Extraordinary Genius

The next day, Jiang Wanbing, Xu Lihua and others came together to bring their new R&D product, which they named Super MP3.

To put it bluntly, it is the MP3 that can play the video. In previous life, domestic control of this kind of product was called MP4.

“President Feng, we have successfully developed this product. Such a small item can be used to watch videos in the future.” Jiang Wanfeng said with some excitement.

“Oh? Is it only possible to play fixed format?” Feng Yu asked.

“Uh ~ ~ Yes, only one video format is currently supported. However, we come with a video format conversion software that can convert video files from other formats to MPEG-4 video formats. ”

Feng Yu shook his head: “What about the speed of conversion? Slow, isn't it? I have time to convert, why not just watch it on my computer? But that's not bad. It's a technical breakthrough. Next, you have to figure out a way to make compatible formats. ”

If converting a video format takes ten minutes, or even tens of minutes, it's too slow. And considering the size of the screen, it's too big to be true.

So Feng Yu says that this kind of product can only be a super MP3, purely transitional product.

Because when this technology is fully mature, it can be applied to your phone. How many people would buy a Super MP3 for this feature?

“We can also read pictures and ebooks with this product. ”

“Well, that's good. ”

Anyway, the main feature of this product is to play MP3 to listen to music. Although you can watch videos, pictures, ebooks, but the screen is so small, it looks tired, so listening is the main thing.

“But don't be discouraged. Don't forget we have a website. We can provide free downloads of video clips in MP4 format on our website so they don't have to convert formats. In other words, convert the format, and let's do it. ”

Xu Lihua immediately said, "No problem, we are already doing this. Through Fox Channel, they have many copyrights to short films, and many are spontaneously uploaded by Internet users, and this agreement states that others are allowed to download them freely. So we have both paid video clips and free ones that should meet the needs of most users. ”

“What about e-book copyright? Have you thought about it? ”

“We have also contacted the Origin Chinese Language Network, which will provide a version of the download that is suitable for our format. Some of them are fee-based and free, and are also contacting other novel sites. ”

“As for pictures, this is quite simple, we support mainstream formats that do not need to be converted. ”

Feng Yu looked at this super MP3, the appearance retained the usual excellent design, not many buttons, but it was all quite practical. It's easy to operate and can be done with one hand.

The screen is 2.8 inches, which is already very large, plus the keys to make this product look very large. But it's still easy to grasp with one hand, so there's nothing wrong with that.

The buttons are very flexible, Feng Yu asked, after testing, normal use for three years should be fine, even if it is an ebook reader who frequently turns pages.

This product still doesn't have an audio and can only be used with headphones.

Feng Yu played a video and brought his own headphones. Well, the sound quality is good, take off the headphones, put them to maximum, and you won't hear any murmurs.

The picture quality is also relatively clear, and Feng Yu is quite satisfied with the screen resolution.

However, Feng Yu found a few minor problems. He took off his headset and threw the Super MP3 on the table with a bang.

Xu Lihua and Kang Wan Feng were both frightened. What's wrong, Mr. Feng? Are you not satisfied? Never seen Chief Feng fall anything.

“President Feng, is there a problem with this product?” Xu Lihua asked cautiously.

Feng Yu: "Ah? I was just trying to see if this product was shatter-resistant. ”

Xu Lihua "…”

Jiang Wanmao “...”

Can you tell us before you try, what did you think was wrong? This guy scared the shit out of us.

“It's okay, it doesn't look damaged. But there are some other questions about this product, and I'm going to ask you to see if you can improve it. ”

Xu Lihua and Jiang Wan sat up straight at once, as if elementary school students were facing teachers and listening to teachings.

“First of all, this product, like the traditional MP3, has no voice. I know, with such a big little thing, and a vowel, the sound quality won't be good. But if you think about it, how much function does the phone have, and why doesn't it have a voice? Especially now that you can play the video, sometimes a lot of people will watch it together. ”

“Secondly, you only support videos in MPEG-4 format, which doesn't work, and it's important to work systematically so that they can play videos in multiple formats, which are compatible. ”

The most annoying thing about watching a video is that it suddenly tells you that this video format is not supported!

“And since you've done so much, you've enlarged the screen and increased the battery power, right? Let me ask you something. What if you've read all this and you've heard all the songs? ”

“Change it ~ ~” Xu Lihua looked at Feng Yu in surprise. Is there anything I don't understand?

“Haven't you ever thought about combining this product with other products to create micro-innovations? ”

It's also a micro-innovation, but what product should it be combined with, CD? Or do you want the tape to go with you?

“Let me give you two examples, like this one, if you can combine it with a pen, it's a super MP3 that you can record. If you can combine it with a radio, you won't be afraid to admire anything new wherever there's a signal. ”

“Phones can have photos, so why not this super MP3? Why can't you take your own photos? Otherwise, how many people will keep their photos in the MP3? ”

“Also, since the screen is so big, why not try to make a touch screen? Mobile phones can touch the screen, laptops can touch the screen, even those electronic dictionaries, learning machines and everything, why can't this MP3 have a touch screen? ”

“If it turns into a touch screen, the keys can be simplified and the same size of the fuselage makes the screen bigger. Now that the video is available, the natural screen is bigger and clearer to see. And I looked at this image, the font size of the ebook, and so on, all in three sizes. Remember the image we touched on the phone? Is it more convenient and more advanced to zoom in and out with just two fingers? ”

After hearing so much from Feng Yu, Jiang Wan and Xu Lihua were both somewhat frustrated. They thought there was so much that could be improved.

“By the way, Laosh, you say digital cameras are ripe for video clips? ”
