During the recent years, China’s digital publishing industry has attached more importance to the application of new technology, bringing about new effects and experience in the development of digital reading to citizens.
Modern Paper Book: creating new publishing mode A new publishing mode, Modern Paper Book, has been created by Wuhan University of Technology and several other publishers. The new mode enables readers to scan the QR code while reading a book to enjoy more value-added services. Meanwhile, after the codes are scanned, the system can obtain readers’ data, analyze their likes and help publishers provide knowledge and service for readers continuously. Artificial intelligence: an innovative solution for digital reading As one of the first 20 pilot publishers for convergence development, Migu Digital Media specializes in the real-time voice-to-text reading product, which is operated by machine and expected to replace manpower. Based on the AI big data processing, the product, Lingxi quick note, can transform voice into text in a real time manner, which enables on-site audio collection whenever a conference is held. Cloud borrowing machine: making digital reading a click away A cloud borrowing machine consists of two parts: a cloud network platform and a touch-screen terminal. The terminal is a 42-inch touch-screen machine that enables readers to download e-book into their mobile phone by scanning the correspondent QR codes. Equipped with WiFi, readers can download reading app and books without using mobile data. The machine that enables reading wherever there is a screen is a form of the wall-less digital library that opens 24/7, providing readers with up-to-date 500,000 text books and 300,000 audio books. |
