As of December 2013, China had 618 million internet users, marking a significant shift in how people access and interact with the online world. By the end of that year, mobile internet usage had risen to 81%, up from 74.5% in 2012, with over 500 million mobile users. The country added 53.58 million new users in 2013, raising the overall internet penetration rate to 45.8%, an increase of 3.7 percentage points compared to the previous year. The internet has not only transformed daily life but also reshaped how people learn, work, and engage with society at large.
With the rapid evolution of internet technology, new digital terms have become increasingly common. To help users stay informed, China Superhard Materials Network has compiled and organized these emerging internet terminologies, aiming to provide clarity and insight into this fast-changing landscape.
**Big Data**
"Big Data" has emerged as one of the most influential concepts in the IT industry. It refers to massive, fast-growing, and diverse data sets that require advanced processing techniques to unlock their commercial value. According to Gartner, Big Data is a high-value information asset that demands new analytical models to drive better decision-making, deeper insights, and improved operational efficiency.
Following cloud computing and the Internet of Things, Big Data represents another major technological transformation. While cloud computing provides storage and access to data, it's the analysis of this data that unlocks real value. Enterprise transaction data, IoT logistics, and user interaction data all generate vast volumes that exceed traditional IT capabilities. Harnessing this data can reshape business models, organizational structures, and even societal norms. Companies that fail to leverage Big Data risk being left behind by more agile, data-driven competitors.
**Cloud Computing**
Cloud computing is a metaphor for the internet and its underlying infrastructure. It allows users to access powerful computing resources—such as servers, storage, and applications—through the web. With cloud computing, you can perform complex tasks like simulating nuclear explosions or predicting climate change, all through a simple device like a computer or smartphone.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines cloud computing as a pay-as-you-go model that offers on-demand access to shared computing resources. This model enables quick provisioning with minimal administrative effort, making it highly efficient and scalable.
From a technical perspective, cloud computing and Big Data are closely linked. Big Data requires distributed computing architectures, which rely heavily on cloud technologies such as cloud storage, virtualization, and distributed databases. Together, they form the backbone of modern data-driven enterprises.
**Patent Navigation**
Patent navigation is a specialized website that organizes and categorizes intellectual property-related sites, such as those for patents, trademarks, and copyrights. It simplifies the process of finding relevant patent search tools and provides users with direct access to essential resources without needing to remember multiple URLs.
Many patent navigation platforms offer additional features like email login, search engines, and IP news updates. As an evolution of traditional website navigation, patent navigation enhances efficiency for professionals in the field of intellectual property. It is becoming an essential tool in the broader trend of improving online accessibility and usability.
In China, the Zhengzhou New Material Industrial Park serves as a pilot zone for national patent navigation initiatives. This project supports industrial innovation by leveraging patent information and integrating it with cloud computing and Big Data technologies. It helps predict trends in the super-hard materials industry and supports strategic decision-making for companies and policymakers alike.
By promoting the effective use of patent resources, the patent navigation experimental zone enhances industrial competitiveness, guides innovation, and improves operational efficiency. Fuyang New Materials Industrial Park continues to focus on reducing enterprise costs and strengthening technological competitiveness, further advancing the development of China’s super-hard materials sector.
