Chapter 1355: Redefining SMS

The SMS function is a function launched in 92, an engineer sent an English word to a mobile phone through a computer, realizing the world's first SMS.

By the way, this engineer is still from Motorola.

After that, mobile phones with SMS sending capabilities also appeared, both Motorola and Nokia, but the whole development process was not very smooth.

First of all, sending SMS requires a special SMS service center, receiving and sending SMS, all require special equipment, and the previous base station does not have the ability to send SMS at all, which leads to the fact that SMS function mobile phones cannot be used at all.

However, with the promotion of GSM technology, the SMS function was promoted along with the GSM base station, and the GSM base station can accept and send SMS, but a new problem has emerged, that is, the problem of the capacity limitation of the service center of SMS.

The text message is not sent along with the phone signal, the text message will first go to the special SMS service center, and then be converted by the service center's equipment before it can be sent to the other party's mobile phone.

However, the initial SMS service center was very slow, and a $2 million SMS service center with 20 typists could only process 10 text messages per second, which was completely insufficient.

In addition, there is a fatal disadvantage of mobile phone text messages, that is, at present, text messages cannot be sent through mobile phones.

If a user wants to send a text message, he needs to call the SMS service center first, say the content of his message, and then the SMS service center will input it into the device through the computer, and finally forward it into text and send it to the mobile phone.

To put it simply, this is not a text message function, but a BB machine function.

The reason why the mobile phone can't input text by itself is that the core problem is the input method.

It's not that mobile phone manufacturers can't design an input method, but they can't install it on the phone.

After all, a language involves a large number of words, and an input method needs to incorporate all these words into the library, which is bound to form a huge database.

At least a dozen MB, and the capacity of mobile phones at that time was only a few hundred kilobytes, so it was impossible to accommodate such a huge database.

What's more, the industry doesn't pay much attention to text messages, and why use text messages to talk about things that can be called, isn't it troublesome to type?

Therefore, the development speed of SMS is very fast, and even many of the latest mobile phones do not have SMS function at all. After all, if you want the SMS function, you must add an input function to the mobile phone.

But now, in Boss Jia's mouth, their Daqian 3 mobile phone will completely change the status quo of the entire mobile phone SMS function.

First of all, Daqian 3 mobile phone has a text message processing function that can send up to 99 characters.

Secondly, Daqian has developed input methods in 12 major national languages, including Chinese input methods, so that all users can easily type all the characters of a country through a dozen buttons on their mobile phones.

Although the speed of large characters will be much slower than that of a computer, it is possible to type them all.

And all Daqian 3 mobile phones, will be prefabricated Chinese input method and English input method two different input methods, in addition, according to different countries, the sale of mobile phones will also be free in the sale of the regional text input method.

Of course, there are many languages and scripts in the world that are not within the scope of these 12 countries, but the population of those countries is very small, and there is no need to deliberately develop the corresponding input method, just make do with the English input method.

This is a problem to be solved on the mobile phone, followed by the interactive side, first of all, the CDMA base station jointly launched by Daqian and Huawei has efficient mobile phone SMS processing capabilities, which can greatly reduce the processing and computing needs of the service center.

Secondly, because there is no need to manually enter text in the service center, coupled with the new SMS service center launched by Huawei to improve the computing power, the processing speed of SMS can be increased by 10 times again, from 100 SMS per second to 1000 SMS per second, so that 8.64 million SMS can be processed every day.

It is enough for a city to have such an SMS processing center.

Boss Jia excitedly described the breakthrough of the SMS function to all customers on stage, but the audience was not as enthusiastic as before, and some even showed disdainful expressions.

The reason is very clear before, that is, the SMS function is generally not favored in the industry, there are telephones, and you can explain things by calling, so why type?

And the mobile phone enters text to send text messages, which is less reliable than the previous one, before the user only needs to speak, and the service staff will convert it into text to send, which is relatively simple.

Now that the user has to type the text message by himself, it is even more inhumane, how can it be welcomed by the user?

Therefore, the customers in the audience are very sneering at this service and express their disbelief.

And Boss Jia doesn't care, anyway, the facts in the future will prove how important SMS is for a mobile phone, after all, even in the future Internet 5G era, you also need SMS to send verification codes.

"Finally, I believe everyone must be very much looking forward to the price of our Daqian 3 mobile phone!" Boss Jia smiled slightly, and the audience couldn't help but be quiet.

Although the last SMS function is a bit stretched, it is not a good function, but the previous function is strong enough, so what price can Daqian mobile phones sell at this time?

Will it continue to be $1,199 a unit?

This makes everyone look forward to it.

"This time, our Daqian 3 mobile phone will be sold in two different versions!" Boss Jia opened his mouth and said another piece of news that surprised the audience.

"These two versions are Daqian 3 and Daqian 3mini"

"Among them, the Daqian 3 mobile phone is just like the one I just introduced, with all the functions and the price is $999 each!" Boss Jia paused, saw the surprised eyes of the audience, and then smiled and said, "Daqian 3mini, the size will be slightly smaller, there is no TF card expansion function, the screen will also maintain the level of Daqian 2, it cannot run higher-performance games, but it has the SMS function and all the other new functions, and the price is 799 US dollars!" ”

"What!" This time, everyone, including those who hid in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast, was stunned.

Daqian's latest mobile phone is $200 lower than the previous launch price, not to mention, and they actually have a mini, which directly reduces the price of the mobile phone to the level of $800 per phone!

Although compared with Daqian 3,mini lacks TF expansion function,Can't play those high-performance games yet,But this has no impact on those non-gamer users,And the latest features that other brands' flagship phones have,mini is all one that doesn't fall all of them。

Coupled with the price of $799 per unit, this is going to be completely crazy!
