Chapter 2879 The Moon
Zhou Buqi has some ability to make Internet products, and can even make some unique and popular product designs through some induction and logical analysis. But if he really doesn't have the level to design smart hardware products, he can only rely on foresight.
In the past few years, relying on the new fingerprint unlocking solution, Aster has completed a wave of feats leading the global trend.
Greatly improved the company's brand value.
In the fiercely competitive mobile phone industry, Aster can compete head-on with Apple and Samsung. Apple and Samsung both have world-class brands and powerful self-developed technologies, and Aster is far behind in terms of hard power.
If you want Aster's Aster high-end machine series to be competitive, you must build a brand, lead the trend, and find differentiation!
Now, high-end machines are already standard fingerprint unlocking.
The next step for Aster is to lead the next era and develop a face recognition unlocking solution!
From fingerprint unlocking to face recognition unlocking, it is not just a change in the unlocking method.
The face recognition unlocking solution can save more space and does not require a fingerprint collection platform. The collection of facial information can be integrated into the camera module, which can provide more space for mobile phone design.
In other words, smartphones can truly enter the era of borderless full-screen.
Aisda must seize the opportunity to lead this trend.
And if you want to do this well, it is best to have a self-developed AI chip processing solution.
If there is a lack of AI chips that can process more complex algorithms and have shorter computing time, even if the face recognition unlocking solution is launched, the effect will be greatly reduced. Either the unlocking is very slow or the unlocking accuracy is too low.
Some mobile phone manufacturers even adopted the recognition solutions that were very backward more than ten years ago in order to cater to the market and launch face recognition mobile phones. Users can unlock their phones with a photo.
The main reason is that the algorithm of the mobile phone is not strong and the computing power is not enough.
Relying on general CPU and GPU, the effect is much worse, and it is difficult to reach the level of iPhone.
Dr. Wang Jian said: "Now our AI chip team has accumulated a lot of experience in this area, and the general direction has been determined. If there are few built-in operators, it will be easy to develop."
"Built-in operators?" Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand, "What does this mean?"
Dr. Wang Jian said: "We make dedicated chips... Dedicated chips can only do specific things, and the algorithm must be hardwareized. That is, you must first have a set of face recognition programs, and then engrave this set of algorithm programs on the circuit board. This chip can't do anything else well, so it can only run this program. This is the logic of dedicated chips. The advantages are lower power consumption, easier development, lower cost, and faster efficiency. The disadvantage is that it is used for a specific purpose, and once it is developed, it cannot be changed."
Zhou Buqi asked: "Can't upgrade?"
Dr. Wang Jian said: "The algorithm has been hardwareized, and the algorithm structure of the software corresponds to the design structure on the chip one by one. If the structure is changed during the software upgrade, the AI chip will be invalid and the program cannot be run. If the software upgrade does not change the main structure of the algorithm, the AI chip can still be used."
Zhou Buqi said : "Isn't this too specialized?"
Dr. Wang Jian smiled and said, "That's why there are so many benefits. However, a chip is not only suitable for one set of software. As long as the design level is strong enough, it can adapt to the entire ecosystem. Just like Apple's A series chips, they are very powerful, and many indicators far exceed Qualcomm Snapdragon and Samsung Exynos chips. The main reason is that the A series chips are specifically for the iPhone ecosystem and are adapted to the iOS system. The A series chips cannot process operators that do not belong to the iPhone ecosystem."
"Yeah."
Zhou Buqi nodded
Dr. Wang Jian said, "As of now, there are not enough application scenarios for AI chips. If an AI chip can only provide support for face recognition unlocking, it will certainly be easy to develop, but it will also cause a lot of waste. We should look for more service scenarios."
"Yes!" Zhou Buqi immediately found the direction, "Taking pictures, the camera module of a mobile phone is always much different from a SLR in terms of function, so it requires a lot of post-adjustment. In many cases, not only do you need to adjust the data, but you even need to process the real scene in an AI way."
"Process in time?"
Dr. Wang Jian's eyes lit up.
This is really a good idea.
Many Internet products now revolve around the function of mobile phone photography. Users can upload photos after taking them with their mobile phones. But this brings up a problem. Many photos need to be repaired later.
Even if you take a landscape photo, sometimes it may be too real or too distorted, and further post-photo adjustment is needed.
If the photo function is recorded into the AI chip, AI adjustment can be added when the camera is enabled to make the lens picture more beautiful and stunning at the beginning, thereby greatly improving the user's photo experience.
For example, take a photo of the moon with a mobile phone.
Technically speaking, this is impossible. Mobile phone cameras do not have such powerful functions, and the light source collection cannot be so excellent.
If there is the assistance of AI chips, this is very powerful.
Point your phone at the moon, and the blurry camera will not be able to collect complete information about the moon. At this time, the AI chip can jump out and play its role, relying on some incomplete light source information to intelligently complete the moon.
A beautiful moon picture appears on the phone screen.
In fact, it is not real, but generated by AI.
This is enough to make up for the technical shortcomings of smartphones in taking pictures to a large extent, thus demonstrating the strong technical strength of mobile phones.
Zhou Buqi said: "It's not just about taking pictures, but also about photography. What female celebrities nowadays are most afraid of is the pictures or videos taken by mobile phones that are circulated on the Internet. Because mobile phones are so bad, what they take is more realistic than real ones. The state is too ugly. This is true even for female celebrities, and even more so for ordinary people. Live broadcasts are now done on computers, and in the future live broadcasts will mostly be done on mobile phones, as well as short videos on mobile phones, all of which are required. A better video recording effect. Why don’t I agree to start a short video business now? Because the current level of mobile phones is not enough to support shooting simple and beautiful content, and the short video business still lacks the infrastructure.”
Dr. Wang Jian is very keenly aware of the business opportunities in Big Boss’s idea. “If the photo and photography functions are processed in real time through AI chips, it can indeed quickly promote the maturity of this industry!”
Not only short videos, but also live broadcasts of goods on mobile phones.
The success of these two major industries in the previous life relied on the assistance of mobile phone AI chips, which can make ordinary people look as beautiful as female celebrities. Of course, many liars have also been born. Many female anchors who are obsessed with the top brother are actually AI faces adjusted by AI chips, just like the "moon" in the photo.
Ziweixing made this happen.
Being the first to be applied to Asda’s mobile phones, the market-leading effect is too strong. For many users, it is easy to edit pictures, but it is too difficult to edit videos. If you want to take beautiful and exquisite selfie videos with your mobile phone, Asda mobile phone equipped with AI chip is the best choice.
It can not only promote the development of Ziweixing's Internet industry, but also promote the growth of Asda mobile phone sales.
