Have received many emails and private letters, said that he had a very good idea, can I increase billions of revenue, and are willing to sell us cheap. This I either did not reply or encouraged him to apply for a patent, not to waste such a good idea, in fact, is to allow the Patent Office to refuse him. In short not to know what ideas against future co-operation other nonsense I was stealing his business secrets and the like.
Good ideas, be sure to share with others, only approved people, illustrate the idea mark. People who really make money, must be the first to do it and did a good one, but not necessarily the one who first thought of the idea. It is difficult to confirm who was the first person to think of this idea, and it is not important, because that's easier, but hard to do.
Cite a real example, easy to say, hard to do.
The end of 2013, when we first made bracelets, we think, a very good idea: since the bracelet can detect sleep, sleep can automatically turn off the lights. Discussion on the idea at that time and many of my colleagues, we are very fond of, many wonder which is the combination of technology and the feelings, so I get to invest a lights company, promote the bracelet and the light of the interaction at the beginning is progressing smoothly.
But the reality is, up to now, 1.5 years later, bracelets sold millions of, bedside lamps on the market, this feature has not been made out. I analyze the reasons.
Hand loop detected the user fall asleep, you tell the lights that turn off the lights, it's just a description of the product manager of arts.
If it is a technical product manager, will try to refine: Givenchy iPhone 6 plus cover
A) bracelet algorithms running on the polysomnography, sleep is detected, send beacon (Bluetooth radio);
B) bedside lamp has been receiving beacon, once you receive hand made out of beacon, just turn off the lights;
C) beacon format is xxx-xxx-xxx.
From a technical point of view, this done, really hard, and there are many pits.
Didn't think before there are two problems: Givenchy iPhone 6 Plus cases
1) bracelet and mobile phone in design is to keep the Bluetooth connection, while keeping the Bluetooth connection is not made of beacon;
2) bracelets sleep monitoring is not in real time, as the original design is calculated when synchronization. In order to solve both problems, bracelets team did a lot of development work, in single-mode again when they realized the connect Bluetooth to send broadcasts; sleep algorithm you spent several months and development also changed a lot of bug, many users have complained about bracelet, inaccurate data, and also has a lot to do with the development work.
This function, test it is hard.
Sleep turn off the lights, how simple things, but how to test? What is sleep? How to simulate sleep state, we can't just get in bed all the time? And not to sleep: sleep. All engineers to mess up the bracelet.
You can imagine the scene, several young engineers, in order to debug a sleep monitoring algorithm, whether it's really sleeping, still pretending to be asleep, or simulating someone else sleep, feeling a little strange.
Technology is OK, just a fraction of trans-regional cross-team collaboration is a more difficult problem.
Bracelet team in Hefei, a bedside lamp team in Qingdao, we can only email and phone communication. Most critical is the beacon agreement is here, we all know that engineers have a trait, as long as discussion is technology, it must be argued that Huff, especially the time to discuss the agreement, there will be no results. Final agreement.
Entrepreneurial team is one man when the two men, both teams have more pressing things for themselves, causes do not always find the right time to develop this feature. Especially when the two teams for this emphasis is not the same thing. Both millet chain brothers team, we have many shared values, not cooperation. If two completely separate companies, probably broke up, in reality this often happens, announced with everyone, had done nothing after a marketing campaign.
Midea air conditioning strong inserts.
Sleep turn off the lights, is very simple, manufacturers easy publicity, user easy to understand, but the actual use is not easy to perceive. Why is not easy to perceive, because after sleeping off less light, when off, users have no idea, just not wake up when the light is turned on, users will see no difference. For so long I haven't done, we shake, also have been thinking about, this function will be a gimmick?
Until one day, when cooperation and midea air conditioner, find each other very seriously is this function. American air conditioning in hopes to be able to interact with the bracelet, fell asleep so users can tweak a little higher temperature, so as to help the user save electricity. Power is really a user needs, not gimmicks, so we just made up my mind to do it. And then discovered that others came up with the same idea, not only we can think of.
With all that said, I do not know when will this feature be officially listed, in short, is continuing research and development. Work things out to be harder than I thought, of course, difficult to do, because the cattle are blown out.
