Until Zhuang Ronghua left the company and got on the plane south to Yangcheng with Guo Chun, he didn't understand how the young boss solved the acoustic problem of noise background. From his professional perspective, there is almost no solution to this problem. A pickup head with high sensitivity will pick up more noise of all kinds. A low sensitivity pickup head will not work on general noise and can filter out most background sounds, but it will inevitably require the user to be close to the microphone when speaking. .
Distance and effect are completely a paradox in acoustics. You can¡¯t have your cake and eat it too.
Could it be that he is planning to build a special filter inside the microphone to filter out the noise? However, with the current technology, it is not impossible for a microphone to distinguish the user's voice from other sounds among several different sounds, but to do so requires large-scale specialized acoustic analysis equipment, which is simply not possible. It cannot fit into a small space like a matchbox.
So, how did Li Jingran do it? Do you really have that skill, or is it just a bluff?
Zhuang Ronghua is puzzled by this!
In Li Jingran¡¯s eyes, the almost unsolvable paradox in Zhuang Ronghua¡¯s eyes was simply a small case and did not become a problem that bothered him at all. When it comes to acoustic instruments and their principles, Li Jingran, who has been playing with monitors for several months, is no longer a layman, but can be said to be a semi-amateur-level "expert". Of course he understands that as the sensitivity of the microphone pickup head increases, various interferences will naturally appear. For example, when the user is speaking into the microphone, if someone is speaking next to him, Sophon Voice will recognize the words of the person next to him and display them at the same time. As a user, he definitely doesn't want this.
So, how did Li Jingran make an ordinary microphone distinguish the user's voice from various different human voices?
It¡¯s very simple, let the voice control platform tell the difference!
When each user uses a microphone for voice input, the "C-level intelligent voice control platform" located at Tomoko Hi-Tech's headquarters and the "D-level intelligent voice control platform" at three branches will record the user's voiceprint characteristics. When the user uses Sophon Voice again in the future, if necessary, the voice control platform will display only the user's voice based on memory, while deliberately ignoring various other surrounding noises.
However, in this case, if other pirates discover the "secret" of the Sophon microphone and imitate the Sophon microphone to improve the sensitivity of the sound pickup probe, does that not mean that the unique secret of the Sophon microphone can be broken at any time? And once Tomoko microphones become popular, the army of copycats will immediately follow suit. What will happen then?
To prevent this, Li Jingran will install a microchip in the Sophon microphone. There is an identification code in the microchip. When the user installs it for the first time, the intelligent core of the voice control center will intelligently recognize the identification code. Only those that pass the intelligent recognition will be recognized as "genuine" by the voice control center. Then it is bound to the user's voice. In the future, only the voice made by the user will be noticed by the voice center and other sounds will be automatically ignored.
The chip in each Sophon microphone will give the user three binding places, and the binding places can be changed freely, just like the seat memory function of some luxury cars. Once bound, the Sophon microphone will only accept the voices of these three binders, and other voices will have no effect when speaking into the Sophon microphone.
And this powerful function of "binding" and "recognizing the owner" also means that Sophon microphone can prevent theft. Because even if someone steals or picks up someone else's microphone, because he didn't bind it himself, he can't use it after getting it and becomes a waste!
The elegant appearance, high-end materials, ultra-long-distance pickup range, and unique binding, owner recognition, and anti-theft functions will put Tomoko voice-specific microphones at an insurmountable distance from traditional old microphones, making it unique. Lead the way! Therefore, the first physical product launched by Tomoko Hi-Tech will become a real high-tech product with its inimitable "special functions"!
And precisely because some functions of Sophon Voice cannot be imitated, Li Jingran does not plan to apply for a patent at the patent office.
Want to copy Tomoko¡¯s voice appearance? OK, copy it as you like!
Want to copy Tomoko¡¯s voice materials and parts? Feel free to copy it too!
But for those functions that require intelligent recognition to bind and identify the owner, those small workshops and black factories will never be able to copy them! Even if the appearance, material and even parts are exactly the same as the Sophon microphone, if there is not the microchip inside, or even the microchip, but without the special encrypted identification code inside, the Sophon microphone will be different from those fake ones.Goods are completely two concepts, and users will feel happy and sad when using them.
In order to make those OEMs "rush" and reduce the lowest cost to win Li Jingran's "sky-high price" order, Li Jingran increased the purchase volume of the first batch of orders from the initial 5 million to 10 million yuan. For an order of RMB 10 million, if it is for other products, such as large products such as automobiles, or more complex products, such as mobile phones, the foundries may not ** you.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For a microphone that is cheap and only costs a few dozen yuan, and a mid-range one is only two or three hundred yuan, or three or four hundred yuan, 10 million is definitely a super order! Especially in the past two years, with the successive economic crises in Europe and the United States, the unemployment rate has increased, and purchasing power has declined. As super wage earners in Europe and the United States, the lives of the Chinese people have not been so easy. Many export-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises along the coast have laid off employees or even closed down in droves. An order of 10 million yuan can basically be regarded as a life-saving straw for those small and medium-sized enterprises that are about to survive.
Therefore, every time Guo Chun and Zhuang Ronghua go to a manufacturer, the sales managers of the microphones, and even the CEOs of the manufacturers, all treat them as distinguished guests and guests, and use all their means to eat and drink, be with beautiful women, and wash their feet. Massage, nightclub KTV, they are taking turns, hoping to win the favor of Guo Chun, the chief purchasing representative sent by Zhizi High-tech, and finally get a big order.
There must be a lot of tricks in this kind of procurement. Therefore, before Guo Chun and Zhuang Ronghua set off, Li Jingran told them that it was OK to eat, drink, or even have sex with girls. Once they accepted bribes, they would have to deal with those OEMs. If there is a financial transaction and he finds out about it, then hey, hey, think carefully about whether you can bear it!
Li Jingran's "hehe" smile only made Guo Chun feel creepy. He thought of the rumor circulated privately among company employees that Mr. Li had a deep background in the city and even the province, so he became a minister. Within a few days, how could Guo Chun, who had a bright future, dare to take risks? Not to mention illegal activities such as accepting bribes, it was just a general invitation to eat and drink. At first, he was too polite to thank her, let alone asking for sex with a young lady. Finally, under the instigation of Zhuang Ronghua, he had a choice. Accepted some invitations to eat and drink.
While Guo Chun was in full swing looking for a microphone foundry, publicity and campaigning also started in advance.
On the website of Tomoko High-tech, you can find the product announcements of the first-generation Sophon dedicated microphone that Sophon High-tech is preparing to launch, as well as the pop-up advertisements that the voice control platform pops up from time to time to all users of Sophon Voice, a kind of QQ that occasionally pops up The information window that pops up is similar.
And the online publicity in charge of Wang Junfeng of the sales company has also begun to build momentum for Tomoko Hi-Tech's first physical product. For a time, various news about Tomoko's dedicated microphone suddenly appeared on the Internet and became very popular.
Some people have revealed that this is a sincere work that Tomoko Hi-tech has been honing for three years. It is absolutely shocking!
Some people say that the performance of the Tomoko Voice-specific microphone released by Tomoko Hi-Tech is extremely superior, far exceeding that of ordinary microphones, and it will definitely give Tomoko Voice users a shocking experience.
Some people claim to be the only ones to reveal that they have obtained photos of engineering samples of Tomoko's special microphone through secret channels - a product that is very different from ordinary microphones in appearance, very small, delicate, and very cute.
Others predict some unique functions of Tomoko's dedicated microphone. One of the biggest features is that it can send words over a long distance, allowing the user's mouth and microphone to be separated from each other instead of being closely together.
Naturally, these scaly claws and catchy news were revealed under Li Jingran¡¯s instructions. The purpose was to warm up the new product and stir up the topic before its official release.
In order to prevent secrets from being leaked before the product was released, Li Jingran issued a gag order to all employees of Tomoko Hi-Tech. No information about the company's first physical product should be disclosed to the outside world without the company's consent!
Less than half a year after its emergence, a super dark horse in the voice input industry, engaged in Internet, suddenly announced that it will enter the industry, and will release new products soon. For many people in the industry, it is simply a shocking news. News. No matter how great Baidu and Tencent are, I have never heard of them going into industry. They should just build their own Internet!
??Nima, you are a voice input person. If you don¡¯t work hard on your voice input method, but you don¡¯t do your job properly, why should you engage in industry? In China, industry is so easy to do? Is it because your self-confidence is too inflated and your head is caught in the door, and you don¡¯t know what is going on?
Therefore, for this latecomer and super dark horse, which has made several predecessors in voice input, such as iFlytek Voice, Tencent Voice, Sohu Voice and Baidu Voice, lose their share in the voice input market. These Internet giantsThey all watched with cold eyes, as if they were waiting to see how long this dark horse could stay dark, whether it would be dark to the end, or whether it would be overly excited and turn from a dark horse into a dead horse.
