If you ask Xiao Qi what kind of smart wearable equipment he likes, he himself doesn’t have an answer.
But if you ask Xiao Qi which smart wearable device he most yearns for, Xiao Qi will say that he most hopes to see Apple’s smart watch appear as soon as possible.
As early as when Gang Leader Qiao was still there in his previous life, there were rumors that Apple would focus on developing two products after the iPad and iPhone.
The first is Apple Smart TV, and the second is Apple Smart Watch.
The first one developed should be the Apple smart watch.
Xiao Qi was a little surprised at the time, why is it that a smart watch that is so small is easier to make than a smart TV that is so big?
Later, when Xiao Qi saw an American technology magazine, he learned that in fact, Apple did not make any outstanding changes to the first generation of smart watches. They only reduced the size of the smart electronic device, including the appearance and internal parts, and then made a smaller version.
The simple iPhone comes out. The iPhone is a mobile phone, and of course it can be used as a watch on weekdays.
However, Gang Leader Qiao's expectations for Apple TV are very high. It is said that it involves thousands of improved technologies. Once launched, it will give people a disruptive experience, which can definitely be compared with the launch of the iPhone back then.
Therefore, the order of launch of the two will be different.
Xiao Qi sometimes thinks that if he postpones his reincarnation for a year, he might be able to see Apple's smart watch. It would also be a pleasure to see what new technologies they have.
Although Apple smart watches have been described as unfavorable in technology magazines, Xiao Qi feels that smart watches are definitely not that easy.
A screen the size of a watch is easy to talk about, but it is absolutely difficult to make the battery so small and still have to consume such a large amount of energy for the smart system.
There is also the CPU chip. This is not just a reduction. The functions must not be inferior. It must also be made more suitable for smart watches. This is another big problem.
In addition, there are various components and so on... In short, except for companies with extremely strong technical strength, other small companies cannot make smart watches that deserve their reputation.
Of course. In this life, Xiao Qi’s Fairy Company is doing its part.
He had already established dozens of experimental groups in 2008 to develop and test various components in preparation for smart watches.
In addition, since he had no technical ability, Xiao Qi could only entrust the world's first-class companies to customize various parts according to his own needs.
For example, the battery, which is the same size as an ordinary watch battery and is smaller than a fingernail, must have more than 1,000 mAh of power to maintain the 24-hour operation of the smart watch. If the user uses it frequently, it may be at most
Used 12 hours.
This is definitely not enough for smart watches.
Therefore, in Xiao Qi's mind, it should be considered a high-quality product if it reaches the same 3000 mAh as today's smartphones and can be used at least five days on normal standby for more than one day.
That's right.
Xiao Qi creates smart electronic products. The primary purpose is to produce high-quality products. If he rushes to launch products just to seize the market, it is not in line with Xiao Qi's original intention of creating electronic technology.
It must be the best product to be worthy of the name Fairy Company.
Look at Apple. It started researching Apple TV as early as 2008, but it didn’t come out in 2013.
Do you dare to say that Apple’s thousands of scientific researchers are not strong? Apple has not invested much?
Even many manufacturers in the smart electronics industry have launched smart wearable devices within a year or two. They are actually multi-functional monitors with an LCD screen. Why can’t Apple do the same?
Because Apple adheres to the philosophy of Qiao Gangzhu, if you want to do something, you must be the best, otherwise it will be embarrassing when you show it.
That is to say, because Apple has such a spirit, everyone thinks that Apple’s products are the best. Whenever a new product comes out, they buy it without even thinking about it, and they won’t make the wrong purchase anyway.
This powerful brand loyalty effect is reflected.
If Fairy Company wants to be what Xiao Qi envisioned, it must do better than Apple.
Therefore, Fairy Company’s products must not only be at the forefront of the world’s intelligent electronic technology, but also each product must be stunning and stunning.
Now it seems that Fairy Company can fully deserve the title of "Produced by Fairy, it must be a high-quality product", even better than Apple.
The world's first screaming smart electronic product, dreampad, is produced by Fairy Company.
Dreamstars, the large-screen smartphone that makes people fall in love with it, is produced by Fairy Company.
It has strong strength, but it has drastically lowered the price of smartphones. The most cost-effective smartphone Dreamsnow is also produced by Fairy Company.
In comparison, Apple has only one iPhone so far, which seems a bit thin.
Therefore, Apple ranks second in the smart electronics industry after Fairy Company, which means it is not partial to Fairy Company.
If it wants to succeed, Fairy Company cannot be satisfied with the current few products. It must continue to make breakthroughs and research and development of new products in at least ten or twenty years, so that it can lead the entire intelligent electronics industry and be solid.
To consolidate its position as “the world’s number one smart electronics company”.
In addition to the updated products of each product, the next product to be released should be for Dreampad fans.
Next, Xiao Qi’s goal is to focus on smart bracelets, the entry-level product of smart wearable devices.
The smart bracelet is actually a very simple product.
Generally speaking, as long as it is connected to a mobile phone with limited water resistance for exercise detection, calorie consumption, heart rate, sleep quality, etc., it is enough.
Although these functions may seem many, when it comes to designing a CPU, it is very simple. It is basically equivalent to a few small apps, and it is enough to add them to the chip.
In fact, these functions have already been developed. Hospitals and Adidas and Nike's sports research and development centers have already begun to use these devices.
All the smart bracelet needs to do is to reduce and weaken these programs.
If you want to do better, then you can raise your requirements in terms of materials, appearance, and LCD screen selection.
Apart from anything else, due to the serious weakening of functions, even with a 1000 mAh lithium polymer ultra-small battery, smart bracelets can generally have a standby time of more than 15 days. This is difficult for smart watches and the like nowadays.
Did it.
Xiao Qi has seen pictures of Xiaomi bracelets that were exposed in 2013. The simplest version is said to be priced at no more than 100 and is suitable for mid- to low-end product consumers. However, if it is made by Fairy Company, it cannot be made that cheaply.
I can let Xiaomiao Electronics do it in the future.
The target prototype of the smart bracelet that Xiao Qi wants to build should be the Gearfit smart wearable bracelet that will be launched in early 2014.
At the end of 2013, Xiao Qi had seen a lot of photos of the leaker. Although he was ridiculed as a smaller version of Samsung mobile phone, Xiao Qi liked the large LCD screen and various dazzling functions.
, at least much better than the Galaxy Gear, their first smart wearable device released in September 2013.
However, the appearance and side design of Galaxygear are also good.
Therefore, when Xiao Qi drew the three-dimensional design drawings, he mainly combined the characteristics of Galaxy Gear and Gear Fit.
As for the best-selling Fitbit series products, Xiao Qi feels that they are too stingy. Basically, its display screen is equivalent to the electronic watch we wore when we were children. It is very small. I don’t know if it is worse than Samsung’s.
How many grades.
However, the slim fit silicone material also has the advantage of being almost imperceptible in weight.
As for Nike's fuelband and jawbone company's jawwave neup, they are somewhat similar. The advantages are that they are easy to carry and fashionable. The disadvantage is that they are too stingy and cannot feel the benefits of "smartness" at all. Even the LCD screen is not colorful.
Several project team leaders in the laboratory took the drawings given by Xiao Qi and immediately went to various places around the world to apply for patents. Then they took them to their own groups to watch and figure out the smart bracelet conceived by Xiao Qi.
.
After the earthquake last year, they started research and development of smart watches, and it has been almost a year now.
Although it cannot be said that they have understood it clearly, under Xiao Qi's many tips and correct guidance, they have already felt the pulse. That is to say, some technical difficulties have not been overcome, and it may take two or three years to fully complete the research and development.
But smart bracelets are different. At most, they only have one-tenth of the functions of smart watches, and the requirements are not high at all.
After holding it in my hands for half a month, they gave a very conservative time to develop this smart bracelet before July 2010.
In fact, after careful calculation, these guys will be able to produce engineering test products by the end of this year. However, Xiao Qi is not in a hurry. Secondly, Xiao Qi's requirements are too strict. If the products are not
If they are satisfied, they will definitely scold them and smash their products.
Everyone knows that designers care about the products they design as if they are their own children.
Xiao Qi's personality in the laboratory was completely different from his usual personality. Everyone called him "tyrant", not only because Xiao Qi could curse people, but also because Xiao Qi would ask them to improve and improve over and over again. In fact,
If it doesn't work, just smash it and let them come again.
In order to prevent Xiao Qi from ruining their hard work, these leaders naturally gave themselves ample time to slowly improve. To be continued.
