Global Monopoly of Technology

This year's global technology circle has undoubtedly once again sounded a more intense wave of artificial intelligence technology, and Côte d'Azur is leading this trend.

However, both well-known technology giants and start-up technology companies are all competing to tap the application potential of this technology in various fields on the artificial intelligence track.

The flagship phone launch was still in progress. Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control in his hand, and the size data of Azure-4 appeared on the big screen behind him.

Luo Sheng introduced: "Its thickness is only 8.52 mm, which is undoubtedly the thinnest smartphone in the world so far. At the same time, the screen size of the Azure-4 has been increased to 4.7 inches."

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

This means that the new generation of products in the future can also make the screen bigger.

"What are the upgrades and improvements to the screen? Our partner Samsung has provided a 2k screen for Azure-4, and they have provided us with the best screen technology. This product will be the first full-scale 2k screen in the world. smartphone.”

Luo Sheng smiled at the audience, and his remarks attracted the attention of people in the industry.

In fact, Samsung Electronics does not want to use their best screen technology for the Côte d'Azur, but thinks about using it for the exclusive enjoyment of its flagship mobile phone business to maintain the technical advantage of Samsung mobile phones on the screen, which is also a big selling point.

But there is no other way. In the field of screen technology, Cote 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 either, and you've also lost a big customer.

So Samsung actually has no choice, because it is a double and painful blow for Samsung. On the one hand, it can't use it itself, and on the other hand, it supplies the Riviera and provides screens as a supplier, which is also a fortune. Huge business income.

If there is trouble, there will be no benefit from both ends. Samsung Electronics hardly hesitates too much, and will definitely provide the best screen technology.

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

Luo Sheng didn't know the views of some people in the industry, and even if he did, he would laugh it off.

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

On the stage, Luo Sheng bowed his head and stopped in silence for a moment, then he looked up at the audience in front, and smiled mysteriously: "Next, I want to introduce a brand new cool technology on the Azure-4 mobile phone, so far Unique, and we firmly believe that this technology will inevitably become standard in the smartphone industry, we hope to achieve the level of technical benchmarks.”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of 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.

On the contrary, friends and businessmen are getting more and more uncomfortable.

The ghost knows what fairy-level technology has been tossed about in the past three years on the Cote d'Azur?

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

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

"The end result is that we gave up the application of optical fingerprint technology because of security problems, and the essence of optical fingerprints is a process of analyzing reflected light,

So if the phone has a film, it is likely to cause problems with the unlock rate. "

Having said that, Luo Sheng helplessly spread his hands and said: "What I have to complain is that we have invested hundreds of millions of R\u0026D funds, the development team has worked hard to study how to make the phone thinner, and the engineers have lost all their hair. But you have to put a thick casing and phone film on the phone and put an end to all our hard work."

"Yeah... Now the film business is booming, and what is the original film? Let me refute a rumor here. Cote d'Azur has never produced film, mobile phone cases and other peripherals, and has not authorized any third party, you heard Those stickers on the roadside say that the original film is fake."

"Haha~~"

The audience immediately ushered in a burst of laughter. The current mobile phone film business is indeed quite hot. The first thing most consumers do after buying an Azure mobile phone is to put a layer of film on their favorite phone...

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

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

Speaking of which, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control in his hand, and the giant stage screen began to show a picture of technical analysis, 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. The fingerprint punchers of many companies are actually optical fingerprints.

However, the optical fingerprint light-emitting structure 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 a step to extract features directly in contact with fingerprints. Ultrasonic fingerprint recognition is different from optics and capacitance. The latter two are the establishment of a second 3D feature model, and ultrasonic is a three-dimensional three-dimensional fingerprint model, so ultrasonic technology is fundamentally more secure."

"But because of this, the speed of ultrasonic recognition is fine. From the video demonstration, we can see that it was in our early stage of technology. Ultrasonic is relatively slow when recording fingerprints, and it takes about 1 second to unlock. This is intolerable to me, the unlocking speed of others is 0.1 seconds, and your mobile phone is 1 second, can you bear it?"

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

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

"From the screen to the sensor to the outside bonding process, and the way of stacking inside, we have to experiment again and 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's not easy, and that's why we are confident that we will be three to five years ahead of the industry in this field."

"For this 0.07 second, we started investing in Dalian's human, material and financial resources to develop this technology as early as two years ago. With material resources, we have placed nearly 500,000 pieces of material, taking the risk of being scrapped. While in the assembly test On the one hand, we need to find the best engineers, the best structural manufacturing experts, and manufacturing engineering experts, and quickly make hundreds of pieces of equipment by hand in two or three days, and then test them immediately.”

"But it's all worth it!" Luo Sheng smiled and said, "OK, I'll show you guys directly!"

After speaking, Luo Sheng returned to the small counter on the side of the stage. On the table was a display machine of "Frost Silver" style. The camera of the giant stage screen was focused on this mobile phone.

Everyone saw that Luo Sheng woke up the phone screen, and then touched the screen with their thumbs, and to the naked eye, the fingerprint unlock was completed almost instantly.

Whoa!

The audience at the scene immediately gave warm applause, and the fans and audience are very proud at this moment because Cote d'Azur is a technology company in China.

Luo Sheng's light description in three words, but he can also hear from the words how hard the engineers of the Azur Lab have worked hard, and it is estimated that they have not lost their hair. Behind the highlights of the Azure-4 mobile phone at this moment are thousands of employees of Azur. The results of engineers and hundreds of millions of funds.

But the rewards are also gratifying.

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

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

"The following introduces the 'heart' of Azure-4. The flagship machine is equipped with a seventh-generation ARM-based 'Blue Core L7' processor. The L7 uses a 28-nanometer process and is driven by four cores. The most important thing is that this is the Cote d'Azur's The chip products independently designed by engineers are also the core competitiveness of Azure-4.”

In the next 20 minutes, Luo Sheng introduced other innovative technologies of Azure-4. The flagship phone has 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 phone 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? ?"
