Feeling that the discussion had reached a point, Chen Yu spoke up, "It seems everyone is quite interested in this. How do you use it without a keyboard?! Using voice?! Obviously, that's not very realistic, at least not right now, because it's too restrictive."

The experience was terrible. It's much better to use the keyboard!

Some people have suggested using superpowers! That's a good suggestion, but I want to say, putting aside the question of whether a phone can be controlled by superpowers, the key question is, do you even believe you have superpowers?!

These words elicited slight smiles from everyone; indeed, superpowers were simply a joke.

"So what can replace the keyboard?! Today we'll give you an answer! Please watch the AVI!" Chen Yu said, and a video began playing on the huge screen behind him.

The video provides a direct and detailed demonstration of the touch functionality.

The video is short but exquisite. Everyone understood it, and it has a beautiful and captivating quality that makes you want to experience it yourself.

"My God?! This idea is truly unparalleled. No wonder he's the Crown Prince. Moving the keyboard to the screen and using touch controls is amazing, truly amazing. Putting everything else aside, I give him a thumbs up just for this technology. I have to buy one to play with. It's so damn smooth, especially that swipe, it's just too elegant!"

"Wow, this idea is truly amazing! I've thought of many things, but I never thought of touchscreens, which are closest to us. However, touchscreens are extremely expensive, and implementing them on a mobile phone is incredibly difficult. But this is a great idea. Thumbs up to Chen Yu, this solution is excellent!"

"It perfectly solves the problem of using a keyboard without having to worry about the user experience. I just don't know how it will be. But the experience already feels pretty good; the smooth swipe is really cool!"

"Yes, this feature is great, I like it. Just for this reason alone, as long as the price isn't outrageous, I'll definitely buy one!"

The reporters, media, and tech enthusiasts at the scene were very excited. This was a hot topic! A phone without a keyboard—that's a really good and appealing concept.

The tech enthusiasts were also thrilled. They were most interested in novel digital products, and this phone, putting everything else aside, was absolutely fantastic. This trip was definitely worthwhile!

However, Steve Jobs in the United States was not calm. When he saw this feature, he turned pale. This was a feature of his product launch a week later, and it had been stolen by a Chinese company.

"Harlan, check this patent of ours for me. I'm going to sue them!" Jobs made a direct call to his subordinate.

But a moment later, his subordinate gave him a message that almost made him faint with anger: they didn't have the patent; it was in the hands of a man named Chen Yu in the United States.

Who is Chen Yu?!

Isn't that the person holding the press conference right in front of us?!

He had a premonition that Chen Yu's appearance would wither the fruit that had been accumulating for so many years and was ready to burst forth!

"You're probably surprised and curious about this, but that's not our focus today. Currently, Zhanlong Technology possesses the world's most advanced touch technology. As for the screen, we use a ten-point capacitive screen, not those resistive screens."

Resistive touchscreens are pressure-sensitive devices; they can detect any bending caused by an object on the screen surface.

Pressing the screen hard is really not a good idea, because pressing the keys is much more satisfying than pressing the screen with force.

However, capacitive touchscreens work on a different principle. When a user touches a capacitive touchscreen, the electric field of the user's finger and the working surface form a coupling capacitor. Because a high-frequency signal is applied to the working surface, the finger absorbs a very small current, which flows out from the electrodes at the four corners of the screen. Theoretically, the current flowing through the four electrodes is proportional to the distance from the fingertip to the four corners. The controller determines the finger's position by precisely calculating the proportions of the four currents. Therefore, capacitive touchscreens are operated by human touch and do not require pressing.

The operation is completed with just a light touch, and the response speed is faster than resistive touchscreens. Can you even feel the millisecond-level response?!

Regarding surface hardness, resistive touchscreens have a lower hardness because their surface needs to bend for sensing, resulting in a soft, pliable feel when drawn on. Capacitive touchscreens, on the other hand, typically have a smooth and hard glass backing.

"Here's a short video showing how capacitive touchscreens work!" Chen Yu said, standing to the side and waiting for the video to play. The audience eagerly awaited its release.

After all, what Chen Yu said was too amazing and mysterious. Non-professionals might not understand, but professionals would know that although Chen Yu was talking about touch screens, they were completely different experiences.

One is the luxurious enjoyment of an emperor, and the other is the enjoyment of a beggar.

However, capacitive screens seem to exist only in laboratories at present, and commercial use still seems to be just a legend.

However, judging from Chen Yu's words, it seems to be fully commercialized, which is definitely exciting news.

The video is very short, only a few tens of seconds long, but it explains the difference between resistive and capacitive screens very clearly.

"Impressive. Putting everything else aside, just based on technology alone, Zhanlong Technology has gained another source of revenue that will last for several years."

"This technology is amazing. Judging from the reactions of those foreigners, they must be shocked. And some foreign geeks are obviously very excited about this screen. It's a great thing."

"I just did a cloud search and found that the cost and technology of capacitive screens completely outclass resistive screens. Moreover, there are no commercial examples yet. Zhanlong Technology can be said to be the world's first company to officially commercialize it, and it's used in mobile phones. I guess Zhanlong Technology has a bleak future. Anyway, I'm going to work hard to get a job at Zhanlong. Damn it, even cleaning toilets would be an honor!"

"Yes, that's amazing. But this technology probably wasn't developed by Zhanlong Technology; it was probably something the Crown Prince came up with."

"Pretty much. Zhanlong Technology hasn't been established for very long, so it should all be provided by Chen Yu."

"What a monster! Such a monster! I'm speechless."

"Haha! But I'm really curious how much this phone can sell for!"

"Me too, looking forward to it! I hope it won't be too low, but given Zhanlong Technology's nature, it probably won't be too low."

"Yes!"

Steve Jobs was devastated. The first generation of the iPhone used a resistive screen, and he wanted to use a capacitive screen, but no company could provide one. He was willing to pay three times the price of a resistive screen for a capacitive screen, but he couldn't find one!

Chen Yu's move completely disrupted Apple's plans. Using a resistive screen would undoubtedly damage Apple's reputation, and the label of "inferior product" would likely become synonymous with the brand. This was definitely not what he wanted. (To be continued.)
