Jiang Hui's launch of GPad was also considered in conjunction with the sales of the iPad in the previous life.

In the previous life, there were many people who did not understand the positioning of the iPad at first. When Apple released the first generation of iPad tablets, many people thought: this is just a big iPhone. At the time, some even called it the oversized iPod Touch.

Even after a long period of use, most users will think that the iPad is a 9.7-inch large-screen game console. Even though the iPad is useful for software applications in many fields, the iPad is still considered an entertainment device by the general public.

An organization once conducted a survey, what do users who have owned an iPad for a long time use it? found that 52% of users only carry an iPad when traveling, 21% of users will bring an iPad whenever they go out, and 17% of users will only carry an iPad because of work needs.

This data fully shows that the demand for iPad is very strong.

In fact, in Jiang Hui's view, the advantages of iPad in movies are obvious, simple, convenient, fast, and save the trouble of opening a computer. In addition, by downloading the movie player stored in the iPad, the iPad can be a good relief for business trips or trips.

It's no exaggeration to say that the iPad is the best mobile video player available, as it has the best mobile playback of any tablet device available, and the 9.7-inch design makes it easy to carry around on long trips. So watching movies and videos is also a very important feature of the iPad, even if you haven't used the iPad for a long time, you still won't forget to think of it if you want to go far away.

Therefore, Jiang Hui hopes that Guanghui mobile phone will launch GPad as soon as possible to seize the market in this emerging field.

Although it cannot be said that GPad will be more popular than GPHONE, in the past few years, the difference in quantity will definitely not be very large. However, after three to five years, after the proportion of users owning GPads of all generations is already relatively high, sales may decline. After all, compared to mobile phones, users' demand for updating pads will not be so strong. Basically, it's understandable that if one user buys GPad, there is one less potential user of Gpad.

"Mr. Jiang, I suggest that Gpad's development team be placed in the imperial capital first, so that it is easier to recruit people. Now we have a particularly strong demand for talents," Wang Mengyu suggested.

The development of GPHONE, due to confidentiality considerations, the development team is not very large, and now that it has been officially released, it is necessary to expand the scale of research and development as soon as possible, otherwise Jiang Hui's various ideas really lack talents to implement.

"Yes, the Glorious Mansion will be completed soon, and I will ask Tang Minghua to arrange a few floors for you to use at that time."

Apple used to have more than 100,000 employees in its previous life, and of course, most of them were salespeople in directly operated stores. However, the number of R&D personnel is still more than 10,000. The current R&D personnel of Guanghui mobile phone are only a few hundred, which can be said to be very weak.

"The office building is one aspect, and the most important thing is to recruit a large number of people and buy some R&D equipment," Wang Mengyu began to ask Jiang Hui for resources.

A qualified team manager needs to learn to ask for resources from his superiors, and Wang Mengyu is undoubtedly becoming more and more like a qualified company leader.

"The flow of funds below 10 million can be given to Mr. Dai's approval. Personnel recruitment: You list the requirements to the group's personnel department, and they will soon organize campus recruitment."

"Mr. Jiang, do you have any special ideas for our next-generation products, and we have a direction?" Dai Fuqian said.

"The most basic thing is to upgrade the hardware on the basis of the existing GPHONE. The processor should be faster, the display should be higher resolution, the battery energy should be higher, and the camera pixels should be higher......", Jiang Hui first put forward a bunch of basic opinions, these contents do not need Jiang Hui to explain too much, and the development team should be able to find the way forward.

"We are the leader of smartphones, and hardware upgrades are certainly not enough, we have to keep introducing some new technologies. I first arranged a few projects that must be promoted, the first is fingerprint recognition, the second is face recognition, and the third is voice recognition", Jiang Hui began to lay out the new technology development direction of Guanghui mobile phone.

A fingerprint is a line created by an uneven pattern on the skin on the front of a person's finger. The lines are arranged regularly to form different patterns. Fingerprint patterns are not continuous, smooth and straight, but are often interrupted, bifurcated, or twisted. These breakpoints, bifurcations, and turning points are called "feature points".

Fingerprint recognition is to identify by comparing the details and features of different fingerprints.

Since each person's fingerprint is different, that is, between the ten fingers of the same person, there is also a clear difference in fingerprints, so fingerprints can be used for identification. Because the orientation of each stamp is not exactly the same, different focus points will bring different degrees of deformation, and there are a large number of blurred fingerprints, how to correctly extract features and achieve correct matching is the key to fingerprint recognition technology.

Therefore, fingerprint recognition, which seems simple, is not simple at all, it involves many disciplines such as image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision, mathematical morphology, wavelet analysis, etc. It takes a lot of research to develop fingerprint recognition technology that is truly suitable for mobile phones.

Face recognition is a biometric technology that recognizes people based on their facial features. A series of related technologies that use cameras or cameras to capture images or video streams containing human faces, and automatically detect and track faces in the images, and then perform facial facial examinations on detected faces, have been around for decades.

However, what Jiang Hui wants is a face recognition technology that can be used on mobile phones and has a super high degree of recognition, and the research on this piece can be said to be endless.

As for speech recognition technology, it is not a new concept, but it is a real difficult technology, which involves fields such as: signal processing, pattern recognition, probability theory and information theory, vocal mechanism and auditory mechanism, artificial intelligence and so on.

If you only want to engage in an ordinary voice function, then there is one on the market now.

As early as 1952, Davis and others at the Bell Institute successfully researched the world's first experimental system that could recognize the pronunciation of 10 English numbers. After more than 50 years of development, speech recognition technology has reached a critical point, once a breakthrough, voice recognition technology will quickly enter the industry, home appliances, communications, automotive electronics, medical, home services, consumer electronics and other fields.

Jiang Hui is naturally reluctant to lend Guanghui Mobile Phone in this regard. To a certain extent, this technology is coordinated with artificial intelligence projects, and once the technology is developed with practical application significance, it can be used in many fields of the Korn Ferry Group.
