Chapter 82

Hou Shida ignored people's reactions, and continued in a relaxed tone: "From the beginning, the Chinese computer used the digital input method to input Chinese characters, and it was undoubtedly extremely inefficient to input Chinese through the numeric internal code. Even many foreigners assert that computers cannot be operated using Chinese characters, until the birth of the Wubi input method, which solves the problem of the efficiency of Chinese input. ”

"But at present, if China's computer market wants to continue to expand, it faces one of the biggest problems, that is, the cost of use. This cost is not the money invested by the user, but the cost of time and energy. Although the Wubi font input method has the advantages of fast typing and high accuracy, it inevitably has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the high cost of learning. ”

Several judges who looked quite "young" suddenly sat up straight at this time, no matter what Hou Shida's project was, at least from what he said, there was indeed some truth.

If we want to increase the popularity of personal computers in China, the biggest problem we are facing now is the professionalism of computers. Even personal computers designed for home use can be difficult for Chinese to master. The users of personal computers are basically concentrated in the fields of young people, professionals, and middle-aged people with work needs.

However, as successful businessmen, these people know that the people who have mastered the mainstream consumption power of this society are those young and middle-aged people over the age of 25 who have worked for a certain number of years and have made certain achievements in society.

These people go out of school, their learning ability has deteriorated to a certain extent, and they are relatively slow to accept new things. The cost of learning to type five strokes may seem to them to far outweigh the fun of a personal computer. In order to win this part of the mainstream market, it is necessary to make computers easier to use.

Quite simply, when the market repairs a computer for two hundred dollars at a time, computers cannot be popularized. Just with such a vision, these judges have begun to look at Hou Shida with admiration.

The energetic judges did not affect Hou Shida's performance, but listened to him continue: "Of course, ordinary people can also choose the pinyin input method. But now the best pinyin input method is just intelligent ABC,Other such as pinyin、Larry、Two code input method,Its basic input units are only word level。 Of course, Chinese is broad and profound, and even the recognition and input of words is already rare. ”

"So what are your plans?" After all, a judge couldn't help but be curious, and asked directly.

Hou Shida didn't sell it, and said directly and neatly: "The whole sentence pinyin input method!" According to the semantics of the context, an intelligent input method that can adjust the accuracy of Chinese vocabulary! ”

"Whole sentence pinyin input method?"

"What's the difference between this whole sentence input method and smart ABC?"

"Can a computer understand human language based on semantic tuning?"

The judges were not all computer experts, and had limited knowledge of the difficulty and technical points of Hou's project. However, after all, each district is an administrative region with a fairly developed high-tech industry, and Zhongguancun within its jurisdiction is the leader of the electronics industry.

The eyes of all the judges on the stage were focused on one person, who sat at the end of the judges' bench on the stage, looking not very old, and did not have the temperament of those successful businessmen. If you really want to say, maybe he feels more like a clock.

"Director Wang, you are familiar with this aspect, can you introduce it to us?" A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean head at the head of the judges' bench poked his head over and looked at the end of the judges' bench.

On the table at the end of the judges' seat, a name tag with the name of the judge behind the table was written on it, and it turned out to be Wang Menglong, the CTO of Qiandu.

"Huh?" Wang Menglong seemed to wake up like a dream, and was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. He nodded, and said while thinking: "Pinyin whole sentence input method is actually not the first time that it has been proposed, and this technology has been studied in the domestic software industry. In fact, when it comes to finished products, there are still some. For example, Microsoft and Harbin Institute of Technology jointly developed the Microsoft Pinyin input method, Baoshan Company has also launched similar products, that is, our Qiandu Company has also studied in this area. ”

Speaking of which, some other judges all asked strangely: "Since there has been this whole sentence input method for a long time, why have we never heard of it, and we haven't seen anyone use it?" ”

Wang Menglong's old face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "This is because there are too many variables added to the operation of the pinyin whole sentence input method, and a sentence that is too long will lead to a sharp increase in the share of system resources." According to the general opinion in the industry, in order to afford the use of this input method, the computer hardware must have at least 3.5GHz of dual-core computing power. According to Moore's Law, it will probably take 2009 to 2010. ”

"Oh, I see." The judges nodded one after another, and their eyes were different when they looked at Hou Shida. I heard him talk about the Tao before, and I thought he was really a bit far-sighted. But I don't want to sell the concept at the root.,What pinyin whole sentence input method,It's not something that has long been decided in the industry?

In the eyes of these judges, Hou Shida's image is rapidly approaching the image of a project liar.

"Director Wang is right, before the six-ear input method, it is indeed necessary to occupy a lot of system resources to realize the input of the whole sentence in pinyin." Hou Shida was not in a hurry, and the old god explained: "But the six-ear input method is different, we use a new technology, which can realize the whole sentence input under the premise of occupying very low system resources. Even if it is a low-end model on the market now, I can guarantee that the system share of using the six-ear input method will never exceed 1%. ”

"This is impossible, the problem of information explosion generated in the input of the whole sentence cannot be solved, and it is impossible for the system resource to occupy too high......"

Wang Menglong frowned and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hou Shida: "I'm sorry to interrupt Director Wang's words, but I want to say that maybe I'm young, but the miracle of the software industry doesn't look at things like age and seniority." Just because a lot of people can't do it doesn't mean that no one can do it, isn't that the charm of the software industry? ”

Wang Menglong was speechless by Hou Shida's words, and was silent for a long time before he continued: "Then how did you solve the problem of information explosion?" ”

"I'm sorry, this is our company's trade secret." Hou Shida didn't think about it, and directly refused.

Who is Wang Menglong? The CTO of Qiandu Company, Hou Shida, pointed out the key points of the technology today, and tomorrow Qiandu will be able to organize a team of hundreds of programmers to realize it. Just for the sake of winning an entrepreneurship competition, this is inevitably too cheap.

"So how do we know if you've really solved the problem of the information explosion?" Wang Menglong's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and he asked.

"There is currently an unfinished version of the six-ear input method, although the software is not perfect, but it can initially realize the function of the whole sentence input."

Wang Menglong didn't think about it, and directly refused: "Without a comprehensive test report, I am afraid that there is no guarantee whether the implementation of the software is scientific and reasonable." ”

"When the software is completed, the six-ear input method will be sent to a third-party organization for testing."

"But we need you to prove the software right now."

Wang Menglong stared at Hou Shida tightly, and his mind was racing. About the input method,Qiandu is not without ideas,But all the previous attempts have not crossed the hurdle of information explosion。 And from this six-ear input method software, he smelled the smell of the "big brother" who had no news all along.

The choice of words can be adjusted according to the semantics before and after, and the flavor of fuzzy logic is too heavy at this point. Is Hou Shida the "senior brother" of Luohan Hall that he has not been looking for for a long time? Wang Menglong felt that there had to be a confirmation of the matter.

If Hou Shida is really a senior brother, then this six-ear input method, Qiandu must not let it fall into the hands of other companies. Because,The programming idea used by this input method,It is likely that there is a possibility of innovation in search engine technology!

But before that, Wang Menglong still has to try it to see if he can reveal Hou Shida's little secret.

However, Wang Menglong still overestimated the charm of the entrepreneurship competition after all, and Hou Shida immediately said firmly: "Whether the Six Ears team can advance to the competition is the right of the Organizing Committee of the Entrepreneurship Competition and the judges, but Six Ears Software Company, as an enterprise, also has its own rules and regulations. As the general manager of this business, I have to take the lead in abiding by and maintaining this rule. ”

Hou Shida did not give Wang Menglong a chance to continue to make trouble, and directly beckoned. Li Jiufeng and Mi Tangtang ran up with a set of things such as a notebook and a projector, and quickly arranged all the demonstration equipment.

The next work, Hou Shida just did it once in the second canteen a few days ago, and he can be said to be familiar with it. I borrowed a book from someone at random from the scene, and immediately crackled on the keyboard.

The experience of using the whole sentence input method is completely different from the word input, and when Hou Shida really started the demonstration, the whole venue gradually boiled.

"It's really possible!"

"This typing speed is not slower than that of Wubi, right?"

"It's really pinyin input, look, it can indeed adjust the choice of words according to the context!"

Wang Menglong feigned a cough, pulled the microphone to his mouth, and said directly: "This kind of demonstration is meaningless, we can't know whether your program really solved the information explosion, or made a huge database, and put all the text information you can find into it, maybe the book I borrowed just now happens to be in your database......"

After Wang Menglong said this, the venue gradually quieted down. After all, he is the CTO of Qiandu Company, and he is at least half an authority in the software industry. If you can say this kind of thing, maybe it is really possible.

Compared to a senior solving the problem of the century, maybe a senior who is unlucky is more likely?

Just when everyone was staring at Hou Shida with suspicion again, a judge on the other judge's table suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Hou, I would like to ask your Liuer Company, do you still need to invest? Contemptible Baoshan Company Imperial Capital Branch Manager, Yu Tian. ”
