Chapter 296 Start the research and development of smartphones (3/4)

In Yeshu's plan, Phoenix Software mainly develops open operating systems, like their computer operating systems, which can be used by everyone.

The management of application software on the operating system is not particularly strict, but the management of software downloaded from their online mall is very strict.

For the same reason, the mobile phone operating system also adopts an open attitude. If there are manufacturers using their mobile phone operating system, they are very welcome. It is just a mobile application store, which is also managed by themselves.

On the other hand, Qinglong Technology Company is preparing to build a closed operating system similar to the previous Apple, which is also limited to internal product use and will not authorize externally.

The reason for doing this is to avoid monopoly accusations on the one hand, and to prepare for Qinglong Technology’s high-end products on the other hand.

All high-end products will use their own operating system, so that in addition to hardware advantages, they also have software advantages. Special optimization of their own products is much better than open operating systems.

Since the two operating systems are written in the Phoenix language, the application software developed is cross-platform, which can bring a large number of application software to the closed operating system.

When Ye Zishu came to Phoenix Software Company, he immediately summoned people from the operating system department to start making some preparations for the mobile phone operating system, mainly by recruiting manpower.

In order to be able to research the mobile phone operating system before the end of the year, not only 400 people were transferred from the operating system department, but also a total of 600 people were transferred from other project teams.

Form a 1,000-person smartphone operating system project team, and let people from other project teams follow the people in the operating system department to learn the system architecture of the Phoenix operating system.

And Ye Zishu returned to his office in Phoenix Software Company, ready to sort out the structure and design of the smartphone operating system, which he could only do.

Because there are no 3G mobile phones at present, other people don't know how to do it at all, and it also involves 3G communication technology. Only he can penetrate communication technology, software technology and even hardware technology.

He didn't make it too complicated, and built it directly according to the Android system in his previous life, so that he didn't need to browse materials from the virtual library, which could save a lot of time.

In just 5 days, Leaf Book completed all the architecture and design materials of the smartphone operating system, and also gave many implementation methods and algorithms.

As long as the R\u0026D personnel based on these data,

According to the picture, you can build a smart phone operating system on the computer, and you don't need to wait until the mobile phone hardware comes out before starting to develop the operating system.

Now Phoenix Software is very familiar with the research of the operating system, and this smart phone operating system uses the core of the Phoenix operating system, so the development difficulty is even lower.

After handing over the technical information of the smartphone operating system, Ye Zishu immediately began to prepare a closed operating system for Qinglong Technology Company. In fact, there is not much difference between the two.

At present, the personal computer operating system developed by Qinglong Technology Company also uses the kernel of the Phoenix operating system. There is no need to make a separate kernel, and only need to pay the authorization fee for the Phoenix operating system.

Then build a set of its own operating system based on the Phoenix operating system kernel. The main difference between the two lies in this level.

The same is true for smartphone operating systems, and even the interface operations are mostly similar, but not identical.

In the previous life, whether it was the Android system or the Apple system, they were actually becoming more and more similar. The fundamental difference lies in the management of application software and internal optimization.

Therefore, when Leaf Book organizes the mobile phone operating system of Qinglong Technology Company, it also needs to take the hardware into consideration, and configure the uncertain hardware parameters by means of a list configuration.

In this way, as long as the hardware of the mobile phone is determined, it can quickly perform in-depth optimization according to the hardware situation, so that the system and hardware can reach the best state.

After sorting out the smartphone operating system of Qinglong Technology Company, Ye Zishu came to the operating system project team of Qinglong Technology Company and held a meeting on the smartphone operating system.

It's just that the staff of the operating system project team of Qinglong Technology Company is not large, and the research and development of the personal computer operating system has already occupied almost all of its energy.

Now it is necessary to start the research and development of the smartphone operating system. There are not enough personnel at all, but it is not realistic to recruit personnel from Phoenix Software or other companies under Phoenix Technology.

They all have their own research and development projects in progress, and no one will separate them out. After all, they are two companies, and their respective interests are not completely consistent, at least in the eyes of employees.

So Ye Zishu found Ren Zhengfei again, asking him to recruit more software talents, and not letting Ren Zhengfei poach people from Phoenix Technology.

He was afraid that Ren Zhengfei would start to use the gold dollar offensive again to poach the research and development personnel under the Phoenix Technology Company. Wouldn't that be his own people beating his own people?

Now the entire company under the Phoenix Technology Company is full of various research and development projects, not to mention the current manpower, no matter how many people there are, they will not be enough.

At present, the total number of employees under Phoenix Technology has only reached more than 30,000, an increase of more than 5,000 compared with a year ago, but compared with the research and development projects, it is still not enough.

When Ren Zhengfei heard Ye Zishu's words, he complained directly: "The current domestic software talents are basically monopolized by Phoenix Technology Company. How can there be so many remaining talents for Qinglong Technology Company."

"Then I don't care. Aren't you good at wielding a hoe? Going to state-owned enterprises and national scientific research institutes to recruit people, as long as they are not state-secret units, there should be no big problem." Ye Zishu said.

Ye Zishu left the technical information of the operating system and directly handed over the work to Ren Zhengfei, while he himself began to organize the technical information for the smartphone hardware.

To reflect the uniqueness of smart phones, it is necessary to allow smart phones to have more functions, and these functions not only need the support of the system, but also need the support of hardware.

The first is the SoC chip, which integrates CPU, GPU, coprocessor, baseband, ISP, and analog IP and digital IP.

This has the advantages of reducing power consumption, reducing volume, increasing system functions, increasing speed, and saving costs. This is the key to making mobile phones slim.

The second is the RAM and ROM used in the mobile phone. The space of the mobile phone is limited, and the RAM must be small enough, but the capacity should not be too small, otherwise it will affect the smooth operation of the mobile phone.

The ROM must also be changed. It is impossible to use a mechanical hard disk in the mobile phone, but if you want the mobile phone to have enough storage space, the ROM capacity should not be too small.

Therefore, there is still a big difference between the two and the standards used on computers, and special design and special manufacturing are required.

Then there is the screen. There is still a big difference between a large-size screen and a small-size screen. Due to the long distance, the large screen has some graininess, which is not a big problem, and it cannot be seen from a long distance.

However, the screen of a mobile phone is too close to the eyes of people. As long as there are obvious particles, it will cause visual fatigue and make people feel uncomfortable.

Then there is the camera. Anyway, he has already planned to develop photosensitive chips and prepares to manufacture high-end video cameras and high-end cameras. The mobile phone camera is just a incidental thing.

Again, there are various sensors, such as distance sensors, acceleration sensors, gravity sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, etc., such as barometers, which are not used temporarily, but the first few are still necessary.

Finally, there are various radio frequency chips, including radio frequency transmitter chips, navigation antenna chips, WIFI chips, NFC chips, Bluetooth chips, etc.

Although his research is not necessarily called these names, but the functions are the same, and these are built into the mobile phone in advance, which will help to further promote his standards.

Some of these parts are already under research and development, even if they are different, they will not be very different, and they can be used as mobile phone parts with a little modification.

Some of them need new research and development, and many of them are completely new things. After preparing the technical materials, they are directly thrown to Ni Guangnan, the chief engineer.

Let him organize a R\u0026D team to develop these component projects. It is not an option for a chief engineer to stay in the chip project team every day. It just allows him to do other tasks.

As for when it will be developed, he is not in a hurry, as long as it can be released next year, after all, he really wants to release the smartphone globally, and he doesn't know when it will be.
