After the epidemic, these technological fields may usher in new changes.
Editor’s note: This article comes from WeChat public account “Three Easy Life” (ID: IT-3eLife), author of Trichomonas.
For most friends, this Spring Festival holiday may be destined to be an unforgettable memory. After all, before that, we have never faced such a long-lasting, “collective holiday” as far as possible to stay at home, and rarely experience the impact of an epidemic in person.
Yes, readers familiar with our life at Sanyi may know that we are a technology vertical website in Wuhan. So this also means that we are currently at the center of this epidemic, and what we see and feel is naturally more real. However, this will not shake our confidence in the future. Spring is bound to come. By that time, all walks of life are bound to usher in a faster recovery and growth.
Of course, when we talk about “recovery,” most of the time refers to the improvement of the general environment and the release of potential consumers ’purchasing power. But on the other hand, there will be some specific consumer electronics products or technologies that may open up sales after experiencing this storm and usher in an unprecedented explosive development. Today, we at Sanyi Life will lead everyone to speculate in advance that these future consumer electronics products may face hot sales.
5G: The time has come for popularization, whether it be mobile phones or the entire ecosystem
If you have read the previous content, you should know that throughout 2019, we really have no Diss 5G technology and all kinds of publicity methods related to it. This is not to say that we are “not aware of the big picture”, but because from the perspective of being responsible to consumers, the 5G network at that time, whether it was the quality or the function and experience of the 5G mobile phone, was hardly satisfactory.
However, as the saying goes, time is changing, with the end of 2019, several mid-to-high-end chip solutions that have finally realized the global 5G standard are collectively available. Previously, the debates on “dual-mode 5G” and “integrated 5G” were instantly meaningless, and Finally, some manufacturers made it clear that 5G mobile phones should achieve the target of 2,000 yuan or even 1,000 yuan. In other words, if there is no sudden epidemic situation, 2020 may be the year of 5G penetration.
vivo was originally scheduled to release the new APEX on MWC20, but now it can only be suspended
Of course, some people may worry that this epidemic may affect the pace of new machine releases and even production by manufacturers, but from the information we know so far, although some manufacturers do cancel the ones originally scheduled for the end of February, There are also plans for MWC to participate in the conference, and some mobile phones will switch to live broadcasts. However, no matter from the development trend of the industry or the information released by the existing research institutions, the impact of the temporary delay on the overall market situation may not be as great as everyone thinks.
Taking the Strategy Analytics report as an example, although they forecast that the domestic market ’s mobile phone shipments will decline by up to 30% in the first quarter of 2020, they also mentioned that manufacturers will actively adopt price reductions and launch more Competitive new products and other methods may make up for a wave of purchases, and it is speculated that the annual decline of the entire industry will only be about 5%, even compared with last year.
Not only that, if you have been a “cloud supervisor” during this time, and you have followed the construction of Wuhan Thunder God Mountain and Vulcan Mountain Hospital, you may notice that this live broadcast is carried out through the 5G network. Although this is not the first time that 5G streaming media technology has appeared in public, it may be the most successful 5G demo with the largest audience and server pressure so far.
5G medicalTherapy conference system
In addition, according to relevant reports from Xinhuanet on February 4, Vulcan Mountain Hospital has also become one of the earliest institutions to apply 5G telemedicine technology in China. Through the 5G remote connection, the Beijing expert team can conduct consultations with patients in Wuhan together with on-site treatment staff, which not only improves the diagnosis and treatment results, but also realizes the efficient operation of medical resources. In fact, as early as October 19, 2019, the relevant departments have released the “Hospital Network Construction Standards Based on 5G Technology” in conjunction with 95 provincial and ministerial hospitals nationwide, and this time Vulcan Mountain Hospital was the first to apply 5G medical technology Examples will further promote the upgrading of 5G technology in the medical system, and then form a strong demonstration role.
Private cloud: Home office demand has skyrocketed, and companies must consider the future
As we all know, in the current period, compared with the inconvenience of individuals in life and medical treatment, the plight faced by many companies may be a sharper situation that is difficult to improve in a short time. For some labor-intensive manufacturing industries, there is nothing they can do now except wait, but for other companies that can implement home-based work, the situation can be said to be good or bad.
The Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce held a meeting by nailing it
The situation is good because as early as February 3, 2020, many savvy Internet companies, cloud computing service providers, and collaborative office software companies will, for a limited time, free their office software for a limited time. This means that for many small and medium-sized enterprises that suddenly need to face home office and management needs, at least the solution and cost control during this time have been resolved in a timely manner. But after all, the “limitation and exemption” of Internet companies is essentially an activity with a promotional trial nature. For any company, it is impossible to rely on remote office software that is free and has no control over it.
Tencent Cloud becomes a national governmentThematic supporter for platform epidemic prevention and control
So this is why we speculate that after this time, the demand of many enterprises in private cloud, edge computing, and remote office system construction will inevitably rise. After all, only by setting up the server in your own hands can we ensure that critical business data is not leaked; only by preparing high-quality dedicated network lines, can we not endure conference calls and frequent “netting” with netizens when unexpected conditions arrive “Ventilation” information exchange. Of course, some netizens also joked that after the incident, some companies may even find that it is more efficient to work through the Internet and private cloud than to let employees come to work. But I have to say that this sentence seems funny, but it actually reflects the fact that many of our current enterprises and units are still not high enough in the utilization of modernization and information technology. Conversely, it can be regarded as a good development opportunity for related industries.
Robots: Fools can catch colds, but robots definitely won’t
As early as 2017, Sanyi Life was invited to participate in a product conference called “All-round Home Robot”. Honestly, at that time, we really could n’t have such a good-looking device, but the configuration and functions were far too good from the “robot companion” depicted in science fiction works, let alone such products The price is generally high, so it is not difficult to guess the difficulty of actually opening the market.
ASUS launches its companion robot products
But now we have to admit that it was overlooked at the time-although this “companion robot” has relatively few features, and although the shape of the screen above the head looks strange, they will not get sick!
Equipment transport robots already used in some hospitals
Yes, just in the most recent period, we have seen more and more robots being invested in helping fight the epidemic.At work. Some of them are responsible for distributing materials, sending food and medicines to an isolated area instead of humans; others are operating in the most contaminated areas of hospitals, deploying ultraviolet disinfection lamps and plasma release devices from the “body” to replace the laborious Medical workers complete arduous killing operations; there are also activities in public places such as office buildings, shopping malls, where long-term temperature measurement, security monitoring and medical guidance are performed, and they are not angry and can work 24 hours a day. .

Objectively speaking, such robots may not be as cool as mechs in science fiction movies or anime works for a while, but they have demonstrated their value significantly in this special period. It is conceivable that after the epidemic recedes, due to the needs of hygiene and “sense of science and technology”, there may be more and more hotels and large hospitals choosing to equip more robots for items delivery and indoor disinfection. In addition, for the manufacturers of such robots, it may also inspire them to equip their products with functions such as infrared temperature measurement, air disinfection, and drug identification, and then get better than some two years ago in some individual users. More market acceptance.
The air purifier is doomed to fire again, but this time it will have a new form
When it comes to air purifiers, this is undoubtedly a hot product in the field of consumer electronics today. No matter when the smog is raging, the season of flu outbreaks, or the season when the new crown epidemic has caused everyone to live at home, if there is a sufficient air purifier in the home, there will always be more people. That last peace of mind.
First of all, technically, the filter particle size of today’s air purifiers can indeed deal with bacteria and viruses, which means that as long as they are qualified products, they can theoretically reduce pathogenic bacteria in indoor air. content. And since most viruses cannot survive on the filter itself, as long as the virus is adsorbed and captured by the air purifier, there is basically no need to worry about the problem of secondary escape pollution.
