Global monopoly of technology

This year's global technology circle is undoubtedly resounding a more intense tide of artificial intelligence technology, and the Blue Coast company is leading this trend.

But whether it is well-known technology giants that people are familiar with, or start-up technology companies, they are racing to tap the application potential of this technology in various fields on the artificial intelligence track.

The flagship phone conference is still in progress. Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control in his hand, and the big screen behind him showed the appearance and size data of Azure-4.

Luo Sheng said: "Its thickness is only 8.52mm, which is undoubtedly the thin and light smartphone in the world so far, and the screen size of Azure-4 has increased to 4.7 inches."

Due to the full-screen design, the increase in screen size does not appear to increase much on the mobile phone as a whole.

This means that the next generation of products can also make the screen bigger.

"What are the screen upgrades and improvements? Our partner Samsung has provided a 2k screen for Azure-4. They provide us with the best screen technology. This product will be the world's first fully-applied 2k screen. Smartphone."

Luo Sheng smiled at the audience, and this remark attracted the attention of the industry.

Samsung Electronics does not actually want to give their best screen technology to the Côte d'Azur, but instead wants to use their flagship mobile phone business for exclusive enjoyment in order to maintain the technological advantages of Samsung mobile phones on the screen, which is also a big selling point.

But there is no alternative. In the field of screen technology, the Côte d'Azur has built a barrier on core patents.

If you don't use it for me, I won't use it for you, and then you won't be able to use it. You have lost a major customer.

So Samsung actually has no choice, because it is a double painful blow to Samsung. On the one hand, it can’t be used by itself. On the other hand, it supplies to the Blue Coast and provides screens as a supplier, which is also a fortune. Huge business income.

When the trouble is broken, both ends will not benefit. Samsung Electronics hardly needs to hesitate too much and will definitely provide the best screen technology.

An industry insider off the court secretly questioned: "2k screen? Does the mobile phone screen need 2k technology? It's a bit precious, and it must be a huge price!"

Luo Sheng doesn't know the opinions of some people in the industry, even if he knows it, he will laugh it off.

Humans are visual animals. Now, streaming video users on the Internet, after getting used to 1080P videos or even higher-definition videos, almost no one can stand 720P videos.

On the stage, Luo Sheng bowed his head and stopped silently brewing for a moment. Then he raised his head to look at the audience ahead and smiled mysteriously: "Next, I will introduce a new and cool technology on the Azure-4 mobile phone. So far It is unique, and we firmly believe that this technology will inevitably become a standard in the smartphone industry. We hope to achieve the level of technology benchmarking."

As soon as this remark came out, the fans at the scene and the netizens who watched the live broadcast of the press conference were bright. Luo Sheng's words are so big, you always have reason to look forward to it.

It's the discomfort of friends and business colleagues.

The ghost knows what fairy-level technology has been tossed by the blue coast in the past three years?

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "Azure-4 is the first time to use the fingerprint unlock function under the screen."

When the voice fell, he pressed the small remote control in his hand, adding: "In fact, the development team has two development teams when developing the fingerprint unlocking technology under the screen. One is developing optical fingerprint unlocking technology, and the other is It is the development of ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking technology."

"The final result is that we have given up the application of optical fingerprint technology because of security problems. In addition, the essence of optical fingerprints is a process of analyzing reflected light. If the phone has a film, it is likely to cause problems in the unlock rate."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng said helplessly: "What I have to complain about is that we have invested hundreds of millions of R&D funds, and the development team has desperately studied how to make the mobile phone thinner, and the engineers have lost their hair. But you have to add a thick case and cell phone film to the phone to end all our efforts."

"Well...the film business is not working well now. What is the original film? Here I will refute a rumor. The Côte d'Azur has never produced films, mobile phone cases and other peripherals, and has not authorized any third parties. You hear Those on the roadside said that the original film is fake."

"Haha~~"

There was a burst of laughter in the audience. The current mobile phone film business is indeed very hot. The first thing most consumers do after buying an Azure mobile phone is to put a layer of film on their love machine...

After the episode, Luo Sheng's voice resounded through the audience again.

"We all know that a typical fingerprint recognition process is actually: fingerprint recognition sensor feature extraction and matching module feature database APP."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control in his hand, and the giant stage screen began to show a technical analysis screen, describing the principle of fingerprint recognition.

In fact, optical fingerprints are not a new technology. They are already the earliest veterans in the field of fingerprint security. Many companies’ fingerprint card readers are actually optical fingerprints.

However, the light-emitting structure of the optical fingerprint is large, the cost of miniaturization is high, and it is unstable. Many card punches are not very easy to use in winter, because the light-emitting structure of the optical fingerprint is affected by temperature.

Luo Sheng paced back and forth and said: "...then the specific scheme of fingerprint recognition is particularly critical as the step of feature extraction by direct contact with fingerprints. Ultrasonic fingerprint recognition is different from optical and capacitive. Ultrasonic is a three-dimensional fingerprint model, so ultrasonic technology is fundamentally more secure."

"But because of this, the speed of ultrasonic recognition is fine. As you can see from the video demonstration, that is our early stage of technology. Ultrasonic fingerprints are relatively slow when recording fingerprints, and it takes almost 1 second to unlock. This is something I cannot tolerate. The unlocking speed of others is 0.1 second, and your phone is 1 second. Can you stand it?"

"I set a hard target for the engineer team, and the unlock was completed in 0.07 seconds. In the end, our engineers did it."

"The charm of this technology is that it retains the biological verification function without additional space. However, it is not easy to develop this technology. It is not a simple package and requires the cooperation of the manufacturer's software and hardware."

"The fitting process from the screen to the sensor to the outside, as well as the way of stacking inside, must be tested over and over again, including the image algorithm of artificial intelligence. This is an overall matching process, and this process needs to be completed within 0.07 seconds, really It is not easy, because of this we are confident that we will lead the industry for three to five years in this field."

"For this 0.07 seconds, we started to invest Dalian's manpower, material resources and financial resources to develop this technology two years ago. With material resources, we placed nearly half a million pieces of material, risking the risk of being scrapped. In the assembly test On the one hand, we need to find the best engineers, the best structural manufacturing experts, and manufacturing engineering experts to quickly hand-craft hundreds of equipment in two or three days, and then test them immediately."

"But these efforts are worth it!" Luo Sheng smiled and said: "OK, I'll show you directly!"

After talking about the small counter on the side of Luo Sheng Huidao's stage, there is a "Frost Silver"-style display machine on the table, and the lens of the giant stage screen is focused on this mobile phone.

Everyone saw Luo Sheng wake up the phone screen, and then touched the screen with their thumbs, and the fingerprint was unlocked almost instantaneously.

Wow!

The audience at the scene immediately gave a warm applause. At this moment, the fans and audience are very proud of the fact that the Côte d'Azur is a technology company in China.

Luo Sheng’s light description in a few words, but from the lines between the lines, you can hear how hard the engineers of the Riviera Lab have worked. It is estimated that they have lost their hair. The Azure-4 mobile phone is behind the high gloss of the Azure-4 mobile phone at the moment. The results of engineers and hundreds of millions of funds.

But the return is also gratifying.

The number of patents this year is the best quantitative indicator. The Côte d'Azur has also successfully set a standard in the field of under-screen fingerprint unlocking technology and set a technical benchmark.

Finally, Luo Sheng put down the display prototype in his hand and returned to the middle of the stage.

"The'heart' of Azure-4 is introduced below. The flagship machine is equipped with ARM-based seven-generation'Blue Core L7' processor. The L7 uses a 28-nanometer process and is driven by quad-core. The most important thing is that this is the Blue Coast The chip products independently designed by engineers are also the core competitiveness of Azure-4."

In the next twenty minutes, Luo Sheng introduced other innovative technologies of Azure-4. The flagship machine launched a total of seven core innovative functions, 88 innovative functions, and more than 2,000 new patents large and small. technology.

With the passage of time, the launch of the flagship machine has gradually come to the node that consumers are most looking forward to.

Luo Sheng waved his body language with one hand and said: "L7 processor, full screen, under-screen fingerprint unlocking, 2k screen, quad-core driver, artificial intelligence, etc., what is the price of such an excellent product? ?"
