The electronic compass will show amazing growth from mobile phone to camera

More and more mobile devices such as mobile phones and game consoles are equipped with sensors such as acceleration sensors, gyroscopes, and electronic compasses. The market size of sensors for consumer electronics products will grow significantly in the future. Lead to great changes in the industrial structure.

Experts believe that in the use of consumer electronics products, the electronic compass market will experience very substantial growth. Shipments in 2010 were 280 million, which will double to 550 million in 2011. The amount of shipments increased slowly due to the continued decline in unit prices, reaching approximately US$430 million in 2011.

It is understood that electronic products equipped with electronic compasses will be mainly mobile phones, and will be expanded to include game consoles and digital cameras. The application of e-compasses will also continue to increase. For example, after taking pictures with a digital camera, GPS can be used to embed photographs as ancillary information of photographs, and then be used together with photographs on SNS community services.

Experts say that in addition to the continuous growth of the single sensor in the sensor market, the “integrated sensor” that integrates multiple sensors in the same package in the future will also grow substantially. This integrated sensor integrates the acceleration sensor and the electronic compass in the same package, or integrates the acceleration sensor and the gyroscope into a single package. In the application, sensors used in the past for mobile phones and game machines can be integrated in a small package, so that each package will have 6-axis to 9-axis sensing space.

In the future, when the mobile device starts to be equipped with a large number of such multi-axis sensors, the data it outputs can be used to calculate more subtle user actions. For example, it is possible to estimate the pedestrian position estimation of the user's walking state in the room, and the use of real real space and augmented reality linked to the virtual space will become more and more widespread.
