Chapter 1127: Attack on Letong
"Wow, it's so amazing and cute!"
Hearing the answer of the voice assistant who claimed to be Loli, Liu Siying suddenly exclaimed involuntarily, the scene in front of her made her feel very novel, and seeing the behavior of the little girl on the screen, her eyes were full of little stars. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It's just that just when she exclaimed, Bai Ningyuan pressed the home button again at the right time, and immediately the microphone picked up Liu Siying's exclamation.
The little girl on the screen blinked, and a moment later a line of words appeared on the screen again, and then, her voice sounded again in the microphone: "Thank you for the compliment, I think so too." ”
At this time, Bai Ningyuan leaned his mouth over and said to his mobile phone: "How is the weather in Pengcheng tomorrow?"
Accompanied by Bai Ningyuan's voice, his question was converted into words and appeared on the screen, the little girl blinked her eyes and said "Checking for you", and after about seven or eight seconds, the weather situation in Pengcheng was displayed on the screen.
Just a simple display, it completely aroused Liu Siying's curiosity, she snatched the mobile phone from Bai Ningyuan's hand, and then started a conversation with Loli with great interest, although the development of voice assistants is still in a preliminary stage, and the information stored in the service is limited, so there are many questions that cannot be answered, but there are still some witty answers from time to time, which makes Liu Siying feel unbearable.
"It's so fun, it's going to be fascinating, by the way, how the hell did you come up with it? Liu Siying didn't care about you and me with Bai Ningyuan at this time, as if she had gotten a new toy, she put all her energy on the mobile phone in her hand, and asked Bai Ningyuan subconsciously while playing.
"There's no way around it, in order to compete with Mphone, we also have to show real skills, after all, they have this product, and the pressure on us is very great!" Bai Ningyuan shrugged his shoulders and said to Liu Siying.
Because of Bai Ningyuan's sideways insertion, so Ping Confectionery did not launch its own phone products in 07 as in history, after all, Lophone was born out of nowhere, and many of the ideas and designs in it almost coincided with Apple Confection's mobile phone ideas , forced to complete most of the design of the apple con had to overturn all the previous work, from scratch, coupled with the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, so that in addition to the research and development of smart phones, apple con also needs to ensure its own source of profits, so the research and development work has been intermittent, until March last year, the first smartphone work named Mphone was released, and in the first half of this year, a new generation of MphoneS was launched, to compete with Lophone2S released by Letong in mid-September last year。
Although the Mphone they launched was two years late, it still lived up to the expectations of fans, and it also attracted countless followers after it was launched, and it created 18 million sales in the first year of listing, which can be called crazy.
And the crazy sales of Mphone also made the industry suddenly start to exclaim "the wolf is coming".
After two years of sharpening a sword, Mphone's performance has not disappointed the majority of confectionery fans, unlike the first generation of phone in the previous life, such as Caton, incompatibility and other problems, this life of Mphone can be described as extremely smooth.
It uses a silver-black and bright shell, the whole is shaped into a rectangle, there is not a single button on the entire panel, not even Home, all operations, are covered by the three virtual buttons at the bottom of the screen - menu, home and back.
It can be said that because of the hot sales of Lophone in the past few years, Apple's Mphone has locked its competitors on Lophone from the beginning.
It's just that Lophone is also a revolutionary who has redefined the mobile phone, and since it has been on the market for many years, it has already formed an incomparably excellent reputation and a stable user base, coupled with continuous innovation, almost every year, Lophone's new series will bring people such and such surprises.
08 Lophone2's new appearance + 4-inch large screen, 09 Lophone2S's new color + hardware upgrades, etc., have allowed it to continue to maintain a high reputation and praise in the industry, and continue to hold the title of "the world's best mobile phone".
And if it is said that Mphone's sales of 18 million units in the first year can be described as eye-catching, then in front of the sales of 66 million units of the Lophone series, it can only be described as overshadowed.
Throughout 09 years, affected by the downturn in the first half of the year, the global mobile phone market achieved a total of 1.211 billion sales, a decrease of 0.9% compared with 2008, and among them, the annual sales of smartphones reached 210 million units, an increase of 27.8% year-on-year, of which, according to the Zhuo system with 81 million units led the brands, followed by Symbian's 71 million, RIM's 26 million, Mphone 16 million for OS and Microsoft's MWM system, and the rest are other niche intelligent systems such as Linux.
08 years, when Letong has enough influence in the world's communication providers, according to the Zhuo Alliance project was officially released, by mobile phone manufacturers, software developers, telecom operators and chip manufacturers to form a global alliance organization, to jointly develop and improve the Zhuo system, through the promotion of this system, to attract more mobile phone manufacturers to join the smart phone camp.
Of course, the establishment of this alliance does not mean that the source code of the Zhuo system will be made public, but the manufacturers who join the alliance are allowed to install the Zhuo system for their own products, and make simple modifications based on the peripheral architecture, and the core code is still controlled in Letong, in addition, all products that install this system still have to download various applications through the Zhuo store.
That is to say, even because of the existence of the Zhuzhuo Alliance, the core of the Zhuzhuo system is still closed, and the difference is only some irrelevant places such as the interface.
Although the licensing conditions are very harsh, but since the release of the project, it has still attracted many manufacturers, because Letong has proven the excellence of this system with Lophone and Lopad all over the world, and it is undoubtedly the most convenient to use among all the smartphones currently sold on the market.
At present, the members of the Zhuo Alliance include dozens of companies with extensive influence in the world or in China, such as Guge, Intel, Qualcomm, Pazhou Instruments, Sanxing, Taiwan Electromechanical, Huaxia Mobile, HCT, etc.
It is precisely because of the alliance that the system has been rapidly promoted, and Sanxing and HCT have also launched their own smart phone products equipped with the system, so that this year, the sales of mobile phones of the system have surpassed Symbian for the first time, becoming the system with the largest share in the smartphone market.
Not only that, among the world's top five mobile phone manufacturers, only LG and Sanxing maintained growth, and Nokia, Motorola and Sony Ericsson all saw a decline in sales compared with the previous year, among them, Nokia, which topped the list, although it sold 420 million units for the year, but its market share fell by 3.2%. In particular, the weakness of the high-end segment will continue to reduce its market value share, and the worst is Motorola, which is equivalent to almost half of the sales in 08, making it fall to the bottom, and its market share is only 4.8%.
In stark contrast, Sanxing, arguably the biggest winner in the entire global mobile phone market in '09, with a market share of nearly 20% compared to 2008 with the launch of smartphones equipped with the Zhuzhuo system.
With 66 million sales, Letong surpassed Sony Aison and Motorola in one fell swoop, becoming the fourth largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world after Nokia, Sanxing and LG, and now Letong has become a backbone of the smartphone industry.
However, whether it is Bai Ningyuan or the senior management of Letong, after seeing the sales of Mphone and its products, they all deeply feel the threat brought by this product, coupled with Pinghua's consistent fine reputation in the industry, so if you want to maintain Letong's position, you must continue to develop Lophone with richer functions and more attractive.
Because of this, when the MphoneS, which was born to deal with and snipe Lophone2S, was launched, Letong added new elements to the upcoming new generation of Lophone.
Bai Ningyuan also had the experience of using Apple mobile phones in his previous life, and the convenience and playability of Siri is undoubted, it is an impressive main function, plus the future, human-computer interaction is an important direction for the development of electronic products, so from 07 years, Lophone has gained a firm foothold in the mobile phone market, Letong has set up a relevant department, specifically for the development of voice assistants.
Wu Daxian, an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University and director of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, one of the world's most authoritative scholars in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, was hired as the general director of the project with a high salary.
The development of a voice software is not so simple to be achieved overnight,Letong's voice assistant project team,After two years,Developed no less than four or five versions,It finally met Bai Ningyuan's requirements,A voice assistant software that occupies a small memory,A relatively high degree of intelligence voice assistant software,In addition,Also through the Leku game,Specially made this software background,And set up eight or nine character styles in it,So that users can choose from the settings,Girls of the Republic of China、Pure angel、Sexy cute girl、Royal sister assistant、 There are several different voice assistant styles such as cold black and long straight, sunny boy, cold and handsome guy, etc., and specially invited different voice actors in various languages to record sound materials, store them in Lo International's data center, and provide services to users in different countries and languages through the servers in the data center.
At present, because of the material, although its performance is still a little unsatisfactory, the engineers of Letone are still working tirelessly to improve it, hoping to reach a primary artificial intelligence standard as soon as possible.
Hear, understand, and then respond, that's right, this voice assistant containing the name of Bai Ningyuan's daughter in his previous life, Loli, is actually defined as the category of artificial intelligence within Letong, and it is also the main body of "big intelligence" in Lo International, including smart cars and other projects, practicing the huge concept of Bai Ningyuan's Internet ecosystem......
