The next day, Jiang Wanmeng, Xu Lihua, and the rest came to Feng Yu's office with their newly developed product. They named it the Super MP3 player.
This is an MP3 player that can play videos. In Feng Yu's previous life, this product is called MP4 in China.
"General Manager Feng, we have successfully developed this product. This gadget can be used to watch videos in the future." Jiang Wanmeng said excitedly.
"Oh? It can only play a fixed format? "Feng Yu asked.
"Errr … That's right. Currently, we only support one video format. However, we have included a video format conversion software that can convert video files of other formats into MPEG-4 video format. "
Feng Yu shook his head. "What about the conversion speed? It's very slow, right? I have the time to convert the video. Why don't I watch it on my computer? However, this was not bad. It could be considered a breakthrough in technology. Next, you all need to think of a way to create a compatible format. "
If converting a video format takes more than 10 minutes, it will be too slow. Moreover, the size of the screen had to be taken into account. It wouldn't do if the screen was too big.
That's why Feng Yu said this product can only be considered a Super MP3 player, and it is a transitional product.
When this technology matures, it can be used on mobile phones. When mobile phones have this function, how many people will buy a Super MP3 player for this function?
"Our product can also display pictures and e-books."
"Ok. This is good."
No matter what, the main function of this product is to play MP3 and listen to music. Although it can watch videos, pictures, and e-books, the screen is too small, and it's tiring to look at them. That's why listening is the most important.
"But don't be discouraged. Don't forget we still have a website. We can charge for downloading MP4 videos on our website. This will save them the trouble of converting the video format. That means we can convert the video format to MP4. "
Xu Lihua immediately said. "No problem. We are already doing it. Sohu has the rights to many short videos, and many of them are uploaded by netizens. The agreement states that others can download them freely. That's why we have both paid and free videos. We should be able to satisfy most of our users' needs. "
"What about the e-book copyright? Have you considered it? "
"We have also contacted Qidian website about this. They will provide a version that is suitable for us to download. Some of them are paid, and some are free. At the same time, they are also contacting other novel websites. "
"As for the pictures, this is relatively simple. We support the mainstream format, so there is no need to convert."
Feng Yu looked at the Super MP3 player. It retained its usual excellent design. There were not many buttons, but they were more practical. It was easy to operate and could be done with one hand.
The screen was 2.8 inches, which was already very big. With the addition of the buttons, this product looked very big. However, he could still easily control it with one hand, so there was no problem.
The elasticity of the buttons was very good. Feng Yu had tested it and found that it should be able to be used normally for three years, even if it was used by someone who frequently flipped through the pages of an e-book.
This product still didn't have a voiceover, so you could only use headphones.
Feng Yu played a video and put on his headphones to experience it. Hmm, the sound quality is not bad. Even if I take off the earphones and play it to the maximum, I won't hear any static.
The picture quality is also very clear, and Feng Yu is satisfied with the resolution of the screen.
But Feng Yu noticed a few small problems. He took off his headphones and threw the Super MP3 player on the table.
Xu Lihua and Jiang Wanmeng were shocked. What's wrong with General Manager Feng? Is he not satisfied? They had never seen General Manager Feng throw anything.
"General Manager Feng, is there any problem with this product?" Xu Lihua asked cautiously.
Feng Yu was confused. "Ah? I am just trying to see if this product is sturdy. "
Xu Lihua: "… …"
Jiang Wanmeng: "… …"
Can't you tell us before you try it? We thought there was a problem. You scared us to death.
"It's still alright. There seems to be no damage. But there are still some other problems with this product. I will bring them up, and you can see if you can improve on it. "
Xu Lihua and Jiang Wanmeng immediately sat up straight and listened attentively to their teacher's teachings.
"First, this product is the same as a traditional MP3 player. There is no external audio. I know this product is the same as a traditional MP3 player. There is no external audio. But think about it. Mobile phones have many functions. Why can't this product have external audio? Especially now that you all can play videos, and many people will watch videos at the same time. "
"Secondly, you all only support MPEG-4 videos. This will not do. You all need to improve the system so that it can play different video formats. Compatibility is very important."
The most annoying thing when you watch a video is to be told that you all do not support this video format!
"Also, since this product is so big, you must have increased the screen size and the battery, right? Let me ask you all. What if you had finished watching the video and listening to the songs? "
"Change to a new one." Xu Lihua looked at Feng Yu with a puzzled look. What's there to not understand?
"Have you all ever thought of combining this product with other products to create a new product?"
Another new product? But what product should it be combined with? CD? Or Walkman?
"Let me give you two examples. For example, if this product can be combined with a voice recorder, it will be a Super MP3 player that can record music. If it can be combined with a radio, as long as there is a signal, you will be able to enjoy new content. "
"Mobile phones can take pictures, and why can't this Super MP3 player do the same? Why can't the photos stored in it be taken by the user? If not, how many people will store photos in their MP3 players? "
"Also, since the screen is so big, why don't you try to make it a touchscreen one? Mobile phones, laptops, and even electronic dictionaries and learning machines have touchscreens. Why can't this MP3 player have touchscreens? "
"If we can make it a touchscreen, we can simplify the buttons, and the screen can be bigger. Since we can play videos, we should make the screen bigger. Also, I took a look at the picture and the font size of the e-book. There are only three formats. Do you still remember the pictures of our touchscreen phones? We can zoom in and out with just two fingers. Isn't this more convenient and more advanced? "
Jiang Wanmeng and Xu Lihua were dejected after hearing Feng Yu's explanation. They thought they had made an excellent product, but there are so many improvements.
"Oh, Old Xu, you mentioned that the digital camera technology is mature?"
