Chapter 129: Hummingbird Project [One Update]

office

"Boss." Wu Ge and Su Xiu came in.

"How's the system going?" Zhang Fan took a sip of tea and said: "The last time I used our engineering machine, did the 'Time Weather Plug-in Stop Responding' and 'Drop-down Status Bar UI Misalignment' solved?" ”

"It's settled." Wu Ge took the water cup handed by Xiu'er and said, "These problems are in one place. In terms of the system, all UI interfaces have been replaced 98, and I will discuss with my team members and plan to solicit netizens' views on the needs of mobile phone functions in the forum in the next few days. The other is to continue to develop more practical plug-ins for mobile phones. ”

"We have summarized several key points: 1. Mobile phone document management, which is mainly to help users better manage photos, pictures, and documents in their mobile phones. 2. It is the three aspects of dialing, contact, and text message mentioned by the boss. ”

"As the most basic functions of the mobile phone, I plan to build them into a whole, so that users can dial numbers, find contacts, and send text messages in the fastest and easiest way."

"Oh?" Zhang Fan picked up the engineering machine on the table and said, "How do you form dialing, contacts, and text messages into a whole?" ”

"That's ......" Wu Ge took the phone and unlocked it, and explained: "Boss, look, the dialing, contact, and SMS functions on the system are all independent. If we want to dial a number, we can only open the 'dialing interface' and enter the other party's number or contact person to dial. We want to see the contacts, and we can only look for ...... from the contacts"

"If we finish the call and want to see other contacts, we have to exit the dialing screen and open the contacts interface to find it. It's too cumbersome to do that. ”

"What I mean by 'integration of the three' is to form a small communication system with three functions."

"For example, when I open the dialing interface, I suddenly remember to call you, but there is no call log. At this time, you don't need to exit the dialing interface, just swipe left or right through guò to switch 'Contacts'! Then if you want to go back to the dialing screen, swipe in the opposite direction, and go back to 'Dialing' from 'Contacts'. ”

"Texting is simpler. For example, after we make a call, we want to send another text message to the person who just called, and we can directly enter it on the spot through the SMS function of guò 'call log'. No more texting in contacts. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fan understood what he meant, nodded and continued to wait for him to explain.

Wu Ge said with a smile: "My overall design idea is to integrate the communication functions of dialing, call logs, contacts, and text messages. These functions form their own micro structure, that is, the same as our flat UI design ideas, remove cumbersome operations, and make the communication function simpler, more convenient, and easier to use. ”

"I put them together in a 'communication architecture' to form a triangular structure. Whether it's open dialing, contacts, or text messages. As long as you turn on any of them, it is equivalent to starting the entire communication system. Swipe left and right to achieve the interaction of the three. ”

"That's a great idea!" Zhang Fan praised: "In addition to the Android kernel, I think we are also participating in the creation of the Android system. ”

"Hmm." Wu Ge nodded and said: "Actually, it's very simple to only design the system interface UI, but in addition to making users feel good-looking, I don't think that our Dabai is any different from Android native." ”

"So, after the UI was completely replaced, my team and I were ready to make some improvements to the system to make it more comfortable for users to use their phones. We can also help them modify the kernel if Google wants to. ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Fan glanced at Su Xiu with a smile, and continued to look at Wu Ge and said, "What else do you think?" ”

"And many more." Wu Ge smiled: "I also want to add a social element to my phone. Now our Dabai community is very successful under their design in Yutang, if we set up an independent social networking site in the future. We can support them from the system software. ”

"For example, add 'Dabai Community pagination' to the mobile desktop pagination. After the user enters the mobile desktop, swipe left to display his Dabai community, as long as he logs in to the account online, he can learn about friend dynamics, news, news and other information from the 'social page'. ”

"At that time, you can also integrate and add the 'Sea Dog Browser' and 'Panda Instant Messaging Software' of WeChat, so that the three of them can also form a 'social structure system'."

"Finally, there is the idea of creating a 'mobile phone management system'. The mobile phone management system is also a triangular system: they are the "mobile phone text management" I just mentioned, "mobile phone ringtone, Bluetooth and other settings management" and "mobile phone security management". ’”

"When the three micro system structures of 'communication structure system', 'social structure system' and 'mobile phone management system' are completed, our unique system system has been formed! It has nothing to do with Android. Except for using the Android kernel, everything else is our own. ”

"Later, we can design our own system core, and when the time comes, as long as we replace the Android core, we will get rid of the Android system. Form our own big white system. ”

"Another ......"

"Hehehe......" Zhang Fan interrupted Wu Ge's words with a hearty laugh.

He's really happy now! Wu Ge's plan for the Dabai system almost hits the general direction of future Android smartphones, and is even more forward-looking than what he heard from the future broadcast.

Of course, this is also Zhang Fan, if another person can't understand what Wu Ge says, or think that he is exaggerating.

"Boss." Wu Ge suddenly shook his head. thought that he said too much about the future, which caused Zhang Fan to ridicule, but in fact, he was not very sure about the current thoughts in his heart.

……

"It's fine!" Zhang Fan encouraged: "Go on, what do you say 'other'? ”

Wu Ge saw his appreciation, and said carefully: "In addition, after the three systems of 'communication structure system', 'social structure system' and 'mobile phone management system' that I conceived are unified into our Dabai system system, we also need a unified management system. Just like a computer, an account manager is the entire computer system. ”

"My idea is to pass guò a web account. Let the user completely become the owner of the mobile phone, this account is the Dabai community account, but also the Panda instant messaging software account, it can be used with our Xinghuo, Dabai, all the products of Weixin for management. It's like a network key. ”

"Have you ever heard of cloud storage?"

"I've heard a few." Zhang Fan's mind flashed out of the cloud services mentioned in the future news, and asked, "What is the use of cloud space?" I've heard that users can upload data to the cloud and get data from the cloud anytime and anywhere through the guò network. Equivalent to a network USB flash drive, is that what it means? ”

"Yes." Wu Ge didn't expect Zhang Fan to know so much, so he nodded and said, "At present, there is a Dropbox company abroad that has launched a free cloud space service. Dropbox users can upload their own data to the free space anytime, anywhere with an account and a free web synchronization tool. Since its launch in September this year, their company has exceeded 200,000 users. ”

"Now some domestic companies are also planning to start doing it, and at the beginning of this month, Dell launched a plan: it will provide free cloud storage services to netbook users."

"I think we should have entered earlier."

"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded and thought about it, remembering a piece of future news that he had recently heard: 'Kingsoft announced the provision of 100G space for permanent cloud space. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan asked again: "When you mentioned cloud space, are you going to provide cloud services to our users?" You can tell me the full idea. Su Xiu, you write it down. ”

"Okay boss." Su Xiu pressed the cap of the pen.

Wu Ge said: "Just now, the 'communication structure system', the 'social structure system' and the 'mobile phone management system' form our Dabai system system. With these three points, users can enjoy our unique system software experience. ”

"In addition, we can provide users with a network account to manage mobile phone information, which is equivalent to the key to our products."

"In this way, users can use their personal accounts to manage their mobile phones, social networks, and instant messaging on the network."

"The role of free cloud services is to provide users with a management space. As long as there is a network, users do not have to worry about the loss of data and information in the mobile phone. SMS, contacts, call logs, photos, documents can all be uploaded to the cloud space we provide. ”

"Even if the user's mobile phone is lost, his data is still in his personal account space, so there is no need to worry about the loss of important contacts and data. We also use the built-in software to lock down lost phones and help you track down stolen phones. ”

"In general, what I mean is: let users manage all our products with a single personal account! The result is a truly convenient and intelligent experience. ”

"In the words of the boss: we will solve the troublesome things ourselves, so that users can enjoy convenience."

"Very good!" Zhang Fan clapped his hands and said: "Wu Ge, your idea is very good, and it can be used as our goal in the next 3 or 5 years." ”

"Actually, I called you here to talk to you about developing our own system. No matter how good Android is, it is still Google's, and Apple is Apple because it has its own software system. I hope that we will start working on our own system core next year or the end of the year, codenamed Hummingbird. ”

"Boss wants to develop our own system?" Wu Ge was pleasantly surprised.

"Hmm." Zhang Fan smiled: "I think you have a good idea in terms of the system. Since you have considered the structure of the Great White System clearly, why didn't we prepare our own system kernel earlier? ”

"I hope that in 3 to 5 years, we will be able to finish what we just said and form our own software ecosystem."

"Great, boss, I think so too......" Wu Ge stood up excitedly.

Zhang Fan patted him on the shoulder and was about to say something, when Li Li walked in excitedly and said, "Boss, just now CCTV called, saying that he wanted to know about our company." ”
