What is the magic technology of ultrasonic manipulation?
Ultrasound alone sounds cool literally, but it's really not a technology that we can easily use in our daily lives. Precision measurement is a use case for ultrasound, but it is very professional. For example, the use of ultrasonic bathymeters can measure the flow, course and depth of water bodies such as reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and shallow seas.
When bathymetry, the ultrasonic instrument is placed on the surface of the water or at a certain depth, and the fixed sound velocity of the ultrasonic wave in the water and the time from ultrasonic transmission to reception can be calculated to obtain detailed data.
Is it possible to work in the professional data field with the new Huawei laptop? For example, it is applied to mining, sports competitions, professional training, logistics and transportation, etc., and it is likely to be equipped with some extended sensor peripherals, such as positioning devices, scanning devices, etc.
Another application direction of ultrasonic applications: ultrasonic propulsion. A company called NTT Docomo has launched a new type of drone that uses a circular helium-filled balloon and an ultrasonic propulsion system. No propeller is required, and helium-filled balloons can be kept suspended at high altitude with minimal energy consumption. Compared to traditional drones, it is super quiet, without the buzz of propellers and motors, and the long flight time can collect more data, including taking photos, videos, etc.
Reliable speculation about Huawei's new PC
Huawei has dissected the magic of scenario-based applications, never simply pursuing the showmanship of technology, but striving to solve the actual pain points in user use. However, considering Huawei's pragmatic style, it is unlikely that the notebook will float up, but it is not impossible to achieve smooth use of the computer through air operation.
According to the relevant information of ultrasonic technology, we can also guess some details about ultrasonic control:
Ultrasonic technology literal analysis and sound device correlation, is likely to be achieved through the speaker module, if you want to achieve the purpose of operation, you also need to receive the transmitted ultrasonic waves, and the most appropriate is the microphone.
It is speculated that the control of sound waves is different from the control of AI based on vision, and there is no need for cameras to help achieve AI recognition, and there is no requirement for the light of the use environment. It also does not require physical keys, touch screens, etc. to use the operation of the hand, which is very suitable for some scenes after the hands are occupied, lazy to get started, and turn off the lights, such as chasing drama while eating, video conferencing, dark room operations and so on.
At present, no other laptop in the industry has used ultrasonic control technology, Huawei really realized this function is undoubtedly a major innovation, in the road of equipment intelligence again a step ahead, so that the laptop in addition to the keyboard and mouse, touch screen, AI voice, AI vision has another new way of interaction.
This notebook that supports ultrasonic control, although it does not specify which series of new products, but according to the currently known product information, we can also make a reasonable guess:
Huawei MateBookX Pro series is equivalent to the Mate of the mobile phone product line, which belongs to the most important flagship series, and many of the latest technologies and high-end applications will be used in this series first; from the perspective of Huawei's notebook update rhythm, the digital series of new products was released soon, and the previous generation of Huawei MateBook X Pro was released at the beginning of the year;
So at the node at the end of this year, it is likely to launch a new generation of Huawei MateBookX Pro.
In Terms of Huawei's style, if the new product is a notebook positioned as a high-end flagship like Huawei's MateBook X Pro, it is not just the addition of ultrasonic technology, from the perspective of product positioning, there will be other upgrades that meet the strongest flagship of the year.
brief summary:
Before ultrasonic technology, most of them were used in very cutting-edge and high-end application scenarios, including difficult construction positioning, medical examination, surgery, etc. The cost of related equipment is expensive, and the threshold for introducing civilian products has always been very high.
This time, Huawei implemented ultrasonic control on the notebook, accelerating the popularity of this technology in the mass consumption scene. In a short period of time, it is likely to be applied to more Huawei high-end products, so that the Huawei ecosystem can exert more powerful wisdom capabilities. What kind of surprises will Huawei's new PCs bring to us? Let's wait and see.
