My technology affects the whole world

The winter of 2012 was particularly cold, as every time it comes to such a cold season.

Southerners and northerners have to argue online about whether it is colder in the south or in the north.

People from the south, such as those from the Lianghu and Gannan regions, feel that the south is cold, because even if they sit indoors and warm themselves by the stove, they cannot resist the biting cold, especially their feet, which are so cold that they feel numb.

Not to mention going outdoors to ride a bicycle or an electric car, you can't resist magic attacks.

But people in the north feel that the north is cold, because the average outdoor temperature is more than 10 degrees Celsius, and even pouring a basin of water in the wild can freeze. How can the south be compared with the north when it is only a few to several degrees below zero?

At this time, in the southernmost part of China, Xia Wei, a migrant worker in Pengcheng, still wore short sleeves, and those with weak constitution wore a coat.

"Can't we get around Ma Tian's patent?" The person who spoke was Nie Zhenyuan, the person in charge of Xiawei's mobile phone research and development.

The people he questioned were Ying Zhonghao and Ran Shaobin, who were known as the Shuangjiao of Huaqing and Yao classes.

Ying Zhonghao wears a pair of black-framed glasses and a simple white T-shirt. He entered the Yao Class of Huaqing at the age of 16. He graduated from the Yao Class at Huaqing University at the age of 18. He completed his bachelor's degree at the age of 21 and was specially recruited by Xia Wei in 2009. , currently Xia Wei is a senior algorithm engineer for mobile phones.

Ran Shaobin has long black bangs and a blue plaid shirt. He won the World Gold Medal in Mathematics at the age of 15 and entered the Yao class. He graduated with three majors in mathematics at the age of 18. He completed the master's and doctoral studies at the age of 21. He was specially recruited by Xia Wei in 2010 and is currently on the mobile phone of Xia Wei. R\u0026D senior engineer.

Hearing Nie Zhenyuan's question, Ran Shaobin, who was getting closer, shook his head and said, "There's no way around it, Ma Tian is too awesome."

What they are currently studying is face recognition, which Ma Tian has applied for a patent for. Xia Wei, who is in charge of domestic mobile phone technology, not only has a dedicated department to research new technologies, but also a dedicated patent department to help discover and screen patents.

Ma Tian's patent application passed the first review, and their patent department realized that this technology might be helpful to mobile phones, and rushed to get it for research and development.

Nie Zhenyuan felt like he had found a treasure and immediately realized that this technology could be applied to unlocking mobile phones.

"Isn't the fingerprint unlocking of the Pingguo Kidney machine leading the trend? I think this face recognition unlocking is even more trend-setting." He said to the crowd, and everyone nodded in agreement.

So they began to study Ma Tian's face recognition day and night. From the architecture to the algorithm, they were separated and studied.

Xia Wei is indeed famous for his technology. He figured out Ma Tian's face recognition process in less than a month.

Although they were amazed by Ma Tian's algorithm, they were not satisfied yet. They began to think about how to avoid Ma Tian's patent and save a wave of patent fees.

Who knows, this research has lasted another month, but there has been no progress.

In the past month, they have thought of many ways to get around it, but either the accuracy is much lower than Ma Tian's 99%, or it is highly overlapped with Ma Tian's patent.

"Ma Tian is amazing. He has written down all the highly accurate facial recognition methods in the patent. I suspect that when he applied for the patent, he considered that someone would try to circumvent his algorithm." Ran Shaobin added.

"Ying Zhonghao, what do you think?" Nie Zhenyuan asked Ying Zhonghao, who was silent.

"It's difficult, or I have no new ideas now. In a short period of time, I can't think of a way to bypass Ma Tian's patent." Ying Zhonghao shook his head when he was named. He, who is called a genius, couldn't help but think at this moment. Somewhat helpless, the strongest has its own strong hand, and every mountain is higher than the other.

Ma Tian is known as a top mathematician, and his reputation is not in vain. He is not someone like them who can challenge him.

Nie Zhenyuan sighed and said: "Then let's go find Xia Ma Tian. At this point, we can only pay him the patent fee! Are you two going with me?"

In less than three months, a new Xiawei mobile phone will be released. This facial recognition technology has been approved by Mr. Ren to be used in the new Xiawei mobile phone. There is no time to study it.

Ying Zhonghao and Ran Shaobin nodded and agreed to the business trip. They also wanted to see Ma Tian and Ma Tian's Tianyu Xinghai Technology.

…

At Hunan Huanghua International Airport, the plane from Pengcheng landed smoothly.

Nie Zhenyuan took a breath of cold air as soon as he took Ying Zhonghao and Ran Shaobin off the plane.

so cold!

The three of them had stayed in Pengcheng for a long time, and when they came to Xiang City where there was a "magic attack", they still couldn't bear it even if they wore cotton-padded jackets.

"If I had known, I would have worn more woolen clothes underneath." Ying Zhonghao said shivering when the wind blew him.

"No matter how much wool you wear, it's useless. The main reason is that it's wet and cold." Ran Shaobin replied.

"Stop talking, leave the airport and take a taxi. There should be heating when you get to Ma Tian's company." Nie Zhenyuan said quickly, and he couldn't stand it.

The three of them took a taxi directly to the downstairs of Tianyu Xinghai Technology. As soon as they entered the lobby, they found that there were too many people inside, especially there were many foreign faces mixed in.

The three of them knew at a glance that they were either discussing Ma Tian's stomach-protecting pill business or the Tianrun No. 1 business, and the latter was more likely.

“They say Ma Tian’s Tianrun No. 1 is a money printing machine, maybe it’s true!”

"That's not possible. 1,188,888 bottles, 150 ml, average 7,925.92 yuan per ml. I doubt it's printing money so fast!"

Taking the elevator to the 13th floor, Nie Zhenyuan was also greeted by a beautiful woman at the front desk.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"I made an appointment to meet Zheng Shi from your company!" Nie Zhenyuan couldn't make an appointment with Ma Tian, ​​so it was still possible to replace him with the president.

Netizens now estimate that Matian's revenue is more than 180 billion and its net profit is more than 100 billion. It has long been one of the well-deserved giants in the country.

Among domestic listed companies, no one can beat them except Mao Zi who deliberately controls production.

15 minutes later, Zheng Shi met with Nie Zhenyuan.

"Hello, Mr. Nie!"

"Hello, Mr. Zheng!"

Zheng Shijian shook hands with Nie Zhenyuan and said hello, and asked knowingly: "Are you here today?"

Nie Zhenyuan organized his language and said, neither humble nor overbearing: "I heard that your company has made great achievements in facial recognition, so I came here to visit today to discuss cooperation."

"Face recognition?" Zheng Shijian raised his eyebrows. The main reason was that they had been led by Ma Tian to achieve an accuracy of 99.99% and exceeded the target. Now they are mainly working on speech recognition. They haven't looked at face recognition for a long time.

When Nie Zhenyuan mentioned this, I felt a little confused.

"Yes, it's face recognition. We saw your face recognition technology on the patent website. We were very surprised that your company could increase the accuracy to 99%. We came here specifically to get your patent authorization." Nie Zhenyuan replied.

Zheng Shijian nodded. Xia Wei arrived late and kept them waiting for so long. And the version is a bit too behind the times, I actually think 99% of it is already a surprise.

So what will happen if you tell him that Tianyu Xinghai has achieved 99.99%?

Even though the difference between 99.99% and 99% is only 0.99%, it is at least two major versions apart.

"Come with me, patent authorization needs to be approved by our President Ma, and we also have a new technology that you may be able to use!" Zheng Shi said with a smile on his face.

"New technology?" Nie Zhenyuan was confused, and Ying Zhonghao and Ran Shaobin behind him also looked at each other.

Seeing that Zheng Shi didn't explain much, he started walking upstairs with the three of them, and soon arrived at the R\u0026D room.

In the R\u0026D room, Ma Tianzheng, Tang Jiefei and others were still optimizing speech recognition.

"Mr. Ma, Xia Wei's Nie Zhenyuan—Mr. Nie is here!" Zheng Shijian knocked on the door first and introduced.

"come in!"

It was also the first time for Nie Zhenyuan and the others to see the real Ma Tian.

[Damn, you are so young. 】

[Why is your hair so long and black? 】

[Is this the legendary horse madman? 】

This is the voice of the three people.

Nie Zhenyuan quickly greeted: "Hello, Mr. Ma!"

Ma Tian nodded and said straight to the point: "You are here for facial recognition, right?"

Nie Zhenyuan nodded: "Yes, we are exactly that."

"Face recognition can be authorized to you and give you a technology that you are interested in." After Ma Tian finished speaking, he motioned to Tang Jiefei and others behind him to show it.

Then he saw Tang Jiefei taking out a Xia Wei mobile phone and saying with a wicked smile: "Mr. Nie, please watch it."

There is nothing more satisfying than cracking Xia Wei's phone and installing it in front of Xia Wei.

"Classmate Xiaotian!"

After Tang Jiefei shouted, Xia Wei's phone automatically lit up. A beautiful wave appeared in the middle of the screen, and then a nice electronic female voice sounded: "Yes, I'm here!"

Nie Zhenyuan's eyes widened in shock, and Ying Zhonghao and Ran Shaobin behind him didn't perform much better.

Is this still their Xiawei mobile phone? When did their phones have this feature? What did Tianyu Xinghai do to their mobile phones?

Tang Jiefei looked at the shocked expressions of the three people and continued to perform with satisfaction: "Please help me open NetEase Cloud Music and play a song for me."

"Okay, I have opened NetEase Cloud Music for you and played Jay Chou's "Chrysanthemum Terrace"."

Then Xia Wei’s phone really started playing music:

"The flowers have fallen towards the evening, falling brilliantly."

"In the world of adjustment, fate is miserable."

…

"The chrysanthemums are broken, the ground is covered with wounds, and your smile has turned yellow."

…

"Classmate Xiaotian, the voice is too low. Please help me turn it up."

"The north wind is chaotic, the night is still young, your shadow keeps cutting (loudly)"

"Stop, this song is too sad. Classmate Xiaotian, can you change a song for me?" Tang Jiefei interrupted.

"Okay, I've changed the song "Listen to Mom" ​​for you."

"Kid, do you have a lot of questions?"

"Why, others are reading comics there, but I am learning to draw..."

Nie Zhenyuan and the others:...

Perhaps seeing that the three of them were in a bad mood, Tang Jiefei said: "Classmate Xiaotian, you don't need to play songs anymore, help me open the webpage... No, open the settings and help me connect to the WiFi. The account I found is Tianyu Xinghai 111 The password for wifi is 8 eights.”

"Okay, I have opened the settings for you, but please remind me, if I switch to wifi, it may cause my function to be abnormal for a few seconds."

Hearing this, Nie Zhenyuan was already a little unsteady on his feet. It was so scary. What function is this?

It turns out that Tianyu Xinghai has already applied speech recognition to this extent?

Xiang Zhonghao and Ran Shaobin were also psychologically shocked. What kind of speech recognition technology is this? When has China become so obsessed with it? Could it be that they have been decoupling from international technology for a long time?

Xiang Zhonghao finally couldn't help but said: "Hello, sir. Is this speech recognition technology?"

Tang Jiefei looked at him and nodded: "That's right! Using voice recognition to control mobile phone operations is exactly the technology we are showing now."

The wall pretended to be comfortable for him, so he stepped back and gave the stage to Ma Tian.

But Ma Tian stepped forward, dumbfounded, and said, "Don't be misunderstood by my staff's operation just now. What we just showed is just what we just optimized."

"What's the meaning?"

"We can only operate NetEase Cloud Music and the settings interface so smoothly and intelligently because the underlying logic code has already been written!" Ma Tian replied simply.

Today's mobile phone hardware cannot afford to have a weakened version of the voice assistant inside, because it does not have the corresponding processing chip and does not have real access to system operation permissions.

For example, the NetEase Cloud Music just now can cut songs and adjust the volume up and down, because Zheng Shijian took over the outer control interface of NetEase Cloud Music.

It’s hard to say if it applies to QQ. It cannot help with typing or opening chat windows, because QQ has not yet been cracked to obtain the corresponding operating permissions.

Therefore, if you forcibly add a voice assistant function to your mobile phone, it will only respond very slowly or even freeze due to bugs.

This is a problem of the system and APP supplier. It is too complicated and the kernel of the Android system needs to be optimized.

But it is theoretically possible.

Nie Zhenyuan was relieved when he heard this explanation. Fortunately, it was not too outrageous. He thought that Xia Wei's mobile phone was completely broken by Ma Tian and Tianyu Xinghai.

"However, if you cooperate with us in releasing the source code, we can really achieve most of the above effects, but the response will be slower. If you design a corresponding voice processing chip, then the above functions can really be achieved."

Ma Tian said something again, but it made Nie Zhenyuan feel relieved again.

"Are you talking about the same as Pingguo's multi-point capacitive processing chip A series, which processes speech recognition alone?" Nie Zhenyuan asked.

Ma Tian nodded.

Pingguo's multi-point capacitive processing chip is specially used to process the response to finger touch screen operations. This has also made Pingguo a miracle machine and opened the clarion call for mobile phone intelligence.

At that time, there were multi-point capacitive screens and multi-point resistive screens available on the market. The earliest smartphones were basically multi-point resistive screens because multi-point capacitive screens had slow response and high error rates.

Only Pingguo took a different approach, thinking of using a single chip to process multi-point capacitive screen signals to speed up the process, and then officially opened the curtain on smartphones and abandoned buttons.

Nie Zhenyuan's heart was surging. He was extremely lucky to have come to the right Tianyu Xinghai today. If what Ma Tian said was true, then they might be able to compete with Ping Guo this time.

He turned to Xiang Zhonghao and Ran Shaobin behind him and asked, "Can we do it?"

Xiang Zhonghao and Ran Shaobin looked at each other, because the big boss Ma Tian was present and did not dare to make a conclusion.

Based on the knowledge they had learned, they felt that it was very difficult and almost impossible to figure it out, but with the presence of Boss Ma Tian, ​​they were not sure.

Seeing that Nie Zhenyuan had been looking at them expectantly, Xiang Zhonghao said bravely: "We will have to find a senior engineer of IC chip and hardware design to take a look together."

Thank you Nuanyang 1314 giant for your support again~~

A ray of light in life, thank you again
