Extraordinary Genius

1062. Chapter 1062 chapter 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 technical developers of AIWA Corporation were really geniuses.

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 he is to do it, then MP3 will be designed into a flat shape of half a palm, the screen must be large, the function keys can be designed as a ring, as much as possible, the storage capacity is increased, the body has to be lighter. and many more.

He called his subordinates and told his thoughts to his subordinates.

Apple Corporation, we also want to do this MP3, but we don’t call this name, we have the suspicion of following the trend, all our products, we must know that it is our Apple Corporation, 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 larger, 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 great 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 drive, mainly based on the Wind & Rain-Philips standard, is generally licensed from the two companies, of which Wind & Rain Electronics has more patents.

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 cable, and drive it before you can use it.

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, a storage tool called a USB flash drive appeared on the market. It was small and 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 the MP3 of AWAA Corporation, I also used flash memory as storage. When I developed 512M, many people also noticed this product.

Japan, South Korea, Nanyang, and the United States have begun to research this product and try to be the biggest, and want to replace other mobile storage devices.

With the popularity of computers, the Office 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.

Apple Corporation once wanted to study the technology, but found that the technology was patented, a company called Aihua 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 patents. They also could not afford the patent license and gave up.

But there are also some organizations that insist that their technology is different from Aihua Electronics’ patents, such as Dongzhi Corporation, which invented the SM card technology, the flashing Corporation, which invented the CF card, the Sony Corporation, which invented the memory stick, etc. Also introduced is a USB flash drive, or a product similar to a USB flash drive. After all, the name of the USB flash drive has been registered.

At first, some people felt that flash technology was useless, costly, 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 organizations finally found out that this flash technology was so useful.

Unfortunately, some small organizations are technically unable to circumvent patent barriers, so they came up with the same idea as Apple Corporation, which is to study the MP3 of the built-in hard drive, specializing in the point of mass storage.

At this time, Feng Yu insisted that AIWACorporation not to study what hard disk MP3, just do flash MP3. At this time, Aihua Electronics is not researching the U disk of 1GB successfully. Then we can find a way to apply this to MP3, and expand the LCD screen of MP3, and Feng Yu will also design the previous IPOD, let Wind & Rain Design Co. After it was made, it was handed over to Hajime Yagyu.

One-handed operation of this idea did add a lot of points to IPOD. Even though IPOD had many shortcomings such as high price, poor sound quality and time-consuming use, it became a favorite electronic product of youngster, and in the future, Bringing extremely lucrative profits to Apple Corporation.

At the same time, Feng Yu also let AIWA study the direct recording function, which is to record CD songs directly into a MP3 format through a line, which eliminates the need for MP3 to rely on the computer, anytime, anywhere. Convert CD songs to MP3 format.

However, this feature has made Hajime Yagyu somewhat frown. After this feature is launched, it will definitely be brought to court by the CD-ROM industry association. 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?

At the end of the development of MP3, it is definitely a change to MP4. At that time, the color screen technology should have matured. At that time, AIWA Corporation will continue to lead the development direction of the industry.

Really: always been imitated, never surpassed!
