The Czech website Letem Svetem Applem quoted an unnamed source as saying on Friday that Apple plans to release a new strap that is connected to the hidden data interface on the Apple Watch, adding new features to the Apple Watch. It is reported that the new strap will add blood oxygen, respiratory rate, blood pressure and body temperature sensors.

2. The original sapphire screen of Apple Watch is from Russia. According to foreign media reports, the scratch-resistant sapphire glass used in Apple's Apple Watch smart watch has now been confirmed by Monocrystal from Russia. According to the most reports from Sputnik News, Monocrystal's total revenue last year was $87 million. At the same time, the sharp depreciation of the ruble, the decline in oil prices and the economic sanctions imposed by the situation in Ukraine have made Monocrystal more competitive in the market. According to reports, Apple mainly uses Monocrystal's 2.0-inch sapphire wafers on Apple Watch, accounting for 40% of the total output. The monthly output is expected to increase from the initial 4 million to 5 million by the end of this year.

Five, face recognition

1. Hitachi released a high-speed face recognition system. Hitachiâ€™s subsidiary in Beijing, Beijing Hitachi North University of Technology Information System Co., Ltd. announced that its Hitachi â€œIntelligentâ€ high-speed face search and recognition system has been officially launched in China. With industry-leading technology and performance, the system can be widely used to build a city security control network to provide strong support for existing video surveillance platforms. Hitachi Intelligent Search integrates the face retrieval and recognition function, which can effectively solve the problem that the video surveillance system can only "see" in the dynamic environment, but it is difficult to "identify" the target object. Through long-term research on portrait feature extraction algorithm and high-speed search engine, combined with the application of new technologies such as deep learning and automatic correction, Hitachi has overcome the limitations of many use conditions, and the core functions and performance of the system have been achieved. A qualitative leap.
