(1) Digitization
Digitalization is to convert a large number of complex and changeable information into measurable numbers and data, and then use these numbers and data to build a suitable digital model, turn them into a series of binary codes, and introduce them into a computer for unified processing. This is the basic process of digitalization.
(2) networking
Networking refers to the use of communication technology and computer technology to connect computers and various electronic terminal devices distributed in different places and communicate with each other according to certain network protocols, so as to achieve the purpose that all users can enjoy software, hardware and data resources. Nowadays, computer networks are widely used in transportation, finance, enterprise management, education, post and telecommunications, commerce and other industries, and even in our family life.
(3) Visualization
Visualization is a theory, method and technology that uses computer graphics and image processing technology to convert data into graphics or images, display them on the screen, and process them interactively. It involves many fields, such as computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, computer-aided design and so on, and becomes a comprehensive technology to study a series of problems such as data representation, data processing and decision analysis. At present, the rapidly developing virtual reality technology is also a visualization technology based on graphics and images.
(4) intelligence
Intelligentization is the development trend of modern human civilization. To realize intelligence, intelligent materials are an indispensable and important link. Intelligent materials are an important direction and necessity for the development of materials science. Intelligent material structure is a new interdisciplinary comprehensive science. The research content of intelligent materials is very rich, involving many frontier disciplines and high-tech intelligent materials. It plays a very important role in industrial and agricultural production, science and technology, people's life, national economy and other aspects, and its application fields are very wide.
2. Informatization
Informatization refers to the historical process of cultivating and developing new productive forces represented by computer-based intelligent tools and making them benefit the society. The productivity adapted to intelligent tools is called information productivity.
Informatization is a technology based on modern communication, network and database technology, which integrates all the elements of the research object into the database for specific people's life, work, study and decision-making, and is closely related to various human behaviors. After using this technology, it can greatly improve the efficiency of various behaviors and provide great technical support for promoting the progress of human society.
