What applications will Bluetooth technology have in the future

Pass the data! The so-called Bluetooth (Bluetooth) technology, in fact, is a short-distance wireless communication technology, the use of "Bluetooth" technology, can effectively simplify the communication between mobile communication terminal devices such as handheld computers, laptops and mobile phones, and can also successfully simplify the communication between these devices and the Internet, so that the data transmission between these modern communication equipment and the Internet becomes more rapid and efficient, and broadens the road for wireless communication. To put it in layman's terms, Bluetooth technology makes some modern easy-to-carry mobile communication equipment and computer equipment to be networked without the help of cables, and can realize wireless Internet, and its practical application range can also be extended to various household appliances, consumer electronics and automobiles and other information appliances, forming a huge wireless communication network.

The background of the formation of "Bluetooth" is as follows: in May 1998, Ericsson, Nokia, Toshiba, IBM and Intel Corporation, five well-known manufacturers, jointly carried out the standardization of short-range wireless communication technology proposed Bluetooth technology, the purpose of which is to provide a short-range, low-cost wireless transmission application technology. The five vendors have also formed a Bluetooth Special Interest Group to enable Bluetooth technology to become the wireless communication standard of the future.

Chip overlord Intel is responsible for the development of semiconductor chips and transmission software, Ericsson is responsible for the development of wireless RF and mobile** software, and IBM and Toshiba are responsible for the development of notebook interface specifications. In the second half of 1999, the famous industry giants Microsoft, Motorola, Sankang, Lucent and five companies of the Bluetooth special group jointly initiated the establishment of the Bluetooth technology promotion organization, thus setting off a "Bluetooth" boom around the world. The global industry is about to develop a large number of Bluetooth technology application products, so that Bluetooth technology presents an extremely broad market prospect, and indicates that the beginning of the 21st century will usher in a magnificent wave of global wireless communication.

At present, the main application of Bluetooth technology in the field of consumer electronics, with the popularity of Bluetooth and the rise of the mobile Internet, the application of Bluetooth technology from mobile phones, tablets and other portable devices to the Internet of Things, medical and other new fields to expand, many Bluetooth applications based on mobile platforms for the entire wireless market to bring new business opportunities.

Wearable. In the past two years, the rapid growth of the smart wearable device market is closely related to Bluetooth technology, Bluetooth is small in size, low cost and low power consumption, providing a perfect solution for long-term use of small battery-powered wearable devices to save power and traffic, wearable devices supporting Bluetooth technology can not only communicate with smart phones, but also communicate with each other and the Internet, which is of great significance to the intelligent design, development and management of wearables.

Smart door locks. The smart door lock has a built-in Bluetooth module, which can realize remote control to open the door with a mobile phone. Moreover, it can monitor the status of the door lock in real time, and control the entry and exit of the home anytime and anywhere.

Now Bluetooth electronic door locks have risen overseas, and Bluetooth technology has a lot of room to rise in the smart door lock market.

Asset management. Bluetooth technology can transmit and receive wireless signals, the communication distance can reach 100 meters, and within the effective range can be connected through obstacles, there is no special communication angle and direction requirements, and the physical state, operation process and service can be comprehensively managed. The application in asset management is expected to be called a new wave of Bluetooth technology innovation and development.

Child targeting. The representative of Bluetooth positioning technology is iBeacon, which is a Bluetooth low energy precise micro-positioning technology developed by Apple. Through this technology, the device can receive a certain range of signals sent by other ibeacons, this low-cost development technology is widely used in many children's positioning products at home and abroad, once the child and the parent exceed the safe distance, the parent's mobile phone will immediately send out an alarm to ensure that the child is in a safe position.

Mobile payments. The combination of Bluetooth and mobile payment is an important embodiment of the security and convenience of mobile security solutions, and the emergence of various Bluetooth keys, Bluetooth POS and other smart terminals in the past two years has injected new vitality into the development of mobile payment. All kinds of financial IC card terminals are connected to smart phones through Bluetooth transmission, which has also become an important data entrance for financial IC cards to access the Internet.

Application list: 1. Wireless control and communication between mobile** and hands-free headphones.

2. Wireless control and communication between mobile** and Bluetooth-compatible car audio systems.

3. Wireless control and communication of tablet computers and speakers and other equipment.

4. Wireless audio stream delivered to the earphone, no communication function.

5. Wireless network between PCs with low bandwidth requirements in a limited space.

6. Wireless connection between computer and input and output equipment, common mouse, keyboard, printer.

7. Transfer files, detailed address book information, calendar schedules, memos, etc. between devices that can be exchanged objects.

8. The dial-up Internet access of personal computer or PDA can use the mobile ** with data exchange capability as a wireless modem.

9. Health sensor data is transmitted from medical equipment to mobile**, set-top boxes, or specific long-distance health devices for short distances.

10. Cordless ** is allowed to ring or answer in place of nearby moving**.

To solve new wireless connectivity challenges and create new business opportunities, the Bluetooth community is continuing to expand the use of the technology. After solving the problem of audio transmission, Bluetooth has expanded into the field of low-power data transmission technology. Today, Bluetooth is meeting the market's demand for indoor location services and reliable networks of large devices.

Audio transmission. With Bluetooth, headphones, speakers, and home entertainment devices no longer require cumbersome cables, revolutionizing the wireless audio transmission market. While expanding into new markets and applications, Bluetooth wireless audio solutions are also growing, with shipments expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% over the next five years.

According to the latest "2019 Bluetooth Market Update", by 2023, 39% of all Bluetooth peripherals shipped (excluding mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers) will support audio transmission.

Data transmission. The idea of a wireless, connected world is fast becoming a reality. From fitness trackers and medical health monitors to toys and tools of all kinds, millions of new Bluetooth Low Energy data transmission devices are freeing consumers from wired devices every year.

The wide range of applications of Bluetooth technology shows us that everything can be a connected device. According to **, in five years, the annual shipment of basic data transmission solutions will increase from 100 million units in 2018 to 1.3 billion units. According to the "2019 Bluetooth Market Update", data transmission will become the largest Bluetooth solution area shipped in 2023, even surpassing Bluetooth audio transmission.

Needless to say, low-power Bluetooth that connects data to applications and services is gaining popularity. Everything can be a connected device, and Bluetooth innovations beyond traditional applications are increasing day by day. By 2023, 14% of connected endpoints will exceed the application definition of the traditional device category, a 7% increase from 2018.

Bit Xun Xin Qing Zhi service.
