Electronic core news Morning News: Samsung's $4.2 billion patent use fee

Today's core language

Samsung paid more than $4.2 billion in royalties in 2015 for semiconductors and the Internet of Things. The royalty is the cumulative cost of Samsung’s use of patented technology of other companies every quarter. The current increase is due to the proportion of patented technologies owned by other companies in the business sectors such as semiconductors and consumer electronics (CE). The relationship becomes higher. For more information on technology, please pay attention to the daily electronic core morning newspaper.

Samsung paid more than $4.2 billion in royalties in 2015

First, the semiconductor

1. Samsung paid more than 4.2 billion US dollars in royalties in 2015 for semiconductors and the Internet of Things. Samsung Electronics pays high royalties for the development of new businesses in the future. Compared with about 1 trillion won (about 832 million U.S. dollars) in 2013, it has soared to more than 5 trillion won (about 4.2 billion U.S. dollars) in 2015, which is equivalent to approaching 3% of annual turnover. About 20% level. The royalty is the cumulative cost of Samsung’s use of patented technology of other companies every quarter. The current increase is due to the proportion of patented technologies owned by other companies in the business sectors such as semiconductors and consumer electronics (CE). The relationship becomes higher.

2. Google intends to integrate image recognition chips in smartphones. According to the Wall Street Journal, semiconductor startup Movidius said on Wednesday that it will work closely with Google on image recognition technology. The two sides intend to achieve the identification of many things beyond the face by implanting special chips on the smartphone. Google has now demonstrated its high-intelligence image recognition technology through the Google Photos photo storage service. Based on this technology, users upload photos can be classified according to the things contained in the picture, such as flowers, animals or landscapes.

Second, intelligent hardware

1. LeEco's Max Pro released at CES 2016 has become the industry's first mobile phone equipped with the Snapdragon 820 processor. Now, LeTV is preparing a new generation of LeTV super mobile phones, but it will be equipped with the MediaTek Helio X20 processor instead of the Opteron 820. According to sources, LeTV is preparing a new generation of LeTV super mobile phones, which is the rumored music 2, which is expected to be officially unveiled at the end of February. At the same time, the new LeTV super mobile phone will be equipped with MediaTek's ten-core Helio X20 processor, and other configurations are expected to be further improved, and it is likely to become the first model of the Helio X20.

2, Apple applied for a new patent: the phone lens is no longer protruding. On January 26th, although Apple is vomiting, it is undeniable that Apple is one of the most innovative technology companies in the world today. In terms of patents, Apple pays attention to patent protection and is the leader of the patent war. It once made HTC a partiality and pursued Samsung today. According to foreign media reports, Apple submitted a patent application for the camera to the USPTO (USPTO), which may make the lens of the iPhone or iPad smaller, not protruding, and better imaged in the future.

Third, the drone

1. Does Google enter the express delivery industry? Apply for a drone package patent. Recently, a patent application filed by the US Patent and Trademark Office showed that Google appears to be preparing to enter the express delivery industry. The company is developing a “distribution container” that can be installed on “air express delivery equipment” for safe storage of packages. It is reported that the container will be connected to the aerial drone using an infrared beacon and then direct the drone to deliver the package. The “shipping container” then sends the package to a secure location such as a garage.

Fourth, the robot

1. Xiaomi wants to build a robot to play rice noodles. Just one month before the announcement of the robotics field at the millet annual meeting, the Ninebot & Segway Group teamed up with Intel at CES 2015 to jointly launch a robot project called “Segway Robot”. Intel CEO Ke Zaiqi pointed out "This is our collaborative project with Xiaomi and Ninebot." In fact, Ninebot is one of Xiaomi's eco-chain companies. At the same time, the chassis of this robot is also the new No. 9 balance car jointly released by Xiaomi and Ninebot in October 2015.

2. American scientists develop super robots that transcend the human brain. Researchers at Harvard University are studying the image recognition capabilities of the human brain, with the ultimate goal of developing super-intelligent robots that transcend the human brain. According to the British Daily Mail, at present, Harvard University scientists have received $28 million to design a new computer system that recognizes and analyzes patterns faster than the human brain. It can be applied to artificial intelligence robots, perhaps smarter than the human brain. .

V. Biometric identification

1. The face recognition output value is estimated to reach 450 million US dollars in 2019. Market research institute TrendForce's Tuoba Industrial Research Institute has observed that Facial RecogniTIon has emerged in recent years due to applications in government, business, finance and consumers, and its output value will grow rapidly in the next five years. Estimated face recognition in 2015 The global production value is 230 million US dollars, and will grow to 450 million US dollars in 2019. The compound annual growth rate is 17.97%, with the Asia-Pacific region as the most important growth market, accounting for nearly 60% of the world.

2, Samsung applied for a new mobile phone patent: whispering is not heard by others. Samsung recently applied for a new patent in South Korea that allows smartphones to better recognize ear voice. In the patent, Samsung did not disclose the technology used to identify ear voices. According to the data, Samsung only added a pattern to recognize ear voices in mobile phones. The phone activates the whisper mode when the volume of the user's voice suddenly drops, or when a gesture is made on the display or near the display. For example, the phone can activate the whisper mode when the user speaks with his palm to block his mouth. Whisper mode is useful if the user does not want the conversation to be heard by outsiders.

Sixth, automotive electronics

1. Audi: It takes at least 10 years for a fully automated driverless car to mature. Although Tesla CEO Elon Musk is full of confidence in his driverless car, Audi is still very cautious, thinking that no-automobile technology will mature, at least 10 years. In a recent interview, Scoot Keogh, president of Audi's US market, said that we would like to see a mature driverless car in the market, at least 10 years. And his remarks are obviously more cautious than the current view of Elon Musk's promotion of driverless cars in the United States and Nissan's 2020 driverless cars on the road.
