The best-selling of Apple mobile phones has brought about the hot sales of Odin Enterprise series products. If it is normal, Jobs must be very calm.For Jobs, he has long been used to the feeling of being the big brother in Apple's charge. There is nothing wrong with a younger brother like Odin drinking soup after Apple.In particular, the Sol mobile power supply under the Odin Enterprise has effectively solved the problem of inconvenient charging of Apple mobile phones, and it can be regarded as a small favor for Apple mobile phones.

But Jobs has a feeling of being caught in a spider's web, especially when Apple's mysterious project encountered a patent wall during research and development.What made Jobs furious was that several core patents that were originally kept in absolute secrecy were registered and taken away early.And according to the search of the patent department, many patents registered by that institution will block the development of Apple and other smart phones in the future.

Angry Jobs naturally ordered Apple to conduct an internal self-examination to see if any commercial espionage had sneaked in. At the same time, he also arranged for the legal department to discuss with the organization called Titan Technology Pte Ltd to see if it could buy patents or simply buy the company.But Apple's acquisition proposal was quickly rejected by the company, and said that they were only willing to talk about patent licensing, and patent buyout was impossible.After Jobs received the news, he deeply felt that he must have fallen into a trap, and Apple also began to hire industrial spies to investigate this company called Titan Technology.

Because Titan Technology is an American company registered in Nevada, and according to the laws of Nevada, as long as it is not a private company listed on the market, it does not need to report its shareholder composition and income and expenditure details to the government, as long as it submits its financial statements and pays taxes on time. up.This is a headache even for the omnipotent IRS. You must know that the IRS is the most deterrent department among all law enforcement agencies in the United States.

Don't look at the movies that describe cia and fbi, or the omnipotent nsa in the future, but the only law enforcement agency that really makes Americans feel pressure and dare not make excessive jokes is really only the IRA (Internal Revenue Service).When the American Mafia was rampant, the CIA and the FBI were like a mouse seeing a cat when they met the five major families in New York, and almost kneeled and licked it.And ira doesn't care about the Mafia's organization, and even a certain godfather is finally imprisoned, which is also the result of ira. ira controls the income of American citizens and major enterprises and institutions through annual tax returns. In addition, the materials of ira must be disclosed, so anyone with a little heart can find out the specific income of a company or a person through ira public information. his social relations.

But ira is a federal unit, established according to the United States Federal Constitution.However, the special state system of the United States determines an embarrassing but actual fact that the actual power of the federal government is far smaller than that of the state governments.Because according to the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, "The powers not vested in the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the states, are reserved to each of the states, or to the people."

Therefore, although ira can require companies in various states to report taxes to ira, since the details of how to file taxes are in the hands of the state government, Nevada has formulated a series of policies that are conducive to tax evasion in order to protect the interests of the state, making Nevada a state within the United States. One of the worst areas for money laundering crimes.But also because of this, some rich people who are unwilling to disclose their identities have also set up holding companies or investment funds in Nevada, so as to indirectly control their wealth.

And Liu Miao's thinking at the time was the same, just to protect her actual identity.As the country with the best intellectual property protection in the world, the United States is still ahead of China in terms of intellectual property protection and adjudication. In particular, most of the mobile phone and smart device patents involved by Liu Miao are in the United States. Therefore, it is also beneficial to establish a patent agency in the United States. necessary.

This company named Titan Technology Pte. Ltd. is a company registered under the names of Liu Miao, Liu Yan and Liu Guoqing. Liu Miao used this company to acquire some companies with key patents on the one hand, and on the other hand to Ways to preemptively register patents.Faced with a company like Titan Technology, which has seen its tail but never sees its head, Apple's commercial espionage is somewhat helpless.

And just when Jobs was a little depressed, Titan Technology made another proposal that made Apple very excited.Titan Technology is willing to share patents with Apple, but Apple must also come up with patents of equal value; otherwise, it can only be offset according to the patent discount.It's not that Liu Miao wants to let Apple go, but Apple's sound card decoding technology and retina high-definition screen technology make Liu Miao covet it.Don't look at the so-called "sunshine screen" and other technologies invented by people in later generations, but compared with retina, it is nothing like mud.It is precisely because of this that Liu Miao thought about patent sharing and used several key patents in Apple's hands together.

Of course, Apple is not an idiot. Jobs immediately guessed that Titan Technology is definitely developing a touch-screen smartphone, which immediately made him nervous.Everyone knows that the best business in the world is a monopoly business.Jobs didn't expect to be able to monopolize forever, but he could monopolize it for at least five to ten years, which is enough to give Apple the opportunity to do other research and development.But Jobs changed his mind. Since the other party has not published related works, it means that the other party's smartphone should still be on the prototype.From patents to productivity, this is not a problem that can be solved in a year or two.Thinking of this, Jobs' self-confidence suddenly returned.

But what Jobs is very interested in now is, what system does the other party's smartphone use?Apple's unique ios system is naturally impossible, and the semi-finished product of Symbian is naturally something that Jobs doesn't like.Jobs felt that the people of Titan Technology should have the same vision as himself, so the possibility of seeing Saipan is zero.The BlackBerry system is suitable for a full keyboard, and it would be too troublesome to convert it to a touch screen. Although Microsoft has the intention to develop a mobile system, they have not done it themselves, so they probably will not authorize it.After much deliberation, Jobs wrote two sets of letters android and plamos on a piece of paper.

If Liu Miao was there, he would have been frightened by Jobs' ingenious calculations.Because the basic source code of my own Zeus system is from the same family as Android, except that other things have been added, and of course the plamos system has been combined at the end.

Of course, Liu Miao does not have a prototype of the Titan phone yet, but the second-generation prototype of the Titan tablet has already been developed.According to Liu Miao's idea, Titan Electronics finally made it.But Liu Miao is still dissatisfied with the friendliness of its interface and the weight of the model itself. Fortunately, the appearance design is more in line with Liu Miao's expectations.

Liu Miao ordered: "Under the premise of not shortening the standby time, the weight of the battery should be reduced as much as possible. At the same time, some unnecessary hardware should be stripped and new alloy materials should be used. We must reduce the weight by at least 50%. In addition, the interface icon Personally, I don’t think it looks particularly good-looking. I would like to give two suggestions, Apple or Google, we can refer to their icon design. If we lack such art talents, we should go to overseas companies to dig a batch. Finally, we are now pursuing The fluency of the system is not the versatility. As a user, whether it looks good or not is the first priority, followed by whether it is easy to use or not. If the system response time is too long, the user experience will be poor. If there is no way for the hardware If so, then we adopt a single-process design."

After finishing the order, Liu Miao was already looking forward to the launch of Titan Tablet early next year.Apple ignited the first fire of mobile Internet smart devices, so let its Titan company help to add some fuel to this fire.

Unlike the first generation of ipad, the first generation of Titan Tablet does not support 2g network, but supports wlan.In Liu Miao's view, before 3G became popular, allowing the tablet to realize the wireless Internet access function simply hurt the user's expectations.In order to reduce unnecessary software as much as possible, Liu Miao temporarily positioned the Titan Tablet as an entertainment device, so there are many requirements for audio-visual playback functions and game functions, which weakens the auxiliary role in life and work.Liu Miao decided to wait for 3G to become popular before adding these functions.

However, Liu Miao knows that it is time to promote the mp4 format. As a video container format, mp4 can achieve the audio quality of dvd as much as possible with the lowest file size.The so-called video file format, also known as the video container format, can contain video and audio at the same time, and then play them out synchronously. mp4 is actually the fourth version of the mpeg format, which is widely used in vcd, cd and dvd, so it has the advantage of convenient conversion, which is why Liu Miao is willing to promote it.Liu Miao couldn't bear the setting of Apple's system that required multiple file transfers, which was simply a design that drove ordinary users crazy.

Although the current mp4 is only in the h263 format, which is not as high as standard definition by the standards of later generations, but compared with the current mainstream 3gp format, mp4 gives people the feeling that there is a gap between watching movies on TV and going to the cinema.Moreover, Liu Miao actually prepared a killer feature, that is, the mp264 standard in h4 format will be launched simultaneously with the Titan tablet.Liu Miao is not a supporter of piracy, so he set up an exclusive video store to support Titan Tablet.

Liu Miao preemptively registered this domain name, which will provide rich media files and games for Titan tablet and Titan mobile phone.At the same time, Liu Miao also launched the offline titanplay software, which allows users to transcribe audio and video files by themselves with the authorization of the copyright owner.In order for titanplay to win this qualification, Liu Miao also signed a series of agreements with the North American Music Industry Association, the American Television Broadcasting Industry Association, the Hollywood Film Promotion Association, the European Intellectual Property Alliance, the China Copyright Association, the Japan Copyright Association, and the Korean Copyright Alliance. .

An identification code will be added to [-]% of the world's film and television music publications, allowing buyers to use titanplay to transcribe on a computer.However, it is up to each association to decide whether additional fees are required for transcription.For example, companies such as Japan and South Korea that are planning to sell audio sources separately decide to pay extra for transcription. At that time, the prices of CDs and DVDs that can be transcribed will be slightly higher; but TV broadcasting and music associations in China, Europe and the United States have given up this part of income It allows users to automatically obtain transcription rights after purchase; while American movies are more complicated and will be determined by each company's regulations.

Liu Miao locked the function of distributing the transcribed version to other devices on the software, and the transcribed file can only be played on the user's computer and the Titan device registered by the user.Liu Miao hopes to bring convenience to his users, but he will not base this convenience on the basis of piracy.Of course, Liu Miao feels that there is no problem with charging for audio or video sources, but it is not kind to charge repeatedly for physical discs.Therefore, Liu Miao will continue to negotiate with major copyright associations to see if they can provide digital versions for sale.
