Coquettish Rebirth

After handing over the contract to Olsen and letting the people in the company file it, Jia Hongjian heard a question from the old man, "Hey, kid, what do you think we should name our line technology? "

what name? "Isn't it called the 24ghz non-network closed protocol?" Jia Hongjian asked in surprise after thinking about the twisted name the old man said.He thought to himself, didn't the old man already have a good name, why should he choose a name?This isn't a mixed martial arts world, does it still need a nickname?

Just when Jia Hongjian was thinking this way, he heard the old man look around, and then said mysteriously, "Through my secret relationship, I heard that Ericsson and the others have already wooed Nokia. Next, Ericsson, Nokia, bm and Intel and Toshiba are about to form a team to develop their cable interface. It is said that Ericsson proposed that the name of this cable interface be called Bluetooth... You may not know this, but it comes from the name of a Danish king. The king likes to eat blueberries, so Teeth and gums have always been blue. But this king is very powerful, unifying Sweden, Denmark and Norway... They have such a name, of course we have to find a code to correspond to it, otherwise when consumers hear the code, they will be bluetooth , ours is a 24ghz non-networked closed protocol... Obviously bluetooth is easier to remember, right?"

Ah!This is where the name of Bluetooth comes from?When Jia Hongjian heard of Bluetooth for the first time in his previous life, he thought it had something to do with Blu-ray discs. What does it have to do with Blu-ray? Who told Jia Hongjian to know that the wireless technology before Bluetooth was infrared!Doesn't this red and one blue make people think of light?But listen to what the old man said.Jia Hongjian really wanted to give him a nickname, just like in Chinese, everyone calls the earphones of the line, either the bluetooth earphones, or the earphones of the cord, and there is absolutely no such thing as a 24ghzxxxxxx cord earphone!

This 24ghz thing is a technical standard, or it is for engineers, not for consumers.It is better in Chinese, because of the versatility of Chinese, many professional words can be seen by ordinary people.You can also probably know what it is about.But in English, if there are a few professional vocabulary, then ordinary people are really like reading the bible!For example, "oxygen", this person who can read but has different chemistry.Take a look at the word.Then you can roughly know that this thing is gas.Although I don't know the specific characteristics, but at least I know that it is a gas, and it probably has something to do with chemistry or something.But what about oxygen in English?That's "n".If a person who has never heard the word jehu before and does not have a dictionary at hand, how can he guess that this thing is oxygen, apart from being able to get a general idea of ​​how to pronounce the word?I don't even know if this thing is a gas or a radiation! [

From this point of view, if Chinese needs a "line" to refer to 24ghz, then obviously English also needs it. Otherwise, there is a non-network closed protocol or something. Foreigners may know every word, but they are not familiar with this stuff I have no idea what it is about!

The old man was still waiting for Jia Hongjian to think of a name. Jia Hongjian thought about it and felt that the name was really hard to choose!What to take?He is a Chinese, and he is familiar with Chinese history and allusions, but foreigners must not be familiar with it. Could it be that he takes "Qin Shihuang", and foreigners can know what it is at a glance?So after much deliberation, this is Jia Hongjian's footsteps. The bluetooth and red teeth are a bit too mysterious, so why not just call them "Xian"!Although the word "line" is not as literary and artistic as Bluetooth and red teeth, it is worse than being simple and easy to understand!Regardless of Chinese or foreigners, once you see this word, you will immediately know that this word does not use lines!

So if the Chinese is "line", the English should be "wreless", right?This is true according to the literal meaning, but to be honest, the word "wreless" made Jia Hongjian feel weak!Did you see it, there is a "less"! Less is a comparative, meaning "fewer", so if "wreless" is taken literally, it means "fewer lines", isn't it weak?People are Chinese, so a "line" came directly!This is similar to "enemy" yyng, which sounds concise and domineering, but the sound of "few lines" sounds a bit subdued, isn't it?It's not as good as a word like wf that has no meaning at all!

etc! wf?Although this is a vocabulary used by later generations as a line network, how about grabbing it and using it in their line technology now?As soon as he thought of this at the time, Jia Hongjian asked the old man directly, "What do you think of the word wf?"

"wf? Similar to audio hf?" Olson was surprised at the time. You must know that the word hf in the audio field is not a random word, but the abbreviation of two words hghfelty, which is " Short for High Fidelity! "If you use wf... it really gives people a feeling that this is also high-fidelity? You chose this word for this? At the same time, the sound coming out of the high-fidelity speaker is [line], through sound waves If it is transmitted to the human ear, then you also want consumers to associate with our concept of line through sound waves? At the same time, the anti-interference ability is still strong, which means high-fidelity, right? "

Hey!Jia Hongjian just said wf casually, the old man thinks so much?What else is similar to hf... As for it?But it’s also true. Many experts say that the interpretation of wf in later generations is wrelessfelty, that is, it is abbreviated as wf from hfyyng. As a result, the wf alliance said that there is no full name model at all!People didn't abbreviate the two words as wf at all, but wrote it as wf just to imitate hf, the full name is wf!

But anyway, it seems that the old man also likes this name. "This name is really good, wf, wf, really good! At that time, we will be wf to bluetooth, interesting!" Seeing the happy look of the old man, Jia Hongjian began to have a headache now, so he casually proposed a name of wf Name, but when others say wf mouse in later generations, will he feel weird?After all, the original wf is a wire network!But in fact, if you think about it, it is said that in the eee80211 standard that has just been formulated these years, their line application network area is also in the range of 24ghz. It is estimated that the wf and line mouse are originally using the same frequency range?No wonder the old man wants to strengthen various frequency conversion...

Thinking about it, even if Jia Hongjian and the others determined this wf as an official name of their own line communication standard, the next step was to go to Boston to register.This wf has not been preempted by anyone in this era, so as long as it waits for a few months for publicity, if there is no objection, this stuff will become one of the official product trademarks of ms company...

When Jia Hongjian and ms company were toying with this mysterious little yt machine, Professor Negroponte, a columnist of "Wired" magazine, wanted to chat with Jia Hongjian very much. Through Zhang Chaoyang, this "Digital Life "The author heard that Jia Hongjian had come to the United States, and seemed to be drumming up something, and his family became interested.Especially after knowing that Jia Hongjian was near Boston, the old man wanted to have a good chat with Jia Hongjian.

He still remembered that when he was chatting with Jia Hongjian before, Jia Hongjian's description of the Internet world and the world of the Internet of Things really opened the eyes of Professor Negroponte.And this Jia Hongjian made the development of Holmes Company all the way, that is, he began to slowly practice the road described by the Chinese.Now, Jia Hongjian is starting to tinker with new things again. Could this be some new product related to the Internet?Even if it is necessary, Professor Negroponte thinks that he can help to place "soft advertisements" in "Wired" magazine. He thinks that Jia Hongjian's creations must be very interesting and interesting, and as a column Reporter, report it, that's normal!

Soon, this Professor Negroponte got in touch with Jia Hongjian. After knowing that Jia Hongjian was in a small town near Boston, the professor found a weekend and drove directly to the town in person, wanting to find out the secrets. Let's take a look at what Jia Hongjian is developing!

When the professor met Jia Hongjian, he obviously found that Jia Hongjian was more mature than three years ago. Wait...why is there a familiar old man standing next to Jia Hongjian?This old man seems to be Ken Olson from e!How did these two get mixed up?Could it be...the two of them want to cooperate?

Professor Negroponte knew it. Although Ken Olsen was not optimistic about Sherlock Holmes, it was the first time in history that this old man added network work to the existence of computers!So, if Jia Hongjian and Olsen were working on something together, could it be a computer hardware with some special network application built in?Will some new network platform accelerate business efficiency?All of a sudden, this Professor Negroponte really had a wild imagination!

It's really not his fault, who made Jia Hongjian an Internet geek in his heart, even in the hearts of Americans, and this geek is more manifested in software and platforms.Plus, Olsen is another eccentric hardware geek!So these two geeks got together, what consequences would that have?Usually people must think of the combination of the two good places!
