2020 CES No Hot Spots? Yang Yuanqing Interprets The Future Trend

In January 8th, the annual 2020 CES continued.

"This is not a lift TV?" A guest participant asked the economic news reporter in twenty-first Century in surprise.

Before the LG exhibition of Las Vegas Convention and Exhibition Center (LVCC), the guest took a video of the TV screen rising and falling. In the video, the TV screens on the top three blocks of the next five blocks are moving and closing. A fierce look will make people feel confused about this mechanical visual presentation.

However, they are not simply lifting. At the end of the screen movement, they each curled up into the black cuboid base. This is the latest black technology that LG will focus on this year, CES: curable TV OLED TV R (Signature Series 65R9).

There are many other black technologies. Before the OMRON booth, a robot resembling a big spider and occupying about half a table tennis table attracted many guests to stop. It is OMRON's table tennis robot Forpheus. In the match between the field and the human race, Forpheus has lost and won, and has displayed his own table tennis skills which are not inferior to ordinary people.

In addition, including folding mobile phones, 5G, 8K, smart home has also become a hot topic.

However, in Lenovo Group Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing, the hot spot of CES this year is not beyond his imagination. "Lenovo Tech World in November 2019, we shared the trend and key points of future technology development, that is," end to side cloud network intelligence, "Yang Yuanqing, who appeared on CES, read to the twenty-first Century business reporter." this year's CES also embodies these trends. "

Lenovo's "anticipation"

This CES has no burst point, which is the common feeling of many consumer electronics practitioners. From the beginning of the new technology to the beginning of the amazing throb, people have become slightly tired or even numb.

If the flicker of the surface is brushed off, in Yang Yuanqing's view, the current CES is still clearly showing a major trend in the mainstream. It is also consistent with the future of the "end edge cloud network intelligence" conceived by Lenovo Group.

"Apart from PC and mobile phones, there will be more and more terminal products and solutions around smart home, smart office and intelligent travel, and the compatibility between terminal products will also become better and better." Yang Yuanqing told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report. For example, Lenovo's Lenovo One, launched in November last year, can facilitate the synergy between mobile phones and PC.

The so-called "edge", from the perspective of consumer electronics, namely family storage server. In the family of individual users, the storage server can be used as family storage as well as edge computing device. "Cloud" refers to infrastructure including cloud computing, cloud operation and cloud services, which help to promote the operation of all kinds of terminal devices. The trend of "net" is undoubtedly the 5G network of the current hot.

"On such a basis, we can achieve various intelligent applications, including smart home, intelligent office, intelligent education, intelligent travel and so on," Yang Yuanqing pointed out. "To sum up, the technology development we see is not divorced from Lenovo's" end edge cloud network intelligence system ".

It is precisely because of early anticipation and even layout that Lenovo Group is well prepared to show many quite attractive products. "We mainly display intelligent IOT devices in our exhibition area, which mainly focus on three aspects, including making existing devices more intelligent, developing new smart devices and commercial IoT devices for trillions of commercial markets." Before the booth, a Legend Group staff briefed reporters on twenty-first Century economic report.

Terminal also includes the Thinkpad series that Lenovo has always been proud of. ThinkPad is the sub brand of Lenovo after its acquisition of IBM PC in 2005. According to the latest data statistics at the end of December 2019, Lenovo's Thinkpad products shipped 150 million units worldwide, accounting for 31% of the total commercial market share.

On this year's CES, in addition to the world's first folding screen computer ThinkPad X1 Fold launched by Lenovo, there are still some products familiar to users: ThinkPad X1 Carbon that can fold 360, use 4K to display, and support Dolby panoramic sound effects. There is only one global minimum full function computer host ThinkCentre Nano M90n with mobile hard disk size, small commercial commercial equipment in the industrial scene.

In addition, Lenovo's foldable mobile phone Motorola Razr, Lenovo 5G PC, AR/VR products ThinkReality also attracted much attention.

Technology accumulates for a long time

During the interview, Yang Yuanqing made clear that he would like to see the future of the folding screen in the field of consumer electronics.

As the only vendor to display foldable computers and foldable mobile phones on CES, Lenovo's determination and devotion to folding screens has been on occasion.

"As early as June 2016, Lenovo has released a concept machine for folding screens and mobile phones in San Francisco, and now is the time to blossom and blossom." Yang Yuanqing told the economic news reporters in twenty-first Century, "this also fully reflects Lenovo's insight into the market trend, thinking about the frontier technology and the innovative ability of Lenovo."

It should be noted that the folding device is not only a folding screen, but also contains many innovations. "Motorola Razr mobile phone has achieved the zero space and zero gap fit of the upper and lower screen, which is also the core of its innovative manufacturing concept." Motorola product expert Chris Francica introduced to the twenty-first Century economic report reporter at CES. At present, most of the folding screen phones on the market have obvious corners, and they can not be fully integrated.

At the interview site, Yang Yuanqing also had high hopes for 5G. He pointed out that with the global layout and commercialization of 5G, Lenovo will have more and more 5G phone products on the market. At the same time, Lenovo is also extending 5G to PC and even wider commercial IoT intelligent devices, "these future will better play the value of 5G."

In addition to keeping the device "always online" through 5G, Yang Yuanqing believes that the intelligent elements of the device also include voice intelligent interaction, which is also one of the highlights of this CES product, including Lenovo. According to reports, this CES Lenovo and Amazon cooperation, with more than 40 models of products equipped with Alexa voice assistant.

Behind all this is the long-term technological accumulation of Lenovo. "At present, the total number of patents has reached 27000, and the number of patents has increased by about one thousand or two thousand per year," Yang Yuanqing pointed out. "We are also actively participating in the application of 5G patent, and a small team is developing 5G core patents. We hope to become a member of China's 5G patent contribution company. "
