Chapter 2515 Smart Wearable Equipment
If you ask Xiao Qi what kind of smart wearable equipment he likes, he himself has no answer.
But if you ask Xiao Qi which smart wearable device he yearns for the most, Xiao Qi will say that he most hopes to see Apple's smart watch appear sooner.
As early as in the previous life, when the leader Qiao was still there, it was rumored that Apple would focus on developing two products after the IPOD, IPHONE, and IPAD.
The first is the Apple Smart TV, and the second is the Apple Smart Watch.
The first to be developed should be the Apple smart watch.
Xiao Qi was a little surprised at the time, why is it easier to make a smart watch that is so small than such a big smart TV?
Later, Xiao Qi saw American technology magazines and realized that Apple did not make any outstanding changes to the first generation of smart watches. They just reduced the size of smart electronic devices, including the appearance and internal parts, and then made a smaller version. It’s just a simple IPHONE that came out – an IPHONE is a mobile phone, and of course it can be used as a watch on weekdays.
However, Gangzhu Qiao has very high expectations for Apple TV. It is said that it involves thousands of improved technologies.
Therefore, the order of launch of the two will be different.
Xiao Qi sometimes thinks that if he postpones his reincarnation for a year, maybe he will be able to see Apple's smart watch, and it will be a kind of enjoyment to see what new technology they have.
Although the technology magazines described the Apple smart watch so badly, but Xiao Qi felt that the smart watch is definitely not that easy.
A screen the size of a watch is easy to talk about, but it is absolutely extremely difficult for you to make the battery so small and still have to supply such a large consumption of the smart system.
There is also the CPU chip, which is not simply shrinking. The functions must not be inferior, and it must be made more suitable for smart watches. This is another big problem.
In addition, there are various parts and so on... All in all, it can make a smart watch well deserved. Except for companies with extremely strong technical strength, other small companies simply cannot do it.
Of course, in this life, Xiao Qi's Fairy Company will do its part.
As early as 2008, he had set up dozens of experimental groups to develop and test various components in preparation for smart watches.
In addition, if he has no technical ability, Xiao Qi can only entrust the first-class companies in the world. Customize various parts according to your needs.
For example, the battery, which is the same size as an ordinary watch battery and smaller than a fingernail, must have a power of more than 1000 mAh to keep the smart watch running for 24 hours. If the user uses it frequently, it may Use up to 12 hours.
This is definitely not enough for smart watches.
Therefore, in Xiao Qi's mind, it should reach the same 3000 mAh as today's smartphones, at least five days of normal standby, and more than a day of full use. Only then can it be regarded as a boutique.
That's right.
When Xiao Qi creates smart electronic products, his primary purpose is to produce high-quality products. If he only wants to seize the market, he will launch products in a hurry. That is not in line with Xiao Qi's original intention of doing electronic technology.
Only the best products can be worthy of the title of Fairy Company!
You look at Apple. Been working on Apple TV since 2008, but it didn't even come out in 2013!
Do you dare to say that Apple's thousands of scientific researchers are not strong? Apple is not investing much?
Even many manufacturers that are not in the smart electronics industry have launched smart wearable devices within a year or two-in fact, they are multi-function monitors with an LCD screen. Why can't Apple?
Because Apple adheres to the philosophy of Chief Joe, it must be the best if it is to be done, otherwise it will be embarrassing to show it.
It is because Apple has such a spirit that everyone thinks that Apple's products are the best. When a new product comes out, you can buy it without even thinking about it. Anyway, you can't buy it wrong.
This powerful brand loyalty utility. It manifested itself.
If Fairy Company wants to become what Xiao Qi envisioned, it must do better than Apple.
Therefore, the products of Xiannv Company must not only be at the forefront of the world's intelligent electronic technology. And each product must be done enough to be amazing.
Now it seems that Fairy Company can fully deserve the title of "produced by Fairy, must be a boutique", and it is even more powerful than Apple.
The world's first screaming intelligent electronic product - Dream Pad, is produced by Fairy Company.
The large-screen smart phone that people can't put it down - Dream Stars, is produced by Fairy Company.
Possessing strong strength, but abruptly lowering the price of smart phones, the smart phone with the most cost-effective price-Dream Snow is also produced by Fairy Company.
In contrast, Apple has only one IPHONE so far, which seems a bit thin.
Therefore, Apple is ranked second in the smart electronics industry after Fairy Company, and it is not partial to Fairy Company.
To be successful, Xiannv Company certainly cannot be satisfied with the current few products. At least it must continue to make breakthroughs and research and development of new products in such a period of ten or twenty years in order to lead the entire smart electronics industry and to be solid. To consolidate its position as "the world's number one smart electronics company".
Except for the replacement products of each product, the next product to come out should be Dream Pad Mini.
Next, Xiao Qi's goal is on the entry-level product of smart wearable devices-smart bracelet.
A smart bracelet is actually a very simple product.
Generally speaking, as long as it has motion detection, calorie consumption, heart rate, sleep quality, waterproof, and limited connection to mobile phones, it is enough.
Although these functions seem to be many, in fact, when designing a CPU, it is very simple. Basically, it is equivalent to a few small APPs, which are enough to add to the chip.
In fact, these functions have already been developed. In hospitals, Adidas and Nike's sports research and development centers have already begun to use these devices.
What the smart bracelet needs to do is to reduce and weaken these programs.
If you want to do better, you can just increase the requirements on the material and appearance, as well as the choice of LCD screen.
Not to mention, because the function is seriously weakened, even with a 1000mAh lithium polymer ultra-small battery, the smart bracelet can generally have a standby time of more than 15 days. This is a smart watch or something, which is difficult now. did it.
Xiao Qi has seen pictures of Xiaomi bracelets that were exposed in 2013. It is said that the price of the simplest version will not exceed 100, which is suitable for middle and low-end product consumers, but if it is made by Xiannv Company, it cannot be made so cheap.
Instead, Xiaomiao Electronics can do it in the future.
The smart bracelet that Xiao Qi will be working on, the target prototype should be the Gear Fit smart wearable bracelet that will be launched in early 2014.
At the end of 2013, Xiao Qi had seen a lot of photos of the breaking news god. Although he was ridiculed as a reduced version of Samsung mobile phone, Xiao Qi was very fond of the large LCD screen and various dazzling functions. Like it, at least it is much better than their first smart wearable device Galaxy Gear released in September 2013.
However, the Galaxy Gear's exterior and side design is also good.
Therefore, when Xiao Qi drew the three-dimensional design drawings, he mainly combined the features of Galaxy Gear and Gear Fit.
As for FitBit’s series products, which are the number one in sales, Xiao Qi felt that they were too stingy. Basically, its display screen is equivalent to the electronic watches we wore when we were young. grade.
But the FitBit's silicone material also has the advantage of being almost imperceptible in weight.
As for Nike’s FuelBand and Jawbone’s Jawbone Up, they are both somewhat similar. The advantage is that they are easy to carry and fashionable, but the disadvantage is that they are too stingy, and they can’t feel the benefits of “smart” at all, and even the LCD screen is not color!
Several project team leaders in the laboratory took the blueprints given by Xiao Qi, went to various parts of the world to apply for patents as usual, and then took them to their own teams to watch and figure out the smart bracelet that Xiao Qi conceived. .
After the earthquake last year, they started the research and development of smart watches, and it has been almost a year now.
Although it can't be said that they have understood it, but with so many hints and correct guidance from Xiao Qi, they have already felt the pulse, that is, some technical difficulties have not been overcome, and it may take two or three years to fully complete the research and development.
But smart bracelets are different. At most, they are only one-tenth of the functions of smart watches, and the requirements are not high at all.
After holding it in their hands for half a month, they gave a very conservative time-about to develop this smart bracelet before July 2010.
In fact, after precise calculations, these guys will probably be able to manufacture engineering test products by the end of this year, but firstly, Xiao Qi is not in a hurry, and secondly, Xiao Qi's requirements are too strict. If he is satisfied, he will definitely scold them severely and smash their products.
Everyone knows that designers care as much about the products they design as they do about their own children.
Xiao Qi's personality in the laboratory is completely different from his usual personality. Everyone calls him a "tyrant" not only because Xiao Qi can curse people, but also because Xiao Qi will make them improve and improve over and over again. If it doesn't work, just smash it and let them come again.
In order to prevent Xiao Qi from ruining their hard work, these leaders of course give themselves ample time to improve slowly! (to be continued ~^~)
