Chapter 1246

The short message function was launched in 1992. An engineer sent an English word to a mobile phone through a computer, realizing the first short message in the world.

By the way, this engineer is from Motorola.

After that, mobile phones with SMS sending function also appeared, including Motorola and Nokia, but the whole development process was not smooth.

First of all, sending SMS requires a special SMS service center. Receiving and sending SMS requires special equipment. The previous base station has no ability to send SMS at all, which makes the SMS function mobile phone impossible to use at all.

However, with the promotion of GSM technology, the short message function was promoted with the GSM base station. The GSM base station can accept and send short messages, but a new problem appeared again, that is, the capacity limitation of the short message service center.

The SMS is not sent together with the phone signal. The SMS will go to the special SMS service center first, and can only be sent to the other party's mobile phone after being converted through the equipment of the service center.

However, the processing speed of the initial SMS service center was very slow. A $2 million SMS service center with 20 typists could only process 10 SMS per second. This processing speed is not enough.

In addition, there is a fatal disadvantage of mobile phone SMS, that is, at present, SMS can not be sent by text input through mobile phone.

If a user wants to send a text message, he needs to call the SMS service center to say what he wants to leave a message, then the SMS service center inputs it into the device through the computer, and finally forwards it into text and send it to the mobile phone.

Simply put, this is not the short message function, but the function of BB machine.

The reason why mobile phones can't input text by themselves is the problem of input method.

Not that mobile phone manufacturers can't design input methods, but can't install them on mobile phones.

After all, a language involves a large number of words, and an input method needs to put all these words into the library, which will inevitably form a huge database.

There were at least a dozen MB. At that time, the capacity of the mobile phone was only a few hundred KB. It was impossible to accommodate such a huge database.

More importantly, the industry does not pay attention to SMS. Why use SMS for things that can make a phone call? Isn't typing troublesome?

So the development of SMS is very fast. Even many of the latest mobile phones have no SMS function at all. After all, if you want short message function, you must add input function to the mobile phone.

But now, in the mouth of boss Jia, their Daqian 3 mobile phone will completely change the current situation of the whole SMS function.

First of all, Daqian 3 mobile phone has the short message processing function of up to 99 characters.

Secondly, Daqian has developed input methods for 12 major national languages, including Chinese input methods, so that all users can easily type all the words of a country through more than a dozen keys of the mobile phone.

Although the speed of big characters will be much slower than that of the computer, they can all be typed.

All Daqian 3 mobile phones will be prefabricated with two different input methods: Chinese input method and English input method. In addition, according to different countries, the mobile phones sold will also be free of the text input method in the selling area.

Of course, there are still many languages and characters in the world that are not within the scope of these 12 countries, but the population of those countries is very small. There is no need for Daqian to specially develop the corresponding input method and make do with the use of English input method.

This is the problem to be solved on the mobile terminal, followed by the interactive terminal. First, the CDMA base station jointly launched by Daqian and Warwick has efficient SMS processing capacity, which can greatly reduce the processing and computing requirements of the service center.

Secondly, it is because there is no need to manually input text in the service center. In addition, the new SMS Service Center launched by Warwick has improved the computing power, which can increase the processing speed of SMS by 10 times again, from 100 SMS per second to 1000 SMS per second. In this way, 8.64 million SMS can be processed every day.

It is enough for a city to have such a short message processing center.

Boss Jia excitedly described the breakthrough of SMS function to all customers on the stage, but the audience was not as enthusiastic as before, and some people even showed disdain.

The reason is very clear. That is, the short message function is generally not favored in the industry. There are phones. You can say things clearly when you call. Why do you need to type?

Moreover, it is not reliable to input text and send text messages on the mobile phone than before. Before, users only need to speak, and service personnel will turn them into text to send, which is relatively simple.

Now texting requires users to type by themselves, which is even less humanized. How can it be welcomed by users?

So the customers on the stage were very contemptuous of this service and said they were not optimistic about it.

Boss Jia doesn't care. Anyway, the future facts will prove how important SMS is for a mobile phone. After all, even in the future Internet 5g era, you also need SMS to send verification code.

"Finally, I believe you must be looking forward to the price of Daqian 3 mobile phones!" boss Jia smiled and calmed down.

Although the last SMS function is a little hip pulling, which is not a good function, the previous functions are strong enough. What price can Daqian mobile phones sell this time?

Will it continue the previous $1199 one?

This makes everyone look forward to it.

"This time, our Daqian 3 mobile phone will be sold in two different versions!" boss Jia said another news that surprised the audience.

"The two versions are Daqian 3 and Daqian 3mini"

"Daqian 3 mobile phone has all the functions as I just introduced, and the price is $999!" boss Jia paused, saw the surprised eyes under the stage, and then smiled "Daqian 3mini will be slightly smaller in size, and there is no TF card expansion function. The screen will maintain the level of Daqian 2. It can't run higher performance games, but it has SMS function and all other new functions. The price is $799!"

"What!" this time, everyone, including those who hid in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast, was stunned.

Daqian's latest mobile phone is $200 lower than the previous sale price, but they actually have a mini, which directly reduces the price of the mobile phone to $800!

Although compared with Daqian 3, mini lacks TF extension function and can't play those high-performance games, it has no impact on those non gamer users, and mini owns all the latest functions of flagship phones of other brands.

Plus the price of $799 a set, it's going to kill crazy!
