Chapter 427: Technology makes life smarter

It turns out that the flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, telephones, lights and other home appliances here are equipped with smart chips, and they have turned into smart home appliances. Through a wifi wireless communication method similar to military data links used in the house and the method of transmitting signals by ordinary wires, only a home computer is needed as the main server, these ordinary home appliances become information nodes in a small network. They rely on sensor terminals such as cameras spread all over the room to capture people's whereabouts, and automatically send signals, so that those home appliances can respond.

Moreover, this smart home network is directly connected to the Internet. These home appliances can not only accept internal network commands, but also have passwords and operating systems to direct these smart home appliances at home thousands of miles away. These home appliances can also log in to the Internet directly, just like a microcomputer to transmit information to all parts of the world.

This looks like the scene in science fiction novels is inspired by Bill Gates' future technological mansion. However, compared to the effect created by Bill Gates' billion-dollar luxury mansion, the cost of the "smart home" system that Yang Xing explained in detail next is much lower. The home appliances in the glass room are the main products of various companies under Nebula Electronics. The only difference is that they are equipped with intelligent control chips and wireless Internet devices, which operate in a coordinated and consistent manner under the command of the main control computer.

Among them, the intelligent control and networking chips provided by Xingmang Microelectronics have long been used in CNC machinery manufactured by Xingchen and newly launched wireless routers. Xingfei Home Appliances provide all home appliances, and Xingyao Optoelectronics' LCD panels and fiber optic products are not new. Nebula Digital and Stardust Communications provides the core home computers in this smart home system and all of these products are used in the "Star Wars" home system version upgraded from the "Star Wars" operating system on the S1 mobile phone last year. Because they use Nebula Electronics' own products and services and are upgraded to mature products, this smart home system is not expensive, and it also makes everyone notice that the biggest contributor to achieving all this - the "Star Wars" operating system.

Since the "Star Wars" operating system itself is written using the Linux operating system, and the linux system is the main operating program of many industrial control systems, Yang Xing's on-site demonstration represents that the "Star Wars" operating system has realized the simple interconnection between mobile phones, information home appliances and industrial CNC machinery installed under the continuous research and development of Nebula Electronics. Yang Xing performed on the spot how to use a mobile phone equipped with the "Star Wars" system to remotely control these home appliances. This also means that the "Star Wars" operating system not only connects Nebula Electronics' products through it, but even those intelligent CNC machinery manufactured by Xingchen can use this unified operating system to connect and command remotely. Many professional journalists have a thought in their minds. Isn't this a variant of Microsoft's failed "Venus system"?

In March 1999, Microsoft spent billions of dollars to promote the "Venus Project" globally, and to promote set-top boxes or vcd machines embedded with a simplified version of the Windows operating system (i.e. the "Venus" system), which is only about one-fifth of an ordinary personal computer, in order to promote developing countries (mainly China) to accelerate the entry of the exciting Internet world, and by the way, the Windows operating system has freed itself from the shackles of desktop computers, enter the broader field of smart home appliances, and occupy a larger market share.

Feeling the threat from Microsoft at that time, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also hurriedly launched a similar "Nuwa" operating system. However, reality proves that in the context of the vast majority of Chinese citizens not even knowing what the Internet is, and most areas in China still use dial-up Internet access to the Internet, the concept of selling to Chinese families that is a luxury home is destined to fail, and the Venus plan is soon lost.

However, the total price of the smart home appliance product based on the "Star Wars" operating system displayed by Nebula Electronics today is only 20%-50% higher than that of traditional high-end home appliances. And the method of relying on "wifi" and wire networking is very flexible, which can not only solve the problem of new residential home wiring, but also conveniently rejuvenate old houses. In contrast, although there are still difficulties in popularizing domestically, in developed Western countries, Nebula Electronics' smart home solutions with home computers as the core and using "Star Wars" system, which still has great market prospects.

Relying on the "smart home" solution demonstrated by Yang Xing himself, Nebula Electronics not only promoted the company's philosophy of "technology makes life smarter", but also fully demonstrated the company's overall manufacturing level. With the attraction of this gimmick, a series of cheap electronic products launched by Nebula Electronics during the World Congress attracted the attention of buyers around the world and won countless orders. For example, Nebula Digital's newly launched laptops with a unit price of only RMB 6,000, DVD phones with a unit price of less than RMB 2,000, a low-priced LCD TV with a back projection TV price of only RMB 32 inches and other home appliance companies, and Stardust Communication's first A-series mobile phone with a unit price of less than RMB 2,000, and many buyers have learned what China's price is. These products that are 50% lower than internationally renowned manufacturers were even snatched up in the venue. This situation made international home appliance companies, as a rival of Nebula Electronics, feel chilled!

Of course, the big killer in the price war is the "Spring Spring" mobile phone motherboard plan. At this conference, many electronic manufacturers in the southeast coastal coastal areas represented by Qin Haijun reached OEM agreements with Neon Cloud Electronics. Not only did they produce "Spring" motherboards, but they also used OEMs and other methods to obtain the ability to produce their own mobile phones from domestic companies that obtained mobile phone production licenses. With their market awareness, even many companies that used to produce VCD are eager to start producing mobile phones. Neon Cloud Electronics has become the leader of the "counterfeit mobile phones". It is estimated that by the latest two years, the good days of international mobile phone manufacturers in China will be over.

After occupying the domestic low-end mobile phone market with the A-series mobile phone and "Spring" mobile phone motherboard, Nebula Electronics will certainly not let go of the high-end mobile phone market, which is regarded as an important source of profit. With the launch of S1 smartphones last year, international mobile phone companies have discovered that this is a new profit point, so they launched their respective smartphone products this year. In 1998, Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola formed the Symbian company to develop the Symbian operating system of smartphones, but they were the first to be the rising stardust S1 mobile phone. Next year, many smartphones that use this system will be launched, becoming a huge threat to Stardust mobile phones.

In order to meet this challenge, Stardust Communication launched a new generation of S2 mobile phone "splendent" at the conference. "Glorious" uses the latest upgraded "Star Wars" version 1.5" operating system, and cooperates with Qualcomm and Arm to support 2.5-generation mobile network technologies such as GPRRS or CDMA One. It has faster Internet access, more convenient program response, and more sensitive touch. It has introduced color display technology on the 2.5-inch mobile screen for the first time. Although it is only a pseudo-STN color screen with 65,000 colors, this world's first color screen mobile phone still stuns the audience.

In addition, Stardust Communication also focuses on multimedia functions of mobile phones, and also launched the "player series" game mobile phone that focuses on gaming experience and the "musician" music mobile phone that focuses on music playback. This represents a new trend in the development of the mobile phone industry, adding new entertainment functions to mobile phones that originally only focus on calls, and is increasingly developing towards Yang Xing's direction of mobile Internet assistant mia (mobile intercom assistant).

As the first manufacturer to launch MPP digital music players, it is not surprising that digital music playback functions are integrated into mobile phones. Other mobile phone manufacturers are working hard to develop similar products, which is also expected to make Nebula Electronics the top spot. However, Stardust Communication also unveiled the m1 mobile phone and MPPⅳ music players on the same stage, and its similar appearance once again shocked everyone.

The new MMPS music player completely subverts the past button shape. The slender and simple body has more than a dozen beautiful colors. The LCD screen is very attractive with blue light. The content displayed has also expanded from the simple song title of the past to the singer's lyrics and other content. The circular dial below can be easily used, moving forward and backward, the previous song is extremely smooth, and the most important thing is that its memory reaches an amazing 5g capacity. Relying on Hitachi's latest micro hard drive and BYD's lithium battery, it listens to music.

The number and time have reached a record 2,000 songs and ten-hour length level, which has made other competitors in the digital music player market that have emerged with a large number of competitors besides the decline. At that time, Yang Xing was very surprised when he saw the appearance of this player, and lamented that it was never accidental success, and history is always surprisingly similar. I believe that the MMPS music player snatched Jobs's appearance and operation method of Apple ipod. It is estimated that only people know about MMPS, and ipod can only be replaced.

The most amazing thing is that the appearance of the "musician" 1 phone is exactly the same as that of mmp iv, except that the circular dial at the lower end has been changed to a numeric key, and the operation becomes similar to the old-fashioned dial phone. Just press a conversion button on the phone, it is exactly the same as the function of the mmp iv player. This novel operation method and the ability to directly download digital music make it possible that although it has only 128 megapixel capacity, it does not use downloading music as an expanded purpose except listening to music, and the price is comparable to the 2,000 US dollars of the S2 phone, it still attracts procurement inquiries from many mobile operators in Japan, the United States, Europe and other countries.
