51 Apple's passive
"In the end, mobile phones are full screens, and Apple has begun to lay out full screens. Chen Ping'an said.
"Yes. Vincent Olconi said.
"Structured light recognition and ultrasonic under-display fingerprint are the two most important patents for full screens. Chen Ping'an said.
"Apple can bypass the ultrasound under-display fingerprint patent. Vincent Olconi said.
"You're referring to the optical under-screen fingerprint. Chen Ping'an said.
"Yes. Vincent Olconi said.
"Optical under-display fingerprint has many disadvantages, for example, optical under-screen fingerprint needs to turn on the screen to the highest brightness to illuminate the fingerprint when unlocking, and it needs to be improved in terms of recognition accuracy and security,...... These shortcomings are a step backwards for the user experience and unfriendly from the user's point of view.
Ultrasonic fingerprint technology does not have these shortcomings, and can cope with the unlocking environment under almost any soundscape, with higher accuracy. So, Apple's choice is clear at a glance. Chen Ping'an said.
"Apple has to get a patent for the ultrasonic under-display fingerprint, otherwise, Apple will either pay Qualcomm royalties or fight a cross-border lawsuit with Samsung, or a cross-border lawsuit with me. Chen Ping'an said.
By this time, Vincent Orconi had already made a purchase price of $12 million and had lost it to the Pacific.
$12 million is embarrassing.
Selling an Apple Qualcomm costs $25 in royalties.
If Qualcomm were to get a patent for an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint, Apple would have to pay Qualcomm at least $1 more.
Qualcomm will blackmail Apple to death.
If Apple sells 100 million full screens every year in the world.
Apple would have to pay an extra $100 million to Qualcomm.
For the first time, Vincent Orconi realized that it was hard to talk about.
The other party is not stupid.
Apple didn't really have a choice. Unless you give up the full screen.
Ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint, and optical under-screen fingerprint, choose one of the two, needless to say, Pingguo Company will choose the former.
Then, Apple faced the choice again, 1, if Qualcomm obtained the patent for the fingerprint under the ultrasound screen, Apple would pay Qualcomm at least $1 more in patent fees. Isn't it enough for Apple to be blackmailed by Qualcomm? The second option is to fight a cross-border lawsuit with Samsung, which is a nightmare. In a cross-border lawsuit with Chen Ping'an, Apple can't win. You can't win in the United States, and you can't win in China. Only the last one was chosen.
"Let's get started. Chen Ping'an said.
"Good. Vincent Olconi said.
"How much does Apple plan to spend to add these four patents to the patent pool. Chen Ping'an said.
"$180 million. Vincent Alconi said, "110 million patents for ultrasonic under-screen fingerprints, $40 million patents for three-color beamsplitting camera modules, $25 million patents for opposite-sex in-screen light sensors, and $5 million for managing user device connections." ”
Acquisition of these 4 patents. Apple has come up with several solutions.
$12 million... is the first scenario.
Obviously, $12 million is a joke for Chen Ping'an. It would also be embarrassing for Vincent Orconi.
Vincent Orconi came up with a second plan.
$180 million.
"I can ask you a question. Chen Ping'an said.
"Yes. Vincent Orconi had a bad feeling. Brain circuits of the other party.
"How much did Apple spend on the acquisition of Prime Sense in order to obtain structured light recognition. Chen Ping'an asked.
"$740 million. Vincent Olconi said.
"I doubt that Apple is willing to obtain a structured light recognition patent for $740 million, and the ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint patent is the two most important patents for the full screen in the future, without one, Apple is only willing to spend $110 million. Chen Ping'an said.
"In addition to obtaining a patent for structured light recognition, the $740 million also obtained more than a dozen technologies such as depth perception, motion capture cameras, and a company. Vincent Olconi said.
"If Prime Sense didn't have a structured light recognition patent, would Apple still be willing to buy it?" Chen said.
"No, it won't. Vincent Olconi said.
So, Apple is willing to buy a company at a premium to get a structured light recognition patent. In other words, Apple realized that structured light recognition is one of the most important patents for the full screen in the future. Mr. Alconi, the ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint is also one of the most important patents for the full screen in the future. Chen Ping'an said.
"Can I ask you another question?" Chen Ping'an said.
"If Qualcomm gets a patent for an ultrasound under-screen fingerprint. How much is Apple willing to pay Qualcomm royalties. Chen Ping'an said.
"$1. Vincent Olconi said.
"Well, if Apple sells 100 million full screens worldwide every year, it will have to pay Qualcomm $100 million in patent fees. 300 million in 3 years and 500 million in 5 years,。。。。 Qualcomm can also license this patent to other mobile phone manufacturers and collect royalties. $110 million is equivalent to a one-year patent fee paid to Qualcomm. If Apple is not sincere enough, let's talk about it. Chen Ping'an said.
"Okay, let's talk about it again. Vincent Olconi said.
Apple is at the end of the layout of the full screen.
Ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint is a patent that cannot be bypassed by the full screen.
Otherwise, there are only two options for fingerprint unlocking, or choose to use optical under-screen fingerprints, which have too many shortcomings and are extremely unfriendly to the user experience. Users will smash the Apple phone with the fingerprint under the optical screen.
Or, put the fingerprint unlock on the back of your phone. It's definitely not going to work. In the end, either give up the full screen. This means that Apple loses the end.
Even if Apple must, eagerly, and urgently, it's okay to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to obtain a patent for ultrasonic under-screen fingerprints. However, Vincent Orconi knew that he could not rush, otherwise he would be very passive if he continued to talk.
Moreover, the first and second options for patent acquisition have been scrapped, and Vincent Orconi is not ready to come up with a third option.
I have to talk to the headquarters.
This one is too hard to do. Not easy.
Apple is very passive.
The other party can sell the patent to Samsung, Qualcomm, or even Huawei.
Apple doesn't have a choice.
Chen Ping'an stood up and shook hands with Vincent Orconi.
……
Chen Ping'an is not in a hurry.
Apple is in a hurry.
Only 3 days passed.
Vincent Olconi asked Chen Ping'an to negotiate again.
Apple's strategy this time is to only acquire the ultrasound under-display fingerprint patent.
The other three patents are slowly grinded.
With Apple's impatient mentality, not only the ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint patent will be pitted, but the other three patents will also be pitted.
Compared with the ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint patent, the other three patents are not so impatient.
