Rapidly falling prices, and software tools that significantly improve the ease of design, are expected to be the driving force behind the new generation of inertial sensor applications that will bring differentiation to mobile consumer devices; the first built in MEMS The iPhone (MEMS) accelerometer and the Will game console have brought user interface leather by introducing somatosensory control. Life, product designers still spend a lot of time to clarify how to fully use the performance of inertial sensors.
Now, thanks to the decline in price and related design knowledge base and environment becoming mature and sensor design easier, inertial sensors are preparing to enter a wider range of somatosensory control and precision location applications; market research agency Yole Developpement estimates that those new The development will promote the penetration of components such as accelerometers and magnetometers in mobile phones, reaching nearly 50% in five years.
Currently, gyroscopes are almost the basic equipment for all tablet devices, mainly because Apple's iPad accounts for more than 90% of the market. In addition, Yole Developpement also expects that the application scale of inertial sensors in consumer electronics will reach an average annual growth rate of about 24% in the next five years, and shipments will reach 5 billion in 2015.
However, the application of inertial sensors in the game field is still limited to a certain extent; accelerometers are already necessary for mobile phones to provide horizontal and vertical screen switching functions, and some products are also used to provide pedometers. Features. The magnetometer was adopted in a large number of mobile phone products last year to provide the correct navigation and pointing function. In addition, multiaxis MEMS gyroscopes have only reached the acceptable price point and production capacity of consumer products. For the first time, they have entered the mobile phone market and have already entered all tablet devices. The initial use of games is mainly based on games.
Lower prices will help motivate wider adoption; Yole foresees that the price of discrete inertial sensor components will continue to fall. Take triaxial accelerometers as an example, from 0.7 dollars in 2010 to 0.3 dollars by 2015 or Less than 0.1 USD per axis. Part of the reason for the cost reduction of this type of solution is that the accelerometer can be packaged with the magnetometer, or the accelerometer and the gyroscope, so that the two sensor devices can share one ASIC controller; this can also improve the sensor data.
Another reason for pushing MEMS sensor penetration is that it is increasingly easier to convert sensor output data into useful applications; leading vendors including ST, InvenSense, etc. can provide an increasing number of software and link libraries for mobile phones. Tablet device manufacturers can more easily add basic somatosensory control capabilities to system products.
