Shulou(Shulou.com)06/02 Report--

Artist Jonathan Crary once described modernity as--

Whether we work in front of a flickering computer screen, no matter how we accomplish a creative task, or passively engage in daily activities, it requires the effective elimination or exclusion of a large number of things from the current environment from our consciousness.

In other words, the ability to "pay attention" has shaped modern people, and the rapid frequency of updates in the mobile network era is also deconstructing modern people.

There are so many things on the Internet that can attract our senses, and as a result, our attention becomes more and more distracted, even in situations that require attention, such as work, study, reading, and thinking.

Perhaps so many people have this problem that big companies such as Google and Apple have even launched a "digital happiness experiment" to help people put down their phones.

I am afraid that the ripping between technology and efficiency will become a new challenge for us to "rebuild" our attention for some time. Therefore, behind the youth version of iFLYTEK's recently released Mi Guxun Fei smart laptop is not the debut of a single technology hardware, but also shows a perceptual call back to the mind of a greatly inspired journey.

The suspension of perception: the technological cause and effect of attention crisis

First of all, we might as well think about a question: can you sit in front of your computer for an hour today without answering Wechat, browsing Weibo, watching videos, or touching fish? I can't.

This can be said to be a common challenge for mobile offices:

First of all, heavy office products such as laptops have been replaced by more portable mobile phones. Take myself as an example, it is not convenient to carry a computer when I go out, so I will choose to use a wide-screen mobile phone to code words. The downside is that thinking is always quietly interrupted by reminders, follow the blogger updated, hot news online relax, just received 9999 coupons come and have a look! The result is the loss of efficiency in the pursuit of efficiency.

From a certain point of view, in addition to being able to avoid real-time interference from smartphones at work, products such as laptops are almost born with "formal" attributes and still have an advantage in scenes that need to be focused. it is more suitable for most formal meetings, classrooms and other occasions. Both students and work parties have to rely on it to make a living. After all, playing with mobile phones and taking notes are two very different states in the social context.

Therefore, taking into account both portable and professional, on the basis of retaining the original form, to find the efficiency upgrade of mobile office and the new way of hardware has become a new battlefield for technology manufacturers.

With the youth version of the smart laptop, we can see a more possible mobile office / learning scene.

On the one hand, the AI functions such as speech recognition and real-time transcription further enhance the application value of the tablet; at the same time, the laptop hardware shape also allows the attention to be pulled back to the three-dimensional physical world.

Writing and Reading: a New starting Point depicted by iFLYTEK Smart Youth Edition

As soon as the youth version of iFLYTEK, a smart book, was published, it attracted my attention. The reason is also very simple, progressive (poor) youth, such as me, naturally can not always be obsessed with the Huahua online world, and work hard to make a living in order to reach the pinnacle of life.

Is an intelligent product that focuses on reading and thinking really necessary?

If it is a traditional e-book reading, I don't think so. After all, my concubine's kindle noodles are tired of being covered. But it is worth noting that iFLYTEK has changed the experience point of the electronic laptop with two combined punches:

One is AI empowering.

Recording is an ability that needs to be used in office, learning, business, creative and other scenes. The traditional computer mouse + keyboard is obviously not enough to meet the requirements of flexible writing anytime, anywhere; the touch granularity of the mobile phone screen also makes some fine operations difficult to achieve, and many App have a variety of product restrictions.

IFLYTEK's solution is to introduce artificial intelligence to comprehensively change the recording experience.

On the one hand, iFLYTEK, as a benchmark enterprise of artificial intelligence and intelligent voice, has decades of precipitation in speech transcription, machine translation, noise reduction algorithms and so on. This also makes some common problems in speech transcription, such as recognition accuracy, confusion between Chinese and English, recognition of punctuation, etc., no longer become obstacles, and the accuracy of transcription can reach 95% within an effective distance. it also allows intelligent voice to truly land on iFLYTEK smart notebook youth version.

Through the way of voice-to-text, students can easily record the complete content of each subject class, and office workers do not have to worry about omissions in meetings, which can effectively reduce the time spent sorting out minutes. When a class or a meeting comes down, all the speeches are textualized, and when consulted afterwards, the relevant keywords are spoken directly through voice, which further improves the work efficiency.

For creators like me, it is also much faster to use voice input to capture those moments of inspiration than handwritten input. Generate articles directly, saving the pain of contemplation. It is worth mentioning that iFLYTEK voice transfer is provided free of charge on this product, and it feels a bit against the advertising law to round off the money saved.

In addition to voice, Mi Guxun Fei Smart Notebook Youth Edition, which is equipped with an eight-core MTK8768 chip processor, directly calls the iFLYTEK cloud AI server cluster, which also makes smart books more possible.

For example, allowing artificial intelligence to score CET-4 and CET-6 real questions can directly enhance the test preparation experience, do not have to worry about the lack of self-control, truly restore the sense of the examination room, and truly understand the learning progress and weaknesses.

It can be said that technology tears people's attention apart and refocuses it in another way. In this mutual pull, new products, new ideas and new methods are always iterated. There is reason to believe that the next "AI+ Voice + Portable screen" will make people reimagine mobile office and learning scenarios, and allow AI technology to truly land on more battlefields.

The return of E-ink products: the Visual War of iFLYTEK

Some students may ask, "intelligence" we understand, is the fermentation and transformation of iFLYTEK AI technology, what about the "notebook"?

Accustomed to colorful smartphones, why do you need a notebook with an E-ink ink screen?

This is about to mention the second combination of iFLYTEK: product empowerment.

It is not difficult to open up AI capabilities to traditional laptops. But for an accurate "attention prescription" for mobile office / learning scenarios, E-ink ink screen products are a more subtle choice.

Because traditional laptops can handle the task of digital input, but it is a bit reluctant to deal with non-limited creative tasks.

For example, when the mouse does not conform to the habit of handwriting, it is easy to operate improperly and daub repeatedly. For designers and creative enthusiasts, they often need an external digital drawing board. But do you also need a whole set of "computer + digital board" when you go out? More close to the traditional paper, with its own writing pen, Mi Gu Xun Fei smart version of the youth will naturally be on the top.

With the help of the EMR electromagnet specially made by Wacom in Japan, drawing freely on the screen anytime and anywhere is undoubtedly the most free way to carry creativity without the shackles of time, space and physics.

In addition, learning office scenes often involves large-scale papers, literature reading, pdf and other e-books, whether reading for a long time or handwritten notes, using traditional computers and smartphones will face the problem of visual fatigue and inconvenient interaction.

IFLYTEK smart version of the youth version of the e-book directly imported, can match the most appropriate interface, the physical page key designed for reading is also very sweet. Equipped with the industry's latest display technology T1000, the speed of reading refresh and handwriting display is also very comfortable, and the writing delay is only about 30 milliseconds, achieving the experience of "almost no delay" and "writing like real paper".

In addition, the design of the ink screen can achieve the effect of focus without harming the eyes, which is the core reason why the category of E-ink has not withdrawn from the stage of technology products.

Coupled with iFLYTEK's "strict selection of Books" program, young users can browse a number of genuine Nobel laureate books that young people must read for free, and firmly occupy the reading artifacts of the smart age.

Through the above two sets of combination fists, we see that iFLYTEK in the technical barriers and product ideas superimposed, so that the notebook has a new possibility. With a price of about 3000 yuan, I am afraid many people will be "really fragrant".

From paper books to computer screens, this class of students have experienced a digital stationery revolution; from traditional notebooks to Miguxunfei's youth edition, seeking a balance between scientific and technological iteration and ergonomics, so that freedom and high efficiency are no longer paradoxes and may be indispensable stationery indicators for progressive youth in the new era.

For industry watchers, what does the new spark mean for the iteration of this category?

"rebuilding" itself in shock: the only way for Scientific and technological products

In the suspension of perception, Jonathan Clary argues that attention is a fundamental condition for individual freedom, creativity and experience; at the same time, it is a central factor in the effectiveness of the economic and regulatory system. And the profound change of continuous lack of attention has a far-reaching impact on the whole society.

Internet technology companies are undoubtedly one of the contributors to this attention crisis. However, whether to continue to grab the attention dividend to harvest the market, or through reflection and reconstruction to find order, depends on choice, but also strength.

There is no doubt that iFLYTEK handed in an excellent answer.

On the one hand, based on its global leading strength in the field of speech recognition, NLP and machine translation, it transports AI to scenes that require deep thinking and focus, such as learning and office, so that technology can be deeply involved in daily production and life.

Telling advanced stories of science and technology with the power of technology and products also confirms iFLYTEK's mission to build a better world with artificial intelligence. In this world, there is not only the explosion of intelligent technology, but also the release of human spirituality and the prosperity of human-computer cooperation.

The iteration of consumer hardware is not only the emergence of a specific product, but also the attitude and choice of technology enterprises in the future.
