The grandmother of the nursing home will also use ** New Year's greetings, and customize New Year's greetings with "Wenxin Yiyan", and the pace of science and technology for the elderly will be accelerated; AI provides one-stop services for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, dishwashing, and sweeping the floor, and technology is everywhere; Watching the Spring Festival Gala on the vertical screen, seamless switching of multiple perspectives, high-definition without delay, immersive stage interaction system, the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Dragon is full of "science and technology"; When you go out to play, the APP makes independent reservations, intelligent guides, and virtual experiences to highlight the "smart" ...... of the scenic spot
The lively crowd and rich cultural and tourism activities together draw a prosperous Spring Festival travel, consumption and tourism picture. Technology empowers consumption upgrading, bringing a unique flavor to the Year of the Dragon.
The "blue ocean" hidden in the "silver economy".
*New Year's greetings have become an important way for the elderly to "meet" their children who are far away. At noon on February 9, a reporter from this newspaper came to Tianjin Nursing Home to visit 88-year-old Grandma He, and happened to see Grandma He talking to her granddaughter ** who was far away in Canada.
Don't worry about me, you study hard, I'm fine here, and when you're not busy with studying, when your parents have time, come and see me together. She told her granddaughter in **, "Although it is far away, I often meet and chat with you on my mobile phone now, and I feel very satisfied, which I couldn't have imagined before." We eat well, sleep well, play well, and have so many old friends around us to talk to, and we are not lonely. "For the elderly whose children are far away in a foreign country and cannot accompany them for the New Year, ** visit" has become an important way to pay New Year's greetings. Technology has shortened the distance between time and space, making "meeting and chatting" at your fingertips.
In the ensuing chat, Grandma He also proudly demonstrated the new skills she had just learned from her old friends at the nursing home, customizing New Year's greetings with "Wenxin Yiyan". Technology has enriched Grandma He's life in her later years. The transformation of mobile phones for the elderly has made a lot of progress, no longer simply the word is big, but also specially set up the "elderly mode" - slow down the feedback speed, increase the vibration, and the mobile phone slows down with the elderly users; Enhance the screen contrast, graphics and text can be seen more clearly. The most gratifying thing is that these mobile phones have an emergency SOS function, and some can also set blood type, medication, allergies and other information on the security card. Science and technology are suitable for the elderly, and initial results have been achieved.
Although the mobile phone system has been improved for aging, the APP has not changed with it, even if there is a separate age-appropriate function, you need to change the switch in the application one by one, and the convenience is greatly reduced. At the same time, we also see that there are many elderly people around us who want to use their mobile phones to send messages but don't know how to input Chinese characters, and they can't accurately find the one they need in many apps; If you want to use your mobile phone to transfer money, you are afraid of unnecessary losses caused by improper operation......Before you know it, you suffer from "technophobia". Science and technology are suitable for the elderly, and there is a long way to go. According to data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, by the end of 2022, China's elderly population aged 60 and above exceeded 2800 million people, or 19 percent of the total population8%, of which the elderly population aged 65 and above accounts for 149%。According to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2022**, by 2035, China's elderly population will exceed 400 million, accounting for 31% of the total population.
In most people's perceptions, the elderly have low consumption demand and weak spending power. As everyone knows, at present, the retired elderly have become an important consumer group, and they pay more attention to meeting their own consumption needs and consumption experience. The evolution of the aging society will have a profound impact on the consumption pattern and consumption behavior, we should abandon the stereotype of negative consumption of the elderly, fully explore the resulting special consumption needs, seize the development opportunities to provide targeted services and derivative formats for the elderly, and continue to subdivide and deepen the industry services directly or indirectly related to the elderly.
The silver economy involves a wide range, a long industrial chain, and diversified business formats. The supply side of the silver economy is in the blue ocean, involving 10 fields such as anti-aging and prevention, health examination management, dementia prevention, independent living support, etc., covering medical and health, precision instruments, finance, hotel catering, food, education and entertainment, textiles and garments and other industries.
According to relevant estimates, at present, the scale of China's silver economy is about 7 trillion yuan, accounting for about 6% of GDP. By 2035, the scale of the silver economy is expected to reach about 30 trillion yuan, with huge potential.
The ** Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2023 proposed to "develop the silver economy". The first executive meeting in 2024 will focus on the silver economy, study policies and measures, and propose to make good use of the market mechanism, give full play to the role of various business entities and social organizations, better meet the multi-level and diversified needs of the elderly, and jointly promote the development and growth of the silver economy. At the beginning of 2024, the General Office of ** issued China's first policy document named after the "silver economy——— Opinions on Developing the Silver Economy and Improving the Well-being of the Elderly", proposing 26 measures in four areas. In the future, the country will focus on cultivating high-end products and high-quality service models, so that the elderly can share the fruits of development and enjoy a happy old age. In terms of people's livelihood, the state will expand and develop services in seven areas, including services such as meal assistance for the elderly, home visits, community convenience, elderly health, elderly care, cultural and sports for the elderly, and rural elderly care.
For a long time, the "silver economy" will be in the "adolescent stage", and it is necessary to continue to deepen and refine the development of business diversification.
This requires enterprises to be good at discovering the needs of the elderly for high-end quality and light health care, actively carry out age-appropriate transformation of products, enrich the types of products specially designed and manufactured for the elderly, and create a "silver economy" atmosphere of scientific and technological innovation and ecological health with the vision of building a better life, so as to open up new growth points for the development of the information technology industry.
The Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon is "science and technology fan".
Watch the Spring Festival Gala on the vertical screen, seamlessly switch between multiple viewing angles, and ...... high-definition without delayWith the pace of becoming a scientific and technological power, this year's Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon is also becoming more and more "scientific and technological", bringing an immersive experience to the audience.
AI-made AR rendering presents a beautiful virtual and real space
This year, CCTV Spring Festival Gala innovatively introduced the VP (virtual production) film production mode, created XR (extended reality) + VP virtual and real fusion ultra-high-definition production system, and presented a beautiful virtual and real space through new shooting methods such as dynamic storyboard rehearsal and virtual and real light and shadow linkage. At the same time, CCTV Spring Festival Gala deployed an immersive stage interaction system in the studio hall for the first time, and the free-view ultra-high-definition shooting system collected the actors' movements in an all-round way, captured the wonderful moments in the program, and brought a visual experience of the integration of people and scenery through AI (artificial intelligence) production and AR (augmented reality) real-time rendering. The mother who watched the Spring Festival Gala with the reporter couldn't help but sigh that compared with when she was a child, the current technology has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Hundreds of LED screens cooperate with the ultra-high-definition ** control and supervision system independently developed by the main station to realize the change of scenery in the Spring Festival Gala stage scene. Using 8K 4K ultra-high-definition broadcast technology, "Li Bai" and the audience sang "Will Enter the Wine" at the Xi'an branch venue, and had a dialogue across time and space, reproducing the magnificent scene of poetic Chang'an.
The scene of the 2024 Spring Festival Gala.
It is understood that the main station studio hall of all kinds of stage lamps and lanterns totaled 1462, the number is also a historical record, switch, brightness, color, action are controlled according to the program programming, with the director's password operation, quiet sound field control and colorful stage lighting efficient cooperation, to create a festive and jubilant atmosphere.
5G-A technology supports "immersive" watching the Spring Festival Gala
State-of-the-art AR technology creates a dreamlike stage effect, while 5G-A network mobile HD live streaming delivers a stunning visual experience. This year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala fully realized ultra-high-definition production in response to the presentation needs of TV, public large screen and mobile phone terminals, and dedicated the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" of the Spring Festival Gala with a sense of science and technology to the audience. Almost everyone who keeps their mobile phones in their hands can also watch the Spring Festival Gala with a vertical screen on their mobile phones.
The 5G-A private network uses distributed micro-stations and base-level computing engines to create a wireless minimalist ** shooting and production and broadcasting network with greater bandwidth, lower latency, higher reliability, and integrated synaesthesia, which can greatly reduce the complicated cable layout and connection in the live broadcast environment, and photographers can travel lightly, flexibly intersperse, and efficiently track the best points for shooting. The use of 5G-A technology makes the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala stable, high-definition, delicate and vivid, even if you are in a foreign country thousands of miles away, it is also low latency and no jamming. According to the relevant person in charge, the high-performance 5G-A private network can not only realize wireless ultra-high-definition shallow compression shooting, but also seamlessly mix the images between wireless cameras and wired cameras, which is the first time in the new production and broadcasting application.
In addition, the vertical screen live broadcast of this Spring Festival Gala also adopts lightweight AR shooting technology, which can easily and quickly create the actor's passage into a world of virtual and real integration, providing the audience with a different mobile camera perspective.
In more than 5 hours of high-definition live broadcast, the transmission is always stable and reliable, and the ultra-high-definition live broadcast picture is smooth, clear and stable, presenting a more beautiful program for the audience. Under the escort of 5G-A technology, this Spring Festival Gala has rejuvenated the cultural elements that span thousands of years, with smooth and natural connections in all links, clearer picture effects, more vivid color expressions, and more realistic experiences. From the VP film production mode to the collaborative use of "scenery screen sound and light", new technologies, new ideas and stage effects are integrated, which enhances the artistry, scientific and technological content and cutting-edge fashion sense of the 2024 Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Dragon.
Tech is everywhere
The flavor of the New Year is strong, and the intelligent atmosphere is stronger. During the short and happy Spring Festival holiday, returning to the hometown for the New Year is naturally the first choice for many people. You only need to pay a little attention to notice that the life that seems to be the same as the old days has long been full of traces of smart products.
Visiting relatives and friends is one of the highlights of the Spring Festival, when relatives and friends get together, the host will inevitably have a good meal, and the rhythmic chopping sound and noisy range hood in the kitchen are the background sound of the Spring Festival for many people.
Many people are not good at cooking, so they rarely pay attention to the real-time dynamics of the kitchen, and family gatherings generally play the role of "greeting" with tea and water. But listen attentively this time, before the mother of the reporter develops the spoon to start cooking, she will always shout crisply "Hello, Xiaozhi", the familiar local voice is tightly wrapped in it, and the deformed Mandarin is abrupt but full of joy, because the mother knows that the next second she will get a response of "I am in", and the smart range hood will be awakened by "Hello" to accompany the whole cooking process.
For the reporter of "Far Kitchen", the biggest label of the smart range hood is probably human-computer interaction, but for the mother who frequently uses the kitchen, the smart range hood provides a more efficient and convenient possibility in terms of function, cleaning, noise, etc. Of course, smart products can occasionally be "mentally retarded". The family was chatting in the living room, but the kitchen that should have been quiet suddenly came with a response of "I'm here", presumably it was the family's conversation that inadvertently touched the key words of human-computer interaction, which led to the ironic situation.
Every time the festival is three pounds fat, the children who shout ** on weekdays are naturally quite reserved in front of the Spring Festival food. But parents who feel sorry for their children and hospitable relatives always like to say "you have lost weight again" at the dinner table, so it is logical to help add food and vegetables. "Eat a little more once in a while and won't get fat" is another classic saying of parents, but the soaring numbers on the scale after the dinner always make the people feel helpless. But now the debate can be put to an end with scientific data. In the past, the scale only gave a general number, but today's smart scale, people only need to stand up for a few seconds, and the supporting smart app will display a more rigorous and accurate data table including body fat percentage, muscle mass, water content, etc., and small changes related to weight are recorded. The cousin in ** took out the real data changes about his weight, and easily refuted the parents' "you are not fat" shush and asked for warmth, proving that he was really fat. In the past, the unpleasant topic has become a friendly interaction for data exchange in front of the smart scale.
After the guests and hosts have enjoyed themselves, they will inevitably leave a mess. Melon seed skins all over the ground, children's footprints after stepping on snow, and hair that can't be picked up make cleaning a heavy physical task. In this year's New Year, the reporter bought a sweeping robot as a New Year's gift. Different from traditional cleaning methods such as brooms, mops, and floor scrubbers, sweeping robots can almost free their hands: the sensors and intelligent technology equipped with the robot allow it to independently plan routes and avoid obstacles, and can clean hard-to-reach corners and crevices; An efficient vacuum cleaner can suck up dust, hair and other substances that are not easy to clean, saving time and effort. Mom and Dad no longer have back pain due to cleaning fatigue, and reporters don't have to worry about frequent housework. The only problem may be that when encountering "difficulties" such as table corners and sofa bottoms, the sweeping robot will occasionally get stuck and require human intervention. It can be seen that although the master does not need to work by himself, he must also do a good job of "supervision".
The wisdom of the "ancient capital" Xi'an collides
The Spring Festival cultural tourism market in 2024 is very suitable to describe as "hot and hot". The reporter and his family came on a "go-and-go" trip, and the destination was Xi'an, the "ancient capital". As a propagandist in the field of science and technology, experiencing the construction of smart cultural tourism in Xi'an is also an important purpose of this trip.
APP self-reservation, scanning*** for detailed information, intelligent guide, virtual experience, etc. seem to have become the "standard" of smart scenic spots. Datang Never Sleeps VR Experience Center perfectly integrates vision, hearing and movement, so that everyone has an immersive feeling; The 3D stereoscopic visual picture presented by Datang Sleepless City New Lehui Plaza brings a super visual impact with realistic effects. While strengthening the personal wisdom experience, Xi'an is also focusing on creating a holistic and systematic smart scenic spot. It is understood that Datang Sleepless City's 5G+ smart tourism has been successfully selected as the first batch of "5G+ smart tourism" application pilot projects of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; Chang'an 12 Hours Smart Tourism Immersive Experience New Space was selected into the first batch of national smart tourism immersive experience new space cultivation pilot list announced by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Walking through the "Chang'an Twelve Hours Block", while feeling the cultural boom of the Tang Dynasty, you are also deeply attracted by the novel installations or games. When you enter the neighborhood, you will first be greeted by a sundial, a token unique to the neighborhood, the Kaiyuan Tongbao, and changing lights and shadows.
The night view of the city that never sleeps.
It is understood that there are many digital technology "figures" behind these novel devices or games. In order to correct the pointer of the sundial, the neighborhood uses artificial light sources to simulate the sun's trajectory in a day, all of which is carried out by a control system. By inputting the trajectory data of the sun in Xi'an into the control system in advance, the electronic gyroscope, servo motor, and light source are made into a module. The angular position of the light source is collected every 15 seconds by the gyroscope, and then compared with the pre-set sun angle parameters, and then the angle of the light source is corrected by the servo motor. As a unique payment system in the block, in order to ensure the security of transactions, the block has developed a complete token transaction management system to realize the whole process tracking and management of the token from issuance to transaction.
In addition, building a smart district project is also a new path for Datang Sleepless City to explore the integrated development of culture, business and tourism. Since the renovation and upgrading of the pedestrian street, it has mainly spread the culture of the Tang Dynasty in the mode of "night tour IP". Through the establishment of a security intelligent command center, it has realized the functions of real-time lighting special effect control, first-class density early warning, emergency plan start-up, etc., enriching and improving the intelligent construction of the block; The Xi'an City Wall Scenic Area has established a smart scenic spot security system, which connects more than 1,000 monitoring image data inside and outside the Xi'an City Wall and surrounding parking lots to the information center to realize the functions of personnel and passenger flow statistics and moat water level monitoring; Relying on the unique resources of the city wall, the Hanguang Gate Digital Museum and H5 game project were developed.
