Nanjing Hua Xun News It is well known that mBack is a very easy-to-use interaction method for Meizu. Many people think that this is a toxic design and go back after using it. Earlier, there were also rumors that Meizu's mBack had applied for a patent. For a mobile phone, besides the design patent, there are also functional patents. At present, in a large number of published patent materials, Meizu's patent on mback interactive function has not been found.

On October 18, the hammer M1/M1L was officially released, with strong configuration and good appearance. Some of the most controversial places is its HOME key, which is shaped like Apple's circular Home key, with Meizu's mBack interaction. After the press conference, many charm friends complained about Meizu and felt that Meizu's pride had been copied again.

In this regard, Meizu vice president and Flyme chief designer Yang Yan also expressed their views, quite atmospheric. And said in the micro-blog Meizu is likely to give up the mBack patent, choose open source. This means that it is possible for mBack to be used for reference on other brands of mobile phones in the future, and it does show that this application experience is fully recognized.

But there is no doubt that, as Yang Yan said, some people learn from mBack is the ultimate way of recognition. Meizu's innovative ideas in product interaction are indeed admirable, from small dots to Meizu mBack, all the way to explore, won the praise of Meizu users.

Since Meizu's oval Home key, there have been more and more similar designs on the market, but most of them have only made shapes intentionally or unintentionally, and have not used the interaction of "touch the Home key to return to the previous level and press to return to the desktop. This time, the hammer M1/M1L uses the shape of the iPhone Home key and the "quality" of Meizu ".

At present, the homogenization of smart phones is becoming more and more serious. I think functional highlights like mBack can undoubtedly receive higher recognition. Although friends feel sorry that mBack is no longer unique, technology and innovation are just like this. It is always a process of continuous progress. The real king is-it has been imitated and never surpassed.
