Materialistic than a Bluetooth headset so that people no longer need to take

Reply with his mobile phone app on the street, there are quite a few users should feel that this is a very troublesome thing, frequently took out a mobile phone out of the Pocket is not pleasant sensations. Intelligent watch lighten this burden, but as the main information channel eyes will still be distracted. There can liberate the eyes to talk app hardware such as Bluetooth headsets?

Jabra Boost micro-letter version is from Jabra Boost Shang grew out and out of, on like name Shang wrote of as, both maximum of difference is micro-letter version can support voice transceiver message, this paragraph Bluetooth headphones from Yu Copenhagen of famous headphones manufacturers Jabra, but its in micro-letter support aspects select has and domestic of do "hardware middle-tier" of team wit cloud for cooperation, but its interface and in micro-handy in, so actually this is a three party cooperation of birth products.

For such a product is born of the tripartite cooperation, wit and cloud product manager Wang Qiaoyi said. "Jabra does this product have done for over a year, but did not succeed in doing, introduced in later app us because we and the letter is key partner relationships help app has created many successful products. Jabra also trust our technical capabilities, let us fully responsible for this product. 」

 Key loss they gave up 51 holidays

Jabra Boost micro-letter version of the Bluetooth headset in use and other products are not the same, because the connection to the app so it has to carry a certain amount of interactivity, this is not a clap thighs you will finish the job. Jabra Boost on a total of three alternating movements, Jabra logo was actually down there the whole key. Connect Jabra developed for its Social Connect wit cloud services, micro-letter to Bluetooth headsets to listen to and respond to news. Jabra Boost on a total of three interactions, click listen to not read the micro-messaging, text to speech, press and recording back to the current buddy, double-click switched friends. Unfortunately group chat feature is not supported. Moschino Note 4 Cases

"The first edition came out on the user's experience is not very good, so we will have to improve fundamentally the product design. "Wang Qiaoyi admitted that they had encountered a number of problems. "Bluetooth audio technology, we used a variety of schemes are compared. Speech synthesis technology is also in contrast to more third-party voice service, finally uses the Stratovarius TTS engine technology, which converts text to speech playback on the results were pretty good. Synthesizing sounds clear and loud. Only downside is English playback also need to be enhanced. 」

"A bit more difficult is the Jabra button missing issues. Because this issue involves a combination of hardware and software, and Jabra Service Technician we need joint can be finalized. "The question Wang Qiaoyi and her team spent more than a month to resolve, if the problem is not solved, then the user experience will be greatly diminished.

"The key is missing, the server sometimes fails to respond, it can cause long time delay press the start recording, even when you receive a new message, click on the button, headphone playback no sound, and so on. Difficult is Jabra has been said was not their Service issues, our technicians to troubleshoot for two months, grabbing countless evidence, finally Jabra sent technicians to travel to Guangzhou to the FBI. In order to find out the cause of the problem, our project group 513 days are working overtime. 」

Distance and culture so that communication is not easy

A need for collaboration is not the finished product can be done behind closed doors, in particular Jabra Boost also need to call the app interface, but some products you need to collaborate, which is a problem on the efficiency of communication and collaboration.

"Of course, tripartite cooperation on communication also need to cooperate, but sometimes the app and Jabra no quick feedback, especially technicians need to call the app-related interfaces. Jabra there Service at appeared problem more, so we test personnel followed up this problem and assist Jabra joint adjustable also spent has a time, also has and foreign friends language shang of communication, on both sides of development personnel talk about technology problem also is has must difficult of "Wang Qiaoyi on from Copenhagen of Jabra also has little of complaints, wit cloud is from Guangzhou of team, both apart not said East soil Datang like West so far, is also close half Earth of distance has. Different cultures and regions so that communication is not so easy.

Why don't you support iOS? Moschino Note 4 Cases

Jabra Boost currently only support Android, in fact many intelligent hardware adapter is on Android over iOS to complete, or even only support Android, iOS is still one of the most popular mobile phone operating system, which means that a large number of potential users. "IOS version already in the waiting period need app support promoting this version soon to be realized. Since iOS version, the app provides the interface, we need to call, but the app staff or is currently being planned. Prior to the involvement of our company before, Jabra and micro-1 have also been cooperative, but for various reasons, did not come up with a version that can be used on the market. "Wang Qiaoyi returned to this app, it makes them is not what is the best way for the time being.

Unfortunately does not support "Smiler"

Group chat is the important function of the app, except "alone together than the Lele", the app also has become an important communication tool, but what few people group to discuss in full swing. But now Jabra does not support group chat functionality. Wang Qiaoyi before considering to do group chats however because app currently does not provide this interface only in the next version, the good news is that you only need to upgrade the App can achieve in the future, the bad news is, maybe app does not intend to open this interface.

Summary

Jabra does try something more this year, exercise launched hot sport headphones, social demand on the launch of Micro-Edition headphones and active hardware team wit really clouds the team more opportunities. "Middle-tier" wit clouds have gradually come up with all sorts of products, they are like adhesives, hardware and data team stuck together.

Dialogue with the creator, find product highlights-"materialist" is a network of Lei feng to create brand products reported (General number: okweiwu). We care about a product is, where it came from, where you want to go. Wishes to do the same in the hardware industry, read the "materialistic" articles can be of inspiration.

Thunder Dingo live Liu Zhi Internet of things when the concept burst is it really

This month's "Thunder", we have dragons real-time CEO, known as the "Director" of Liu Zhi.

Director agree with this sentence: everything has rules. Technical background on the Internet and intelligent hardware marketer for many years, also found what some call rules:

1, in China, every 7 years there will be a revolution of the Internet;

2, equipment and network development advanced Revolution 2-3, and with the popularity began to saturate, gradually lowering of prices;

3, every revolution ultimately has nothing to do with the device itself.

In his view, the mobile Web will follow the pattern. So, Director Liu has long past accumulated and the opportunity cost of investing in the wild dogs live on in the future.

Wild dogs what is real time? Starbucks iPhone 6 Case

Earlier, when dogs do hardware, startups offer firmware upgrades, user statistics and so on Internet services, but the actual testing process Director realize that the demand is not there, Warrior after suffering a broken arm, the Director abandoned the previous direction, wild dogs now working to provide the connection services and development programmes without end.

Director said that now comes to the Internet of things, people think of light bulbs, such as networking, socket networking, but Internet is not just a smart home simple. Now, this concept is still in the "Halo curve" top, you also need to silence, and further development, from a real development will take some time.

Summary again in rice noodle Festival ends successfully millet NET electric

Can determine is that the April 8 to millet, like 11.11 to Ali, has been a title sponsor and a fixed holiday.

From 2012 of first session rice section began, millet currently has continuous four years in April 8 this days big activities, and on like double 11 when Beijing East, and suning and GOME not let Ali a designed beauty as, rice section day millet of old head Huawei, and charm family, and cool sent also are collective out make field to has, again plus day also while is HTC M9+ and beauty figure phone of launches, so can said day of lively degree has far beyond has many people of expected.

But both in terms of sales, amount, or from influence, crowding the screen includes micro-blogging, media attention and records broken, apparently Huawei and Meizu cut millet Wu's idea was not successful, but would sure get a large slice of this rice noodle Festival revellers "curtain", are worth it.

Why millet made?

However, millet today released several times the usual inventory, required before appointment or rush to buy users there is not authentic, but held this view as well may be there, then why millet opposite day?

For millet for, continued do rice section of primary reasons on is it need regularly maintain brand and fans groups between of relationship, but weekday in of has has has regularly promotions and snapped up of "General" means, so its must to took out a more has ceremony sex of concept, to create out a more tall Shang, even is total Grand Carnival of feel, and rice section is for of came into being of product.

In addition, millet, rice, and online e-commerce market promotion is actually almost makes sense, because you can take the opportunity of more positive exposure, this approach is not as hard ads allows consumers to watch out for, and most wind up momentum through the media. And in the end, in addition to the direct product sold outside rice for rice blast is extremely effective.

Behind the Festival, you should look at the millet system

Rice noodle Festival last year after millet networks in terms of scale business enterprises, China has become the third, but it has not been much noticed, the main reason is that when phone is still the driving force, that is to say, at that time still gives the impression that the millet millet network mobile phones online stores, rather than a real, mature e-commerce companies.

But to has today, you is not can ignored this is has, because in millet Sun out of transcripts in, phone (including flat), and TV (including box) and router this old three pieces although still occupy theme, but is has no longer alone beauty, intelligent hardware and accessories of sales results also dazzling exception, even just released didn't long of millet socket also became has sales highest of single products--including Lei in yesterday held of launches Shang also again said, millet network positioning of is vertical electric business, It contains with millet of main business millet phone (including flat), and millet TV (including box), and millet router, also while contains with millet ecological chain in the of more than 20 more species products, this on both sides with composition has millet of ecological chain, but millet of ecological not closed of, future at least also to do 100 paragraph products, here side of products is open of, non-exclusive, not exclusive, purpose is build a full open of platform.

This that is, millet network of target may just domestic maximum of line Shang intelligent equipment electric business, it also aimed at has became can provides large strong needs and high price life supplies of more category sale website--in millet teamed up has beauty of, and proposed has future to investment full 100 home enterprise of Grand target zhihou, its electric business business of imagine space has has has very ample of extended surface. Let alone the rice noodle Festival, almost overwhelmingly is winning some gadgets – light bulbs, mouse pads, scales, they bring millet's brand identity is strong, then at the most representative sales of more than 240,000 more than one power strip, which should be taken so that the number of people in traditional industries not sweet not sleep.

And just a few categories, and millet is a brand, it got so much traffic and conversion rates, do not bring festivals like alijingdong to be overwhelming advertising, this in itself is already one of the great wonders of the e-commerce industry.

Rice noodle Festival is also the same as double, has its back side

Rice section is a miracle, but it while is side mirror, both foreign singing has millet of cattle broke, is also refraction out has millet current many of problem where, for example many products stock of grey mark also displayed has bound millet of is not marketing, and still is capacity, and from must degree Shang for, this is millet of electric business business currently still cannot further to mass of reasons one of.

Also has is problem is logistics, millet currently although has established up has 12 a warehouse Center, also has Shun Feng, and as wind up, third party Express help its escort to last a km, but like warehouse this heavy assets, apparently not millet at and focuses on of, and this caused of directly effect is, now even is Shanghai Pudong of some regional are no open millet TV of purchase permission, and in future millet into of electric commodity class increasingly more zhihou, can wants to see millet of pressure also will further increases. OtterBox iPad Mini Case OtterBox iPad Mini Case

Also, most important of is this times rice section of orders data reflect out, 2.12 million Taiwan phone only sold has 1.717 billion, is equal to average each Taiwan only more than 800 more Yuan, this also basic can determine sales of at least seven or eight into are is red meters phone, this directly reflect has small Mi Li home of this of 1999, also has yearning for high-end of 2299 price of products, in now of sales momentum does not hot, overall also is large relies on low-end products for shipping main of embarrassing--this is apparently is fatal of, Gross margin because of its bulk and size are fastened to this, it may bring more and more pressure will make great cracked the myth of millet, now millet is trying to brand image and diverse hardware layout work, however, which have not been provided to the millet is a substantial, genuine competitiveness based on the ecological significance and the moat.

Smart device step by step how to save our hearing

Text/Zhao Shanjun

Since the birth of mankind, has been trying to battle with disease and aging. And partial loss of function of the body, human effort, there are two ideas: "repair or replace". Unfortunately, the "fix" does not apply to all cases, limbs cannot grow new limbs, hearing loss, ears not recycled ... ... Then look for "alternative" became the only viable way.

In a pirate movie, we can see a vicious pirate captain face have wood feet. In contemporary society, crutches, wheelchairs and even blade prosthetic common, vision's friends on the nose also the optical lenses of the glasses, hearing loss friends also wore a hearing aid, there are artificial joints, artificial heart, lung, and kidney. Even the latest movies of the Polytechnic Institute in imagining the implanted chip.

We should be grateful, technological and medical advances, "alternative" technology is more and more mature. Author at the hearing healthcare industry, volunteer Science Popularization of the current "smart devices" only counted in application of the evolutionary history of the industry.

Smart first step: click sounds

Hearing aids, you may have the impression. A few decades ago, has a white-haired old man ears headphones hanging in front of the long line, shirt pocket has a radio box. This is now rarely used "analogue hearing aids", simply, is a linear amplifier, sound amplifier. Users than the original hearing, "amplified sound" clearly intelligent

Second step smart: linear amplification

Later, found that the loss of hearing loss at different frequencies are not the same, bad linear amplifiers for analog circuits, digital hearing aids have emerged based on the DSP chip. After rigorous listening tests, based on different frequencies to different amount of compensation, making linear amplification of the sound more suitable for users of hearing aids.

Third step smart: noise reduction and scene recognition

Later, found a problem hearing aids: wear hearing aids do feel there is noise? Through establishing sound data models, through the identification of environmental noise, "noise reduction" programs, but users in different demand scenario for effective voice is not the same. Do? Have emerged through a smart phone's location to determine scenarios, and the hearing aid sound handler handler to automatically switch between different scenes.

I like happy hearing aids, Oticon

Fourth step smart: made for iPhone

The use of mobile phones, is also important for the hearing impaired, call wearing a hearing aid, always a little inconvenience. In the latest hearing aids, already have a 2.4Ghz Bluetooth connection between the phone and hearing aid.

Fifth step smart: technology integration

Going to have a very small hearing aids? Hearing aids can do not damage easily? Hearing aids can have batteries with long? Hearing aids can be based on Chinese language policy? Ted Baker note 3 covers

Smaller and smaller chips, making small size and power consumption, and good performance;

Nano-dustproof and waterproof coating makes use of a hearing aid is not easily broken;

Chinese voice models for data analysis, program for Chinese language processing.

Ultimately, the hearing aid as a smart device, not on a technology by leaps and bounds, but chip, power supply, language processing, microphone technology, such as the development of an integrated.

 

Reconstruction of listening with smart device? Ted Baker Note 3 Case

Said hearing aids, we think if a person's hearing loss hearing AIDS cannot function do? Such as severe and extremely severe in patients with otitis media in patients with nerve deafness, they cannot use an existing hearing aid.

I would say that cochlear implant was the first in human history: real artificial organs? It can replace human functions, high Biger.

Basic principle is a coil implanted under the skin and the electrode, electrode directly stimulate the auditory nerve obtained hearing. Worn speech processor on the ears, between the head and the coil implanted under the skin to "trans-skin communication" signal transmission.

Relates to implanted under the skin, then use the material and human exclusion does not appear. For example: titanium alloy, ceramics, silicone. In addition to the material, is the process of production, chip subcutaneous fluids seeping, just does not work (from the point, tech movies directly in the ear implants don't make sense). None of this is the highest level of technical requirements, but do these techniques, it is difficult.

For otitis media and otitis externa in patients with abnormal inner ear function and need not do cochlear implants, hearing AIDS cannot, do? Still there is a way.

This is the vibrant SoundBridge technique. Principle, it is probably in the cochlea of the inner ear, there's a metal vibrator, instead of three tiny bones in the middle ear for sound transmission.

This is bone-anchored hearing aid BAHA technology. General principle is embedded in the skull of a titanium alloy nail, outside is the processor, by skull vibration transmission.

This is the Sophono bone-anchored hearing aids, unlike BAHA was, bare nails or skin without something else, implants, implant, processor and implants by "trans-skin communication" approach.

Smart devices can also replace what organ?

Above, is hearing medical science, and in the last few years, "artificial vision" technology is already in clinical trials. Retinal prosthesis technology, intraocular implant chip help the blind regain visual approach. Pity is that current technology can only help the user with a sense of light and contour, cannot yet be completely reconstructed vision.

To sum up, intelligent artificial organs, is coming towards us. Materials technology, development of power technology, chip technology, communication technology, mankind in the near future to achieve "handicapped rehabilitation, blind sight, deaf fucong. "The real development of smart devices, maybe just need to improve on existing equipment, intelligent, and more importantly," demand "," technology "," expanding discipline integration "come true.
