Innovation in the Application of 5G Communication Technology for All-in-One Computer Touch Screens: Reconstructing the Intelligent Interaction Paradigm of Human-Machine-Object Integration

The "Scenario Revolution" of All-in-One Computer Touch Screens in the 5G Era

As the "nerve endings" connecting the physical world and the digital space, all-in-one computer touch screens are evolving from single information display terminals into intelligent interaction hubs with sensing, computing, communication, and control capabilities. According to IDC, the global market size of all-in-one computer touch screens is expected to exceed $12 billion by 2025, with 5G terminals accounting for over 40%. Behind this growth lies the three disruptive empowerments of 5G technology for all-in-one computer touch screens:

• Ultra-low latency: 1ms end-to-end latency supports real-time control scenarios (e.g., remote surgery and collaborative industrial robots).
• Massive connections: The ability to connect millions of devices meets the large-scale deployment needs of smart cities and industrial internet.
• High-precision positioning: Combined with MEC (edge computing), it enables centimeter-level positioning, empowering scenarios such as unmanned warehousing and autonomous driving.
  However, the integration of 5G and all-in-one computer touch screens is not a simple叠加 (superposition); rather, it requires breakthroughs in key technological bottlenecks such as communication protocol adaptation, energy consumption optimization, and security protection. This article will deeply analyze how 5G reconstructs the technological ecosystem and commercial value of all-in-one computer touch screens from the dimensions of application scenario innovation, core technological breakthroughs, and typical case analysis.
