BEIJING - A new mobile phone operating system was unveiled by a Chinese tech firm onThursday, making it the country's first smart phone system with independent intellectual property rights.
The system, named 960 OS, was developed by the Coship Electronics Co., Ltd. It is a brandnew operating system following predecessors such as Android, IOS, and Windows phone, the Shenzhen-based company said.
960 OS is a native operating system based on the Linux kernel and took Coship 15 years todevelop, said the company's chair, Yuan Ming, noting that the system can provide better protection for information stored in a smart phone.
As the majority of smartphones in the Chinese market use foreign operating systems such as Android and IOS, the ownership of one system with independent IPR is essential for bothnational and individual information security, according to Liu Yunjie, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
It can boost the competitiveness of China's mobile and Internet industry, he added.
