The previous article had been introduced the new technologies of Bluetooth v3.0 + HS and Bluetooth v4.0 + LE, so we will realize that Bluetooth wireless technology is making big breakthroughs in new markets. Next, let’s see how the Bluetooth SIG can help your company find new opportunities for your products. Basically, the major [...]

  Without external network connection, Bluetooth technology defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other. Thus, among the wireless transmission technologies, Bluetooth technology is a short-range communications technology that is very convenient and secure. Nowadays, you can find it in billions of devices ranging from mobile [...]

  In recent years, consumer electronics (CE) products with smart features have always become the hottest topic in everywhere. Apart from the already widely-spread CE products, the automotive field has also started being part of the“smart family”. For the automotive market, the Smart Car must be more functional and user-friendly to allow advanced technology adoption, [...]

  Nokia 挾「芒果」以令諸侯？！ 還記得那些年，我們一起玩的貪食蛇嗎？還記得那些年，「科技始終來自於人性」的Nokia耐摔機嗎？ 這幾年，行動裝置作業系統出現「典範轉移」，市場上幾乎呈現iPhone OS與Android系統競爭大餅的情勢；反觀，Nokia自家的Symbian幾乎被市場邊緣化，讓這個芬蘭傳奇在智慧型手機市場上慘遭滑鐵盧，間接撼動了獨佔多年的手機市場龍頭地位。然而，Nokia在2011年2月宣布與全球最大軟體業者Microsoft結盟成為戰略夥伴關係，欲藉由Windows Phone 7.5系統；也就是俗稱的「芒果機（Mango）」，挾強大合作氣勢，再次挑戰智慧型手機市場的戰國時代。目前，Nokia與Microsoft分別在智慧型手機與作業系統上重振旗鼓，我們不可忽略的是在雙方合作之下，是否能藉由長久根植於人心的品牌形象，再次重返榮耀，創造雙贏的綜效。

  Along with the mature high-definition video display technology, people have higher expectations on audio/video experience today. For consumer electronics (CE) devices and home entertainment products, supporting HD audio/video transmission has become an essential requirement. However, while the tendency of mobile devices’ form factor is smaller and smaller, making a product design embedded HD signal [...]

    To pursue a better quality of life, people put a lot more efforts into exercise and diet today. The healthcare market is getting bigger while the rate of aging is rising, many kinds of reasons have raised the importance of medical electronics, and the increasing importance allows healthcare industry to come up with [...]

Since the last article “Exploring the Quality of SSD – A Testing and Evaluation Report for SSDs in the Market Today” was released in the end of 2010, we have received a large amount of positive feedback from readers and followers. In order to response to all the requests from our followers, we are releasing [...]

    近年來，隨著高科技應用逐步導入個人生活領域，智慧型消費電子產品的熱潮可謂持續高燒不退，而除了已漸趨普及化的消費性電子產品以外，汽車也開始邁向智慧化時代。對於汽車市場而言，智慧化汽車（Smart Car）的要求必須更為多元、人性化，並考量到其安全性及方便性，包含車用娛樂及衛星導航的技術導入。在車用環境的互連通訊中，手機是推動智慧化不可或缺的一環，然而，手機與汽車兩個差異甚大的市場，不僅容易產生系統之間的不相容情形，結合多樣技術的手機及汽車產品也容易讓兩方功能不能有效地共同運作。正因為看見了智慧手機和車載顯示器之間的雙向連結的需求，使全球創新的組織汽車連線聯盟技術標準 CCC (Car Connectivity Consortium) 應運而生。

隨著智慧型手機與平板裝置這幾年在消費性電子領域的迅速崛起，各家廠商無不竭盡所能的競相爭逐。若以作業系統來作市場區分，撇開歷史悠久的Nokia Symbian作業系統不談，目前可說是蘋果的iOS與Google的Android兩雄相爭，而RIM的Blackberry與微軟的Windows Phone 7（以及最近甫推出的Mango），則也前仆後繼試圖以不同的策略突破重圍。

 隨著高畫質影像顯示技術的越益成熟，現代人對影音感官體驗的要求也更甚以往，支援高畫質影音傳輸介面像是HDMI、DisplayPort等標準對各種消費型電子裝置與家電產品來說已經是必備的基本條件。然而，在行動裝置走向體積輕薄短小的趨勢下，既有支援高畫質技術的影音傳輸接口不僅對行動裝置來說造成設計上的困難，較高的耗電量更是會大大影響對行動裝置而言至關重要的待機時間，加上消費市場對行動影音串流的需求孔亟，於是全新的行動高畫質連結技術標準MHL（Mobile High-definition Link）便應運而生。
