After entering 2015, the discussion on the mobile reading industry is getting hotter. The author had previously asked when chatting with friends. The key to the future competition of the mobile reading industry is where many of my friends talked about their own opinions. Some of them said that they were content, some said that they were trying to cultivate users' reading habits, and some said that It is in the form of multimedia presentations. Everyone has their own reasons, but the author believes that the key to the future of the mobile reading industry is whether the supporting capabilities of the mobile reading service provider's IT system are strong. This includes document conversion, copyright management, data processing, media display, and mass data. Distribution and many other capabilities.
This conclusion can also be drawn from the author's recent visit to a domestic mobile phone reading service provider - palm reading technology. Before the visit, I also shared the view of other people that mobile reading is only a general mobile application. Therefore, the number of employees in mobile reading companies should not be very large. As a result, they only know that they have 300 Many employees, including technology developers, have more than 100 people.
Why do you need so many technical developers? Originally, Palm Read spent a lot of effort to display mass books on the mobile reading platform. It has developed customer service response systems, book resource monitoring systems, typesetting production systems, document conversion identification systems, copyright management systems, and operations. Systems, data mining systems, etc., as well as the core mobile phone typesetting engine, this engine supports graphics and text, integration of multimedia (including video, animation, sound, etc.) show, currently palm reading has introduced more than 10,000 books in the form of multimedia .
The development of such a large number of IT systems is mainly due to the day-to-day operation of 350,000 copies of genuine books, including payment statistics, copyright renewal, and complaint handling. These tasks are only handy and must be powerful. System support can be dealt with calmly.
For example, the goal of Palm Reading is to build a one-million-level palm library, which contains all kinds of books and materials, and it will also cover books in all areas of society and even in various historical periods. Before the advent of digital media, there was no vectorization or streaming document format in history. This requires a document conversion recognition system to help.
In order to ensure that there is no case of copyright disputes in hundreds of thousands of books, a powerful copyright management system is needed to promptly indicate the copyright term and renewal. At the same time, how to select the most suitable books for readers from hundreds of thousands of books is also a very vexing problem and requires a complete data mining system.
From this point of view, in order to maintain the distribution of hundreds of thousands of digitally-published content, it is necessary to implement a comprehensive and effective system. In order to cope with the perfect digitization of books in the coming years and going back decades, more IT systems are also needed to provide support.
Therefore, it is not difficult to elaborately arrange a book and distribute it on the bookstore. It is difficult to organize and distribute hundreds of thousands of books and even millions of books.
In the planning of Palm Reading, future people's palm libraries can be searched intelligently. For example, if you want to search for "philosophy", it is not necessarily a book whose title contains the keyword "philosophy". It is that all books related to philosophy need to be presented and presented with certain weights. This will allow many human intelligence buried in the paper to be tapped by more people. The core of this is the strong support of IT systems. .
