Ling Shizhe's openness to computer camera-related technology has not caused a huge sensation in the media as everyone imagined, and everyone around the world knows it, but in the camera industry, and it has caused a great sensation, many camera giants in the world have sent people to talk about cooperation, they all know how huge the market will be in the future of this computer camera, the traditional camera is manual, the operation is troublesome, many people are because of these complex and cumbersome operations rejected the camera, and now they are all gone, just a light press, all done, and the image quality is quite good, although it is not as good as a professional camera, but it is enough for ordinary people.

As a result, the camera market will be expanded to the extreme, and now Ambrera will develop computer camera-related technology, if you don't act quickly, sign a contract, and circle more territory earlier, what else do you have to wait for.

Since the advent of Ling Shizhe's camera, one has been placed on the desk of the presidents of major camera giants, and a group of experts have dismantled it to conduct a comprehensive analysis, and the analysis report was quickly sent to the president's desk.

Camera lenses, architecture these are not unusual, simple can not be simple, ultrasonic motor, IS anti-shake lens, technically nothing remarkable, the key is to rely on this creativity and application of whimsy, when those camera giants of the camera experts, found that the computer camera lens of these two creative parts of the application, it is like piercing a window paper, soon thought that this idea can be used on the lens of a professional camera, to make a professional SLR lens with ultrasonic and anti-shake function, Soon they discovered that this technology for professional SLR lenses with ultrasonic motors and IS stabilization lenses is not so simple, it is much more complex than point-and-shoot cameras, and it is not something that can be done in a while.

Indeed, the idea of ultrasonic motors was put forward in the 70s in history, but it was not until the era of digital cameras that ultrasonic motors in the real sense were made, and now the technology of electronic components does not meet that requirement. The ultrasonic motor in the computer camera is just designed by Ling Shizhe with reference to the ultrasonic motor of the digital card machine of the later generations, that thing is to put it bluntly, it is a clever and gimmick to take the ultrasonic motor technology, but this ingenious is very exquisite, and the experts of this era can not see it, thinking that Ling Shizhe is full of genius creativity in the ultrasonic motor and IS anti-shake technology.

But soon Ling Shizhe's status was given to Taiwan, and he was considered an authority in the technology and anti-shake technology of ultrasonic motors for professional cameras, because in the patent search, they soon found patents for ultrasonic motors and anti-shake lenses specially used for professional camera lenses, and there were physical objects.

These two component devices, is when Ling Shizhe designed the ultrasonic motor and anti-shake lens of the computer camera, I know that once the camera is on the market, those camera giants will realize that they want to transplant this idea to the professional camera lens, if they are the first to succeed, and then enter the digital age, he will be passive, the future is the world of single-lens reflex digital machines, and the card machine is only a niche, so he designed a real ultrasonic motor and anti-shake components for single-lens reflex camera lenses, and the patent was preemptively registered.

This motor is the ultrasonic motor and anti-shake technology of the later generations of Canon, which he made out in advance, but due to the hardware limitations of the current electronic component technology, it cannot be made as small as the later generations, his volume is very large, the size of a coffee table, and now it cannot be installed in the SLR lens, only when the progress of technology reaches the conditions.

Ling Shizhe doesn't plan to engage in a film SLR machine, but a DSLR digital machine must not be given up.

In the report, there is also a key photoelectric sensor glass, which is a piece of glass that has reached the gem level, and it is also very ingenious in process design, which can greatly improve and beautify the imaging quality, but when used in professional cameras, it is simply chicken ribs, it is better not to use it.

The real high-tech content is that the two processors on the computer board are the real core, and there is a memory chip database, all kinds of image data are stored in the database in advance, and the relevant data will be automatically called out when used, to improve the imaging quality, in the future, with the improvement of storage chip technology, the capacity is getting larger and larger, and more image data can be stored in it, which is greatly convenient for consumers.

Although this camera is a camera for ordinary people, many of its concepts are only available on advanced digital cameras in later generations, and they all appear on this camera, which can be said to be not low in technology at all, and has a high technical threshold, among which Ling Shizhe has established a lot of patent barriers and patent traps, and it is difficult for those camera manufacturers to step into this industry.

When the computer camera was put on the market, after the initial cold, now more and more people choose the computer camera, and their own camera sales are declining, the camera giants know that the future is the era of the computer camera, there is an unimaginably huge market. It's a pity that in the face of the various patent fortresses and patent traps set up by Ling Shizhe, it is difficult for them to bypass them, and they can only watch the market being occupied by Ling Shizhe.

But soon, due to the Kodak incident, they were soon given a chance, and when Ambrera announced the disclosure of camera-related technology, they naturally couldn't sit still and came to the door to seek cooperation.

At the same time, it attracted attention, of course, it was the computer company, was it the name of the computer camera, and it also aroused their interest, including IBM and DEC, they just came to store the chip, paid a certain fee, got the right to use the storage chip, and left, arm+1Although they feel good, they think that it can't be used as a computer processor, and it is true that this processor is not designed for computers.

But Alison confirmed that Ling Shizhe put out the production authorization of the memory chip, which is an irrational behavior, but Ling Shizhe doesn't see it that way, this memory chip is like this in his opinion, the reason why he is now used as a database is because the hardware environment of electronic technology is still very backward, so he adopts such a method, and with the development of electronic technology in the future, its role will become smaller and smaller, and finally he is just an ordinary electronic component on the embedded electronic board. There is really no need to waste your energy on him. The capacity of 256K now seems very large, but there is nothing advanced in technology at all, he just optimized the design of the current memory chip, and then used three chips to package them into a chip in parallel, there is no magic at all, it is better to simply open it out, and there will be a usage fee.

ARM+1 and DigiC are the real focus, now Ling Shizhe can not produce it himself, they are all handed over to other chip factories for OEM production, using 10 micron process, which is the most advanced process at present, due to the opening of camera technology, the demand for these 2 chips in the market has suddenly increased, the previous output is simply not enough, I have to find more manufacturers, but unfortunately there is no professional chip foundry company, those chip factories are producing chips of their own design, It is difficult to find them to OEM, and some other small manufacturers do not meet the requirements of their processes.

As for his own chip factory, the designers in Hong Kong are still designing his new process production line, although they are given a complete theoretical framework, they just follow the fill, but the progress, forget it, don't count on it, it's slow to death, just lay the foundation, it will be a miracle to be able to do it the year after tomorrow, this kind of thing can't be fast, as long as they lay the foundation, the rest will be easy to do.

Almost searched the entire Silicon Valley, and finally found 2 factories willing to OEM for him, one is called National Semiconductor Company (NSC), the company's general manager is called Charles Sporck (C. Sporck) He used to be the general manager of Fairchild Semiconductor, because the parent company of Fairchild Company continued to draw blood from Fairchild, which caused strong internal dissatisfaction in Fairchild, Helney, Roberts and Claire in Silicon Valley's "Eight Rebellions" first ran away in a negative mood, and then, "Eight Rebellions" Another member, Glass, also led several people out of Fairchild. Since then, a large number of talented elites who have poured into Fairchild have left to start their own businesses. Spock was one of the elite who left Fairchild, and when he joined the semiconductor company in 1967, he overhauled the NSC, moving the company from Connecticut to Silicon Valley, and quickly growing it from a loss-making company to the world's sixth-largest semiconductor manufacturer.

Ling Shizhe personally went to recruit him, but unfortunately he refused, but they were all engaged in semiconductors, and there were no obstacles to communication, and they chatted quite speculatively, especially for the arm+1CPU and digic image CPU and 256 memory chips designed by Ling Shizhe, they were full of praise and became quite good friends, but unfortunately they did not succeed in recruiting him, Spock was reluctant to go to Hong Kong, he thought that the future of semiconductors was in Silicon Valley, not in Hong Kong, and he also persuaded Ling Shizhe to move the company to Silicon Valley. It's a pity that Ling Shizhe can't move his company and laboratory to Silicon Valley, and the current American racism is too heavy, which is why Canada was built, compared to the United States, Canada is much better.

His current semiconductor laboratory is now basically developing edge technology applications, because, since Ling Shizhe's computer camera came out, the racism and discrimination in the United States began to target him again, in addition to the Kodak incident, there is also a voice, causing Ling Shizhe's vigilance, that is, some people with ulterior motives in the United States are making rumors about Ambrera, saying that now American semiconductor talents are Chinese research computers, hoping that the US government will notify Canada to investigate Ambrera's semiconductor laboratory.

After an investigation, it was found that Kodak and some computer companies did it, and Kodak is still a little famous, and those computer companies have never heard the same thing, and small ones can't be in a small computer company, and the CPU can't do it, how can they follow Kodak to fool around. Later, Ling Shizhe learned the reason, they think that Chinese can't make a CPU, Chinese are pigs, are two-legged sheep, must have been developed by people in his laboratory, but he Ling Shizhe is the boss, so he added the patent inventor of CPU to him.

They hope that the U.S. government and the Canadian government will pressure the Ambrera laboratory to conduct an investigation under various pretexts, so as to force the North American laboratory to close, so that the Chinese company will not have the ability to develop CPUs. You say, after Ling Shizhe heard the news, did he dare to open a laboratory in Silicon Valley, he even conducted marginal research in the North American laboratory, and he didn't even think about the core part, not to mention that he was slandered, put the core in Silicon Valley, and train talents for them, dream about it. Fortunately, the U.S. government ignored them, but it was enough to arouse Ling Shizhe's vigilance.

This news was notified to him by Spock, after he received the news, he immediately notified Ambrera Company, Ling Shizhe made adjustments to the laboratory at that time, the Canadian semiconductor laboratory and the electronics laboratory merged, only the application and development of semiconductor edge technology research, the core is all in Hong Kong, fortunately, the current Canadian semiconductor laboratory researchers are only 11 people, far from the development of core technology, has always been doing edge technology application development research.

Spock was not racist, but he was also influenced by the circumstances of the time. When Ling Shizhe went to Silicon Valley to meet him, he saw his Asian face, although he tried hard to make a smile on his face, but the sensitive Ling Shizhe suddenly felt the contempt in his eyes, this kind of look was too familiar to him, he didn't know how many times he had seen it in his previous life, his boss's, his colleagues', too much, too much.

If it weren't for his own rich knowledge of semiconductors to conquer him, he would never be friends with Spock, and maybe he would become enemies, and some of the talents in Ling Shizhe's Hong Kong semiconductor laboratory were introduced to him by Spock.

The other is the newly established Signatix Semiconductor Company, which was founded by Glass, the "eight rebels" of Silicon Valley, and a few people who left Fairchild, and now Fairchild has become the cradle of semiconductor technology talents. This company was also introduced to him by Spock, because Ling Shizhe's demand was too large, and a company couldn't eat it at all, so he briefly asked Signatix Semiconductor Company, and the two companies jointly worked for him.

Spock and Glass attach great importance to this foundry business, Ambrera is an absolute behemoth for them, in 1967, is the heyday of Fairchild, when its annual turnover was only 200 million US dollars, and now Ambrera is how much, the ceramics business alone is up to 800 million US dollars per year turnover, net profit up to 200 million US dollars per year, is several times larger than Fairchild, now Ambrera launched the computer camera is more and more popular in the market, now its turnover is what, More than 1 billion, absolutely, how much is next year, and now the camera-related technology has been opened, so how much is his turnover, it is definitely a terrifying number, no one dares to underestimate its existence in most places in the United States, except for those big and intimidating giants, and now even IBM does not dare to despise it.

Spock's National Semiconductor Company, after 2 years of drastic reforms, is now barely out of the loss-making situation, began to enter the field of power management technology, Ambrera company's foundry list is too important to him, not only can earn considerable foundry fees, but also try to sell them power management technology solutions, the national semiconductor company studied Ambrera's computer camera, and found that although Ling Shizhe has adopted a lot of novel power-saving measures, But there is never an effective power management system to effectively manage, the effect is not too ideal, the power consumption is still relatively large, this is the only consumer complaints, SPOT believes that this is an opportunity for them, order the laboratory experts to research the newly developed power management technology, the computer camera research and matching, make a complete set of power management technology solutions for the computer camera, and then sell to Ling Shizhe.

Up to now, the power management technology system, has not sold a few sets, continue a large order to open the market, if Ambrera company adopted, other companies will produce computer cameras will also use this set of technology, then it is a huge market, Spot thought of this, he couldn't help but be excited, a few days ago, the researchers in the laboratory have done a good job of supporting the power management of the computer camera, the results are surprising, power consumption is reduced by 50%. On the day the results came out, Scott contacted Ambrera Company, and after Alison received the news, he was very interested and immediately reported to Ling Shizhe, who responded on the spot and asked the National Semiconductor Company to bring samples for testing, and if the effect is indeed as he said, and the price is right, he will definitely purchase his power management technology.

Power management technology, this idea, Ling Shizhe is no stranger, in the later generations, low-carbon, environmental protection, green, energy-saving environment, power management technology has long entered all walks of life, into thousands of households. But right now, power management technology is a new idea.

So what is power management technology, and how power is efficiently distributed to the different components of the system. Power management is critical for mobile devices that rely on battery power. By reducing the energy consumption of components when they are idle, a good power management system can extend battery life by two or three times. Power management technology, also known as power control technology, belongs to the category of power electronics technology, is a set of power conversion, modern electronics, network construction, automatic control and other multi-disciplinary in one of the edge of the technology, has been widely used in industry, energy, transportation, information, aviation, national defense, education and culture and many other fields.

Since the advent of Ling Shizhe's computer camera, although it has been favored by consumers, but high power consumption has always been a problem for him. Fortunately, he used a low-energy chip like RISC, and a large number of power-saving design concepts from later generations were used to barely reach the level of the market, otherwise it would have been enough for him to have a headache.

When Spot contacted him, Ling Shizhe wanted to go to his National Semiconductor Company, which specializes in power management technology solutions and is well-known in the industry, and was later acquired by Texas Instruments for more than $6 billion and became the largest shareholder. When he heard that Scott's power management technology for his computer camera had successfully reduced energy consumption by 50% on his camera, he began to look forward to the meeting, and if that was the case, he decided to use him on a second-generation computer camera.
