Automotive Electronics Semiconductor and Remote Control Technology Coupled with Cart-based Entertainment System

The automotive application processor integrates RealVNC's remote control technology to lay the foundation for a smart phone-centric automotive infotainment system.

STMicroelectronics (ST), the original inventor and technology provider of VNC integrated remote control technology from RealVNC in automotive infotainment applications. This integration will help reduce the R&D difficulties of mobile and automotive connectivity solutions, accelerate the rollout of new products, and support seamless interoperability between mobile application software and automotive systems.

The smartphone-centric in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) is the next step in the mobile technology convergence initiative; this system enables cars to access content in portable devices and displays data on the host computer with built-in dashboards. And application software. For example, the driver can view Google Maps maps or smart phone navigation applications on the on-board display and control the application software from the on-board display. In the same way, the driver can gracefully control the music playback on the larger car display screen without having to explore the health of the mobile device while driving. The use of industry-standard interface technology like VNC ensures that all mobile phones or mobile devices can be applied to all vehicles, allowing drivers to focus more attention on the road conditions.

ST's built-in GPS infotainment application processor is developed for automotive and portable navigation systems. It features high integration and high performance. The processor meets the constraints of cost-sensitive applications and strict car quality and safety. Claim. After being widely used in the research and development of automotive audio and video system host, STMicroelectronics further integrated VNC automotive technology on the processor.

The application processor with integrated VNC Automotive interface enables automatic detection, screen copying, and access to fixed input controls, such as steering wheel switches and head-unit buttons, from the car's touch screen, controlling almost any mobile device. With ST's application processor pre-integrated with RealVNC's remote control capabilities, in-vehicle infotainment consoles and infotainment system vendors can accelerate the introduction of smartphone-centric automotive infotainment systems.

In addition, ST's infotainment applications processor can provide GNSS positioning signals for passengers' smartphones through the audio-visual system built into the dashboard, enabling navigation and positioning functions to be more accurate, and battery life for mobile phones to be longer.

VNC Automotive provides full cross-platform remote control functions and control of mobile phones from the IVI system. This technology also enables mobile phones to achieve more features and higher performance, and can be imported and mass-produced for various mobile phones.
