Chapter 75 Intelligent Input Method.

On the second day after He Xiaopeng arrived in Shanghai, Wang Xiaochuan also came with two friends.

"How about it? If you are not satisfied with the room, you can change it as you like. You can live in whatever room you want." Shen Lang took out the large bunch of keys again.

Wang Xiaochuan shook his head for a while, and his friend quickly said: "Satisfied, very satisfied."

"That's good. You can stay here first. The company is still under renovation. Otherwise, I'll give each of you a laptop. You can work at home first. During this time, you will be paid normally." Shen Lang showed a smile. A self-confident smile.

Wang Xiaochuan patted his backpack: "No need for Mr. Shen, we all carry notebooks, this computer is the lifeblood for our programmers."

Shen Lang nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and now he saved 3 yuan. He couldn't help but glanced at He Xiaopeng, who quickly turned his face away, not to look at Shen Lang's face.

"Okay, I'll go to the property to turn on the Internet in your room in a while, and you should decorate your rooms first, and I'll treat you to a treat in a while."

Wang Xiaochuan shared a flat with a fat friend, and another thin friend was arranged with He Xiaopeng. Two rooms and one living room are enough for two people.

Soon they settled down, and Shen Lang took the four of them to dinner.

At the dinner table, Wang Xiaochuan asked Shen Lang: "Boss Shen, we didn't talk in detail before, can you tell us first what kind of product you plan to make, so we can have a good idea."

Shen Lang put down his chopsticks and said sternly: "That's what I think. Lao He is in charge of developing the browser, and Xiao Chuan, you are in charge of developing the search engine and pinyin input method. You see, IE browser has the highest market share in the market now. However, since Microsoft killed the Netscape browser, it has become lazy, and the product has not been updated for many years. Many netizens in our country are just connected to the Internet. It is terrible to let them remember those complicated URLs. This is our Opportunity."

"So, my idea is to make a browser that is easy to operate, and at the same time make a website navigation, and store all types of websites in our navigation. As long as users download our browser, they don't need to remember those Messy URLs, just one click is enough."

Wang Xiaochuan and his two friends looked at each other, and they both saw excitement in their eyes. In fact, they were beating drums in their hearts before they came. Although Shen Lang offered a very high salary, who can guarantee how long a new company can last? Woolen cloth?

Doing software development is actually like a creator. Creating a "life" in the Internet world, programmers often pour a lot of emotion into their lives when creating life. Many times, the product is cut in half without an interview. The most uncomfortable thing is not The boss, but the programmer.

Hearing what Shen Lang said, several people were all excited, because just listening to it, they felt that this project was very promising.

He Xiaopeng also nodded thoughtfully. He came here for a high salary, but he also hoped that his products would be liked by more users, which is also a manifestation of personal value.

"As for search engines, Baidu and Google are our direct competitors. In this area, Xiaochuan will be under greater pressure, but for the time being, I don't require our products to be ahead of competitors. , our market share will not be too low.”

Shen Lang paused, then continued: "The other is the pinyin input method. The functions of Microsoft's pinyin and smart ABC on the market are too simple, and Wubi pinyin is even less of a concern. What else should I recite: Wang Pangqingtouwu One, Tushi is working hard, and my idea is to design an intelligent input method that can type smoothly as long as you have learned pinyin."

"Intelligent input method? Mr. Shen, where should your intelligence be reflected?" Wang Xiaochuan's chubby friend couldn't help asking.

Shen Lang dipped his hand into some wine, and drew a stroke on the table: "Look at the current pinyin input method, if you want to type out the character you want accurately, you need to type out all the pinyin of the word. , what initials and finals, there is only one letter missing, which is very troublesome for beginners."

"I'm thinking, is it possible to do this? Let's simplify the pinyin by comparing the thesaurus. Suppose the word to be typed is: I want. It takes five letters to type in the Microsoft Pinyin input method, but using our With the pinyin input method, you only need to type three letters WOY, and the words that users want appear exactly, do you think users will choose us or Microsoft Pinyin?"

"Wonderful, this idea is good. In fact, I have long felt that Microsoft Pinyin is particularly difficult to use." Wang Xiaochuan's chubby friend volunteered: "Mr. Shen, can you entrust me with the project of the smart Pinyin input method?"

Shen Lang looked at the fat programmer in front of him with scrutiny. Wang Xiaochuan also saw Shen Lang's worry, so he patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Boss Shen, Yuan Shuai's technology is definitely more than enough to develop an input method." , leave it to him, you can rest assured."

Shen Lang thought that Daniel's friend's skills should not be that bad, so he agreed, but he still asked.

"Then where do you think this smart input method should start?"

Yuan Shuai puffed his chest out: "Actually, the most difficult part of this smart input method is not the technology, but the capacity of the lexicon. We can extract the lexicons of Microsoft Pinyin and Smart ABC input methods, and then select some commonly used words from them. Words are prioritized, which will give users a hint: This input method understands me better, and users will naturally choose our input method.”

Shen Lang nodded secretly, sure enough there were two brushes, but on the surface he still shook his head: "But this is not smart enough."

"That's right, so our smart pinyin input method also needs the cooperation of search engines to import the keywords entered by users into our thesaurus every time. This is equivalent to users filtering the thesaurus for us." Yuan Shuai As he talked, his eyes were shining brightly, not at all like the honest and introverted appearance before. Sure enough, the man of science and engineering would only become radiant when he talked about topics that he was just interested in.

Shen Lang nodded appreciatively, and added: "A memory function can also be added, and user registration is provided at the same time. As long as the user registers an account, it is equivalent to backing up his common words in the account, so that even if he changes If you don’t have a computer, you don’t have to worry about your common words disappearing, which can greatly increase our user stickiness, and at the same time prepare for our next plan.”

When Yuan Shuai heard this, his chubby hands turned white with excitement. He believed that once such an input method came out, it would sweep away other input methods on the market.

He Xiaopeng looked at Shen Lang in surprise for a while, then asked curiously: "Mr. Shen, what is your next plan?"

The three of Wang Xiaochuan also looked at Shen Lang expectantly.

　Recommend everyone a good urban book "In order to protect the research: opening combat mechs"

　　If you don't study hard in university, you will definitely not pass the postgraduate entrance examination. The society is so introverted, so you can only publish combat mech technology, so you can guarantee the research.

　　When being interviewed by a large TV station, Bai Fan answered the reporter with an unpretentious face,
　　What dreams do they have, the dream is a salted fish, a salted fish with a sense of technology
