Chapter 383: Jobs' Heart Breaks Again
It was Jobs, and he was a little surprised, but it seemed to be good. Look at his attitude towards himself, very kind.
"Apple is committed to providing best-in-class products to its users. Last year, due to the production capacity of Xinhuo Technology, we were unable to reach a cooperation on the procurement of iPod flash memory. Today, I heard that Mr. Gu announced the news of a breakthrough in DDR4 technology, and I rushed here as soon as possible. There is a huge demand for Apple's PCs in this area, and I think we should talk about cooperation. ”
Jobs was quite straight to the point, but Gu Song was looking at him seriously.
For Steve Jobs, not to mention other prejudices, he was the one who actually changed the world.
And the reason why Gu Song looked at him at this moment was because of ...... If you follow the normal timeline, it seems that Jobs will only live for more than five years.
The work he poured his heart to, the work that would have changed the world, the first-generation iPhone, will not be released until January next year.
And now, he sat in front of Gu Song, trying to learn about the rover's smartphone.
Yes, although what he said was talking about 3D flash memory and DDR4, Gu Song knew very well that at this moment, only smartphones were worth rushing over immediately.
Jobs was a little uncomfortable by Gu Song's eyes.
Fortunately, Gu Song finally smiled and said: "The production capacity of Xinhuo Technology's flash memory will increase this year, but you may have heard that the rover is ready to enter the field of smart phones." Therefore, there is not much to sell the 3D flash memory of Xinhuo Technology. ”
Jobs continued to ask very directly: "I heard Mr. Gu's description of the new generation of smartphones, and to be honest, it is very moving. I can't wait to see what kind of product this is. ”
Gu Song looked at him, and originally wanted to excuse himself and said that it would be revealed when the press conference came. But he was suddenly relieved when he thought of the series of patent applications that had been arranged in the past three years.
For a very well-defined component like 3D flash memory, the patent boundaries are very clear. However, for a terminal product such as a smartphone, which integrates a vast number of components, it involves a large number of patents.
It's like a capacitive touch screen, which can be used when purchased. But how to use it, that's the level of the algorithm. Multi-touch based on an algorithm is a patent. If you want to use it, you can buy an authorization. If you don't want to buy a license, then develop a new algorithm yourself. Throwing money, manpower, and time.
After Gu Song finished the college entrance examination as early as the summer of 02, he sorted out the technical information required for the various core patents involved in the smartphone.
In the past three years, Jian Yushu has been applying for patents in batches in a planned manner according to the schedule he gave.
So he knows what Jobs cares about right now. He wanted to know some of the key breakthroughs in the Rover's smartphone, but he was also worried about a patent dispute with the iPhone.
So he decided to speak out and let his rhythm get upset.
"I've always admired Apple's innovative spirit in electronics, and I'd love to talk to you. When it comes to the rover's smartphone, you're the first person outside of the R&D team to know some key details. I'd like to hear your opinion. ”
After Gu Song finished speaking, he whispered mysteriously: "The rover mobile phone will have no physical keyboard, and we have adopted the technical idea of pure touch screen on a very excellent screen. ”
Jobs's heart was shaken.
He is not a person who is good at hiding his heart and the depths of the city, Gu Song looked at his expression in his eyes, and then said, "Very good idea, right?"
“…… Yes, yes......" Jobs nodded a little hard. Apple has also filed a patent for multi-touch in 05, and now I don't know if it's the same solution, and then whether the other party applied for it first and whether it has been completed.
According to the regulations of different regions, the same patent is granted to whom, some of them are based on the principle of first filing the application, and some are based on the principle of first completing the invention.
In the past three years, Flint Group has really fought a lot of lawsuits around patent issues.
Like the issue of Longtech's U disk patent back then, it was later settled, and Longtech finally formulated a licensing fee standard that conforms to market rules.
The patent of 3D flash memory has not been disputed because it has completed a full range of licenses with Toshiba.
But there is really a lot of controversy around DAC chips, streaming media technology, and so on.
In particular, Huaguo Menghua Technology's Weibo, Penguin's Facebook, and Wange's Haokan all have international versions, and they have set up servers abroad. One of the core foundations of Monttalk Technology is to build a global network of data centers. There is a lot of controversy between the data center and other competitors about patents in terms of hardware architecture and software systems, optimization technology, and so on.
Gu Song is used to it, and Jobs is also used to it.
But the information revealed in this is that the roamer's mobile phone, as he thinks, is likely to be the same as the iPhone, or even more advanced.
He was half curious, half genuinely wondering, and asked sincerely, "Are there any other big innovations?"
"Of course!" Gu Song took a sip of coffee, "In addition to supporting 3G, having a very good lens and image processor, excellent sound quality, and large-capacity storage, we have a chip with strong performance and very low energy consumption, which is enough to greatly improve the battery life of smartphones." Therefore, we don't think it's necessary to think about battery replacement. It's an all-in-one like an iMac. ”
Jobs felt his mouth dry, and he drank water: "...... It's bold!"
"Yes, but I think a great product should lead the way. So, we have a very bold innovation. Gu Song said with a smile, "The operating system of the rover will be amazing, and we will provide one on the phone, well, how to say, the app store." We provide developers with a software development kit that allows them to implement their ideas based on the capabilities of the rover's phone. In the app store, users can decide for themselves which additional apps to add to their phones. Of course, we will provide some demonstrations, such as games, and ...... Weibo. ”
Despite drinking the water, Jobs' voice still seemed a little dry, and he said, "...... A great idea indeed. Hopefully, it won't be as difficult as the application development of the Symbian system. ”
"Of course not. You don't need to post your work on a website, let users download it and install it on their smartphone via PC. Everything is done in the phone. Gu Song has been happy, "Moreover, the operating system of the rover will be a very interesting system, providing a very interesting way to interact." You know, I think the addition of sensors like gravity sensors, gyroscopes, light sensors, distance sensors, temperature sensors, and position sensors to mobile phones is smart enough to provide quite a lot of imaginative application scenarios. ”
After he finished speaking, he drank coffee and watched Jobs' reaction.
It's a bit cruel to be honest, watching a genius be upset by a product he created, and may even be defeated and defeated.
However, if you go back to the past in this way, you have to fight for your destiny.
