Chapter 209: Promoting Translation Headsets
Although he was very helpless and angry, Zhou Cheng could only ask the marketing department to stop the pre-sale work on the love pair. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Now that people have got the patent application, to put it bluntly, if you reproduce and sell it yourself, this is already considered infringement, although it is disgusting, but the law is like this, the more you produce, the more you lose the lawsuit, the more you will lose.
Therefore, he could only shift his focus to the research and development of simultaneous translation headsets.
As Xiang Jianmin said, since he knows Yang Xiaoyan's identity, Zhou Cheng almost hid everything from her.
Every time someone from Lab 33 or Cai Xing and others came over, he would take them to the smoking room to avoid Yang Xiaoyan.
Moreover, in this development work, Zhou Cheng sent people to keep an eye on the design data almost throughout the whole process, and destroyed it directly on the spot when it was not needed.
Synchronous translation headset, many people may think that this is not the kind of headset that many bigwigs wear when they have meetings on TV?
Although the role is the same, the principle is really different.
As far as Zhou Cheng knows, at present, the use of synchronous translation in the world is only available when the bigwigs have a meeting, and it is also manual synchronous translation, which is not only complicated, but also expensive, and is definitely not suitable for ordinary private individuals.
Of course, there are more practical options for private individuals, either to be self-taught and take a foreign language course, or to pay to become a translator.
The so-called manual synchronous translation, this is a little embarrassing to explain.
Isn't it amazing that you can see a meeting of bigwigs from various countries on TV, and you can see them wearing headphones, and then they can understand the content of any leader's speech on it? In fact, you can cry after knowing the truth.
What you don't know is that there is no software in this headset at all, just a channel call function similar to a walkie-talkie.
Next to the stage, a translation booth will be set up, and then the interpreters from various countries will stay inside, and they will also wear headphones, and then look at the facial expressions of the speakers on the stage to translate, and then transmit the translated words to their own country's bigwigs through a special headphone channel.
They are all top translators, and they can get more than 30,000 yuan in one translation, so the accuracy rate of translation is almost 100%.
This is what people in the market are known as human simultaneous translation.
What Zhou Cheng wants to do is a fully automated translation tool, which also receives voice information from the outside world, but the difference is that this tool realizes real-time translation through the language processing module, which is equivalent to saving the translator's work.
When the translation is made, it is transmitted to the receiver in real time through the headset, and this is how the whole invention works.
To put it mildly, the technical content of this invention is actually not high.
If you are troublesome, then you only need to set up the translation function in Chinese and English, so that you can sell it directly.
But what Zhou Cheng wants to do is to develop towards as many national languages as possible.
China, Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy......
And so on, his initial setting was more than 100 countries with relatively mature languages, and then he thought about it and simply did it all, after all, a sheep is herd, and a flock of sheep is also herded.
When the first headset was made, Zhou Cheng liked it in his heart.
The curved metal shape does not feel uncomfortable when you wear it, but it is soft and soft.
"Mr. Zhou, the control unit is on the back. ”
A R&D staff kindly reminded Zhou Cheng.
"Well, thank you. ”
Zhou Cheng said thank you, and then turned over the earphones to take a closer look, and on the back of the skeleton of the earphones, there was a small language control selection unit.
This unit is mainly to control the selection of language types, after all, there are too many languages in it, if it is a manual selection, it is estimated that it will be exhausting.
In addition, the design of this headset is also a graphene battery, so you don't have to worry about the power problem.
Because it's an integrated translation chip, you don't need to use it with a mobile phone or computer.
Put it directly on your ears and adjust the language you want to translate.
In addition, the rear of the headset is also designed with a socket for a universal memory card, which allows you to make maximum use of the headset.
When you don't need to translate, you can install memory cards to play songs or audio books, etc.
Zhou Cheng turned on the headphones and set it to Zhongzhong to try it out, and the effect was so good that he was ecstatic.
"Mr. Zhou, the external propaganda called and said that he was looking for you for something. ”
Zhou Cheng sighed and left Laboratory 33 with headphones on.
When he arrived at the External Propaganda Department, he saw that the person in charge of the External Propaganda Department was going back and forth in the office, wiping his sweat while spinning in circles, and it seemed that he had encountered something difficult.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Zhou, you're finally here, something happened!"
"Sit down, slow down, the sky won't fall. ”
For this kind of character who is in a hurry to turn in circles as soon as something happens, Zhou Cheng has always been disgusted. The person in charge sat on the sofa with a sigh, and then seemed to remember something, got up and handed Zhou Cheng a cigarette, and then said.
"That's Mr. Zhou, we formulated a series of promotion plans after receiving the task of synchronous translation software, but ...... There has been a lot of resistance, and now the promotion has been forced to pause. ”
Regarding this result, Zhou Cheng thought of it when he was chatting with Yang Liu at that time, so he just asked softly.
"What kind of resistance are there?"
The person in charge wiped his sweat and sighed.
"Hey, there's everything. First of all, the education system sent us a letter telling us to 'think carefully about the sale', which is also okay.
The most fierce boycotts are those of the foreign language training institutions that rely on universities to survive, as well as some of the country's largest foreign language training schools, who have banded together to organize protests in major cities, and they have taken the form of sit-ins and demonstrations to get the government to test the pressure on us to stop working on simultaneous translation headphones. ”
"Are there any casualties?"
"Oh, not really, but now the momentum is becoming more and more unfavorable to our promotion, and if we don't control it, I'm afraid that there are very likely to be opportunistic elements who will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. ”
As soon as the two were talking, they heard Yang Xiaoyan panting and knocking on the door, shouting as she knocked.
"Mr. Zhou, no, someone jumped off the building!"
Zhou Cheng almost jumped up from the chair, and hurriedly ran over to open the door and asked.
"Where? Who jumped off the building?"
What he was most worried about was that there were employees who were stressed or had psychological problems jumping off the building in the factory, so Wu Laojiu was arranged to be in charge of this part from the beginning.
Wu Laojiu's subordinates are almost all well-known psychologists and psychologists in the country, and he will often go to the staff dormitory to chat and ask these employees about their basic demands.
Now when he heard that someone had jumped off the building, how could he not be in a hurry.
Yang Xiaoyan gasped and pointed to the roof.
"On the roof, on the roof of our office building, I don't know either, and the security guard said it's not from our factory!"
"Damn, where is Wang Gang, where did he die!"
Zhou Cheng scolded, and then rushed out of the office in an instant, and ran up the stairs around the corner with a bang!
