My Age of Investment

  Chapter 380 Full touch screen (seeking monthly pass)

   "Darren, after getting your reminder, we found someone to inquire about Apple secretly."

  Speaking of this, Andy Robin helped the glasses on his nose, and continued to preach with a solemn expression: "They are really developing a big project, it should be a mobile phone."

  Sears took out a paper, held it up and introduced: “This is a “multi-touch screen patent” filed by Apple in April, which specifically refers to a touch panel with a transparent sensing medium.

  It is used to detect simultaneous multi-touch or proximity touch at different positions on the touch panel, and is generated for each touch in the multi-touch, indicating different signals of the touch position on the touch panel..."

  The technical terms of the patent are very convoluted, and Xia Jingxing directly asked Sears to hand over the documents.

  After getting the file, Xia Jingxing took a closer look. This is commonly known as "multi-touch."

  "Is there a way to circumvent this patent?"

  After asking, Xia Jingxing found that he had asked this question a little amateurishly. If it could be circumvented, Apple, Google, and Microsoft would not have filed so many patent lawsuits in the past.

   "It's hard to get around!"

  Andy Rubin shook his head first, then said: "The best way is that we also invent a patent and exchange licenses with Apple."

  Xia Jingxing frowned. Is this forcing himself to preemptively register the patent for the circular Home button?

  This patent is a kind of appearance patent, which is very disgusting.

  Using a sentence from the previous life to describe: a round-shaped defendant by Apple, an oval-shaped defendant by Meizu, a rectangular rectangular defendant by Motorola, a square-shaped defendant by Motorola, and a virtual button by Sony...

  What shape do you want to make?

  Heart, sickle, trapezoid, irregular shape.

  Xia Jingxing asked Andy Rubin to continue. The latter nodded and continued: "According to your proposal, we gave up the keyboard design and adopted a full touch screen design.

  Some mobile phones currently on the market use resistive screens that support single-point touch.

  And we plan to use a capacitive screen, the accuracy is lower than that of a resistive screen, but it can be multi-touch..."

  At this time, a single-touch mobile phone has been born on the market, and it is also equipped with a stylus, which can be pulled out of the body and poke a little bit on the screen.

  Compared with multi-touch, it can touch a larger area with your fingers.

  Users can perform single-point touch with both hands, or touch the screen with different gestures such as single-click, double-click, pan, press, scroll, and rotate.

  If you want to play games, or play video and audio, the experience difference between the two is very big.

  The reason why Apple feels like a black technology after its launch is that the fruit ninja’s multi-touch operation like cutting melons and vegetables directly smashed the user’s mind.

  The shock that this brings is indeed epoch-making, and it also leads the development trend of smart phones.

  After Andy Robin finished speaking, he did not forget to add: "Although we have not yet come up with mature technology, I firmly believe that Darren's design direction is correct."

  Xia Jingxing said, "Have you all seen the design drawings I took out?"

  All three nodded. This happened shortly after Android was acquired.

  Before the acquisition, Xia Jingxing kept hiding and did not come up with the concept map of the mobile phone.

  Until the dust settled, the design drawing of the full touch screen mobile phone was taken out.

  Furthermore, Xia Jingxing's drawings are very rich, including appearance design drawings, interface design drawings, and even some functional realization logic diagrams.

  After getting the drawings at that time, including Andy Rubin, all the technicians, one of them counted as one, and they were all shocked.

Whether    can be realized, let’s talk about it.

   But in terms of the avant-garde design, it is a lot beyond the times, and it surpasses the original design of Andy Rubin and others.

  Their original design still retains several buttons at the bottom of the screen, such as the answer button, the home button, the home button, the return button, and the hang up button.

   But compared with the full touch screen, it does look a bit ugly, or lacks a sense of technology.

  They don’t know what the mobile phone developed by Apple looks like, but as far as the mobile phone concept map proposed by Xia Jingxing is concerned, if the above functional ideas can be realized one by one, it will definitely give a dimensional reduction to the current mobile phones on the market.

  In these days, the Andy Rubin team has done nothing other than expanding the manpower. They have been trying to figure out how to build such a mobile phone all day long.

   "Touch screen technology patent, which one shouldn't it belong to?"

Xia Jingxing, a layman, once again exposed his unprofessionalism in the electronics industry.

  Chris White smiled and shook his head, “Don’t worry about that. In 1965, Johnson invented the first finger touch screen.

  In 1970, Dr. Samuel Hirst in the United States invented the first resistive touch sensor.

  In 1993, IBM produced the world’s first phone equipped with a touch screen-IBM Simon.

  In addition to using mobile phones, supermarkets, stations, and banks all use a large number of touch screens.

  This technology is almost equivalent to publicity, but no one or any group has come out to swear an oath to have sovereignty over this technology. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, and then said again: "Now Apple has taken a step ahead of us, and we must also come up with mature technology as soon as possible.

  Don’t wait until Apple sells mobile phones publicly, we are still spinning around in the lab. "

  Andy Rubin thinks this deeply, "Jobs is a terrible person, and his mind is always filled with all kinds of fantastic ideas.

  However, we don’t have to be afraid of him.

  It is with such opponents that I feel more motivated to work. "

  Until now, Xia Jingxing has not seen Jobs.

  Like the heads of the three giants of Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, he is considered to have dealt with.

   However, even if he does not deal with Jobs, Xia Jingxing knows that the other party is a person who pursues extremeism and perfectionism.

  People like this are naturally suitable for products.

  "Dalun, when will the mobile phone brand you mentioned be launched?"

  Sears has never forgotten, the boss said that he still wants to be a mobile phone brand, but after so long, he has not seen any movement.

  Hearing this, the other two also turned their eyes to Xia Jingxing.

  This mobile phone brand undertakes the important task of promoting the Android system and making the first shot.

   "How easy is it to find a mobile phone manufacturer. You have to take out the first Android phone before I can set up the supply chain and follow the production?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, she is not in a hurry, the Androids are in a hurry.

  He waved his hand, “Even if I launch a mobile phone brand now, I can’t produce smartphones, I can only produce functional phones on the market.

  However, the current feature phone market has long been separated from their respective market shares.

  Even if we launch our own brand, we cannot get any special advantages. "

   "It's good to accumulate industry experience?" Sears continued.

   "Too low-end, easy to be labeled by others; too high-end, and can not sell."

  Xia Jingxing has seriously considered that now is not a good time to launch a mobile phone brand, we can do preparatory work, but the first mobile phone has to be equipped with Android.

  In order to comfort the hearts of the people, Xia Jingxing said a few more words.

   "Don't worry, I already know it in my heart, and I will start to focus on mobile phones recently, and it won't delay Android."

  Sears said: "If there is any problem, I still have contact with the executives of T-Mobile. It is okay to give them the first Android phone."

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "This is temporarily used as a backup plan!"

  Sears didn’t go to the boss to get in trouble, so he could explain his point of view clearly.

  Xia Jingxing remembers that the first Android phone, HTCG1, was customized by the US operator T-MobileUSA and manufactured by HTC (Hongda Electronics).

  But the road to cooperation is extremely difficult, and it was almost the Android that asked his father and grandmother to talk about it.

  However, HTC has gone lucky and completed the transformation from a foundry to an Android device.

  If you can do everything yourself, why bother to pretend to be grandson.

  No longer mentioning the mobile phone brand, Xia Jingxing talked with the three for a few hours around the development direction of the Android operating system, and determined the main general direction for the next.
