Shi Lei came up with the original design for the LIP lens processor, and Dong Guoguo designed and modified it.
There were two original design plans.
The first design was suggested by Shi Lei, which was to integrate the call function and internet connection function into the LIP lens processor.
In Shi Lei's opinion, this kind of design plan surpassed Google Glass's plan. This was because Google Glass needed to be used with a mobile phone. If there was no mobile phone to provide internet connection, then Google Glass could only be used with Wifi.
At the same time, the call function could only be implemented with the help of Bluetooth. Without a compatible phone, Google Glass's functions would be limited by at least half, and its range of use would also be greatly limited.
To get rid of the dependence on mobile phones, Shi Lei wanted to integrate the mobile phone's SOC chip into the LIP lens processor. This way, the integration of the LIP lens processor would be higher, and the profit margin would be higher.
In fact, integrating the mobile phone's SOC chip into the LIP lens processor would also reduce the research and manufacturing pressure of Mirage Technology Group. Just as the outside world had analyzed, Mirui Technology Group did not have the relevant experience of manufacturing mobile devices. To develop a reliable mobile phone, even if Shi Lei had the memory of the future, he could design an excellent mobile phone plan out of thin air.
But so what if they had a good mobile phone design? Without the relevant manufacturing equipment and skilled workers, how could they manufacture mobile phones? Maybe they could learn from Apple and use Foxconn to manufacture mobile phones. But how could they control the quality control?
Even Mirage Technology Group could not ask Foxconn to guarantee the quality of their mobile phones before they had sales figures to prove themselves. Sony had been cheated by Foxconn many times, and they knew Foxconn's characteristics.
It had always been a wise saying that the bigger the shop, the bullied the customers!
That was why Shi Lei did not want to design a mobile phone to be used with the LIP lens processor. However, it was not easy to integrate the mobile phone baseband SOC chip into the LIP lens information processor.
After all, the LIP lens processor's outer appearance was very limited. It was only a pair of glasses, and in such a small space, how could it integrate so many things?
Even if he could make an issue out of the glasses, it was still impossible to integrate too many things into the glasses.
Dong Guoguo, on the other hand, was more inclined towards an external mobile phone baseband SOC chip. That was the second plan, which was to design a separate device that integrated the mobile phone baseband SOC chip. Whether it was made into a standalone mobile phone device or other similar mobile devices, in short, it should not be integrated into the LIP lens-type information processor.
"Boss, I don't have any good suggestions for now!" Dong Guoguo answered Shi Lei's question. "It's very, very difficult to integrate the mobile phone baseband SOC chip into the LIP lens information processor. If he insisted on integrating it into the glasses, not only would it increase the size of the glasses, but it would also increase the battery consumption. The already short endurance time will be further reduced. "
Shi Lei sighed. "Is there no solution?"
"I'm afraid not! Even the use of new energy sources would not be able to solve the problem! After all, the problem of energy had been solved, but there was still the problem of appearance. We can't design the legs of the glasses to be as thick as sausages, right? "Dong Guoguo said helplessly.
Shi Lei thought to himself, but he still silently resisted the idea of designing a mobile phone alone. "Old Dong, do we really have to design a mobile phone?"
"No need! Boss, just like the second proposal you suggested, we only need to design an external device for the mobile phone baseband SOC chip. As for the other functions, the LIP lens-type information processor can handle them all! "Dong Guoguo answered.
"What do you want it to look like?" Shi Lei was speechless. This was because he was the one who suggested this idea in the first place. After going around in circles for so long, they were back to square one.
"Izur, send the relevant design plans to the boss!" Dong Guoguo ordered. The production lines in the Lin 'an underground base were all controlled by Izur. Dong Guoguo had high authority over Izur.
Izur followed Dong Guoguo's instructions and displayed the design plans for the mobile phone baseband SOC chip on the screen of Server No. 6.
Shi Lei looked at the relevant design plans. There were a total of three design plans. However, each design plan was a square design. The only difference was the color.
'Damn it! Could Old Dong have been influenced by Nokia? Is technology based on changing colors? 'Shi Lei complained in his heart.
"Boss, what do you think? The design plan is good, right?" Dong Guoguo asked.
Shi Lei was speechless. "Old Dong, isn't this design a little too …"
"Boss, I know this design plan lacks fashion sense. However, if you follow my design plan, there will be a big advantage! "Dong Guoguo said confidently.
Shi Lei asked curiously, "What advantage?"
"Battery life!" Dong Guoguo revealed the most important factor. "Boss, this design plan has a built-in high-capacity battery and a built-in Wifi hotspot. It will use Wifi to transmit data to the LIP lens-type information processor. Compared to the Bluetooth method, Wifi was more power-efficient for data transmission. At the same time, the mobile phone baseband SOC chip will not consume additional power from the LIP lens-type information processor. It will only use the internal battery. "
Dong Guoguo paused for less than three seconds and continued, "According to the design plan, the external mobile phone baseband SOC chip device will be able to work continuously for twenty-four hours. Compared to the working time, it is only the size of a cigarette box. It is completely acceptable. Of course, Boss, I have a backup plan. It is only half the thickness of a cigarette box, but the battery life is only ten hours. "
Shi Lei rubbed his temples. Dong Guoguo's design plan, other than the lack of fashion sense, was indeed very good. Especially for men, an external product that was the size of a cigarette box was nothing in their pockets. Maybe it could even be used as an advertisement for quitting smoking. After all, it was impossible to carry two packs of cigarettes in one's pocket. That was a little too uncomfortable.
Even for men or women who did not smoke, they could also choose a short-lasting product that was half the thickness of a cigarette box. Although the short-lasting product would reduce the battery life by a lot. However, with ten hours of battery life, it could still be used normally for the whole day.
"Old Dong, your design plan is good! Whether it is a long-lasting version or a short-lasting version, both need to be developed. However, Old Dong, I have also thought of a new idea. We can develop an external bracelet. This bracelet will not only integrate the mobile phone's SOC chip, but it can also incorporate a pedometer, heart rate monitoring device, and so on. "Shi Lei proposed a new idea.
This design plan would be a very popular wearable device in a few years' time. However, in this era, the concept of a wearable device was still very new.
Dong Guoguo listened to Shi Lei's design plan and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Director Shi, this design plan is very good. However, I am afraid that it will take some time to develop. "
Shi Lei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! Old Dong, your design plan is the first generation product. The plan I just provided is the second generation product. These two products do not conflict with each other. It is an upgrade, understand? "
Dong Guoguo's mobile phone SOC chip external device did not have any artistic sense. Its shape was completely like a cigarette box. There was no beauty in it. However, its design plan was excellent. It used Wifi to transmit data. At least, it could increase the battery life of the LIP lens information processor by more than 75%.
Dong Guoguo laughed dryly. He almost said the word 'profiteer'. However, Dong Guoguo could not help but admire Shi Lei's thinking. If the wearable bracelet was released as the second generation product, not only would he not be treated as a profiteer, but he would also win a lot of praise. This was because from the first generation product to the second generation product, regardless of the design or function, it had improved by a lot!
"Boss, what should we name the external device with the mobile phone SOC chip?" Dong Guoguo asked Shi Lei. The naming rights of this type of product were usually decided by Shi Lei.
Shi Lei thought about it. Although Dong Guoguo's design did not have any beauty or fashion sense, the second generation product was confirmed to be a wearable device. So, they could not simply name it 'data box'.
"Since it is a product that provides data, then let's call it 'Super Source'! Xia's name is' Super Source '! "Shi Lei did not come up with a tacky name.
Dong Guoguo immediately agreed. "Good name!"
Ahem, even if it was not a good name, Dong Guoguo would still praise it!
"Oh yes, Old Dong, you need to make some changes to your design!" Shi Lei suggested. "First, change the rectangular design to a square design. Second, change the plastic shell to a metal shell. To ensure the comfort of light weight, we will choose an aviation aluminum magnesium alloy. Third, all the frames will be designed with curved edges, and the surface metal will be anodized. Fourth, the whole machine will be sealed, and users will not be allowed to open it privately. Fifth, the battery replacement method will be designed with a button-type metal pop-up sheet to make it convenient for users to change the battery. Sixth, do not design an external charging port, but a built-in wireless charging module. Seventh, a standard battery and a battery charger will be given as a gift. "
Dong Guoguo excitedly recorded down Shi Lei's suggestions. The originally ordinary Super Source device suddenly became fashionable. Although using a metal shell and curved edge design would greatly increase the cost. However, these costs would ultimately be paid by the users.
"Boss, how should we design the wearable bracelet?" After Shi Lei had given so many constructive suggestions, Dong Guoguo looked forward to asking Shi Lei. She hoped that Shi Lei would continue to provide good suggestions.
