????不遠(yuǎn)的將來,，大家可以走進(jìn)自己的家里,，將手機(jī)里的內(nèi)容直接傳進(jìn)電視里。這個(gè)預(yù)言聽起來是不是很耳熟,？那可能是因?yàn)檫@件事情已經(jīng)進(jìn)展了至少十年了,。

????想要實(shí)現(xiàn)家中的無縫連接，最大的障礙之一是互通性問題——電視機(jī),、手機(jī)和家里的其他設(shè)備都是由不同的操作系統(tǒng)驅(qū)動(dòng)的,，無法使用同一種語言彼此“交流”。為了解決這個(gè)問題,，移動(dòng)產(chǎn)品芯片制造商高通（Qualcomm）開始建立開源的網(wǎng)絡(luò)平臺(tái),，希望借此讓鄰近的設(shè)備相互聯(lián)通。（大體說來,，這是一個(gè)位于現(xiàn)有操作系統(tǒng)之上的軟件層,。）本周二上午，這家位于圣迭哥的公司做出了更進(jìn)一步的努力,，宣布向名為“AllSeen聯(lián)盟”的開源社區(qū)的成員公司開放所謂的AllJoyn編碼,。

????高通的互動(dòng)平臺(tái)部門主任羅伯?錢德霍克說：“我們從最開始就希望明確一點(diǎn)：此舉的意義在于構(gòu)建一個(gè)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)?！?/p>

????云計(jì)算公司Rackspace創(chuàng)立了開源云平臺(tái)OpenStack,，雅虎（Yahoo）也在大力贊助大數(shù)據(jù)軟件項(xiàng)目Hadoop。與之類似,，高通希望通過對(duì)社區(qū)開放AllJoyn編碼,，推動(dòng)這個(gè)蓬勃發(fā)展的行業(yè)的公司來完善編碼，同時(shí)把它用于研發(fā)“物聯(lián)網(wǎng)”——賦予所有家庭和工業(yè)配件微處理能力和聯(lián)網(wǎng)能力已經(jīng)成為趨勢(shì),。高通的最終目標(biāo)是什么,？顧客對(duì)智能和聯(lián)網(wǎng)設(shè)備的需求越多，高通的芯片和其他配件就越能大賣,。

????LG電子是AllSeen Alliance的早期成員公司之一,。這家公司已經(jīng)宣布將發(fā)布與明年生效的開源協(xié)議兼容的智能電視。夏普（Sharp）,、HTC,、松下（Panasonic）、思科（Cisco）和其他許多公司也都是這個(gè)聯(lián)盟的成員公司,。

????Linux基金會(huì)擔(dān)任AllSeen聯(lián)盟的主持,，基金會(huì)的執(zhí)行理事的吉姆?澤姆林說：“高通編寫的代碼是經(jīng)過深思熟慮的。我們?nèi)缃窨梢园阉鼞?yīng)用于迄今為止從未想過的事情上,?！?/p>

????目前，高通的大部分精力都圍繞著利用AllJoyn共享媒體內(nèi)容。不過公司相信在不遠(yuǎn)的將來,，開源技術(shù)可以應(yīng)用于安全系統(tǒng),、煙霧警報(bào)器、可穿戴設(shè)備,、醫(yī)療設(shè)備,，當(dāng)然，還有智能手機(jī)之間,。

????顯然,，AllSeen 聯(lián)盟的成功不僅依賴于有多少公司加入，還依賴于有多少制造商真正把開源代碼應(yīng)用到了他們的新配件上,。不過如果說有哪家公司首先開始努力構(gòu)建物聯(lián)網(wǎng),，同時(shí)團(tuán)結(jié)了各種各樣的制造商，這家公司非高通莫屬,。它已經(jīng)將產(chǎn)品賣給了大多數(shù)配件制造商,，還通過以往推動(dòng)智能手機(jī)和高速數(shù)據(jù)網(wǎng)絡(luò)的爆炸式增長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)歷證明了自身所起的作用。如今,，當(dāng)智能手機(jī)的銷量增速放緩時(shí),，高通希望自己的加入——和整個(gè)行業(yè)的推動(dòng)——可以開辟出全新的蓬勃發(fā)展的微芯片市場(chǎng)。換句話說,，趕緊準(zhǔn)備好,，在不久的將來，你就能把手機(jī)里的內(nèi)容傳輸?shù)诫娨暲锪?。（?cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????Someday in the not-so-distant future, you'll be able to walk into your home and stream content from your phone straight to your TV. Sound like a familiar prediction? That's probably because it's been in the works for at least a decade.

????One of the biggest hurdles to the seamlessly connected house has been the interoperability issue -- the fact that TVs, phones, and other devices around the home are powered by different operating systems and can't "talk" to each other in the same language. To fix this problem, mobile chipmaker Qualcomm (QCOM) has been working on an open-source networking platform that aims to connect nearby devices to each other. (It's basically a software layer that can sit on top of existing operating systems.) On Tuesday morning, the San Diego-based company took its efforts one step further, announcing it will spin out the so-called AllJoyn code to an open-source community of member companies, called the AllSeen Alliance.

????"From the very beginning we wanted to be very clear in that the value of this is to build an ecosystem," says Rob Chandhok, president of Qualcomm's interactive platforms division.

????Much like cloud computing player Rackspace (RAX) did with OpenStack, or Yahoo (YHOO) with its big data software project Hadoop, Qualcomm hopes opening up AllJoyn to the community at large will spawn a booming industry of companies that will both contribute to its code and use it to develop products for the "Internet of things" -- the trend of embedding processing power and connectivity in all sorts of household and industrial appliances. Qualcomm's end goal? The more consumers demand smart, connected devices, the more chips and other components the company sells.

????LG Electronics, one of the early member companies of the AllSeen Alliance, has already announced it will sell a smart TV compatible with the open-source protocol starting next year. Other member companies include Sharp, HTC, Panasonic, and Cisco (CSCO), along with a handful of other players.

????"The code that Qualcomm has developed is well thought out," says Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, which will play host to the AllSeen Alliance. "We can now apply it to things we haven't thought of to date."

????Currently, most of Qualcomm's public efforts have centered around sharing media content with AllJoyn. But in the near future, the company believes the open-source technology can also be used for connecting between security systems, smoke alarms, wearables, medical devices, and -- of course -- smartphones.

????Obviously, the success of the AllSeen Alliance won't just depend on how many companies join but on how many manufacturers actually implement the open-source code into their upcoming gadgets. But if there's one company that has a shot of leading efforts to streamline the Internet of things and rally a diverse base of manufacturers, it's Qualcomm. The company already sells its wares to most gadget makers, and proved instrumental in driving the explosive growth of smartphones and high-speed data networks in the past. Now, as growth of smartphone sales begins to wane, Qualcomm is hoping its entry -- and industrywide push -- will pave the way to a whole new, burgeoning market for its tiny chips. In other words, get ready to stream content from your phone to your TV sometime soon.
