Ukususela kwiimvavanyo zokuqala zokusebenza zenziwe esidlangalaleni U-Viv ubonakalise ukuba unamandla ngakumbi kwaye unobuchule bokuncedisa umntu kunoSiri. Enyanisweni, esinye sezizathu zokuba abadali beSiri bashiye inkampani, emva kokuthengwa kwayo yi-Apple, yayiyindlela ebekwe yi-Apple ye-Siri, indlela eyahluke kakhulu kwinto ababenayo abadali bayo. Ukufumana kwakhona, le minyaka mithathu idlulileyo bebesebenza kwiViv, ethi ngokwemithombo yeendaba ezikhethekileyo ngoyena mncedisi onobukrelekrele bokwenziwa ngoku kwimarike.
Ngokutsho kweTechCrunch, inkampani yaseKorea Isamsung isandula ukufumana iViv ukuze iyidibanise kwizixhobo zayo ezilandelayo. Okwangoku asazi ukuba ingakanani i-Samsung eya kube ihlawule ukufumana i-Viv, kodwa kuthathelwa ingqalelo ukuba i-Apple ihlawule i-200 yezigidi zeedola ngo-2010 ukufumana i-Siri, ixabiso lesivumelwano linokuba phezulu. Okwangoku, iViv iya kuqhubeka isebenza njengenkampani ezimeleyo enikezela ngale nkonzo kuzo zonke izixhobo zenkampani apho lo mncedisi wobukrelekrele uphunyezwayo.
Yintoni eyenza iViv ibe ngumncedisi ophuculweyo xa kuthelekiswa noSiri kukuba idibanisa nezicelo zomntu wesithathu kunye neenkonzo, into i-Apple ngoku sele iqalile ukuyivumela ngokufika kwe-iOS 10. NgeViv sinokucela i-smartphone yethu ukuba ithumele i-Uber kwindawo yethu, iodole i-pizza yesizini ezine, igcine itafile kwi-Rte Manolete ... konke ngaphandle kokuba nayo. Ukuvula isicelo nanini na.
Ukuze kuqhutywe le projekthi, abaqulunqi beViv baye bafumana inkxaso-mali kwiinkampani ezahlukeneyo ezifana noFacebook, Google kunye neTwitter. Ngokuchanekileyo UFacebook noGoogle bebenomdla kulo mncedisi kodwa uthethathethwano ngentengiso alwanelisi nakweliphi na iqela. I-TechCrunch iqhagamshelane noSekela Mongameli we-Samsung uJacopo Lenzi owathi iViv inokuba nefuthe elithe ngqo ngaphezu kwecandelo leselula le-Samsung:
Oku kukufumana okujolise kulwahlulo lweselula, kodwa siyawabona amathuba okudibanisa iViv kwezinye izixhobo esizenzayo. Ngokwembono yethu kunye nembono yomxhasi, umdla kunye namandla obu bulumko bokwenziwa businika inzuzo ebalulekileyo ngaphezu kwabanye abakhuphisana nabo, ukongeza inzuzo phezu kwabo.
IViv ayizukudityaniswa kuphela kwizixhobo eziphathwayo, kodwa I-Samsung inokuzidibanisa nezixhobo zasekhaya eyenza ukuba ikwazi ukulawula oomabonakude kunye naziphi na ezinye izixhobo ezinokulawulwa ngolu hlobo ngokusebenzisa imiyalelo yelizwi.
Ukufunyanwa kweViv yi-Samsung kunika inkampani yaseKorea inzuzo ngaphezu kwabanye abavelisi be-Android, ngakumbi kuthathelwa ingqalelo ukuba uMncedisi kaGoogle uya kufumaneka kuphela kwiitheminali zePixel eziveliswe yinkampani kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, ubuncinci okwangoku. Ngaphaya koko, ukuthengwa kweViv kukuvumela ukuba uqhubeke nokunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kuGoogle ukongeza ekunikeni ithuba lokuqalisa ukuphumeza lo mncedisi eTizen, zombini kwinguqulelo yee-smartphones kunye nenguqulelo yee-smartwatches.
