After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 107 Functional Demonstration of a New Concept

Hao Chengjiu said this, but from the perspective of the process, a lot of work has been done.

Many devices now have voice control, but obviously, Hao Cheng was not calling the projector, but Xiaosha, and it was Xiaosha who was doing the work.

He Gang is already thinking about the logic behind this.

The first thing he thought of was that the devices on the market now, such as water dispensers, have voice control functions and can be operated through various commands.

For example, "Xiaoyang Xiaoyang, turn on the machine." "Heat to 85%." "Fill with 350ml of water." "Standby."

Etc., etc.

However, doing this requires four instructions.

If you find it troublesome, you can teach Xiaosha, and then next time you just need to call Xiaosha: "Xiaosha, I need to make a cup of green tea."

Then, Xiaosha began to call Xiaoyang: "Xiaoyang, Xiaoyang..."

This is the normal logic.

But, in this reception room, Xiaosha didn't say a word.

And while He Gang was thinking, the projector had already been turned on, and the mobile phone had been projected onto the projector.

What's more, what shocked He Gang even more was what happened below.

"Let's start now and look at this projector." Hao Cheng spoke, and as he finished speaking, the curtains in the reception room were automatically drawn, and the spotlights were turned on, and in dim mode.

This was a big move right from the start. Not only He Gang, but Shen Wei also understood it at this time - Hao Cheng was showing something completely new.

"Could it be about home control?" Shen Wei also had some guesses, but he didn't know what this thing had to do with him. Vivo is currently mainly engaged in terminals, and even tablets are not selling well, let alone home appliances.

However, Hao Cheng did not stop and the demonstration continued.

"Let's play a movie, The Unknown 2." Shen Wei looked at the projector and wondered what Hao Cheng was up to, why he even played a movie.

However, what is strange is that Xiaosha did not choose a video playback software, such as Tencent Video, Huawei Video, etc., but started playing directly.

He Gang and Shen Wei discovered the first point: this is different from Xiaosha's current "imitating people" to operate the screen, open the APP, and then perform related operations. It directly skips all the previous steps and goes directly to the last step.

At this moment, a message notification popped up - it was the approval flow notification of the company's internal APP.

Because the screen was being projected, the message was hidden, but because it was an urgent notification, the video playback automatically switched to the upper half of the MateX6, and the lower half reminded the processing time limit.

"Xiaosha, show it." Hao Cheng called.

The video player paused for a moment and switched to left-right split-screen mode. The approval content should have been displayed on the phone in front of Hao Cheng, but not on the projector.

The approval process was proposed by Cao Song, and the content was [The system-level application base project has been developed and applied for Beta testing. ]

Hao Cheng even picked up his phone to show it to He Gang and Shen Wei, and then said, "Agreed, let Cao Song come over."

"System-level application base?" He Gang understood clearly, but Shen Wei was half-understood and half-confused. Today's demonstration should be a part of it, but he had no idea what exactly it was.

After the approval was completed, the movie on the screen continued to play and the split screen was restored.

Three minutes later.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Enter!"

The movie continued to pause, and it was obviously Cao Song who opened the door. At this time, Hao Cheng raised his mobile phone again and showed He Gang and Shen Wei the content that Xiaosha had filled in the note information of "Agree" in the approval process just now: [Agree, please go to the reception room immediately after seeing the message. ]

Not only that, Xiaosha also considerately posted the approval time in the remarks box, and marked it in red: 12:12 p.m. on December 3.

This is actually in the time flow. Xiaosha put it here just to make it more eye-catching. The boss asked you to go there now. The current time is 3:00. If you see the message at o'clock, you have to ask yourself.

Shen Wei was still recalling the series of scenes just now, as well as what Hao Cheng said during the approval process. It seemed that what he just said was "Let Cao Song come over."

The rest of the work was done by Xiaosha, who understood where this was, what to do, and when. "Yeah!" He nodded silently in his heart. If it was another AI assistant, he might be surprised, but this was Xiaosha. With Xiaosha's ability to understand, it was not difficult for him to do these things.

However, the next moment, he didn't think so, because Cao Song came in and took out his mobile phone and showed them something, which was the corporate WeChat message record sent to him by Hao Cheng:
[Mr. Hao is in the reception room now, demonstrating the functions to partners. Please come over now. (Sent by Xiaosha)]

“This is in series!”

Many companies are talking about ecology and interconnection. This is the real interconnection!
Shen Wei had no doubt that if Xiaosha had a human body, she could be used directly as a secretary.

However, he was still a little confused. This function was powerful, even impeccable, but what did it have to do with him?

He was confused, but He Gang understood it completely. This time, Hao Cheng was not demonstrating smart home or smart control, but demonstrating how Xiaosha used the APP.

It’s not that he is much smarter than Shen Wei, but that he already knew the model and direction of AI and humans using APP together.

Hao Cheng began his introduction: "Just now, I was demonstrating to you how Xiaosha, as an AI, uses an APP.

"For example, right now," Hao Cheng pointed his phone screen at He Gang and Shen Wei: "Xiao Sha, turn off the projector, open the curtains, and turn off the lights."

There was no movement on the screen, but all the instructions were being executed.

Hao Cheng said: "This is Xiaosha using the app. On the surface, you can't see anything, but if you monitor the background, you will find that he is sending parameter instructions to these three 'services'."

As he said this, Hao Cheng slid his phone onto a desktop with three icons on it, one for the projector, one for curtains, and one for lighting control.

"And if people want to operate it, how do they use it?" Hao Cheng clicked on the curtain icon, and the bionic icon changed from on to off, and the color changed from light gray to dark gray, but during the whole process, it was still an icon, and it did not expand, nor did it open any interface.

“What if there are multiple curtains?”

Hao Chengzhang pressed it, and a pop-up window appeared, with curtains for the reception room, office, etc., and behind each was an icon of a switch button: "Or we can do this, we can just make three icons and put them directly on the desktop.

"But what if there are a lot of these things?" Hao Cheng swiped the screen to another page, which was full of icons, including curtains, lights, small appliances, etc., and then said: "Xiaosha, classify these home control icons, combine them according to categories, and make an 'application'."

As soon as Hao Cheng finished speaking, icons flew around and were put into a box with "APP" written on it. There was even a simulated animation of the box closing, and finally it turned into an application - called "Home Control"!
Hao Cheng opened the app and, as expected, the menu was organized by category: lights, curtains, water dispensers, air conditioners, kitchen appliances and other categories. Clicking on them would turn on or off each appliance.

This interface is actually not uncommon. It looks no different from Mi Home, Smart Life, etc. The key is the process of its creation, which opened Shen Wei's eyes.

Not only that, this menu is presented by category, but it can also be changed to be presented by scene, by space, etc.

The more crucial point is another one: this is for people to use.

In other words, all of these functions will provide access channels for AI-specific applications.

There is no need for AI to operate the screen like humans to control these things.

Both of them have just seen how powerful Xiaosha is when combined with these functions.

"Just now, what do you mean by control?" Shen Wei finally couldn't help asking: "Also, how did Xiaosha implement the intranet notification and video playback just now?"

"This is the embodiment of functional elementization, and it is also what our system-level application base should do."

Hao Cheng officially began today's introduction: "It's not just these control-related ones, any other applications and services are the same, all functions are modularized and elementalized, for example, this is a meta-service of a takeaway shop, we click in and can order food.

"Earlier, each store had its own meta-service, which was inconvenient for us to browse. But now, we can do this: Xiaosha Xiaosha, put all the takeaway meta-services into an "APP" and name it "Food."

The same process, this time, a "food" APP appeared on the phone, click on it, and there will be a list of various small shops.

"Or, we can add some more content," Hao Cheng said, "add group buying stores, taxi-hailing stores, and online shopping stores to the 'Food' app, and set up four navigations for each."

After some operations, an extremely free and personalized APP was born.

"If you want, you can even integrate Alipay's QR code payment function into this 'food' and add a scan button to it." Hao Cheng smiled and said: "Alipay has already developed this meta-service."

“For example, some people have nothing to do at home every day except eating and playing, ordering takeout and watching TV series. So it can also put these two things, videos and takeout ordering, into one APP.

"You can play however you want and configure however you want." Hao Cheng said: "Extreme openness and freedom, this is the next stage, the new system-level application plug-in provided by Xiaosha."
