158: Star OS 4.0 (Part 2)
As the video played on the big screen, the kunpeng phone 2nd generation running Starlight OS 3.2 began experiencing background app termination after 17 applications were running in the background.
Xingyao OS 4.0 persisted through the testing process, only showing noticeable background termination after 29 applications.
Don't compare the current situation with back then; the Kunpeng mobile phone starting with 4GB of RAM was considered the largest globally. At that time, it was good if a phone could run more than 10 apps simultaneously in the background, and some with poor memory management would kill apps after opening just a few.
"Speed is just our baseline pursuit. To allow our users to have more experiences in the future, this system upgrade also adds three major functions."
"Voice Assistant!"
"Album Filtering!"
"Yellow Pages Function!"
The audience on site grew excited after seeing the three new functions appear on the big screen.
Red Star had been talking about putting a Voice Assistant on their phones since last year, and users have long looked forward to having a Voice Assistant superior to Siri on their devices.
You must know that classmate xiao xing currently has a well-known reputation. Since the last system update, not only has its intelligence increased significantly, but it can even understand dialects now.
Many users choose to buy it for the elderly at home, allowing them to listen to traditional opera or news in their free time.
Album Filtering and the Yellow Pages Function are easy to understand. After all, besides the Voice Assistant, Red Star was behind Xiaomi's MIUI system for the other two features, which were introduced at the mi 3 launch event last year.
However, good things are worth waiting for. Moreover, this time, the Voice Assistant and Album Filtering functions are completely different from MIUI's photo search.
"In the era of mobile information, I believe many of you have received numerous unknown calls."
"Some of these calls are from delivery personnel, some are from food delivery drivers, and others are irritating harassment and sales calls that can even affect our mood."
"Last year, we launched the harassment call interception feature on Starlight OS 3.2, but that relied on manual tagging for interception, which was cumbersome. Sometimes, it even caused people to miss calls from food delivery drivers, and for that, I apologize."
"This new Phone Yellow Pages feature utilizes big data diagnosis. Within our Red Star database, every incoming call will be diagnosed to determine the category of the unknown caller."
"Users only need to glance at the incoming call screen to know whether the unknown call is from food delivery, package delivery, or a harassment/sales call."
"This helps everyone make decisions when receiving unknown calls and reduces unpleasantness in daily life."
"We also strongly encourage everyone to manually tag calls that are not yet marked in our database. Move your little hand and help more star fans friends."
To be honest, Chen Chen was completely taking a shortcut. With Red Star's current database, there was no way to analyze that many phone numbers.
By launching this feature and allowing users to manually tag calls, Red Star's database can be continuously enriched, and the system will determine the call type based on how many times users tag it.
In other words, they are entirely leveraging Red Star's user base to realize this function.
The more users there are, and the more tags they apply, the better this feature will become.
The audience present and those watching the live stream were quite satisfied with this feature. Sometimes, when a call comes in, if you don't answer, you worry it might be important; if you do answer, it turns out to be a damn harassment or sales call, and your good mood instantly vanishes.
After introducing the first function, Chen Chen began introducing the second function: Album Filtering.
Before Chen Chen started describing the specific features, he first displayed two screenshots of different phone albums on the big screen.
One of these screenshots was from the kunpeng phone 2nd generation running Xingyao OS 4.0, and the other was from the Samsung album, which ranks first in international sales.
From the audience's perspective, both albums already contained many diverse photos, appearing slightly disorganized.
"As you can see, the photo management in these albums is quite chaotic. Different images and images from various software applications are stacked together haphazardly according to time."
"You might find it very frustrating when trying to find a specific photo on your phone."
Chen Chen introduced the unreasonable aspects of the two albums on the screen to the audience, as new progress always requires a point of reference.
"This time, our smart album in Xingyao OS 4.0 can manage phone photos in greater depth."
"Unlike Samsung, which can only sort by time, our album this time can be sorted by time, location, and application, like this."
Chen Chen pressed the remote control in his hand, and the Kunpeng mobile phone's album on the big screen changed accordingly, sorting different photos by time into several columns.
After opening the location view, photos taken at different places were categorized into corresponding location albums.
Sliding the album to the left, pictures from different software applications were also organized into separate albums. Pictures saved from WeChat would be stored specifically in the WeChat album, and screenshots would have their own dedicated screenshot album.
This looks cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing, and more standardized than the old version and the Samsung album.
"In addition, thanks to the powerful computing power of the Lingxiao Processor, we also support facial recognition."
"You can tag different portraits in your phone photos. For example, if you tag my face in a picture as 'Chen Chen,' our system will automatically categorize all photos containing my face into a person album named 'Chen Chen'."
"This makes it very convenient for everyone when searching for photos of different classmates."
"At the same time, we have also added a search function to the album, which can extract keywords from the photos."
"When users need to find a photo, they just need to enter keywords into the search bar, and they can search for the image they want."
"For example, if I want to search for 'Chen Chen' and 'cat' now, you can see that in less than a second, our album searches out photos containing both elements: Chen Chen and a cat."
While introducing the album features to the audience, Chen Chen didn't forget to interact with them and immediately demonstrated the function on the big screen.
"Wow! So handsome!"
"President Chen pets cats? How cute."
"President Chen, let go of that cat, let me do it!"
"President Chen, do you need another cat at home? I can meow."
"Of course, besides manual searching, we can also perform voice searches. For example, I can tell the phone, 'Help me find the photos I took in Wuzhen in 2013.'"
"This is the third main feature of our Xingyao OS 4.0: Voice Assistant!"
"Officially launching on Red Star Mobile Phone!"
PS: I saw that everyone wanted to see the full screen display, so I will change the plot sequence, release that first, and then write about other things.
