Chapter 22: Warming up for next year (Ch 824660486)

“Under-screen camera technology!”
Chen Tong did not continue his detailed introduction in front of the representatives of major manufacturers present.
After all, the full-screen introduced earlier is basically an introduction to the appearance. Even if the company applies for a patent, it can only apply for an appearance patent.
However, there are still differences between appearance patents and technical patents.
Compared with technical patents, appearance patents only require a six-dimensional diagram of the appearance to apply for a patent.
The difficulty of applying for this type of appearance patent is relatively low, the content that needs to be prepared is not particularly large, and the review difficulty is also very low.
For this reason, the review time for appearance patents after infringement is relatively long, and the infringer can also evade the review by modifying a small part of the appearance.
The determination of appearance infringement is relatively complicated, and there is no fixed standard to determine whether there is infringement.
This type of infringement takes a very long time and has a very low chance of success, which also results in the low value of appearance patents in the technology and digital industries.
The under-screen full-screen that I will introduce next has a very high technical content, which involves many technologies on the screen.
As for the company’s current overall technical level, although we know the direction of R&D development, we are still unable to develop the technology.
In order to prevent other companies from developing the technical concepts provided by his company in advance and to apply for technical patents first, Chen Tong did not specifically introduce the under-screen full-screen to representatives of major manufacturers.
The animation on the stage had ended, and the representatives present had recovered from their shock.
In the first few minutes of the animation, representatives from major manufacturers were dismissive of Huateng Microelectronics’ strategic conference.
However, as Chen Tong presented the concept of full-screen and its future development direction to many manufacturers’ representatives one by one.
All prejudices against Huateng Microelectronics have long disappeared.
“This will be the most important strategic conference in the history of the mobile phone industry!”
The representatives of the Ju factory in the audience couldn’t help but express their amazement and praise for the concept of full screen.
Representatives from other manufacturers also nodded in approval, and some even began to secretly send the full-screen news back to the company.
Once the “full screen concept” is officially proposed, it will truly rewrite the development of the entire mobile phone industry.
As the originator of this new concept, Huateng Microelectronics will also leave a significant mark in the history of the development of mobile phone technology.
“Hello, Mr. Chen, I have a question. We can clearly see the full-screen form factor of the phone, and the most important point is that the three major buttons have been removed!”
“How should the full screen replace the functions of the three major buttons?”
The representative of the rice company also raised his hand and raised his own questions.
The full-screen concept proposed by Huateng Microelectronics and the display of the future screen appearance shocked everyone present.
But after everyone calmed down, they discovered many questions that puzzled them.
The three diamond swords of mobile phones have always existed on mobile phones and have become indispensable function buttons on current mobile phones.
If you want to achieve a higher screen-to-body ratio on the front of the phone, you must make the original buttons under the screen disappear.
But when the buttons of a mobile phone disappear, how should the full screen display the functions of the three major buttons on the mobile phone again?
Chen Tong looked at the inquiring eyes of the people present and slowly said, “Facing this problem, I have two solutions!”
Two solutions!
Hearing Chen Tong’s answer, everyone present instantly became interested and stared at Chen Tong with sharp eyes.
“The first method is virtual buttons!”
Following Chen Tong’s detailed explanation, the mobile phone desktop operation screen soon appeared on the screen.
I saw three transparent patterns appear under the original mobile phone, and upon closer inspection they were the shapes of the three main buttons of the mobile phone.
Use the touch screen of your mobile phone to simulate the operation of the three major buttons.
Representatives from major manufacturers did not show much change in expression when watching the first operation.
Although this method can solve the problem of canceling the three major buttons on a full-screen mobile phone, the sudden appearance of these three buttons under the mobile phone screen does look a little bit awkward.
Just when the manufacturers felt that the first method was not original, Chen Tong directly brought the second solution.
“Full screen gestures!”
“Little white stripe!”
Chen Tong directly demonstrated all the operating gestures of later mobile phones to the many manufacturers present.
Even the small white bar that major manufacturers subsequently used on full-screen mobile phones was displayed for the first time in front of many manufacturer representatives.
Slide the edge of the phone’s screen inward to exit or return to the previous interface.
Swipe up from the bottom of the phone’s touch screen to exit the currently used mobile application and return directly to the phone’s desktop.
If you swipe up from the bottom of the phone’s touch screen and pause, you will enter the background of the phone.
This series of gesture operations brought more shock to the major manufacturers present than the emergence of full-screen form.
Sliding the small white bar to the left or right means switching applications, which gives the manufacturer representatives unlimited imagination.
Many of the manufacturers’ representatives present were knowledgeable people. Seeing how smoothly the Xiaobaitiao switched between applications, they all realized the possibility that the Xiaobaitiao could be compatible with more operations.
“This is a brand new way of interaction, and it will become the mainstream way of interaction for mobile phone operations in the future!”
“Of course, this interaction method requires modifications to the underlying system of the mobile phone, and also requires more hardware adaptation…”
Chen Tong started by gradually shifting the focus from new interactive methods on mobile phones to his company’s products.
To truly realize full-screen displays, not only do mobile phone manufacturers need to make special modifications at the system level, but they also need corresponding cooperation from mobile phone hardware manufacturers.
Only when the mobile phone’s software and hardware are compatible and adapted can the development of full-screen mobile phones be truly realized.
“And our company will officially launch a new screen compatible with full-screen operation after June next year…”
After introducing the full-screen display, Chen Tong took the opportunity to start warming up the company’s new products for next year.
By April next year, the company’s R&D team will be able to develop a new level of screen panel technology.
At the same time, the company’s chip design team will basically be able to design the chip before April.
The company will gradually start producing and trial-matching full-screen screens from next year, and will make a series of modifications to the screen ratio.
At the same time, the touch chips produced by the company, when combined with existing screens, can more perfectly realize the popularization of full-screen displays that are compatible with both software and hardware.
