FEATURES OF AN ADVANCEDIN-VEHICLE INFOTAINMENT
SYSTEM
Embedded Processors
At the present time, SoC makers are concentrating on designing high-
performance, low-power processors dedicated for infotainment
applications. These advanced processors are designed to display the
information on multiple screens such as HUD, Rear-view mirror, seat-back
displays, instrument cluster, etc. and supply an improved in-vehicle
experience to driver and passengers. These most recent DSPs and ARM
combined SoCs enables the incorporation of all the above infotainment
components along with driver assistance systems to dispense a connected
environment.
High-Resolution Touch Screen Display Monitors
The ‘Control System Dashboard’ is the head unit of any automotive
infotainment system.The touchscreen presents a compact display with
large buttons and icons for safe and ease of operation during driving. The
menu consists of multimedia icons to control and use various features
such as radio, map, Bluetooth hands-free facility, music streaming, voice
control, weather change, etc.
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows the driver to operate a car’s functions via voice
command. By speaking directions, the driver can run features such as
navigation, radio, phone media, call, and even air condition temperature,
instead of using the physical buttons on the dashboard. In order to enhance
comfort and safety for the driver and passengers the Voice recognition in
cars is being gradually used.With voice commands, the driver will spend
less time fiddling with buttons or touchscreens, and instead, both hands
can be kept on the wheel and eyes kept on the road.Most of the automotive
cars has the capability to learn the driver’s voice over time and understand
phrases and words that make it easier to use, while others are being
developed to be able to respond to requests such as ‘I want to re-fuel’ – it’ll
then give you your options as to where you’ll be able to find one nearby fuel
station.
Seatback Display
The car seat-back display also known as the rear-seat display is designed
to entertain passengers sitting in the rear. The smart display screens offer
an easy way for passengers to connect to the AV devices without any
hassle. The seat-back display unit allows passengers to enjoy music,
shows, games and even movies in high resolution via external memory
devices or real-time streaming. In addition, to offer audio and video
entertainment, rear-seat entertainment displays are now offering email and
Internet connectivity. It can also provide information regarding the vehicle,
its navigation, and connectivity.
Smartphone Integration
Integrating smartphones to cars or any other vehicle via the Infotainment
system provides a safe, smart and convenient way to the drivers to use
their smartphones on-the-go without any distraction. Pairing your
smartphone with the vehicle infotainment system, either using hand free
Bluetooth connectivity, USB or Wi-Fi, enables you to easily and
conveniently access various features of the phone via the dashboard of the
car. It allows the driver to make or receive calls, send a voice message,
read texts, play music, radio, stream data for navigation, play podcasts,
and much more. One of the key features of a smartphone integrated
solution is that it provides hands-free operations typically through voice
recognition and text-to-speech interfaces of the smartphone.The Bluetooth
paired smartphone with the infotainment system displays the phone’s
contact list, messages, appointment, notifications, music details, and other
information on the dashboard screen for easy access and seamless user
experience.
Automotive Navigation System
The navigation system in automobiles uses GPS data to inform or alert the
driver about traffic, congestion, collision, etc. Combining the use of
interactive onboard maps and GPS data, the vehicle can plot the best
routes to a given destination. The navigation system is also capable of
accurately tracking the present place or live position of the vehicle to
provide the information to the driver on-screen, without any distractions.
This navigation system feature enhances the safety of the driver and
passengers, and eventually reduces the stress level while driving.
Aftermarket to In-built Infotainment Systems
The biggest factor that separates the cars of today from previous cars is
the integration of electronics, infotainment system and connectivity in
almost every aspect. Over time, the car cockpit has evolved from
integrating an after-market, pluggable audio system as an option to
advanced in-built infotainment systems providing an enhanced experience
to the driver. Large analog tuners and buttons have been replaced by touch
screens and elegant soft-touch pads. The audio and video controls are
elegantly integrated on steering wheels to provide superior user experience
and minimize safety-related issues.
