The IROBOT, the largest manufacturer of sweeping machines in the United States, sued the patent infringement, and Matsushita saw a 25-fold difference with IROBOT.
It was thought that they would have swallowed up and eventually ended up with some similarly obedient companies exiting the market. However, Song Teng actually retired, and the conditions for reconciliation were mutual innocence. The key to the Jedi counterattack was the assistance from Taiwan’s ITRI because of Song Teng. There is a technology patent that detects location-based construction of maps. This is a patent that ITRI applied for in 2010 to research and develop service robots in both China and the United States.
The IROBOT from the United States launched a high-priced machine in 2013. The main function is the navigation and cleaning function developed by this patented technology. If the defendant’s infringement was established, and the image of IROBOT was severely stricken, IR Yong Wu, a lawyer from mainland China, brought IROBOT to the front. The China Intellectual Property Court did not pay a penny, and the Chinese mainland factory may be tragically shut down. Like its sweeping machine, it will be able to escape from its difficulties.
This move encircled Wei to save Zhao and transferred the main battlefield from the United States to mainland China. From being beaten to attacking, he swept away the haze and swept thousands of troops.

3.Uber applies for car VR patents: On the unmanned car you enter the game world
Nowadays, many technology companies and car manufacturers are developing self-driving cars. Such cars will liberate the hands of the owners. How do you drive the 'boring' time?
According to the latest news from foreign media, Uber has applied for two patents to prepare for the development of a vehicle-mounted virtual reality (VR) system. In the future, unmanned passengers can enter a wonderful virtual world with the vibration of vehicles. .
Uber is the inventor of the global business model for the car business. Now it is developing four cars in North America to test self-driving cars. After the technology is mature, Uber will launch a taxi to the market instead of today's 'car network'. .
In addition to automatic driving, Uber is already considering the future entertainment of unmanned passengers in the car.
According to the US media Vice report, in February, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued two patents filed by Uber. The patent applications last August 5th, the contents of the two patents are basically the same. The title is 'Vehicle-oriented virtual reality. Experience'.
Uber mentioned in the application document that, whether it is a manned or self-driving car, many people drive on the same route every day. They want to be able to use their travel time to experience something new, not just through the car window. Looking at the scenery outside.
Uber mentioned that it is possible to use a vehicle-based virtual reality system to provide a unique user experience. This VR system will be connected with various sensors of self-driving cars to create a new VR experience.
For example, in an action-themed virtual reality game, the game can obtain information on the vibration of the vehicle, thus allowing the player to feel more in-person.
In the past two years, companies including HTC, Oculus and others have introduced virtual reality helmets, but some consumers have experienced vertigo. In vehicle-mounted virtual reality, the reduction in the delay between vehicle vibration and games may alleviate dizziness. problem.

Uber’s official has not commented on the car VR message.

The expert said that excellent virtual reality game developers can integrate the vehicle's mobile information into the game software, but Uber has not introduced it in detail.
Users who are immersed in the virtual reality experience will often be 'out of touch' with the real world around them, and even allow onlookers to bear with it.
Uber also mentioned in the application documents that it is possible to embody the surrounding passengers in virtual reality games and content to avoid physical collisions. It is also possible to 'monitor' whether a passenger at the side is stealing personal items. Tencent Technology
