Chapter 369: How Does "Input Method" Software Make a Profit?
Of course, this is just a legend
In real terms, Sogou Pinyin still can't exceed Wubi, after all, Wubi has the advantage of his body. It's just that the five-stroke input method is too difficult to learn because of beginners. If you are not a computer major, few people generally learn to type in five strokes. Until Sogou Pinyin came out, not many people learned Wubi.
In memory, Sogou Pinyin input method, is in 2006, developed by Sohu company, based on a pinyin input method under the system platform. The biggest feature of the input method,That is, in the thesaurus,Countless new words on the Internet have been updated,So that when you go online,You can code out the thesaurus of thousands of netizens more quickly。
Moreover, Sohu was originally a search engine, although his search engine is not as widely used as Baidu, but in the field of Internet search, it has also accumulated rich experience. As a result, the Sogou Pinyin input method has also added search engine technology, which is used to continuously update the thesaurus and get close to the lives of netizens, so as to make the typing speed faster.
Of course, later generations have also taken this to the next level and launched another input method, that is, cloud input.
This cloud is the same as cloud security, cloud antivirus, and cloud computing. Cloud input, that is, there is no need to download the thesaurus, you can directly enter pinyin on the web page, that is, you can complete the typing. Moreover, since pinyin is entered on the web page, the calculations and the like are all on the server connected to it, not the local computer. The computing power of the server is much faster than that of the local computer, and it is much more accurate.
Therefore, the cloud input method is higher than the search engine input method. However, the scope of this input method is not very wide, after all, if you type, it is impossible to open a web page to type on it. It will only be good to use on search engines, for example, in the Baidu search box, there is cloud input technology.
In addition to the "search engine" technology, Sogou Pinyin input method has added some other functions. For example, updating the thesaurus online. After all, society is developing, people are developing, words and languages are developing. One new word on the Internet is coming out today, and another one may appear tomorrow. As an input method used by the majority of people, it should naturally keep pace with the times and keep up with the pace of the times.
In this way, later generations of Sogou Pinyin input method, he can also automatically update the thesaurus.
In addition, due to the generation of this auto-updated thesaurus. This means that in fact, Sogou Pinyin can be networked. According to the networking function, then, when countless people use the input method, he can also generate countless additional functions. For example, advertising, such as ...... Hehe, do everything that major companies want to do, but can't do.
Just like 360 security software, the huge number of users is definitely a valuable resource to utilize.
"Haha, it seems, we thought of it together."
Chen Jia laughed, and seemed to appreciate the idea of "Zhong Jingtian".
Why did search engine input methods not appear until 2006 in later generations, it is because this idea is not something that ordinary people can think of. And those who can come up with it all have amazing wisdom. Moreover, once this technology is used in the input method, a large number of input methods in later generations will stand aside. Even Google, Tencent and the like are suspected of plagiarizing Sogou Pinyin. It can be seen that the innovation of this input method is not small, and it is simply the history of creating a generation of input methods.
"Since Brother Chen has already thought of it, I think, then I will leave for the time being."
Although Zhong Jingtian was a little disappointed, what was there to stay here. His biggest cooperation strategy, the other party has been fully aware. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty company led by Chen Jiayi has all the financial resources. There is also a Baidu search engine in hand, I am afraid that within a few months, you can create an input method software based on "search engine" technology.
After speaking, Zhong Jingtian was about to leave.
"Hey, why is Brother Zhong in such a hurry, our cooperation hasn't been discussed yet?"
"Cooperation?"
What cooperation is there to talk about now?
"Yes, it's cooperation."
Chen Jia laughed.
This input method idea,Although I thought of it,But it was also under the prompting of Zhong Jingtian,This is how I recalled。 Otherwise, there are so many things in the future, how could Chen Jiayi think of so much. He can't think about a lot of new products in the future all the time. Even if he thinks, there are some things that are more iǎ, and he will forget.
For example, this input method software, Chen Jiayi has forgotten it. Now I was reminded by the bell shockingly, and I remembered it. "How to cooperate?" ”
"If Tang Dynasty Company asks you to be responsible for the production of this input method, what do you think?"
Don't look at an idea, but for many people, it can't be imagined in a lifetime. Now this bell is shocking,Not only created the memory input method,And,In the case that the search engine is not very perfect,You can still see the great role of the search engine for the input method,This talent,It's not a big deal。 Therefore, please be responsible, and you can do your best.
"Excuse me?"
After the disappointment just now, the huge contrast that came in an instant made Zhong Jingtian a little incredulous.
"Exactly you."
……
Linchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau.
"You, what do you want?"
A group of students and a group of society are just today, and dozens of people have all been arrested.
"I don't want to do anything, and I want to commit murder maliciously...... I think it's a year of closure. ”
One of the officers apparently knew a few of them, presumably because they had a criminal record.
"Police Liu, don't let me either. Although we wanted to teach those iǎzi a lesson, we also failed to commit murder. ”
A few of them complained, and then glared fiercely at a few students on the side. If it weren't for a few of them, would they have been caught by these cops? Moreover, it was really depressing to be caught this time. Just said that he was going to start, and a group of criminal police officers fell from the sky. TD, as if to protect him.
"Exclusive protection?"
I went for a while, and the thought of this made a few people gasp.
Is this a coincidence?
"It seems that you know some of the Fa, yes, yes, but your luck is really bad and you provoked people who shouldn't be messed with."
The officer sneered. Then continued, "Linchuan is not the Linchuan of the year, in the future, you should go out, or find a proper job, otherwise, sooner or later, you will suffer." ”
Now Linchuan is more and more valued by the state. They can't fight if they don't commit crimes. But if you get caught, I'm afraid you'll have to shed a layer of skin if you don't die. Luckily, these guys really tried to commit murder. Otherwise, detaining them for ten or eight years would be a matter of one sentence.
With that, the officer left. And the dozens didn't know what they were thinking. There are those who are amazed, and there are those who are contemplative.
……
A few days later, Tang Dynasty Software secretly established the Tang Dynasty Input Law Department, and it was Zhong Jingtian who was in charge of the plan.
"Shocking, you say, how should our input method be profitable?"
The Tang Dynasty input method has been combined with Baidu and is being secretly produced. In his spare time, Chen Jiayi asked Zhong Jingtian a question.
"The profitability of the input method is relatively single, and at present, in our planning, there is only advertising."
The ads mentioned here are not the same as the ads that come out of the pop-up window of TT software. Rather, in the installation of input method software, advertising is given to some businesses. For example, when installing the input method, it is necessary to install some other iǎ software for others, which plays a role in advertising other iǎ software.
However, if it's just this one feature, it's too monolithic.
"Anything else?"
In fact, not only the profitability of the current input method software is single, in fact, the input method software of later generations is also very simple. Even if the input method is connected to the network, the profit has not increased much.
"Actually, Mr. Chen ......"
Zhong Jingtian thought about it, and seemed to be thinking about whether he could say something.
"Why, just say what you have to suggest."
Zhong Jingtian is just a student who has not yet graduated, and he is very malleable. Chen Jiayi likes this kind of innovative subordinates very much, and he also wants to train as much as possible. Therefore, in the past few days, Chen Jiayi plans to cultivate Zhong Jingtian well. Perhaps, in the next few years, he will be a "Zhao Danyang" of the Tang Dynasty.
"I don't think it matters if our input method is profitable or not."
"Oh, how do you say?"
Chen Jiayi asked in surprise about Zhong Jingtian.
"Compared with other software, input method software is a necessary software for installation, and it is also very important. However, this software has its own limitations, which is too coincidental. In this way, it also restricts the greater business I think, the input method as an advertisement of the Tang Dynasty company, compared with their own advertising, the effect is more significant. ”
This is Zhong's mind.
When this idea came out, Chen Jiayi was moved. He didn't expect that Zhong's eyes were so sharp.
"Yes, I don't plan to treat the input method as a profit software."
A lot of input methods in later generations are not profitable. Moreover, even if the performance of the Sogou Pinyin input method is relatively strong, there is not much profit. However, the additional profit generated by using the input method is more huge than the simple profit. Just like this input method software, if the unified pinyin input method can be achieved in China, then, all the computers in the country, are equipped with your Tang Dynasty software, invisibly, he will bring a very huge advertising effect to your company.
Moreover, the development of Tang Dynasty Company has been impossible to achieve rapid growth several times. Then, the Tang Dynasty company must use all the resources that can be profitable to maintain everything that has been worked hard before. For some examples, we compare the official affairs of the Tang Dynasty to a supermarket, and in the supermarket, there are only a few kinds of relatively large profits. Like Tang Dynasty TT, Tang Dynasty Network, Tang Dynasty Competition, etc...... However, a supermarket can't just have these products, it also needs some other iǎ things to decorate these main products.
Thus, when users use these iǎ software, they will also think of some of his other products. For example, when we use the Tang Dynasty input method, you will think that he also has Tang Dynasty TT, Tang Dynasty Network, Tang Dynasty Animation...... A lot,This is the whole input method to bring the advertisement。
Although it cannot make a direct profit, the indirect profit is very large. A!
