are shouting 5G, but the focus is different, which may be related to the frequency band and the corresponding transmission rate. Mobile main culture and video communication, big data, artificial intelligence related technologies and applications; Unicom focuses on smart cities, industrial Internet; telecommunications main 5G + 8K live, digital government and digital economy.
In the field of financial technology, the difficulty of financing SMEs has always been a problem that the state and the society strongly call for multi-party cooperation to solve.
With this conference, Tongdun Technology released the financial service platform for small and medium-sized enterprises, combined with data analysis, machine learning, and credit evaluation technology, and assisted financial institutions in conducting business judgments with the help of the underlying data of the same shield and official government data. Micro-business owners provide quality financing services. The same shield has joined forces with the municipal government of Hangzhou, Xiamen, Tangshan and other cities to obtain more accurate evaluation results based on data on water, electricity, coal and taxes held by the government. At present, the platform has been applied in Yuhang District of Hangzhou City and has achieved first-mover advantage in the industry.
The small microfinance service platform of Tongdun is not an isolated case. Only one week ago, Zhongxin Credits won the bid for the “Hangzhou Financial Integrated Service Platform” system construction project. In recent years, in order to attract more high-quality enterprises to settle in, local governments have increased their investment, and similar micro-enterprise financial service platforms have become a powerful force for the government. Under such a background, local governments have cooperated with financial technology companies to open up data and technology to jointly solve the financing problems of small and micro enterprises.
Through IDG Asia, we met the driverless company PixMoving. Unlike most unmanned companies on the market, PixMoving is the world’s first open hardware autopilot platform with a self-developed 3D printed autopilot chassis. The team conducts chassis, algorithms and sensing systemsIntegrating links creates a closed loop from hardware to software to applications.
For the purpose and necessity of 3D printing vehicle chassis, company co-founder Zhu Xiaosong gave us three dimensions of answers: first, it can significantly shorten the time period from vehicle design to production; second, at 10000 Within the product, the production cost is better; third, combined with the AI design, the number of parts in the mechanical part can be greatly reduced.
For the future
On the night of the opening of the conference, the geek park reporter saw the Turing Award winner Martin Hellman and his wife Dorothy. Martin is a pioneer in cryptography. He invented public key cryptography 45 years ago and won the Turing Award in 2015. Today, about 35 trillion system implementations a day are based on its theoretical foundation.

The invention of 45 years ago won only four years ago, and Martin laughed that “the winners are not in the same circle.” When we shouted “unfortunately”, Martin suddenly philosophically said: “All the bad things are actually good,” and the topic is drawn to his attitude towards life. Based on his philosophy and his way of getting along with his family, Martin and his wife co-authored a book. Perhaps for the 75-year-old technical master, the true return to life is his most comfortable.
Compared with the long history of public key technology, BMW’s future concept is too young.
At the show, BMW presented a concept car for future unmanned scenes. The vehicle cancels the physical button and replaces it with the virtual button of the central control center. The steering wheel and pedals are retained, and the user can switch between automatic driving and manual driving modes by voice. According to the staff, this model will be mass-produced in 2021.
