　　南京华讯报，魅族将在8月10日发布E系列新品，但到底是手机还是智能手机则众说纷纭。而现在，则有网友曝光了最新公布的魅族手机专利设计，不仅显示采用了双面玻璃设计，而且还在出现了一个较大的圆形孔洞，为此有网友推测该专利设计有可能才是魅族即将推出的E 系列新机，主要特色是在背面加入了墨水屏，能够带来全新的交互模式，包括显示时间和信息，并选择个人喜好的色彩等等。

　　「南京华讯」魅族8月10日发E系列新品，iPhone7将增加蓝色版本

　　从此次网友在论坛曝光的魅族手机专利设计来看，其正面的外形与魅族家族式造型没有什么区别，而底部则采用了USB-C接口，至于边框部分则似乎为金属材质。同时由于在专利说明中还强调了手机正面与背面覆盖有透明件，所以不出意外的话，应该是双面玻璃的设计。

　　不过，真正吸引眼球的则是专利设计的魅族手机背面出现了一个较大的圆形孔洞，但没有说明具体的作用。不过，按照南京华讯的推测，这样的设计有可能意味着魅族将在手机的背面加入墨水屏，并带来全新的交互模式，比如在平常可以显示时间或通知信息，并且用户还可以根据个人喜好设置不同的提示色彩等等。

　　E系列释义

　　尽管这仅仅是网友的猜测，但魅族将采用墨水屏设计的传言由来已久，并且据称锤子手机也有可能在将来采用类似的设计。同时如果即将登场的魅族E系列新品确将采用墨水屏的话，那么其英文名称“E Ink”或许也可以理解为E系列的由来。不过，也有网友表示魅族E系列的“E”所代表的含义为“extraordinarily”，也就是不同寻常的意思。

　　值得一提的是，此前泄露的魅族E系列真机上则没有看到这样的设计，但这款新机无论外形还是配置都没有什么特别的地方，因此以全新“E系列”的名称登场似乎缺少更多的看点。而假如这次曝光的专利设计才是真正的魅族E系列新机的话，则无疑会借助所谓的“墨水屏”设计而更具吸引力。

　　8月10日揭晓谜底

　　当然，以上说法皆为网友的推测，魅族将在8月10日发布的E系列新品到底是什么，现在尚未确切的消息。但无论如何，如果魅族能够将这样的专利设计付诸于现实的话，相信还是会赢得不少用户的青睐，毕竟在当前智能手机外形和功能都趋于同质化的情况下，魅族这样的全新设计多少会给人耳目一新的感觉。

　　此外，尽管在魅族发送的邀请函中，也出现了黑色圆形的图案，似乎与此次专利设计有些吻合，但有网友在微博上爆料称，魅族E将是新系列产品，介于魅蓝 Metal和魅族MX系列之间，并且魅族在8月10日将会推出魅蓝Metal 2和魅族E两款新机。至于消息的真伪，南京华讯觉着还是留到下周的魅族发布会为我们揭晓谜底吧。

Electronic Arts pledges free use for five accessibility patents

Electronic Arts pledges free use for five accessibility patents Recently, Electronic Arts (EA) announced a patent pledge that gives other companies and developers free access to five of its current accessibility-related patents and technology. The company promised not to enforce against any party for infringing any of the listed patents. Instead, EA hopes to encourage “innovation” and build new features that make video games more inclusive on a much larger scale by opening up the patents. Electronic Arts (EA) is an American video game company founded in 1982. The company owns many popular and famous games, such as The Sims, SimCity, Apex Legends, Madden NFL and FIFA. Each of the games has more than 30 or 50 million sales volume. Significantly, esports involves FIFA and Apex Legends into the event list. Apex Legends has up to 1 billion players, and it is so popular that it has a Switch version. Within the freely available patents, one of which grabs everyone’s attention -- Apex Legends’ ping system (patent No. US 11097189). The ping system in Apex Legends, which excellently allows players to make communication and teamwork quick and easy without hearing or speaking, has been praised both as an impressive alternative to voice chat and as a great accessibility feature for players with a variety of disabilities. The other patents include the technology widely used in the FIFA and Madden NFL. The innovations can automatically detect and modify colors (patent No. US 10118097 and CN 107694092) and contrast ratios (patent No. US 10878540) to improve gamers’ visibility with colorblindness and low vision. Furthermore, one of the patents relates to personalized sound technology, helping players with hearing issues by modifying or creating music based on their preferences (patent No. US 10790919). The code of the mentioned technology is published on EA’s GitHub, and it is open to all developers. Thus, the developers can use it or adapt it for their games without spending the costs to research. It is good that EA shares the patents for free use and aims to create an accessibility-increased gaming environment for players. However, it is not “unconditional” to use the listed patents. In the pledge, EA mentioned that it may terminate the promise for a specific party which files a patent infringement lawsuit or other patent proceedings against EA. We can see parts of EV’s ambition behind the announcement—to build a large game developer league and a community of shared interests.

Types of patents that are easily overlooked- Design Patent

Types of patents that are easily overlooked- Design Patent In recent years, as the public’s awareness of intellectual property has increased, people have begun to consciously use the patent law to protect their intellectual property rights. However, in the process of implementation, they often only focus on invention patent and utility model patent, and tend to ignore the protection of design patent. Recently, Midea sued Haotaitai for two models of CXW-300-D998 and CXW-300-D908 Haotaitai brand range hoods In the case of suspected infringement of its design patent (patent number: ZL201930621598.X), the Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court made a first-instance judgment after hearing that it determined that the two products of Haotaitai constituted infringement, and ordered it to immediately stop the infringement and compensate Midea, The company's economic losses and reasonable expenses totaled 360,000 yuan. In fact, appearance infringement cases have occurred from time to time before, such as: "Molly" blind box design patent case, "Siemens" switch design patent infringement dispute case received a compensation of 6 million yuan, three Casio watch design patents were infringed Received a compensation of 8.8 million yuan and so on.

Colopl Settles Patent Infringement Lawsuit with Nintendo by Paying $30 Million

Colopl Settles Patent Infringement Lawsuit with Nintendo by Paying $30 Million This August, Nintendo and a game developer Colopl announced that they have settled for patent infringement regarding White Cat Project (Shironeko Project in Japanese), a smartphone game developed by Colopl. Although both companies did not publicly share exact details of the settlement, at least it is sure that Colopl agreed to pay 3.3 billion yen (about US$30.2 million) as the settlement fee for the proceedings, including the future license of Nintendo's patents. How did the battle begin? Being developed and published by a Japanese game developer, Colopl, White Cat Project is a free-to-play action role-playing game for Android and iOS systems. The mobile game was launched in July 2014 as well as got a television anime adaptation in 2020. It is incredibly popular to have more than 50 million downloads. Furthermore, the game is set to receive a Switch version titled "Shironeko New Project". In September 2016, Nintendo noted the Colopl's game and considered that the game had infringed on several of Nintendo's technology patents. The two companies communicated with each other for over a year; however, Nintendo did not accept the explanations from Colopl, and Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Colopl at the beginning of 2018. Nintendo claimed that Colopl infringed 6 of its patents. These patents protect touch-screen joystick functionality (patent no. JP3734820), multiplayer connectivity (patent no. JP5595991, JP6271692), confirmation screens in sleep mode (patent no. JP4010533), character attacks based on touch input locations (patent no. JP4262217), and a shadow effect placed on characters hidden behind the game geometry (patent no. JP3637031). These patents almost cover various ways of game technology, especially the patent JP5595991 and JP6271692. Their patent family is wide-reaching, and many divisional applications of the family are pending in Japan. They protect a communication game system and its related devices. It is not easy to detect the patent's existence and boundary since this kind of hardcore technique is so common in the gaming field and our daily lives. The five-year patent war has been settled. After a five-year dispute, the situation appeared to turn in Nintendo's favor as the Switch maker increased its monetary demands, which convinced Colopl to strike a deal that lets it use the disputed patents. Furthermore, a Switch version of White Cat Project remains in the works at Colopl. With the extraordinary losses of Colopl, the legal battle between the two companies came to an end.
