We need a new definition, it is based not only on the phone all kinds of functions, but also to cover all kinds of applications we use these products.
The old concept
Old smartphone definition is based on the functionality of mobile phones to give:
The smartphone is based on the cellular network for mobile devices, which uses similar to the PC architecture, through the operating system to run native third-party applications.
Smartphone are cellular-based mobile devices which utilize an operating system that allows for the addition of natively-written third-party applications and are created on a PC-like architecture
This definition is very easy to accept. The smart phone is significantly higher than the traditional PDA and a dedicated phone prices, and more readily available. WiFI access to the GPS function, they almost expect the phone to set up the basic criteria.
Of course, using the most cutting-edge technology also means that in many cases, the user testing of new technology, these new technologies originally may be introduced later at a lower price. Therefore, have a smartphone, and also means that you also responsible for the maintenance functions of the smart phone. Looking for some third-party software is so simple to update the operating system so some of the more complex work, smart phone, the user must assume more responsibility.
Discovery: a new definition of
But slowly, the non-smart phones gradually attached had the functionality of smart phones. The high pixel camera, WiFi and third-party software is no longer the smart phone expertise in these relatively "low-end" smart phones running a proprietary operating system platform to achieve the same functionality and smart phones, and gradually lower prices.
So why now the ordinary cell phone can not, and before the so-called smart phones, also known as "smart phones"? In view of this, I appeal to redefine smart phones.
In addition to all mobile phones are declared similar characteristics, the smart phone value is reflected in its ability to interconnect a number of services, cellular or wireless data communications services to support smart phones via a web browser or other relatively advanced programs to provide services.
I propose a new definition as follows:
The smartphone is a mobile device, which uses the mobile network and wireless services through integration with the phone hardware and operating system directly related to the various types of wireless services to enhance the user experience.
Smartphones are mobile devices which utilize cellular and wireless software to enhance the user experience of mobile-enabled services by connecting to those services by direct ties into the operating system and hardware of the mobile device.
In short, this definition of the extension, it applies not only to the phone to install third-party software, but also to use those applications can use the phone specific hardware and software advantages, in order to enhance the mobile experience of the phone.
According to this definition, we would say that those who claim that the built-in GPS receiver, mobile phone is a smart phone. And those who only use Assisted GPS receiver phone is not all cell phones can support A-GPS functionality, but the software is not alone GPS positioning.
Using this definition, we can also see the operating system to continue to play an important role in mobile devices. But it is more as a giver, not a Fu intended. That do not allow developers to obtain various kinds of API permission to develop third-party software, extended phone functions of the operating system will be considered a closed system. Therefore, the running operating system mobile devices but is a dedicated phone.
No doubt, careful scrutiny of this is a very rough definition. But if you think deeply about the smart phone itself has a strict concept and focus on areas of concern. In this new definition of the framework, smart phones can be re-raised his banner of innovation, forward-looking, while reflected by the rise of Web 2.0 and the integrated concept of the mainstream "join" (connectivity).
