Don't give me black technology

Chapter 72 Smart Screen
"I'm new here, so I may not have a deep understanding of the situation in the factory. I have a question." Pan Yu said, "The effect of the factory is not good. Is there a problem with the product quality, or is it a marketing strategy or a problem with insufficient technical content of the product?"

Meng Jianzhang replied: "In terms of product quality, our factory has always maintained high quality and high pass rate, which is not a problem. Only marketing, we have always found agents to sell, and it has not changed for more than ten years."

"It's the technical content you mentioned. I think it's not far from the top of the industry. It's just that our products have not established a brand. With the overall market shrinking, we can't compete with the big manufacturers."

"Have you tried to change the sales model, such as online sales? Or build a brand image?" Pan Yu asked.

"I tried, but they didn't work." Meng Ze said, "So I gave up again."

"It may be a method problem." Pan Yu analyzed.

Everyone discussed from morning to afternoon, and continued after dinner.During the discussion, Meng Xiaobai and Pan Yu also learned about the factory's updated information, previous operating conditions and industry trends.

"The entire industry is shrinking. If we follow the previous path, it will definitely not work!" Meng Xiaobai concluded, "So we must create a new path while trying to retain the original technological advantages."

"I think the smart screen is worth trying."

Smart screen, a kind of smart home appliance, makes traditional TV or other screens more intelligent and humanized with the smart operating system of the Internet.

"Smart screen?" Hearing this word, Meng Jianzhang immediately shook his head and said, "This thing has been proposed a long time ago, but the market effect is not good, and consumers don't buy it."

"I think it's good!" Pan Yu had done his homework before coming.He said: "The traditional TV industry has fallen into the quagmire of price competition. Big manufacturers have spent decades building their own brand images. Competing with them is undoubtedly hitting an egg against a stone."

"The smart screen is a product of the Internet age, and it is a kind of smart home appliance. It combines the Internet with traditional TV, and is more in line with the lifestyle of modern people."

"The idea is good, but the actual situation is not optimistic." Xu Ping retorted, "Those big manufacturers have made smart screens, but the sales volume is not high. What smart screens can do is nothing more than connecting mobile phones to TVs, which is equivalent to a network TV, there is no competition."

"Xu Chang mentioned the key to the problem!" Meng Xiaobai said, "Why are smart screens, as a part of smart home appliances, not favored by consumers? I think it is because the smart screens on the market are just network TVs! Smart, completely out of line!"

"So?" Pan Yu looked at him and guessed what he was thinking.

"So we want to make a real smart screen!" Meng Xiaobai continued, "Siben Electronics Factory has the technology related to screen manufacturing, and there is no doubt about the software technology of Deep Space Technology. Combining our advantages, we can manufacture truly humanized and intelligent screens." Smart screens can break the current deadlock!"

"That's the reason. It's just that our factory can make better products than those big factories?" Meng Jianzhang was a little skeptical. The smart screens of those big factories can only be made into network TVs. How far can they go?
If the technical content of the product is still not high, it still has no market competitiveness.

"Let's let the product do the talking on this point!" Meng Xiaobai made a final decision, which was actually a decision he made after careful consideration.Using the existing production technology of Siben Electronics Factory to upgrade is the most suitable production method to open up the situation.

After the meeting, Siben Electronics Factory began to adjust its industrial direction.Original orders for traditional TV screens will no longer be manufactured.The whole factory has started to prepare for the production of smart screens.

In other respects, Meng Xiaobai doesn’t have to worry. Siben Electronics Factory has experience in making smart screens, although it is not very advanced.

There are three problems he needs to solve. The first is to improve the audition technology, that is, to improve the audio-visual effect of the screen. This is the basic function of the screen and must be paid attention to.

The second is the operating system. As a smart screen, if it still operates in the same way as a traditional TV, wouldn’t it be in vain?So he wants to design a relatively smart smart screen operating system.

The third is the sensing device. To make the screen smart, it must have a sensitive sensing system to respond to external sound, light and operator instructions in a timely manner, and best cooperate with the operating system.

In the villa Meng Xiaobai bought, the garage and warehouse have been converted into his small laboratory with various equipment and machine parts.

"The display screen made of this kind of solid material can only be seen in museums on Planet Cybertron." Looking at the design requirements, Tie Ban said, "Although the conditions are simple, I think there will be no problem making it."

"That's good!" Meng Xiaobai said, "The sensors and audio-visual equipment will be handed over to you, and I will work with Xiaowanzi on the operating system."

"Sir, make sure to complete the task!" The iron plate started working immediately.

And Meng Xiaobai also started his own work, designing a smart screen operating system.

The smart screen operating system is much simpler than the operating system of mobile phones and computers. Even the so-called smart screens on the market now have the same operating system functions as the remote control.

What Meng Xiaobai wants to do is to make its functions more diversified.Secondly, it must be able to distinguish commonly used voice commands, so that users feel as convenient and quick as operating a smartphone when operating.

For Meng Xiaobai who had no relevant experience, the difficulty was quite high. Fortunately, there was a teacher at the plug-in level, Xiao Maruko, and any problems could be solved on the same day.

……

Half a month later, in the experimental workshop of Siben Electronics Factory.

"Sensors, speakers, and modified display electronic components are all the latest technology." Meng Ze said, pointing to an experimental smart screen.

These "new technologies" are all provided by Deep Space Technology. Although the people in the factory don't know how Deep Space Technology obtained them, they found out after testing.Any technology is much better than their original.

The masters in the factory even think that with the current configuration, even if they don’t need to make smart screens, they can still make traditional TV displays, and they can have good sales.

But now, the smart screen is only missing the last "thing", that is - wisdom!
"If the hardware is its body, then the operating system is its soul!" Meng Xiaobai said, "Now, I will install the first-generation smart screen operating system that I personally presided over the research and development and design into it. Infuse it with soul."

In the test workshop, everyone waited expectantly and curiously, especially Meng Jianzhang and others. They had never paid attention to the smart screen operating system before. In their opinion, as long as a screen can meet the functions of the remote control, it is enough , what other smart operating system is needed?
　Thanks to Li Yongsheng for the reward.
