Chapter 1067: MP3 and storage technology

Steve? Joe didn't think about the little thing in front of him. Such a little guy could play beautiful music. He had to admit that the technology developers at aiwa were really geniuses. Please search for the most complete! The fastest update
But he also found some shortcomings of this mp3, such as the screen is too small, can only display two lines of lyrics, no built-in battery, the consumption of the battery is relatively large, the external function keys are more, it looks very chaotic and so on.
If it is for him to do, then the mp3 will be designed to be half-slap-sized flat, the screen must be large, the function keys can be designed as a ring, as simple as possible, the storage capacity is increased, and the body has to be lighter. and many more.
He called his subordinates and told his thoughts to his subordinates.
Fruit company, we also want to do this mp3, but we don't call this name, there is a suspicion of following the trend, all our products, we must let people know that it is our fruit company, um, can be called ipod, follow the name of our imac the way.
The amount of storage is large, so it is not worthwhile to use flash memory technology. The cost is too high, you can use the hard disk as storage, so that the storage capacity can be several times, and the price can be increased and the profit can be improved.
And ipod can also be used as a portable mobile storage device, with a larger capacity and certainly more popular.
At present, there is a large demand for portable mobile storage devices on the market. Traditional floppy disks have gradually been eliminated. Nowadays, the mainframe computers are no longer producing floppy drives, but instead are optical drives, and all are DVD drives.
This dvd optical drive is mainly based on the wind and rain-flying standard. Everyone is generally licensed from the two companies, and the wind and rain electronics patents are more.
So the CD became the mainstream mobile storage tool, and the floppy disk basically disappeared. But the disc has a big drawback, that is, it is easy to scratch.
Even the vulnerability is even worse than a floppy disk. Some have scratches and the data cannot be read. Although the technology is constantly improving, the ability to correct errors continues to increase, and the areas that are actually scratched will still cause data loss.
As a result, the demand for mobile storage tools has become even greater, and mobile hard drives have emerged. Connect the mobile hard disk to the computer through a usb data cable. After the driver is powered, it can be used.
However, this product also has a big drawback, that is, once the power is turned off, the data will be lost or damaged. And the mobile hard drive is also vulnerable, sometimes it hurts a little bit, it seems that nothing is outside, but it is no longer available.
At this time, flash memory technology has emerged as the times require, not afraid of power failure, not easy to damage, and the cost is much cheaper than the mobile hard disk, of course, the storage capacity will be much smaller.
At this time, there was a storage tool called usb flash drive on the market. It was small and small, only slightly larger than the thumb, and it was extremely convenient to carry.
However, the previous capacity was not large, only 128m and 256m, because it is too small, so there are not many people to buy. But when I saw aip3, I also used flash memory as storage, and when it has grown to 512m, many people have noticed this product.
Companies such as the island nation, South Korea, Nanyang, and the United States have begun to research this product and strive to be the biggest, and want to replace other mobile storage devices.
With the popularity of computers, inter-company office is becoming more and more computerized, and various file transfers are obviously more convenient with such mobile storage devices.
Of course, the CD can also be used, but the CD can only be written once. The price of the mobile hard disk is too high. This u disk is the most suitable and very convenient.
The fruit company once wanted to study the technology, but found that the technology was patented, a company called Hua Electronics.
And if they want to study the u disk, they will not be able to circumvent Aihua Electronics' patent barriers and pay the other party's patent royalties. They had sent people to contact, but the results made them very dissatisfied.
20 million dollars, permanent authorization, why don't they grab it? The cost of research and development of this patent, I am afraid that two million dollars may not be used.
There are also many companies that have successfully researched this technology, but have found that they have been registered for patents. They also could not afford the patent license and gave up.
However, there are also some companies that insist that their technology is different from Aihua Electronics's patents, such as the company that invented the card technology, the company that invented the cf card, and the company that invented the memory stick. Wait, they also launched a USB flash drive, or a product similar to the u disk, after all, the name of the u disk has been registered patent.
At first, some people felt that flash technology was useless, expensive, and complicated. Even after the u disk came out, it was considered by many people to be a short-lived technology, and the application prospects were not so extensive.
But when mp3 was deeply loved by consumers, those companies finally found out that this flash technology was so useful.
Unfortunately, some small companies are technically unable to circumvent patent barriers, so they came up with the same idea as the fruit company, that is to study the mp3 of the built-in hard disk, specializing in the sale of large-capacity storage.
At this time, Feng Yu insisted on making aip3, and doing flash mp3. At this time, Aihua Electronics is not researching a successful 1gb u disk, then I want to apply this to mp3, and expand the mp3 LCD screen, and Feng Yu will also design the past ipod, let the wind and rain design come out. , handed over to Liu Shengyu.
One-handed operation of this idea did add a lot of points to the ipod. Even though the ipod had many shortcomings such as high price, poor sound quality and time-consuming use, it still became a favorite electronic product for many young people, and in the future. It has brought extremely rich profits to the fruit company.
At the same time, Feng Yu also let the aip3 format, which makes people avoid the mp3 must rely on the computer, you can convert cd songs into mp3 format anytime, anywhere.
However, this function has caused Liu Shengzhen to frown. After the launch of this function, it will definitely be brought to court by the Recording Industry Association of the Republic of China. They certainly believe that this infringes intellectual property rights.
But for him, this is just a functional application. As for how the other party uses it, they don't need to manage it. When someone else bought a genuine cd, how can it not be converted into mp3 format? As long as it does not spread, is it not infringement?
The development of mp3 to the end, it must be a change to mp4, when the color screen technology should have matured, and at that time, aiwa company will continue to lead the industry's development direction.
Really: always been imitated, never surpassed! (To be continued.)
