Yesterday, Alipay announced the red envelope game for the Spring Festival of the Rooster. This time Alipay will introduce the hot summer game "Pokemon G" into the Spring Festival red envelope, adding AR (Augmented Reality) technology to allow users to enhance offline communication during the reunion.

The "AR Real Red Packet" game method announced by Alipay is based on the "LBS (Location Based Service) + AR + Red Packet" method. When users send and grab red packets, they need to meet the two conditions of geographic location and AR real-time scanning.

During the reunion of the Spring Festival of 2017, each user can use the Alipay to "hidden" a red envelope in the office, living room, etc., and then send the clue picture to relatives and friends, let them find the red envelope through the clue. As a tool, the AR real red envelope can be used in various scenes such as the annual meeting and class reunion to create a joyful game atmosphere for various scenes.

The deep interaction of AR red envelopes, the combination of online and offline, can also promote interaction between merchants and users. The merchant can return a part of the promotion fee to the user in the form of an AR real red envelope, and at the same time drain the offline store and increase the user's participation. For example, an offline restaurant can set up an AR real red envelope, set the location at the door of the store, and use the logo of the store as a clue map to attract users to participate.

This will be the date the company announces the next important news, and everyone can only guess at the moment. HTC has a lot of business interest around the world, but most consumers know about its smartphone brand and the recent HTC Vive heads.

1. Nokia v. Apple 32 patent infringement Apple: This is extortion

On December 21st, US time, Nokia said that it had filed several lawsuits against Apple in Germany and the United States, alleging that Apple's products infringed on Nokia's 32 technology patents in order to counter the legal actions Apple took on the day before.

On December 20, Apple took legal action against Acacia Research and Conversant Intellectual Property Management, a third-party company called Patent Assertion Entities (PAEs), accusing the two companies of colluding with Nokia and unfairly to Apple. Ask for too much.

In response, Nokia responded to Apple by direct prosecution.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Nokia has filed suits in the Düsseldorf, Mannheim and Munich district courts in Germany and the Eastern District of Texas in the United States. The patent covers the display, user interface, software, and antennas. And video coding and other technologies. Nokia also said it will file further lawsuits in other jurisdictions.

As early as 2009, Apple and Nokia had patent disputes, which also triggered Apple’s anti-litigation and triggered a wave of patent litigation between several major mobile phone manufacturers and computer maker giants to compete for the booming smartphone market. . However, the two parties finally reached a comprehensive agreement in 2011, which allowed Apple to use part of the Nokia patent for a fee.

But Nokia still believes that Apple has used some of the patents it has no right to use in the years from 2011 to the present.

Nokia said in the statement: "Since agreeing to a license agreement covering some of Nokia's patents in 2011, Apple refused to accept Nokia's license to use other Nokia patented inventions, which are used by many Apple products. ”

In response, Apple spokesperson said that Apple has always been willing to pay "fair prices" for its products, but "Nokia refused to set a fair price for its patents, and now attempts to use patent ransomware strategy to Apple. Blackmail money."

When the two companies reached a settlement in 2011, Apple paid $720 million to Nokia. But analysts believe that the two competitive litigation may not cause too much industry impact, and Nokia is unlikely to get a ban on Apple's use of its patents.

In 2014, Nokia, once the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, abandoned its mobile phone manufacturing business and sold the business to Microsoft for $5.86 billion, focusing on the network equipment business. But the patents that Nokia holds are still used in the various smartphones and tablets on the market today.

With the shrinking sales of network equipment worldwide, Nokia is increasingly relying on its patent business. In 2015, among the annual revenues of Nokia, the patented business unit received a total revenue of 1.02 billion euros, equivalent to 8% of the company's total sales.

"The stock market wants to see that Nokia can generate some patent revenue because it doesn't have much other (business)," said patent analyst Florian Mueller.

In view of the problem that the existing new energy vehicle subsidy standards are too high, enterprises are over-reliant on subsidy policies, and the technical performance of new energy automobile products that enjoy subsidies is low, and the actual utilization rate of some vehicles is low. On the 21st, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the adjustment plan for new energy vehicles. In the future, the financial subsidy policy will be adjusted, including setting the central and local subsidy ceilings, and adjusting the method of fund disbursement, from pre-adjustment to post-event liquidation, and strengthening the review of local fund application reports. And the promotion of verification, while improving the entry barriers for subsidized models and so on.

Analysts pointed out that the adjustment of the financial subsidy program for new energy vehicles will help to establish a more complete industrial environment, effectively eliminate the phenomenon of “cheat compensation”, and promote the rapid development of high-quality new energy auto companies, avoiding the low-tech of the entire industry. Vicious competition at the level.

Change 1 Total control of subsidies

According to the new standard, the new energy vehicle subsidy will maintain the overall stability of the subsidy policy in 2016-2020, appropriately adjust the subsidy methods for passenger cars and special vehicles, raise the technical threshold, encourage technological progress, set central and local subsidy ceilings, and prevent local support. The subsidy standard is too high.

Change 2 quarterly prepayment for year-end liquidation

That is to say, starting from 2016, the subsidies for the purchase of new energy vehicles will be changed from ex ante to post-liquidation, and verification of the review and promotion of funds application reports will be strengthened.

According to the previous management measures, the central government will allocate the subsidy funds to the new energy automobile production enterprises, and implement the quarterly pre-dial and annual liquidation. After the product is sold, the production enterprise submits the application for pre-granting subsidy funds to the financial and scientific and technological departments where the enterprise is registered at the end of each quarter. The local finance and science and technology departments review it and report it to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Science and Technology. After the four ministries have reviewed the organization, they will allocate subsidy funds to the relevant enterprises.
