Chapter 480: Great Fusion (4)
Just like the interface dispute of electronic products in the real world, in the case of more than a dozen mobile phone charging and data transmission interfaces, different brands of data cables cannot be used, resulting in a lot of waste of resources.
At that time, a person may have one or twenty data cables in his home, and the data lines can be seen everywhere, but they cannot realize the mutual sharing of different electronic devices, and they are in the dilemma of wireless availability.
At that time, if the state could come forward and directly buy out the domestic use rights of a certain interface according to the market share of different data lines, as well as the performance and convenience of the interface, it could quickly establish its own interface specifications, instead of being restricted everywhere.
In the case of a variety of interface standards, the interface specifications promoted by the national level will inevitably have a strong impetus for the interface unification of the entire domestic market.
If the asking price of one interface specification is too high, the state can choose another interface.
If an interface specification is not recognized by the state, no matter how advanced and scientific its design is, it will inevitably lose the world's largest market.
If the state needs to buy the right to use the patent of its own interface specification, the owner of the patent will not be able to open his mouth in the face of many competitors.
Otherwise, not only will their own interface specifications fail to become mainstream, but they may even create obstacles for their products to enter the domestic market.
Therefore, in the absence of a unified non-critical emerging standard, the state can use its own market size, even if it prescribes or selects a standard that is not advanced, and serves as the guiding standard for the domestic market.
In the absence of any patent disputes and expenses, as a world-class manufacturing country, as long as a large number of domestic manufacturers follow up, other standards will inevitably lose the market.
If you don't give up your own standards, or also give the same domestic patent license, your own product market share will be greatly affected.
Similarly, in the real world video format, there are also major companies that do not give in to each other because of patent issues.
You say your format supports data streaming, and I say mine has a high format compression ratio.
You said your format decompression speed is higher, and I said mine format clarity is better.
Anyway, no matter how you do it, there is only one purpose, that is, you can't be choked by the big hand of the patent by other formats.
In that case, no matter how good your industry layout is, it will only make wedding dresses for others.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, major companies have promoted their own video formats, and even some large surveillance equipment manufacturers have developed their own unique formats.
This situation was unexpected by patent lawmakers in all countries around the world.
Different video formats require different decoding methods.
So, if someone sends you a video, there's a good chance that it won't be available on your computer, so you'll have to download a dedicated player or load a third-party decoder plugin.
This situation seriously hinders the sharing and dissemination of video information, and increases the burden on users.
Especially in some private networks that do not have access to the Internet, this situation is a constant problem for their users.
For the same file, maybe this machine can open it, and if you change it to another machine, you won't find a program to open the file.
No amount of resources and equipment can give full play to the advantages of information network sharing.
In the information age, patent protection has almost reached the pinnacle, and even a certain encryption algorithm will be protected by patents.
Anyway, those companies in the IT industry, as long as others have not registered, regardless of whether it is useful in the future, register the patent first.
Perhaps, one of the patents that you inadvertently registered will exert a terrible power at a time of surprise and deal a fatal blow to your opponent.
Don't think that this kind of dispute has nothing to do with you, in fact, in the age of computer networks, all disputes will expand their impact to all end users through all kinds of incredible channels.
At the very least, many people need to install more than three playback software on their computers to be able to cope with the needs of daily video playback.
But this,Originally, we only needed to install a playback software.,It's just because of the patent dispute.,Forcefully turned our simple operation of double-clicking to open the video.,Double-click、Can't open、Search for playback software、Download、Install。
In the process of exploring, downloading, and installing playback software, we must always beware of viruses and Trojan horse intrusions.
If you are tricked, you can passively install a lot of rogue software on your desktop, or cause system crashes, and may even cause the loss of important files.
In order to facilitate the management of various video resources, some resource providers have to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and time to convert some non-mainstream media formats to ensure their versatility.
In the computer field, one file format is equivalent to a writing system, and too many file formats, like the situation before the unification of the Qin state, seriously hinder the sharing of information.
The chaos of file formats has seriously affected the development of the information age, caused the bloated operating system and application software programs, and added a large amount of unnecessary burden to the computer system.
This situation in the real world made Wei Minsheng see the drawbacks and serious consequences that may arise from the abuse of patent rights.
Therefore, Wei Minsheng decided that in the future of Huaxia, technological innovation can be protected, but the storage format of similar information must be unified.
Even if a new save format is necessary, the format should be read in a way that is open to other similar software.
Similarly, instead of establishing professional scientific research institutions by the state and investing a large amount of R&D funds to obtain scientific research results that are not necessarily proportional, it is better to reward these scientific research funds in a special way and completely open the results to the society to promote the maximization of their benefits.
Therefore, the funds invested by the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration (SASAC) in patents are entirely covered by the revenue of the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration (SASAC), and are not passed on to related products through additional taxes.
At the very least, as the biggest beneficiary of the new technology, these patent expenditures can be recovered from the savings in welding materials, equipment and energy consumption of the large number of welding jobs on construction sites.
Moreover, the improvement of work efficiency brought about by the application of new technologies is also equivalent to saving a lot of job wage expenses.
From the perspective of the overall benefits generated by the whole society, that extra expenditure is very cost-effective.
This matter is not a big deal for Huaxiaguo, but it also reminds Wei Minsheng that the unification of standards can save a lot of repeated investment, and can open up channels between different fields.
In order to no longer have the situation of "10,000 yards galloping", "varied" interfaces, and "ever-changing" file formats, Wei Minsheng decided to let the Ministry of State-owned Assets and Assets Supervision and Administration make a plan to unify some standards for some new things involving the entire Huaxia country.
