Chapter 1067 MP3 and Storage Technology

Steve Jobusi looked at the gadget in front of him. Such a little guy can play wonderful music. He has to admit that the technical R&D personnel of Aiwa Company are really geniuses. Please search for the most comprehensive! The fastest updated one

However, he also found some shortcomings of this mp3, such as the screen is too small, and can only display two lines of lyrics, there is no built-in battery, the battery consumption is relatively large, there are many function keys on the outside, and the appearance is very messy, etc.

If he did it, then the mp3 would be designed as a flat shape half a palm-sized one. The screen must be large, the function keys can be designed into a ring, which should be simplified as much as possible, the storage capacity will be increased, the body will be lighter, etc.

He called his subordinates over and told him what he thought.

Fruit companies also need to make this mp3, but we don’t call it this name, it is suspected of following the trend. All our products must be known as our fruit company at once. Well, they can be called ipod, and we follow the naming method of our imac.

If the storage volume is large, then using flash memory technology is not cost-effective. The cost is too high. You can use a hard disk as storage. This way, the storage volume can be several times larger, and it can also increase the selling price and increase profits.

In addition, ipod can also be used as a portable mobile storage device, with a larger capacity and certainly more popular.

At present, there is a huge demand for portable mobile storage devices on the market. Traditional floppy disks have been gradually eliminated. Now, on mainstream computers, hosts with floppy drives are no longer produced, but have been changed to optical drives, and they are all DVD drives.

This DVD optical drive mainly uses Fengyu-Philip standard. Everyone generally obtains patent authorization from these two companies, among which Fengyu Electronics has more patents.

So CDs became the mainstream mobile storage tool, and floppy disks basically disappeared. However, CDs have one big disadvantage, that is, they are easy to get damaged.

Even fragility is even more serious than floppy disks. Some are rarely damaged, so data cannot be read. Although technology is constantly improving and error correction capabilities are constantly increasing, where the real damage will still cause data loss.

In this way, everyone's demand for mobile storage tools has become greater, and mobile hard disks have emerged. Through a USB data cable, the mobile hard disk is connected to the computer and can be used after the driver is driven.

However, this product also has a big disadvantage, that is, once the power is cut off, the data will be lost or damaged. Moreover, the mobile hard drive is also easy to get damaged. Sometimes it is a little harder to fall. It seems that nothing is happening outside, but it is no longer usable.

At this time, flash memory technology also came into being, not afraid of power outages and not easy to damage. Moreover, the cost is much cheaper than that of mobile hard drives, and of course, the storage volume will be much smaller.

At this moment, a storage tool called USB flash drive appeared on the market. It was small in size and was only slightly larger than the thumb, making it extremely convenient to carry.

However, the capacity before was not large, only 128m and 256m. Because it was too small, not many people bought it. However, when they saw Aip3, they also used flash memory as storage, and had developed to 512m, many people also noticed this product.

Many companies including island countries, South Korea, South Korea, South Asia, the United States have begun to research this product and strive to be the best, hoping to replace other mobile storage devices with this.

With the popularity of computers, offices between companies are becoming more and more computerized, and various file transfers are obviously more convenient to use this mobile storage device.

Of course, CDs are also possible, but CDs can only be written once. The price of mobile hard disks is too high. This kind of USB drive is the most suitable and very convenient.

Fruit Company once wanted to study this technology, but found that this technology was registered as a patent, a company called **Hua Electronics.

If they want to study the U disk, they can't avoid the patent barriers of Aihua Electronics for the time being and have to pay the other party's patent usage fee. They originally sent someone to contact him, but the result made them very dissatisfied.

With 20 million US dollars, permanent authorization, why don’t they grab it? The research and development costs of this patent may not be used for two million US dollars.

There are also many companies that have successfully studied this technology, but found that they have registered patents. They can't afford patent authorization, so they gave up.

But there are some companies that insist that their technology is different from Aihua Electronics' patents, such as Dongzhi, which invented the ** card technology, Shandi, which invented the CF card, Sauni, which invented the memory stick, etc. They also launched USB drives, or products similar to U drives. After all, the name U drive has been registered for patents.

At the beginning, some people thought that flash memory technology was useless, expensive and complex. Even after the USB drive was released, many people thought it was a flash in the pan and its application prospects were not that wide.

But when mp3 was loved by consumers, those companies finally discovered that this flash memory technology was so easy to use.

Unfortunately, some small companies cannot technically bypass patent barriers, so they came up with the same idea as fruit companies, which is to study the mp3 built-in hard drives and specifically focus on the selling point of large-capacity storage.

At this time, Feng Yu insisted on letting AIP3 and making flash mp3. At this time, didn’t Aihua Electronics successfully research the 1GB USB drive? Then he found a way to apply this to mp3 and expand the LCD screen of mp3. In addition, Feng Yu also gave the appearance design of the previous life ipod and let the Fengyu design come out, and handed it over to Yagyu Sho.

The creativity of one-handed operation did add a lot of points to the ipod. Even though the ipod had many shortcomings such as high price, poor sound quality, and short-term use time at that time, it still became an electronic product that many young people love, and in the future, it brought extremely generous profits to the fruit company.

At the same time, Feng Yu also made the aip3 format, which eliminated the situation where mp3 had to rely on computers, and could convert cd songs into mp3 format anytime and anywhere.

However, this function made Yagyutsu frown. After this function was launched, it would definitely be sued by the US Recording Industry Association. They must also believe that this infringes on intellectual property rights.

But no matter what, this is just a functional application. As for how the other party uses it, they don’t need to worry about it. Why can’t others convert it into mp3 format if they buy the genuine CD? As long as it doesn’t spread, it’s not considered infringement, right?

When the development of mp3 reaches its final stage, it will definitely be a transformation to mp4. By then, the color screen technology should have matured, and at that time, aiwa will inevitably continue to lead the industry's development direction.

Really do it: always been imitated, never surpassed! (To be continued.)
