Chapter 248: Tablets and New Technologies
"In-depth analysis of Zhang Fan's brand thinking, tell 10 secrets you don't know!" ——Huang Yi Technology Channel.

……
On the morning of the 4th, after the "Big White. The opening of "Fan Festival" has entered the 48-hour countdown stage, and the hot discussion on the Internet is still there, and the Xinghuo side is basically in a state of operation.
In the chairman's office, Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang are each holding a report and reading it carefully.
One is the "Japan Sparrow Online Wire Number jù Report", and the other is the "Panda" and "Sea Seal" download number jù report on the IOS platform.
According to the "Report on the Number of Sparrows on the Line in Three Days" provided by a Japanese company, the popularity of Sparrow in Japan is almost 'phenomenal'.
In the case of no advertising: Japan Sparrow Network was launched on the first day, and there were only 7,000 registered users, of which 97% were registered through the mobile terminal of the guò APP or mobile network.
The next day, after the news spread in a large area, the total number of registered people on the Japanese Sparrow Network suddenly surged to 150,000! The number of Apple APP downloads exceeded 130,000, and it became the 7th place in the sales list of the Apple Mall.
By the third day, the number of registrations had nearly tripled! Sparrow application in the day. The total number of downloads in the Apple Store store has risen to the top position!
The effect is like a snowball.
In addition to the freshness and the unique social and design style of Sparrow.com, it is the most attractive to Japanese netizens. It is none other than the 'sparrow five organs' carefully created by Zhang Fan and his partners.
……
The five contents of 'novels, comics, games, information, and videos' on the Japanese Sparrow Network are not as rich as those in China.
In addition to the "Japanese version of Dabai Happy Farm" in the game channel. Other channels are like uncultivated land.
After the arrival of Japanese netizens, they were full of novelty about the website. And they quickly fell in love with this social network from Huaxia and began to participate in the construction of website content.
The three most active channels are novels, comics, and games.
The "Novel Channel" added 28 new works on the third day, and at the top of the popular list was "Me and Ozuki-kun" by Chiba Komei, which sold nearly 50,000 yen in the electronic version.
The 'Manga Channel' added 17 new works to its three-day sale, and most of the authors are some unemployed artists and anime lovers.
The operation of the 'game channel' has been adjusted by Miyazaki, and it is very different from that in China.
The Japan Sparrow Game Channel is not only a web game platform, but also acts as a 'download and sales platform for original games'.
In Japan, there are still many original game authors, and most of them develop them individually. Or three or two partners develop together, and then sell the developed games to big companies like Nintendo and Sony.
Then there is its own independent website to sell game activation codes.
Miyazaki and his team members adjusted the game channel by drawing on the sales ideas of 'micro-novels' and 'micro-animation' to build the game channel into a 'download sales platform'.
In other words, 'provide an original game upload space for those original game developers'.
After the game is uploaded, the original creator can decide the price of the game by himself, and the website acts as a platform to enjoy a certain share of each game sold.
The same is true for the mobile version of Sparrow.com, but it sells APP games.
……
In general. The state of the Japanese sparrow network in the past few days is similar to Zhang Fan's original expectations. Even better.
Games, novels, and comics are just like what Zhou Yang and Zhang Fan thought about. With the increasing number of original works and authors, it began to attract large fans and curious netizens.
The novel idea of electronic sales has also brought a lot of shock to traditional Japanese publishing and graphic novel companies.
At the end of the report, it was mentioned that yesterday there had been an email from a novel publishing and animation company asking about electronic copyright cooperation.
"Not bad!"
Zhou Yang put down the report and said: "This time the sparrow got off to a good start in Japan. Although there are not many micro-novels and comics above, judging from the 'number of author account applications', there is great potential for development in the future......"
"By the way, boss, I think it's better to expand the domestic hot-selling comics and novels to the Japanese platform. By the way, we also introduce excellent Japanese works to our domestic platform. In this way, both authors are beneficial, and it also enhances the diversity of our platform. ”
"I thought about this just now......
Zhang Fan pondered: "There is a special translation department in Japan, and there is no problem with comic translation, but the cost of novel translation is very high, and if the translation is not good, it will ruin an excellent work." ”
"It's better to start with the comic copyright extension, and try to send two domestic comic works to explore the water this month."
Zhou Yang nodded. As they spoke, the two talked about the establishment of a Japanese micro-communication international company.
Panda Chat and Fur Dog Browser also sold well on the international IOS platform, with 350,000 downloads of Panda and 500,000 downloads of Fur Seal in three days.
Such achievements show that the two have the potential for international development.
……
"Boss, the tablet is here!"
The two were talking, Xia Xiaotian stepped in with two gift bags, and behind him were Li Jianguo and other hardware product developers.
Zhang Fan's eyes lit up and gathered on the sofa with everyone.
The gift bag in Xia Xiaotian's hand was specially designed by Gao Tingting and other designers for the 'experience store'. The whole is simple and fashionable, and both sides are printed with a big white LOGO logo.
There are two colors of the gift bag, one is bright red with white LOGO, and the other is pure white with bright gold LOGO.
As soon as you put it on the coffee table in the office, you immediately show a high-end quality that stands out from the rest.
……
When I opened the red bag, I saw that it contained a white square box, the box design was the same as that of S1. After pulling it apart. I saw a 7-inch large white tablet lying quietly inside. Next to it is the 'regular version charger', the 'number of jù cables', and a pair of earphones.
The white bag contains a 10-inch tablet.
Two versions. All use the same hardware configuration as mobile phones, each with 8G and 16G versions, and 5 million Sony cameras.
The difference is that the battery capacity and screen of the 10-inch version are larger, but the screen resolution is still the same, both use Sharp's specially customized 1024x768 screen, and the clarity is almost the same as that of the mobile phone.
The size of the 10-inch version of the large white tablet is: 251.2*190.1×10.8mm, with a total amount of 553 grams.
The size of the 7-inch tablet product is: 187.1*134.7×10.1mm, with a total amount of 278 grams.
Because the size is smaller. It is lightweight and can be easily operated with one hand.
The two products are set up at the same time: touch screen home button, power switch button, volume adjustment button, three buttons. The S1's 'camera button' has been removed.
Because the S1 can be grasped with one hand, one more physical key can quickly complete the photo, and the tablet itself needs to be operated with both hands, so it is cumbersome to design an extra camera button.
However, in order to strengthen and facilitate the tablet to take pictures, Dabai engineers have done a little effort on the power switch.
For example, after the tablet enters the 'lock screen state', press the [Power Switch] to 'wake up' or 'sleep' the screen. Press and hold to go directly to the camera interface. It's faster than unlocking the startup camera, or having the camera function built into the lock screen.
The shutdown and restart functions are designed into the drop-down control panel. Neither of these is very frequently used.
……
Click-
Zhang Fan pinched the lower right corner of the 7-inch tablet with his right hand, and pressed the power button with his left index finger, and after 1 second, he saw that the lock screen interface 'cross' switched to the camera interface.
Xia Xiaotian's cute smile and scissorhands appeared on the screen.
Click the middle photo shutter, the screen flashes, and a small red plus sign prompts in the upper right corner of the photo interface, which means 'add a new photo'.
This is also a small construction that the user mentions to the company. You can intuitively know how many shots you have taken.
After taking a picture, Zhang Fan's finger pressed the camera button and did not move, only listening to the dense continuous beating sound coming from the 'Click......Click' flat speaker. The interface flickers wildly.
During continuous shooting, the entire camera system hardly pauses, until the interface suddenly crashes and exits when the continuous shooting is 34 frames.
When I touched the camera again, I could clearly feel the heat from the hardware.
The continuous shooting function tested by Zhang Fan is a 'seamless fast shooting technology' jointly developed by the software department and hardware, and is a 'giveaway' when developing the 'optical image stabilization system'.
Last year, Zhang Fan set up a hardware department and a software department to develop an 'imaging engine system' and an 'optical image stabilization system' to improve the 'mobile phone screen display effect' and 'camera imaging quality'.
With more than half a year of research, both technologies have made major breakthroughs.
The tablet engineering machine in his hand uses the 'Dabai Imaging Engine Technology', so the system display effect of the tablet is no different from that of the mobile phone.
The disadvantage is also very obvious, and that is the power consumption. This technology is a software technology, which needs to occupy a part of the processor's computing resources, so the power consumption increases.
The Hardware Division is planning to develop 'imaging chips' to reduce the dependence of this technology on processors, which can also be used in products such as 'smart TVs' in the future.
And in the 'optical image stabilization system', the engineers have also achieved quite good results.
The 'Dabai Image Stabilization Technology' is a method of obtaining photos of different quality in rapid continuous shooting, and then using optical calculations to uniformly adjust the continuous photos, and finally combining the processed photos into one to obtain the highest quality photos.
Now the engineers have successfully overcome the problem of 'slow photography', and the continuous shooting speed can reach 1.8 frames per second, and the optical calculation method has been solved.
In terms of the performance of the 7-inch flatbed camera in Zhang Fan's hand, it is more than 50% higher than that of the S1, and the lens of the same pixel, the photo clarity and detail of the tablet are almost twice as high as that of the mobile phone.
The fly in the ointment is that the current processor hardware can't keep up.
Just now, when the camera interface automatically exited when 34 shots were taken in a row, it was actually the processor that was overloaded, causing the system to enter a 'stable dìng protection state' and automatically close the 'troublemaking program'.
……
"I remember crashing last month after only 27 shots in a row, right?" Zhang Fan opened the album and looked at it.
"Hmm." Li Jianguo said: "At the end of the month, we thought of a new calculation method, which can improve the speed of taking pictures, but it needs a stronger processor to cooperate. Now, our software technology has surpassed the hardware configuration of mobile phones. ”
Speaking of this, everyone had a little pride on their faces.
Zhou Yang said with a smile while trying out "Happy Farm HD": "If others don't support it, then we will make it ourselves." Isn't the use of ARM architecture already negotiated? Then start our "Snow Wolf Project" and strive to use it in the third generation of mobile phones. ”
Li Jianguo and the team nodded: "My colleagues and I are planning to split the team, some colleagues will continue to develop 'imaging chips', and the other part will start to develop 'Snow Wolf processors' based on the ARM architecture." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Fan swiped his fingers across the tablet, looked at the time and said, "Let Li Li and the others send the prepared "Tablet Copywriting" to it." ”
"Since the technical aspect is not very stable, let's wait for the second-generation mobile phone and tablet hardware to be improved before using it."
"Our tablet itself has been very eye-catching, I believe everyone will like it."
Zhou Yang smiled: "I don't know if others like it or not, anyway, I think it's cool to use our tablet to watch videos, novels, and surf the Internet." ”
"I guess sending the copywriting today will make my peers think about it!"
“MP4? That's not right! Notebook? It's not like that! ”
"Hahaha......"
Looking at Zhou Yang's imitation of suspicion, there was laughter in the office, and everyone was very much looking forward to the Internet's reaction to this new white product.
