Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

Chapter 7: patent application

After 2048 was put on the shelves, Luo Fan was not idle, but started typing the code for listening to songs and recognizing songs.

I don't know if it's because of rebirth, or if I have returned to the most energetic age, Luo Fan feels that his fingers are more flexible than the previous life, his senses are more sensitive, and even his memory has improved, and the code he typed in his previous life. Luo Fan can reproduce it with just a little thought.

Knowing songs by listening to songs is not the same as some algorithms used in 2009. Originally, Luo Fan estimated that it would take about a week to reproduce the program of knowing songs by listening to songs.

As a result, it only took four days before and after, Luo Fan came up with this program.

In the past four days, Luo Fan did not deliberately avoid Cao Hongying and Luo Hai when he typed the code. When the two returned from the outside inspection, they could always see Luo Fan sitting in front of the computer, his fingers quickly tapping the keyboard, and the computer screen was Flickering in English they couldn't understand.

In 2009, Chinese people were generally not confident enough and had an inexplicable awe of English.

Cao Hongying is no exception. In her opinion, when it comes to English, what Luo Fan is doing must be very high-level, because he didn't ask much.

In this way, another week has passed, and Luo Fan's facial recognition is also done.

It is worth mentioning that Luo Fan's facial recognition is a new algorithm that will be launched a few years later. This algorithm is completely different from Sony's smile recognition, and there is no need to worry about any disputes.

"Dad, Mom, do you know where our city applies for a patent?" Luo Fan asked Luo Hai and Cao Hongying during lunch that day.

"Apply for a patent? Son, do you want to apply for a patent?"

"Well, I made some small things on the computer in the past half month."

"What is worth patenting?"

"This is not very easy to explain, you must have a smartphone to display it more intuitively."

"Smart phone? Is it the kind of phone with only one screen?" Cao Hongying asked after thinking for a while.

"Yeah, that's it."

"Can you see this phone?" Cao Hongying got up and took out a fully packaged iPhone 3 from her handbag and handed it to Luo Fan.

(ps: The iPhone 3 has not been sold in the mainland, but there are still many purchase channels, and everyone knows it. I really can’t say it here.)

"Where did Mom get this phone?" Luo Fan asked as he took the phone.

"Today we signed a contract with Majia Village and bought the land. This is one of the gifts that Majia Village gave us to thank us," said Luo Hai, who had been eating noodles all the time.

"Bought it? How much did it cost?"

"5.7 million."

"Dad, you don't have a factory anymore?" Luo Fan asked tentatively.

"Let's put it aside for now! It's not that easy for foreign businessmen to find new partners. He even called me yesterday to ask about the situation!"

"I haven't found a new partner for so long? Dad, isn't everyone else not so optimistic about this foreign project?" Luo Fan took the opportunity to apply a wave of eye drops again.

Luo Hai was stunned when he heard the words, but he didn't think about it, but after hearing Luo Fan's words, Luo Hai's heart swelled. What about the two partners?

Luo Fan saw that Luo Hai was lost in thought, and didn't say anything more, it was too much.

Luo Fan buried his head and finished eating a large bowl of fried noodles, then went to the study with his mobile phone.

Speaking of which, this was Luo Fan's first time using an iPhone.

Luo Fan has never used an iPhone in his previous life. His first mobile phone was the Nokia 5230 he bought when he was in college, but this phone should not have been released yet.

Luo Fan remembered that the Nokia 5230 seemed to be released shortly after their city announced the development of the Beicheng District, probably in mid-to-late August.

This 5230 accompanied Luo Fan for 4 years, until he got the first month's salary after graduating from college and then changed to Xiaomi Mi 2s.

Luo Fan's Xiaomi Mi 2s has been released with Xiaomi Mi 6 before it was replaced by Xiaomi Mi 6.

On Double 11 in 2019, Luo Fan changed to the 1+7por, which was known as the Android King at the time, and he used this phone until Luo Fan was reborn.

After playing with the iPhone 3 for a while, Luo Fan connected the phone to the computer, and then installed the applet for listening to songs, recognizing songs and facial recognition into the phone, and connected to the free song resources on the Internet.

Then Luo Fan came out with his mobile phone and started to demonstrate these two small programs.

At the beginning, Luo Hai also disapproved of the program developed by Luo Fan, thinking that it was a child's petty trouble.

But when Luo Hai saw that Cao Hongying sang a few random songs, the phone could find out what her song was, and then realized that the program Luo Fan made seemed to be quite powerful.

Since it was useful, Luo Hai naturally would not neglect it, and quickly contacted a wave of his friends and asked where to apply for a patent.

That afternoon, Luo Hai took Luo Fan to the State Intellectual Property Office.

Luo Fan declared according to the invention patent. The application fee is 900 yuan, the total cost of patent registration, printing and printing is 205 yuan, and the substantive examination fee is 2,500 yuan.

As soon as the process was completed, Luo Hai helped to pay the money, and Luo Fan's patent entered the examination stage, and the results were generally available within a week.

(ps: This part of the patent is all data on the Internet, and face recognition in the United States is prohibited. I don’t know if I should write an international patent.)

After completing the patent application, Luo Fan breathed a sigh of relief. These two patents should be passed, and he has the capital to lie down.

The application scope of listening to songs and recognizing songs is relatively narrow. Facial recognition will be a large-scale app after 18 years. At that time, it is estimated that the licensing fee alone will have a small target for one year.

Of course, there is still some time before 18 years, and it will take a few years to lie down.

And anyway, Luo Fan is also a reborn person, how can he lie down so easily? Still have to jump around a bit.

This patent is just the first step in the jump.

No, this should be the second step, the first step is 2048.

Speaking of 2048, Luo Fan has been busy typing codes for facial recognition and listening to songs these days. He has long forgotten about 2048, and has never looked at the sales performance of 2048.

Now thinking of 2048, Luo Fan quickly turned on his phone and searched the store.

I don’t know if I don’t search it, but I was startled by a search. There are already more than 6,000 people paying for 2048.

$0.99 per person for 6,000 people is $5,940. Now the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese currency is 1 to 7. After all taxes are thrown away, Luo Fan can get at least 25,000 of the 30% of the 30% that Apple's official draws.
