Chapter 256: Human-Computer Interaction
The plane landed at Yanjing Airport, Zhang Wenhao's first thing was to rush to Dongchen Technology to find Huang Yong, the customized version of the Android system that he handed over to Huang Yong last time, has been almost talked about with Android, this is much more "light" than today's Android, the new system is still worth some money in the eyes of Android, 1.3 billion US dollars, but the price is that Zhang Wenhao must transfer the core code of the streamlined Android system, so that Android can continue to use this code mode on the new system in the future, to reduce the space of the system itself.
Zhang Wenhao took a taxi to the Gemdale Center, and Xiao Er has been constantly monitoring Qin Yu's movements, but Qin Yu has not met with the Li family at present, but took a car to a bar that has not yet opened.
Qin Yu entered the bar, Xiao Er lost his surveillance, and no video surveillance equipment was found in the bar, but presumably he could not have noticed that he had been monitored, and it was impossible for him to try to hide his whereabouts through this bar, and then escape quietly, so as long as he waited patiently, he would come out after all.
Zhang Wenhao came to the office building of Dongchen Technology in the center of Gemdale, the company was busy, the employees were very surprised to see Zhang Wenhao's appearance, some extroverted, they took the initiative to come up to say hello, Huang Yong also received a call from the front desk lady, knowing that Zhang Wenhao was coming, hurriedly went out to greet him.
Huang Yong didn't expect Zhang Wenhao to come, and said with a surprised smile: "Mr. Zhang, why don't you say hello in advance if you want to come over." β
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said, "I just returned to Yanjing today, so I just came over to take a look." β
Huang Yong nodded and smiled: "Come and sit in my office." β
Following Huang Yong to his office, Huang Yong opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhang, I really convinced you." Can you tell me where the real development team is under your command? β
Zhang Wenhao smiled and asked, "How do you think of asking this question?" β
Huang Yong said: "Our photography terminator, after being sold to Android at a high price, has now swept the mobile phone application market, after Apple's sixth-generation mobile phone is launched." Sales were dismal, setting a new low for Apple's mobile phone sales, and consumer reviews about this phone were also the lowest among Apple's mobile phones, and many consumers who had been waiting for Apple's sixth generation to launch before making a move have retreated. And because of the fire of the photography terminator, and chose Android, now, Apple's losses evaporated by the decline in the stock price alone, have reached billions of dollars, and this data is still increasing. β
Zhang Wenhao nodded and smiled: "It's only to blame that Cook was too bullying at the beginning." The horizon is too short-sighted, otherwise, the photographic terminator is likely to be his. β
Huang Yong laughed and said: "The optimized version of the Android system you gave me last time, and the people at Google are also very optimistic. Plans are set to roll out this new version of the system next month. β
Zhang Wenhao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about what you sell, let them operate it at will." Saying that, Zhang Wenhao said again: "How is the company running now?" Did you find any projects that would be a good fit? β
Huang Yong said: "I am now asking everyone to collaborate on the development of a mobile phone software for human-computer interaction. β
"Human-computer interaction?" Zhang Wenhao asked curiously: "Why did you think of making this kind of software?" What do you mean by human-computer interaction? β
Huang explains: "Human-computer interaction. This should be the so-called voice assistant at the earliest, for example, there was a voice dialing function on mobile phones a long time ago, which is considered the simplest human-computer interaction. Later, by Apple's release of Siri, human-computer interaction was a big step, because Siri is just a pseudo-intelligent program, but it can really help people. β
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said, "Siri is indeed a pseudo-intelligence. In other words, it doesn't really have any real intelligence to speak of. All commands are set, and the recognition of voice does not rely on the program itself, but uploads the user's voice command to the cloud, and the cloud server identifies the specific content of the voice command, and matches it according to the instruction library inside the server, and if there is a matching answer, it is transmitted back to the mobile phone from the cloud. ββ¦,
"Yes." Huang Yong said with a smile: "It's a bit of a high technical content, we are not ready to do this, this kind of first light server is a big problem, not to mention accurate voice recognition, a large number of instruction libraries also need us to establish and improve a little bit, I think is, to make a text human-computer interaction software, mainly positioned in the life assistant." β
Zhang Wenhao smiled and asked, "How is it probably positioned?" β
Huang Yong said: "It's like the 'little chicken' in WeChat, it is actually the receiving port of a server, the user puts forward instructions in the form of chat with it, and it is sent back to the server, and the server directly matches similar problems and sends them back to the user." β
Immediately, Huang Yong said: "For example, the server has built-in map information, when the user starts the information to the system, enter how to go from A to B, after the system receives it, match it in the map information, and then send the road information and ride information to the user, when he asks about the surrounding movie theater information, the server will send the surrounding movie theater information back to him according to the address of the mobile phone positioning, if he asks what good movies are there in the near future, the server will directly send him the list of movies that are being released in the near future." , playing the role of a life assistant. β
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said, "There seems to be a lot of such software now." β
"Yes." Huang Yong said with a smile: "The addition of the instruction library is a big problem, because all the answers, in general, need to be manually preset, and also need to manually think about the various questions that users may ask, the more perfect the questions, the better the user experience, otherwise, if the user asks ten questions, eight of them cannot be answered, the user will inevitably lose interest." β
Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "This kind of software can only be positioned for free, that is, if you want to generate income, you must not only do a good job of the software itself, but also find a way to promote it, so as to accumulate a large number of users, so that it is possible to make profits through advertising and other forms." β
"Yes." Huang Yong didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "So I'm going to engage in a so-called 'instruction open source', that is, our server." What kind of questions can be answered, not only by ourselves to add, the majority of netizens can also be added with their own interests, now there are so many popular words and popular events on the Internet, if we can accumulate a large number of interesting instruction libraries. This software is no longer just a user's life assistant, but also a user's leisure and boring game. β
Zhang Wenhao pondered in his heart, the current pseudo-intelligence is like this, the system does not have the real ability to think at all, and the only thing the system can do. It is to execute the command according to the preset instruction library, if the instruction library has a preset answer to a certain question, then when the user asks this question, the system can answer, otherwise, if there is no instruction library in the instruction library, even if it asks a simple question. He couldn't answer either.
Pseudo-intelligence does things back and forth, and what is spelled is nothing more than the comprehensiveness of the instruction library, at this point, Apple's Siri is much ahead of other software, because Siri really achieves high-precision speech recognition. When users want to ask questions, they don't need to type, they only need to dictate in the simplest way possible, and the bigger thing about Siri is that it's pre-built in Apple. Apple, on the other hand, has open control over Siri, which means it doesn't just answer questions. It can also make changes to the mobile phone according to the user's requirements, for example, if the user wants to set an alarm, it can directly start the alarm function of the mobile phone, and the user wants to check the email. It can also enable the phone's mail function.
From this point of view alone, Siri is combined with Apple terminals. The resulting user experience,It is difficult for other text-based interactive software to achieve,If you can develop a human-computer interaction software similar to Siri,Or even more than Siri,It should have a large market,And,This software is best positioned in the Android system,And,It can make changes to the Android system,In this way,It's on par with Appleγ β¦,
Zhang Wenhao couldn't help but ask Xiao Erdao: "Is it possible for us to develop artificial intelligence now?" β
Xiao Er was stunned and said with a smile: "Boss, don't be kidding, it's impossible, because artificial intelligence needs not only computing power, but also neural reflex ability, the current level of science and technology, no matter how powerful the CPU, in terms of computing power, can not surpass the human brain, although it seems that the computing power of people is far inferior to the computer, but, the computing power of the computer is very simple, that is, the calculation between data, and the computing power of the human brain is extremely complex, vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, these all need the human brain to calculate, But this is only scratching the surface, the most massive system of the human brain is the unique thinking ability of human beings, and without biochips, it will never be possible to develop artificial intelligence. β
Zhang Wenhao pondered for a moment and said, "What about pseudointelligence? If you analyze Apple's Siri, are you sure that you can make a more powerful human-computer interaction software than it? β
Xiao Er sneered and said, "Boss, Siri is just a bubble of!" Although I can't make real artificial intelligence, if I do pseudointelligence, I must be more than 10,000 times stronger than it! I can preset a huge number of super-user-friendly instruction libraries in my pseudo-intelligent programs. β
Zhang Wenhao asked curiously: "Super large?" How big can it be? β
Xiao Er smiled: "How big is it?" Let me tell you this, once the instruction library reaches a sufficient number, human beings will not be able to distinguish whether it is pseudo-intelligent from communication alone, because although it does not have real intelligence, but its built-in instruction library is powerful, perhaps, a person will not do anything in ten years, just rack his brains to think about various problems, and there may not be a problem beyond this instruction library, even if he has a whim, ask the system if he knows how long he is, although the system can't really know his length, But the system will also have a command specifically to answer his question, for example: Sorry sir, if you want to know how long you are, then I recommend that you prepare an AV first, then a ruler, and if you feel necessary, you can also prepare a roll of toilet paper, so that you can know not only the length, but also the increase rate. β
Saying that, Xiao Er said again: "But what about Siri? She can't have a directive specifically for this kind of fucking problem, it only has a special thesaurus at most, and once it recognizes the word, and the word is in the special thesaurus, it will immediately reply: pay attention to your words, and similarly, if the silly X is also in this thesaurus, it will give you the same answer when you ask a question with a silly X. β
Zhang Wenhao understood Xiao Er's explanation, and said with a smile: "In this way, what you mean is that you can improve the instruction library as much as possible, just like a game of words and sentences, you basically prepare all the possibilities in advance, in this way, there are few problems that can really stump you." β
"Yes." Xiao Er smiled: "I don't need to be so exaggerated as I just said, get a library of instructions that will not be stumped for ten years, now Siri's functions are nothing more than a few, calling, texting, receiving emails, setting alarms, timers, checking maps, helping to jump to search engines, etc., when the time comes, I only need to develop a more than 100 times more than Siri instruction library, Siri will be completely useless!" β
Zhang Wenhao nodded and asked with a smile: "Is this difficult?" How long does it take to be ready? β
Xiao Er said: "The software is not very difficult and can be developed quickly, but you need to build a large server and instruction processing center, and ensure enough bandwidth to deal with the problem that nearly 10 million users may issue instructions at the same time in the future." β
Zhang Wenhao asked embarrassedly: "What do you mean, just such a software, in terms of bandwidth alone, should be on par with a first-class portal?" β
"Not really." Xiao Er said with a smile: "The command interaction of the website, the amount of information is very large, sometimes the amount of information on a page will be calculated in MB, and our previous interaction with the user is audio information, and the amount of information has been reduced a lot, in my opinion, in the early stage, it is enough to invest a few million, and then gradually increase it." β
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said, "Yes, then you prepare the software first, and I will ask Huang Yong to prepare the hardware." β
Xiao Er said with some embarrassment: "Boss, all I can do at the moment is three languages, Chinese, English and Vietnamese."
Zhang Wenhao thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you can help me exchange the five languages of Spanish, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian and Japanese, plus the Chinese and English you already master, and integrate these seven languages." β
βOKοΌβ Xiao Er nodded, and asked again, "Then don't you have to do Vietnamese?" β
"Don't." Zhang Wenhao waved his hand and said: "The number of users is small, the economic development is relatively backward, and there is no practical value. β
"Got it."
