You can "light" the holy flame with a mini program. The old phone from 8 years ago and the first "Cloud Asian Games" have arrived

At 8:00 pm on September 23rd, the Hangzhou Asian Games will officially kick off. On the stage of this Asian Games, the competition is not only about the performance of athletes, but also the concentrated presentation of digital technology. At the beginning of preparing for the competition, the first person to start the race was technique. It is reported that the Hangzhou Asian Games will achieve 100% adoption of cloud computing in the core system of the Asian Games for the first time, and also support hundreds of millions of digital people to participate in the Asian Games torch lighting ceremony simultaneously.

The core system of the competition is fully launched into the cloud

The end of each competition means that another "data war" has just begun: the competition results will be imported from the venue's timing and scoring equipment into the venue's score system, collected to the central score system, and published in different modes such as printing and distribution, information dissemination, and data interface.

The pressure on traditional data centers can be imagined due to the instantaneous influx, organization, and output of large-scale data. "In the past, large-scale sports events required self built data centers or computer rooms. Once the event ended, temporary construction and dismantling of equipment would face significant resource waste." Alibaba Cloud, the technical support party for the Hangzhou Asian Games, told reporters that this year's Asian Games will no longer have self built data centers, and the core system of the event will be fully cloud built. Dozens of system applications from the three core system groups of event management, event results, and event support have been fully built in the cloud.

The person stated that the "Cloud Asian Games" not only eliminates the need to repeatedly build and dismantle computer rooms, shortens application development and deployment time, but also avoids the problem of difficult sharing of software and hardware resources in traditional modes. The core system of the Hangzhou Asian Games has implemented system communication and data communication on the cloud native technology base, and achieves one click output of various types of data through APIs and other interfaces. After the Asian Games, most event systems will gradually go offline, and cloud resources will be released to provide support for other work.

In addition to event services, the broadcasting of events that are most closely related to the audience has also shifted from satellite to cloud. It is reported that the Hangzhou Asian Games is the first Asian Games to adopt cloud broadcasting, and it is expected to transmit up to 60 high-definition and ultra high definition signals on the cloud, with a total duration of over 5000 hours. In addition to live streaming of events, the Hangzhou Asian Games will also provide video content such as short videos, exciting highlights, and event news on the cloud.

"Satellite bandwidth is relatively small, and the transmission of event signals and content forms is limited. Moreover, satellite equipment transmission and reception are more expensive, requiring broadcasters to build exclusive satellite launch and reception equipment in order to obtain signals." This person said that compared to traditional satellite broadcasting modes, cloud broadcasting surpasses its bandwidth and offline device limitations, providing richer picture signals and editing methods. Even small and medium-sized broadcasting media without satellite reception equipment can obtain programs on the cloud and edit local exclusive game scenes in real-time online. Meanwhile, compared with satellite broadcasting, cloud broadcasting has increased its bandwidth from terabytes to gigabytes, and in extreme cases, it can even be expanded to terabytes, equivalent to transmitting 500 high-definition movies in just one second.

Over 100 million people have become "digital torchbearers"

The data and signals are in the cloud, but with just a regular phone, everyone can have intimate contact with the Asian Games. No matter athletes or spectators of the Asian Games, they can't live without a small program called "Intelligent Asian Games One Stop Pass". This Alipay app can meet the requirements of comprehensive services such as food, accommodation and tickets during the Asian Games, and can also participate in online torch relay activities.

Meng Yan, director of digital service products for the Asian Games of Ant Group Alipay, said that in the past Asian Games, due to the limitations of poor mobile payment experience, lack of super platform apps, insufficient network infrastructure and cross hardware multilingual compatibility, it was difficult to preheat and promote before the Games, and people's sense of participation was not strong. Queuing to buy tickets was frequently congested, while it was easy to get confused during the Games, lack of guidance, long payment time, and poor experience of watching the Games.

For example, the Jakarta Asian Games once created 9 apps to provide food, drink, accommodation, transportation, ticket purchasing and other services for tourists and audiences. The official app of the Incheon Asian Games spent 100 million yuan to develop an independent app, but the number of supported service scenarios and reached users is relatively small.

The Hangzhou Asian Games simplifies complexity and concentrates services on a small program, which not only facilitates participating athletes and spectators, but also saves costs and improves efficiency. According to preliminary calculations, in terms of app development and time costs, mini programs can save up to a few billion yuan in research and development operating costs, and can shorten the development cycle by 50%.

As a highlight of this year's Asian Games, the "Asian Games Digital Torchbearer" is also included in the mini program. Global users can become digital torchbearers by entering the "Intelligent Asian Games One Stop Pass" firewood transmission channel. As of now, the total number of digital torchbearers in the Asian Games has exceeded 104 million. According to Sha Xiaolan, the chief director of the opening ceremony, when the main torch is lit, over 100 million digital torchbearers will light the main torch together with six offline torchbearers.

"This is the first time in the history of the Asian Games that the torch was passed by digital people, and more than 100 million people participated in it. How to make the digital ignition interaction run smoothly on old mobile phones has become a difficult problem." Meng Yan said that the team thought of the "Five Happiness" project that has lasted for many years

In the end, the Asian Games digital torch bearer platform built on this technology can achieve a user coverage of billions and support 97% of smartphone devices, even 8 years old phones can participate. Users no longer need to download apps and can participate through mini programs.
